We spent a week at Casa Luna in Castelvecchio di Rocca BARBENA and it is a cozy and authentic apartment high up in the mountains on the Italian Riviera. It is an apartment with soul and there are good opportunities to run and go hiking in the mountains just outside the door. Unfortunately, we were a bit unlucky with the weather so we were not fully utilized the otherwise lovely terrace in the apartment. If you are at the beach and sun, there are approximately 35 min drive to the nearest good beach in Alassio. But the trip is beautiful and there is no traffic so it was easy. The apartment is perfect if you want beautiful scenery, peace and quiet away from coverage:-).

The most unique and exciting place we've stayed holiday. What a field and what a city and a go apartment. Apart from the good rides on the race and MTB in the area could only pace valleys and heartbeat end calm .... Food, wine, a go book and so the view on the terrace, it's life .....

This place is magical. The hosts have clearly worked very hard to bring this remarkable centuries old home up to a level that was very comfortable to stay for the week. For anyone looking for an authentic and beautiful step back in time, this is it! However, since there was no wifi nor cell phone service available in the home, the fact that the hosts were in Denmark during our stay made our arrival and first days precarious. It is entirely possible--and even a plesure--to step off the grid and find other places to connect with wifi or phone. Yet the listing for this home clearly says there is wireless internet available, but this is simply not true. Additionally, there were no instructions in English (only in Danish?) left to welcome us into the home and so we accidently turned off the hot water heater for the first two days of our stay. Cold showers as a result! Once we were able to get a text message to the hosts, the problem was easily resolved. Again, this home is fantastic and we will certainly look forward to the next time we can be so lucky to vacation here in the future. Next time, we will just plan on a fully rustic step into the past to soak up all the splendid views and history this place and town have to offer.

With a little help of Italian bambini we found the front door of casa Luna. We felt immediately at home. In the kitchen we found all the necessary tools (of good quality) to prepare meals. Also there are good beds and a clean bathroom. We spend a lot of relaxing hours on the terrace, thanks to the deck chairs. Communication with Lone was easy, she was responding promptly all our questions. We enjoyed very much the medieval environment and to discover the passages and stairways in town. You better have portable luggage (no trolleys). And the "two minute walk " from the parking is a little bit optimistic, but it worth it all!

We spent 2 weeks in this fantastic home. It is very old, very well located with a beautiful view on the valley. I and my family want to thank Lone, the host, for the opportunity she gave us to know an incredible place rich of history and culture.

Castelvecchio is one of the most charming Italian villages we have ever visited! Whoever is looking for a quiet retreat to regenerate the soul will be very, very happy at Casa Luna. Everything ist quite as shown on the photos - and even better. The minute we arrived and stepped out on the terrace with the wonderful view, we felt relaxed and at home. The terrace was definitely the place where we spent most of our time: reading, eating, drinking wine and enjoying the landscape. The flat itself is as described and equipped with everything you need for two people - even for a longer visit. It might get a bit damp inside due to the structure of the houses (the village seems to be "carved" out of the rocks...) but at the same time we appreciated it being a lot cooler than outside. We didn't meet Lone in person but communication with her was always quick, easy and friendly. As was the entire village! Everybody was very welcoming and helpful even though we do not speak Italian. We did use the bus system but would definitely recommend a car if you plan to get around. We would love to come back to Castelvecchio and Lone's terrase!

A lovely week in very special surroundings: The town provides the perfect opportunity to choose between the Italian Riviera 20-25 minutes from Castel Vecchio or the mountains that literally lies on the doorstep. The Castel Vecchio is a little dead out of season - we were there last week in May and it seemed like everything started up the following week - also on the Riviera. If you mainly go for peace and quiet, only a bonus :-) The nearest large town, Albenga, is not a beach resort but has a fine old town with excellent restaurants and specialty shops (the pasta is made while you wait). In one of the restaurants we were invited over to the nearby fish store to choose what we would eat. More fresh available not. The house is also particularly since it has been actually built along with the other houses, that only windows to one side or wall to the other. There was a little humid when we came because of a problem with the lighthouse, but when we host's help got it started, it was just fine. Both the house itself, furniture and furnishings are rustic, so if you are into modern glass and steel, you have to look somewhere else. The terrace is very nice and seems real as the house's living room. All in all a very nice trip to a nice place. The city is not deaf, remember to bring cash, reserve a table at the city good restaurant the day before (Antico Melo) and bring good hiking boots.

Castelvecchio di Rocca Barbena is an amazing place to rest and admire the nature. The city itself is very beautiful and Casa Luna was a very cozy place. Thank you very much for letting us spend a great week in such a picturesque scenery.

Guido and Francesca are two genuine and caring people and we could not have wished for a better welcome. They were the most perfect hosts - always there for any little detail and anxious to make our stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible. The place is a true haven of peace and such a cool and calm relief after the bustle of the seaside places nearby (only 10 minutes drive downhill). Clearly a lot of heart and thought has gone into the house and everything is so clean, new, comfortable and well-appointed. A wonderful experience with lovely people, full of spirit who restore one's faith in humanity!

In every detail of this place and the people who greet you feel two elements that nobody can guarantee, not even in the luxury facilities: love and authenticity. All the "technical" details are impeccable: order, cleanliness, punctuality, availability, not to mention the perfect wi fi that allowed me to work when I had the need. But to the unique atmosphere of this place is the people. Guido, Francesca and also the small Filippo live in consistency and connect with their world. Even house pets conquer you know with the "low profile" makes precious silences and silent, discreet presence. The place is quite isolated, it is clearly stated in the description. You lose the crowd, the convenience of the newspaper under the house, the noisy aperitif. You can find much more. Maybe even a new friendship.

