Maison de Charme Giulietta

Localisation exceptionnelle, proche des villages touristiques mais loin des masses de touristes. Une vue splendide sur la mer et les petits villages de montagne. La maison ancienne est très bien restaurée et décorée avec beaucoup de goût, très authentique.

La piscine mal entretenue (eau verte et trouble), accès piéton uniquement, pas de parking (il faut se garer plus loin dans un tournant d’une route), eau non potable.

Le calme et la vue de la maison

Le jardin qui n'était pas propre ainsi que la piscine.

Maison de Charme Giulietta is the very definition of rustic charm. The location is exquisite with day and night views out to sea that are simply magical. The pool gives a chance to relax and take in the countryside. The local wildlife is incredible, with wild pigs and fireflies being spotted on our stay. The kitchen is well stocked and I already miss the coffee (google how to use a Moka pot if you're not familiar and you'll have the best coffee overlooking the secluded sea in the mornings). The location is a good distance from the motorway (SP) and we drove to Genoa for a day (1hr20) and drove to Pisa another day (1hr25). The supermarkets in Levanto (20min drive) are well stocked (especially for a coeliac, the Conad has a really good Gluten-Free section with Gluten-Free Foccacia and pie). If you're self catering you'll find the kitchen very very well stocked and a selection of herbs growing just outside the kitchen door. The owner is knowledable and very helpful and has help locally who were also great and friendly. The house is 200 years old and has managed to maintain it's original history (fascinatingly documented with the pictures on the wall) whilst having been restored to maintain the authenticity of the area whilst offering modern unobtrusive facilities.

There is nothing more that we could reasonably ask from this location that wouldn't have sacrificed the beauty of the place. If you're taking kids (mine are two and four and the four year old loved the bunk beds) you have to supervise them at all times (pool, stairs, slopes) but this isn't different to anywhere else at this age.

The view is truly incredible, that is really the main strength of the house. This is also not too far from 5 terre. Kitchen is well equipped.

The house is quite old fashioned and we would have appreciated something more comfortable; it’s very humid and the beds really need to be changed. There is no proper parking space and we had to park in turns, which is quite dangerous especially people are driving very fast. High potential, this house would overall deserve a proper refurbishment to be amazing.
