Holidays in Mediterranean style:
Relax underneath our old olive trees and let us invite you to a glass of red Italian wine on our lovely garden terrace, fragrant with the scent of rosemary, mint and, of course, roses. Afterwards you might like to sit in our little restaurant and enjoy a traditional country style Ligurian cuisine. Everybody who wants to explore the Cinque Terre, the ancient Genoa or the Jet-Set Area of Portofino find a base in the Roses House. Nature lovers, friends of the rumours of cicadas and birds, families with or without children find a friendly atmosphere to spend nice and peaceful holidays.
Living with the nature of Columbus:
More than a hundred years ago the grandfather of the actual owner came back from America and built up this beautiful house on a rock looking to the marvellous Goodfountain Valley (Val Fontanabuona, with the slate stones worked in the closed-by slate mine. A lot of Italians and more Ligurians went to America in past centuries. And while this man came back to his roots one of his close relatives founded the Columbus Day in America, Mr. Angelo Noce, born not even a hundred meters from the Roses House. A memorial tablet is posted in front of the mother of the current owner, Mrs. Olga Noce. An even Columbus itself once was inhabitant of this beautiful valley, came to earth at Terrarossa di Colombo, just a few kilometres up to the valley.
