Villa Ortensia, Liguria
Property # 8512

Charming Villa with pool for 4 people on the border between Liguria and Tuscany close to the Cinque Terre.
Villa Ortensia lies on the border between Liguria and Tuscany, on a beautiful hill surrounded by chestnuts, olive trees and cherry trees.

The temperate microclimate, even in the colder months, its stone walls lightened from the sun’s rays from dawn to dusk, and on clear days a view spreading from the Apuan Alps across to the sea or simply the pleasant sensation of being in another world make Villa Ortensia a really unique place.

Originally an ancient rural mansion, the property has been completely restored and furnished by the landlady, who has given it a special personal touch. A warm atmosphere created by antique furniture and paintings wraps the entire home.

The house is on two floors.

On the ground-floor, the stone portal leads to the living area, with a pleasant country-style kitchen equipped with everything (dishwasher, fridge, american coffee maker), a 17th century conventual style dining room, a living room with a fireplace and comfortable sofas in perfect harmony with the colours of the terracotta and Tuscan grit pavement, and a bathroom with shower.

A sandstone staircase leads up to the first floor, where a warm parquet gives access to a bright double room with two windows opening onto a wonderful panorama (the beds can be split on request), the master bedroom with a romantic canopy bed, and a charming bathroom with tub.

The décor is of high-level and well trimmed in every detail – in addition to satellite TV, a CD stereo, a telephone and a mobile phone at the clients’ disposal, you will find hi-fi diffusion in every room, flanders linen bedcovers and sheets, and embroidered bathrobes and towels.

Outside, a large, completely equipped (sun umbrella, table, chairs and sun loungers) patio surrounded by olive trees and a romantic little terrace with Liberty table and chairs offer you complete relax.
Finally, the fine swimming pool (occasionally shared with the landlady) gives you the excellent opportunity of spending some hours in the sun surrounded by orchards and vegetable gardens.

At your arrival, Letizia will greet you with a warm welcome and a simple dinner lovingly prepared especially for you.
