Villa Ortensia
Sarzana - Cinque Terre - Liguria
Villa Ortensia
Sarzana - Cinque Terre - Liguria
Comfortably sleeping four people, this old, converted farmhouse, lies on the border between eastern Liguria and northern Tuscany, just a stone’s throw from the Cinque Terre. It has been carefully restored and renovated, to incorporate all modern comforts, including a wonderful outdoor pool. The interior design is characterized by antique furnishings and decorative paintings, lovingly chosen by the owner, to remain in stylish keeping with the traditional architectural context.
Set in a privileged position on a hillside, surrounded by chestnut, cherry and olive trees, the villa affords superb views, which, on a clear day, embrace both the Apuan Alps inland and the shimmering waters of the Mediterranean.
This whole area enjoys a pleasant temperate micro-climate, while the villa itself boasts a suntrap location, basking in sunshine throughout the day. Its idyllically quiet seclusion will ensure that your stay really is out-of-this-world!
ACCOMMODATION:
Entrance to this meticulously maintained property is at ground-floor level from the stone porch, which issues into the dayrooms. Here the living-room features a working fireplace and comfortable sofas, whose colour-scheme harmoniously complements the traditional Tuscan stone and terracotta floors. 17th century-style furnishings grace the dining-room, while the fitted kitchen, of attractive rustic design, is fully equipped with all modern appliances (dishwasher; fridge; American coffee-maker). There is also a downstairs bathroom with shower.
Proceeding to the top floor, a sandstone staircase opens on to warm parquet flooring, which accesses the upstairs sleeping quarters, as follows: the master-bedroom, with a romantic canopied double bed; a second, bright double room (the beds can be separated, on request), with two windows looking out on to spectacular scenery; a lovely bathroom with bathtub.
Every room incorporates hi-fi diffusion, while Sat.TV; a CD-player; mobile phone; and Internet access are also available for use by guests.
High-quality Flanders’ linen sheets and bedcovers, as well as embroidered towels and bathrobes are likewise all provided.
Encircled by shady olive trees and fully appointed with sunshades, loungers and other garden furniture, the villa’s large patio makes an ideal venue for sunbathing or al fresco dining. A second, more intimate terrace, furnished with Art Nouveau-style tables and chairs, forms another perfect spot for outdoor relaxation. In addition to these, the warm waters of the enticing outdoor pool invite you to bathe at leisure – occasionally maybe in the company of the lovely owners – amid beautiful natural surroundings, bordered by orchards and vegetable gardens.
Letizia and her daughter, Francesca, who own this property, themselves reside in another 18th century villa only about 100 metres away. They are always happy to help out with advice and assistance, if required, while also fully respecting your privacy.
Villa Ortensia is located within easy reach of the area’s main sights of outstanding natural beauty or historic and artistic interest, such as the following: the medieval town of Sarzana (10 mins); the Cinque Terre villages; the Gulf of Poets; Portovenere; Portofino; the Apuan Alps and the white-marble quarries of Carrara (20 mins by car); the beaches of Versilia (30 mins by car); the famous Tuscan towns of Pisa (40 mins by car), Lucca (30 mins by car) and Florence (1 hour).
Many other unspoilt beaches dotted along the nearby coast can be accessed by car in about 15 mins.
Regular daily ferry services operate from the local ports of Lerici, La Spezia and Marina di Carrara (15 kms away) to the Gulf of Poets; Portovenere; the Cinque Terre villages; Portofino; and Genoa.
