About this apartment rental
Our family's beloved apartment - part of what was once a castle - is recently refurbished with fresh paint and new furnishings. It has two bedrooms, a large and welcoming kitchen/living room, one bath, and our favorite space, the outdoor patio with a beautiful view of the Apuan Alps. Our patio is unique in our neighborhood, as it was once the base of a tower. This outdoor space has an awning for comfortable dining outside at any time of day. With high ceilings and thick stone walls, this apartment has a feeling of ageless serenity. Not a tourist neighborhood, this is an Italian village, where one is surrounded by Italian life.
Cleaning & other feesWe include all stay related fees in the Cleaning Fee line, which may include cleaning, property manager, resort, tourism and other stay related fees. All Vrbo properties are professionally cleaned after each stay.

This part of Italy 🇮🇹 is lovely! The property owner was very helpful.
The apartment is a genuine part of an old castle. Not a touristy place. Just a genuine old fashioned apartment. It’s very basic.

We enjoyed our 5-night stay at this 2-bedroom property in the quiet charming small Medieval village of Soliera. The village is not a tourist town but an authentic little Italian village with cobblestone lanes and friendly people. The house is party of a 13th century castle, is comfortably furnished and has a great patio built atop a turret, that looks out at the lush green hills and houses of area in the foreground, and the Italian Alps in the background. WE took our meals at the dining table out there when home. There were three of us, girl friends in our 60s. We were there in mid-September and the weather was perfect. Not far from La Spezia, where you can catch a train to the 5 villages of beautiful Cinque Terra on the Ligurian Coast.

This place was wonderful, particularly if you want to relax and not be in a tourist rat race to see everything in Italy. This place is a bit off the tourist route, not many locals spoke English even though we easily got by with what little we know. The house is very comfy and the view out the windows and on the balcony is spectacular. We found we had no need to go anywhere but back and forth to the kitchen to refill our wine glasses and get more cheese! The local village (Soliera / Rometta) was very picturesque, very old and just like a postcard. The local hills are filled with little mom and pop restaurants that served delicious food every bit as good as the more fancy (and expensive) restaurants in town. Just taking a evening drive into the surrounding hills was a joy, but be warned, the roads are very narrow, steep and windy. Aulla is about 6-7 miles away and it had every amenity we could want and then some, but the local stores had a great supply of the essentials...wine , cheese, crackers salami, and great fresh bread! The kitchen is well equipped to cook up a storm, the neighbors were friendly and helpful. It was a easy one hour train trip to Cinque Terra or into the local mountains. The train station is about 1/2 mile away with free parking. Bring a good book(s) and relax, the place is divine,..... and don't miss a sunset on the balcony!

I used to visit a family home just a few doors up from this location. So I was quite familiar with the spectacular views. The apartment is well laid out and has most conveniences. We found it very useful visiting a pile of nearby places by car. Could have done with some milk in the fridge though.

Fantastic!
Fantastic!
The apartment was clean and well-maintained. It is a mixture of rustic architecture and modern conveniences. The good wifi reception was appreciated. It was fantastic to wake up every morning, sit on the balcony and have breakfast while admiring the view of the mountains. The evenings aspect of the scenery was totally different to the mornings as we sat eating our evening meals watching the colours of the mountains change with the setting sun.
We were met by Mirjam who welcomed us to the village and showed us around the apartment. She was in touch with us during our stay, making sure that everything was OK.
We are already planning our next trip and hope that we can stay in the apartment again. We would recommend this as a great place to stay.

An apartment created from an old castle. It has everything that you would need in a home. We were able to cook and relax and enjoy the stunning view. The location seems remote but was an easy access to all the attractions that one would want to visit. Mirjam was very helpful and friendly. Look for the Spring water dispenser at the parking lot where Mirjam first meets you. 5 cents a liter and delicious. I look forward to staying there again.

We just returned from our two week memorable stay in Soliera Village. The balcony had a view that one dreams about. The apartment was very accommodating We used it as home base to travel to such places as Cinque Terra, fishing villages of Lerici and Levanto, Parma, Florence and castles in Fosdinova and Pontremoli.

