CITR 010018-BEB-0005. The space THE ATMOSPHERE / THE MATERIALS Our B&B with the FLAVOUR OF LIGURIA from the 1800s, opened in 2017, is enveloped in an atmosphere that an English guest has defined as "cosy" thanks to the large GARDEN and the OPEN SPACE GROUND FLOOR. This space is characterised by slate, exposed stone walls, wooden ceilings and family orchids, and is complete with TV, fireplace, living room, dining room and kitchen. THE ROOMS Upstairs, there is the panoramic TERRACE, the double BEDROOMS with parquet flooring and the private BATHROOMS outside the floor. One bathroom is next to the bedroom, the other 5 metres down the corridor. They are equipped with towels and personal hygiene products made from botanical ingredients that respect human health and the environment. COLORS The pastel PINK colour of the typical façade painted "alla genovese" introduces the RED that stands out inside, where the cellars and the kitchen were formerly located, in contrast with the slate, "the BLACK GOLD of Liguria". On the first floor, the recurring colour is BLUE, which recalls the passions of the Grandfather: the SEA, the FLOWERS and the SKY, which give the rooms their names. Guest access THE COMMON SPACES It will be a pleasure to share the garden, patio, living room and terrace with our guests, as well as the parking lot. The GATE entrance to the villa is located along the road, next to the warehouses and greenhouses of the old headquarters of the family business, floriculturists for five generations, now specialised in the cultivation of orchids, 250 metres before. THE CLIMB From the gate, a private road climbs rapidly for 200 metres to the Villa, offering immediate relief from the heat during the summer season and surprises such as the deer leaping and an infinite sea of fireflies. PLANT Aromatic and fruit plants offer delights in every season of the year: olives, figs, prickly pears, grapes, strawberries, loquats, cherries, black cherries, lemons, citrons, pomegranates, persimmons, rosemary and sage, while edible flowers and wild herbs are the focus of specific courses. All around, tall trees offer shaded areas during the summer, give a spectacle of colours in autumn and attract beautiful migratory and resident birds from the nearby Entella Wildlife Oasis. OTHER PROPERTY The top floor and the back of the Villa are reserved for other properties. During your stay In the lounge there is a well-stocked INFORMATION DESK for excursions, where it will be a pleasure to offer every useful detail to get to know and appreciate the coast, the hinterland, art, history, gastronomy, crafts and events of our territory.
