Further details for this vacation house rental in Bonassola, Italy

Local bar/ Restaurants: A short walking distance up the road from the piazza of Costa is a neighborhood bar “Silvia” that serves alcohol, soft drinks, coffee and gelato and sells tobacco products and tickets for the ATC bus; it's open until midnight. This is a popular evening spot w/ Framura locals and vacationers; Silvia’s son Davide who runs the bar at night, speaks a little English and is a punk / R&R fan. Downstairs attached to the bar is Ristorante Silvia that is known for its seafood; I personally recommend the seafood appetizer There is another restaurant Ristorante Meri next door that is known for its fresh homemade pasta dishes and elegant service; I recommend their gnocchi w/ pesto and their pansotti w/ walnut sauce. However the latest news is that it will be closing soon as the owners wish to retire.

Parking & Shopping: Parking on the piazza of Costa is restricted to residents; non-residents can park in the public parking space which is located up an incline near Ristorante Silvia. Two times a week in the morning, there is either a grocery truck selling vegetables and fresh fruit or a truck selling fresh seafood that stops in the piazza of Costa. There are two grocery stores in Setta that sell bread, oil, eggs, dairy, meat, vegetables, fruit, wine and basics like laundry soap. There is a butcher shop Macelleria Bellolio Antonio in Castagnola

Misc : At the local bar located near the food stores in Setta, one can get international newspapers including the International Herald Tribune (which is published by the European offices of the NY Times), postcards, pens, writing materials, Italian magazines and books. The post office, the pharmacy and an ATM are located in Setta. There are other very small stores in Setta for clothing, basic sporting goods and hardware.

Quiet but close to lots of great stuff

mb & mh New York, NY
Review Submitted: April 22, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2008
We enjoyed our stay in Framura very much. Views are spectacular, it's a short bus ride to the train station and then only 10-15 minutes on the train to Cinqueterre. We went to a different town every day, also shopped in the hamlet in walking distance from the house and cooked many great meals in the evenings.
The house is cozy and comfortable and Framura is a great place in which to practice your Italian, even if its rudimentary.
Owner's Response: Ah but one should not forget to take the Via de Amore path from Riomaggiore to Manarola when you visit the towns of Cinqueterre; you are walking on a paved shelf on the mountains facing the Mediterranean, the shades of blue between the sea and the blues are breathtaking.

Framura house

Dorisanders Brooklyn
Review Submitted: April 19, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2008
In 2005, I had the pleasure of staying at this lovely home. My best recommendation is that I plan to go back.

Each morning, you can walk down to the mediterranean for a swim. Then as you are either walking or driving back up to the house, you can stop in the village on the hillside and buy fresh baked bread and eggs.
Each evening, I would make a cafe latte and sit watching the sunset over the mediterranean.

The experience of staying there was totally transformative.
Owner's Response: If you live in a modern busy city like NYC, my house in Framura is the place to let go and chill out.

Great Little House in Idyllic Location

Sparky Guy Brooklyn, NY
Review Submitted: November 21, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2007
I'd lived in Italy and visited many times, but I never gotten closer to the everyday life of small town life in the Bel Paese than in Framura. The town is peaceful, set at the top of a mountain on the Ligurian Riviera. An amazing setting, and a comfortable house for a great price. I could see a 1000 year-old church from the kitchen window, and had a view of the mountains from the bedroom.
