A perfect get away in Tuscany close to Cinque Terre

Located off the beaten track, high in the mountains, it felt as if we stepped back in time. The town was small and charming with a cafe, butcher and church within steps of eachother. We easily made day trips to more touristic destinations such as: Porto Fino, Cinque Terre, Genova, and other local beaches.
The castle house was just as charming as the rest of the town, however, it was hardly small! Our party of 22 stayed there quite comfortably with each family staying in their own private section. The rooms are spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated. The bottom floor apartment was quite rustic, however had several of the original fixtures and architectural features.
The grounds were very well kept and the gardens and pool area was lovely and very tranquil.
Mirella went out of her way to make us all feel like family, and she thoughtfully and carefully prepared meals of all 22 of us every night of our stay!! Extremely impressive....and Delicious! She was very helpful with recommendations, laundry, internet service or whatever we needed.
If you're looking for a peaceful, incredibly beautiful, authentic Italian experience, I'd highly recommend this property!

Staying with Mirella and Francesco is like coming home to old friends or family. The warm, friendly welcome cannot be matched. The location of the palazzo is perfect for visiting both the Cinque Terre and Parma - which were both amazing places to visit in thier unique way. We also loved staying in a typical Italian town reminiscent of a lifestyle and culture of which tourist rarely get a glimpse.
We will definitely be returning on a family trip!

Un lugar muy especial.... Completamente diferente de la tipica vida de hotel. Disfruta la estadía en un palacio de época, lleno de historia, construido durante el renacimiento y reestructurado para ser adaptado a las necesidades de nuestros días..... Pero dentro de un ambiente confortable, como a casa. Cómodo, acogedor, donde la limpieza, el ambiente y la compañia invita a conocer tanto el "Borgo", como todas las maravillas que encuentra en sus alrededores..... No dejar de incluir la experiencia de la degustación de productos típicos y vinos de la zona. Lo único que no pudimos disfrutar fue la piscina porque el tiempo era fresco para darse un baño, pero aunque uno encuentre fuera de la época veraniega, permite una sana lectura o disfrutar de los jardines que nos alejan por un poco de las selvas de concretos y del stress que acompañan nuestro día a día.... No dejen de probarlo!!!!