My daughter and I recently stayed here and were delighted with the house.It has spectacular views from the patio/balcony, and the inside is decorated super nice. It is very thoughtful, and has everything you need for a home away from home.It is what I imagined an Italian house would be like .The price is a great bargain. There are several open air markets a short drive away.WE went to them all and bought local cheese meat and produce and prepared memorable dinners in the over the top kitchen.MY favorite part of my stay in Europe was snorkeling in the little village of Riomaggiore. We made several day trips to cinque terre and it is only a short drive . I would definitely stay there again .

prachtig huis op mooie locatie
prachtig huis op mooie locatie
Ik heb deze vakantiewoning eind maart 2015 bezocht met 2 vriendinnen. Het bleek de perfecte uitvalsbasis. Om lekker de hele dag te genieten van de zon op het grote balkon met prachtig wijds uitzicht. Om heerlijk te eten en te drinken in de buurt. En om de prachtige omgeving te ontdekken. Zo hebben we bijvoorbeeld een dagje in Pisa doorgebracht en hebben we de besneeuwde bergtoppen van het Cerreto bewonderd. Ook zit je niet ver van zee en hebben we een fijn dagje aan het water gehad in Portovenere.
Het huis zelf is groot, comfortabel en gezellig. Het staat in een prachtig oud dorpje en de dikke stenen muren houden in de zomer de warmte goed buiten. Je komt binnen in een ruime hal met aan je linkerhand de eerste, ruime, 2 persoons slaapkamer. En aan je rechterhand een hele nette, nieuwe badkamer met douche en toilet. Vanuit de hal kom je in een gezellige woonkamer met bank en buro, waar je aan je linkerhand de 2e 2 persoonskamer hebt zitten. Deze is even ruim als de eerste. Aan je rechterhand zit de grote woonkeuken met eettafel en bank en de openslaande deuren naar het balkon. De keuken is van alle gemakken voorzien. Je kunt zelfs een wasje draaien als je niet voldoende schone kleren meer hebt! Wij hebben de meeste tijd door gebracht in de keuken en op het balkon als we in het huis waren.
De gastvrouw spreekt perfect Nederlands, Italiaans en Engels en helpt je prima op weg met een uitgebreid gastenboek dat in het huisje aanwezig is. Ze vertelt je alles over het huis en wat er in de buurt te doen is. Ook voorziet ze je van plattegronden en praktische tips.
Ik heb een heerlijke vakantie gehad en zal zeker nog eens terugkeren naar deze vakantiewoning!

Very nice, clean and complet appartment with a beautiful view
In March we stayed for a week in this lovely apartment.
The apartment is quite large, very clean and has more then enough space. The kitchen is the central place of the house en is very complete. The appartement has a very nice traditional Tuscany atmosphere.
We especially loved it to have breakfast outside at the large and sunny terrace/ patio. It has such a nice view!
In less than half an hour you'll reach the hills of Cerreto for a beautiful hike or walk. On your way to Cerreto you'll cross a restaurant "Funicolare" were you can have an excellent lunch! And in less than a 45 minute drive you'll be a at the Cinque Terre. So the appartment if very well placed in a nice small typical Italian village.
We had a lovely time and will be back next spring!

L'appartamento è situato in posizione strategica per visitare una zona ancora poco conosciuta ma splendida della Toscana e per le escursioni sui sentieri delle Alpi Apuane. La casa è fresca, pulita e dotata di tutto quanto necessario (ottima la dotazione della cucina). Il balcone gode di una vista splendida sulle Apuane e consente di mangiare all'aperto. Facili e gradevoli Il check-in e out grazie alla simpatia e professionalità della persona incaricata.
Siamo, insomma, rimasti molto soddisfatti.

Ci siamo trovate bene. La casa è molto silenziosa, calda ed accogliente. La vista sulle Apuane è impagabile.
Casa pulita, ben tenuta, c'è tutto il necessario. Contesto caratteristico e molto rilassante. Terrazzo molto bello e spazioso con vista notevole. La Sig.ra che ci ha accolto è stata molto gentile e ci ha dato tutte le indicazioni necessarie. La posizione è favorevole sia per visitare le cinque terre e la versilia, sia per passeggiate in montagna o visita alle terme. Consigliato.

