Photos and Description of the Varese Ligure vacation rental 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 living rooms, sleeps 8

' We have returned from Italy, having had a moving and memorable trip, Le Moggie being the highlight. It is absolutely beautiful and serene. We were amazed and pleased by the spaciousness, the exquisite taste in the design both inside and outside, the lushness of the forest and farms and something else, hard to put into words, that reflects the beauty and balance that is Italy. ' Ron Veronda 2001,2002,2003, 2005, 2006, 2007. ( See our website for many more guest comments. ) REQUEST OUR WEBSITE ADDRESS. Our 16th century, stone villa is very privately situated in a national park on a mountainside overlooking chestnut forests and distant medieval villages. ' Le Moggie' is a rare place where you can find true tranquillity in an unspoiled region of northern Italy. Le Moggie has been completely restored and is furnished throughout with local antiques and original art . Some of the amenities the house offers are fireplace, baths with beautiful handmade tiles, gorgeous views.

Review Submitted: December 6, 2007 Date of Stay: December 2007
I have been meaning to write to you long before this to tell you how very much we liked our stay at Le Moggie. Did you do the restoration? It is an extraordinary example of achieving a comfortable, light and liveable space
while keeping the character and essence of the place.
The hikes were, as you said they would be, the best. We also got quite familiar with Varese Ligure and its various attractions, especially the bakery and Il Gallo Nero. Also the hardware store. We hope that we can come back to stay at Le Moggie again someday when we can spend more time and do more exploring. We think of it often. Judy Jackson 2005

Our stay at Le Moggie was fantastic !

Review Submitted: July 21, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
It was our first trip to Italy and Le Moggie was a good choice ! The house is fantastic and the view from the terrace is stunning !
The town of Varese Ligure is also very hospitable with friendly people. The restaurants are very good, we preferred Albergo Della Poste, very good food and a friendly lady. We made a lot of trips (Portovenere, Cinque Terre (on foot and by train), Sestri Levante, La Spezia, Pisa, Lucca, Portofino, etc.) and furthermore we enjoyed our evenings at Le Moggie listening to the sound of the forrest and his habitants.
The travellinginformation we received by the owner was very correct, it was the first time in 20 years of holiday (the years before we always went to France) that we didtn't have to look for the property, although the house is tricky to find the first time. The house was very clean and has everything to assure a comfortable stay.
We hope to return there in some of the following years. I would surrely recommend this property to a friend if he is not afraid to drive in the mountains because the road up from Varese Ligure to the house is a bit scary. Once you've done it a few times you get used to it.

Prompt and courteous responses by the owner, smooth transaction, property as described. It was more "off the beaten path" than we expected but that was fine and the surroundings were beautiful. We felt as if we were getting a genuine feel for the Italian (mountain) countryside and the life of the people. We would like to know two things: what does Le Moggie mean and what is its history? It was a positive experience and we would go back.
