Casa Bosco (140 square meters) offers a peaceful holiday. It is set in a lush Mediterranean garden with olive-lemon-orange-avocado trees, lots of sunny and shady spots. This charming country house has been completely renovated, and furnished in a very pleasant modern way, whilst retaining its traditional Italian country house character.' On the ground floor are the living room with satellite TV, wireless Internet , small sitting room with open fire and sofa bed (queen size), dining room, kitchen and half bath with washing machine. On the upper floor, three double bedrooms, one of which has twin beds, one single room, two bathrooms with tub and/or shower.
There is a large terrace for outside dining, the garden is furnished with deckchairs. Gated parking. There is a large wood veranda set out into the olive grove with sea views, perfect for your FREE estate produced wine.
The Tigullio Bay ( 40 kilometres east of Genoa) stretches from Portofino to Sestri Levante. The bay has long sandy-gravel and pebble beaches, a large Marina in Chiavari, Lavagna and Santa Margherita. This beautiful coastline offers elegant seaside resorts such as Santa Margherita, Rapallo with golf club, riding center and cultural events, Zoagli a small cozy serene beauty, Sestri Levante in the Bay of Silence, two arms of the sea embracing a village suspended in blue. Last but not least: Portofino, which does not need to be introduced to you: the rich and the beautiful (and you) in the little harbor for an aperitif, cappuccino or meal.
Chiavari is a typical Ligurian town, good shopping, good restaurants and the well known antique market which is held every second weekend of the month.
East of the Tigullia bay is the national park 'Cinque Terre' which you best reach by train (30 minutes from Chiavari), five miles of rocky shore, thousands of kilometers dry stone walls cultivated vines, five 'Cinque' little villages 'Terre' once only possible to reach by sea. The dramatic coast falling to the sea with cliffs which are often vertical, enchanting beaches among the rocks, the world renowned trail connecting the villages.
One week in Casa Bosco is too short: beaches, sea trips to Portofino and San Fruttuoso, or all the way down to Porto Venere, walking in the Cinque Terre, shopping in Genoa, Zoagli a must, Nervi's seaside boulevard you should not miss and the fresh fish market in S. Margherita. Foodies will love this house, we will provide free Extra Virgin Olive Oil and wines produced on the estate - ideal accompaniments to the local specialties, pasta al pesto, anchovies in lemon, focaccia and pies - sweet and savory - and of course the wonderful ice-creams.

Location
The motorway passes thru a tunnel at back of property and is unseen and unheard from house.40 km east from Genoa near Portofino and 'Cinque Terre'. Casa Bosco is only three km from the centre of Chiavari which is a typical old Ligurian town with arched shopping arcades, boulevards, wood boardwalk beside the sea, a marina, sandy and gravel beaches. There is a footpath into town ( quite steep) of some 600 m which goes from the house into the old part of town. Cathedral in town and small local hillside church nearby Other Activities: boating, biking, shopping, culture, hiking and trekking along marked but unfrequented trails by sea coasts and along high ridges all with magnificent views See the world famous Aquarium in Genoa.