We hebben 2 heerlijke weken gehad in dit zeer compleet ingerichte huis dat is gelegen in een kasteel muur. Een heerlijk groot terras aan de voorzijde met een geweldig uitzicht. Vanuit Soliera is de omgeving perfect te verkennen, alles is op relatief korte afstand te bereiken. Zwemmen is ook mogelijk in een nabij gelegen riviertje of een betaald zwembad een paar minuten verderop. In het dorpje zelf kun je 's morgens brood kopen, alles op loop afstand. Bij aankomst werden we vriendelijk ontvangen door Mirjam die reeds een drankje en een snack had klaar staan voor ons! Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar, een echte aanrader!!!

Geschmackvolle Wohnung in ruhiger Lage
Geschmackvolle Wohnung in ruhiger Lage
Die Wohnung ist großzügig, geschmackvoll und doch persönlich eingerichtet. Sie bietet viel Platz, so dass auch sechs Personen sich nicht in die Quere kommen. Bei einer solchen Belegung wäre lediglich das eine und recht kleine Bad von Nachteil.
Wir waren zu zweit und haben die Ruhe sehr genossen; ebenso die herrliche Terrasse mit ihrem wunderbaren Ausblick, den man bei schlechtem Wetter auch von der groĂźen KĂĽche aus genieĂźen kann. Die KĂĽche bietet alles, was man braucht, sogar zwei(!) SpĂĽlen und ein gemĂĽtliches Sofa. Als sehr angenehm empfanden wir, wie sauber und gepflegt alles gehalten ist.
Der Empfang durch Mirjam war sehr freundlich. Wir haben uns mit ihr in Rometta, einem nahe gelegenen Dorf getroffen, von wo aus sie uns nach Soliera geführt hat. Dort warteten bereits leckere Speisen und Getränke auf uns, so dass wir nicht gleich einkaufen gehen mussten.
Im Dorf findet man zwei kleine Lebensmittelläden und eine Bar; in Rometta gibt es eine Mineralwasser"quelle", wo man für ein paar Cent gekühltes und bei Bedarf auch mit Kohlensäure versetztes Wasser abzapfen kann. Das Wasser - auch das aus der Leitung im Haus - ist übrigens ausgesprochen wohlschmeckend.
Soliera bietet einen guten Standort um Ausflüge nach SW zu den Cinque Terre zu machen (Das Auto lässt man dann am besten in La Spezia und kauft sich am Bahnhof eine Tageskarte für die CinqueTerre, mit der man zwischen La Spezia und Levanto mit dem Zug in alle Richtungen fahren und auch die Wanderwege benutzen kann). Sehr schön ist es auch, einfach mal mit dem Auto ins Blaue zu fahren - wir gerieten dabei zu dem hübschen Ort Fosdinovo und seiner mittelalterlichen Burg.
Eine Stunde Fahrtzeit braucht man, wenn man die Bergstraße hoch nach Ceretto Laghi fährt in den schönen Parco Nazionale dell' Appennino Tosco Emiliano. Dort kann man verschiedene Wanderwege begehen und sollte sich wärmere Kleidung mitnehmen - wir erlebten jedenfalls einen Temperaturunterschied von 10°C, aber dafür auch wunderbar klare, leichte Luft.
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können den Aufenthalt in dieser Gegend und in dieser Ferienwohnung sehr empfehlen!

Karakteristiek appartement, sfeervol ingericht, mooi uitzicht en groot terras
We (twee volwassenen met twee pubers) hebben een prima week doorgebracht in dit sfeervolle, ruime, schone, goed ingerichte appartement. Het appartement ligt in een klein dorpje op een heuvel. Het uitzicht is daardoor mooi. Veel zon op het ruime terras, met gelukkig een groot zonnescherm. Wifi werkt goed. In de buurt is veel te doen. Een openbaar zwembad op 5 minuten rijden. Verschillende leuke pittoreske dorpjes (Fosdinovo, Fivizzano, Lerici, etc.) op 15-45 minuten rijden. Ook de zee is niet ver weg. In de woning ligt een map met veel informatie en ook de (Nederlandssprekende) eigenaresse gaf de nodige tips.