Lovely place between mountains and sea, ideal for spending time in nature and the rest! It really is an air of home thanks to the kindness and the freshness of Guido and Francesca. Strongly recommended to all, a place to discover, even in winter! incomparable view! I hope to come back!

Fantastic place and very nice and friendly guests! The location is stunning, each room has a private garden and the room is well furnished and spotlessly clean! Not very loving chaos of the beaches we really enjoyed being able to return 'at home' and enjoy nature and tranquility. We were really good! Highly recommended to all! Thank you guys!

The place is very cozy, all new and very nice. Completely immersed in nature. You can definitely define bike friendly as we could wash the bikes and keep them within the structure overnight. The owners are nice, super friendly and very available for any need. Unfortunately the weather was not the best, certainly in good weather the stay would have been even better being able to make use of what is put in outdoor available. Also good idea of the kitchen available, which is unusual in the B & B, which has been very useful. We will definitely return!

We felt very comfortable with Guido and Francesca. The contact was very cordial, personal and enjoyable. It was all there what we needed and the entity has complied with the descriptions. The cozy stove in the living room was a big plus and made for a pleasant living environment. The homemade cakes was wonderful - thanks for everything! We can only recommend the hotel.

The b & b is beautiful. The room is very comfortable and everything spotlessly clean. A wonder garden and unbeatable views. There is a large and fully equipped kitchen and a barbeque in the garden, we could cook dinner and eat with the most beautiful view in any restaurant. If you do not want to cook nearby there is a trattoria. Guido and Francesca are perfect hosts and very friendly, always helpful and very welcoming. Their baby is also very nice and fantastic 2 dogs and 2 cats. A highly recommended place, we will definitely return

We stayed at Guido's for one night and it was a great experience. The place is really beautiful. The mountain view from our room (camera 1) when we woke up was impressive. We had breakfast in the garden looking at the mountains and chatted with our hosts for a couple of hours. Really cool guys and I was impressed by the story of how they created this lovely refuge. Great design, everything is brand new and you can tell they put their heart into it. Definitely worth visiting!

Alessandro was very kind, helpful and punctual. The house is in a very nice location, surrounded by greenery, ideal for a break from the city and breathe clean air. In the neighboring village you can find great restaurants where taste the local flavors

Not easy to find, the whole family we help Accommodation is large, located in a beautiful countryside Good advice from our bed

I'm very sorry for not taking a bike, it is a paradise for lovers of the good work!

We were guests in this apartment in the center of Calizzano for two nights. The house is lovely, very well equipped and very cool and quiet. Frederick is a wonderful host, friendly and helpful. For example, on arrival we had no problem to hand over the keys, even though we arrived in the evening. Near the apartment, in the main street of the village, there are several stores in which to shop and 20 steps (no more) from home is the laboratory where Federico produces excellent preserves, delicious jams (we tried the apricot) and seasonal mushrooms of Calizzano! In addition to walks in the woods in the area, from Calizzano you can also leave for a day of sea (the town is 25 km away from Finale Ligure, along a road between the charming forests) and go home in the evening in a relaxed place. We had a great time!

The house is really beautiful (the photos do not do justice) and in a great and charming location. The acceptance and availability of the owner were impeccable. Recommended without any doubt!

We stayed at 7 in the home of Frederick. The welcome was great. Frederick had delegated an acquaintance because we arrived very late at a time when he could not. It was explained to all working and the keys handed over. The apartment is very comfortable, is located right in the center of Calizzano, the owner we had turned on the beautiful wood stove and made finding a little 'wood for the weekend. We stayed very well. There are 3 bedrooms, 2 doubles and a single, a very nice living room with sofa bed and 2 bathrooms. In the house nothing is missing, sheets, towels, the kitchen is well equipped. Calizzano is a charming village from which to hiking and nature walks in search of mushrooms and of which the area is rich.

Casa di Giulio is a nice house in a beautiful spot in the mountains. Quiet and comfortable. We had good contact with Virginia and everything upon arrival was fine. The sea is not very far away and you can walk. I can recommend this place wholeheartedly!

We had an excelent stay, the view is superb. And the children happy to see a deer and a doe in the garden. I really recommend the casa di Guilio a location close to nature and twenty minutes from the sea. Virginia thank you again you're welcome in Francia as you want.

Our experience at Julius house has been extremely positive, both Virginia that the location is a place beautifully nestled in the woods and tranquility, while remaining at a distance even possible to do some day of sea. Thank you Virginia for the sympathy and the wide availability that has shown us! Honestly you feel right at home !!!

Grazie mille - we had a great time! The house is at the top of the mountains in a fantastic landscape - surrounded by nature and in absolute silence. Dinner hears call only the owl. The furnishings are well maintained and fully functional. For nature lovers, walkers and make mountain biking, it is ideal. Nearby there are charming mountain villages that you can explore and where you can eat well. Children and animals have plenty of outlet in the huge garden. The forest is literally just around the corner - great! At the beach we were slower, usually about 45 minutes - but that is probably due to our unitalienischen driving style :-) Thank you to Virginia, our warm hostess, we would definitely come back!

Beautiful house surrounded by nature, complete with everything you need, garden, parking. Great location, on the Ligurian Alps, less than an hour from a beautiful sea is close to the most important Ligurian attractions. Virginia, the hostess, and 'was very kind and extremely available we did not miss anything. Highly recommended for families, or couples with dogs looking for a relaxing holiday.

Virginia is a very nice person. I was with her a very good electronic contact and telephone. He is kind and helpful. The house is situated in a wonderful location. Morning and evening wonderfully singing birds. There is a very peaceful and beautiful. It was a base for us to explore the Liguria. We drove by car from the coast Canns to Portofino. We are pleased we will remember your stay in Erli.
