About this house rental
Casa Boru is a four-floored house set in the pretty, little village of Calice di Cornoviglio in Liguria, just over 20 km inland from La Spezia. The famous Cinque Terre are easily accessible, as are Tuscan beaches. Day trips to locations like Florence, Pisa and Siena are also a possibility.
The house itself was restored about ten years ago to a very high specification, and is decorated tastefully and elegantly. Much of the original stonework is still visible. The living room has a central fireplace and a balcony with uninterrupted dramatic views over the lush foothills of the Apennines.
On the floor below, you will find a truly unique stone walled dining room, and a fully equipped kitchen which even has its own indoor pizza oven and barbeque grill. A door leads out to the terrace, ideal for outdoor dining, and just below is a small garden perfect for relaxing in the Ligurian sun - and from here, you still have the views of the hills (as well as of Calice's own castle!)
The bedrooms are on the top two floors. Two double rooms with wood beamed ceilings share a modern shower room/toilet, and on the top floor under the roof is a large third double room with shower room. Note that this last room is open plan internally and to the rest of the house, but takes its privacy from being the only room on the top floor.
My wife and I live in Ireland, and have recently bought this house for our retirement in a few years. We fell in love with it as soon as we saw it, and I am sure you will too, should you choose to stay. Whether you want to use it as a base for exploration or simply to relax peacefully in the Italian countryside with local restaurants just a short drive (or a reasonable hike) away, Casa Boru is an idyllic spot.
