About this house rental
Casa Lesina, a traditional Ligurian country house located in Castellaro, is in an enviable mid-hill position, overlooking the Val Fontanabuona from where it dominates the valley, immersed in the green of the surrounding woods rich in local fauna and flora and surrounded by vegetable gardens, olive groves and orchards.
Comfortable and silent, it can be reached by a comfortable asphalted municipal road just 2 km away from the hamlet of Calvari below, where there are shops, banks, post office, restaurants and pizzerias.
The apartment is located on the top floor of the house and can accommodate 4/6 people. We rent for minimum stays of 7 days; for a number of guests less than 4 and for periods of less than one week of stay we reserve the confirmation of availability (see section Rates & Availability / Notes).
The rooms are two, both with double bed, large and bright and a sofa bed is available for two other guests.
Lots of equipped outdoor space, all around the house.
The kitchen is large and equipped,
The bathroom has a shower and washing machine, a large table, television and comfortable sofa in the dining / living room.
A third bedroom is under construction and will be available shortly.
Excellent and free WiFi connection.
Private covered parking space reserved for guests.
It is an excellent base for various excursions: 15 km from the most beautiful beaches of the Ligurian Riviera di Levante and close to the splendid seaside towns of Portofino, Santa Margherita Ligure, Camogli, Sestri Levante and the magnificent 5 Terre.
Genoa provincial capital, can be easily reached both by car and by bus.
Paths start from Casa Lesina to Mount Ramaceto, the Aveto Park, the Agoraie Nature Reserve and connect to the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri.
For walkers there are trekking possibilities for all needs as well as for mountain bike cyclists who can choose between routes of varying difficulty on the paths of the hills and the easier route of the "Ardesia Cycle Route" which unfolds flat along the banks of the Lavagna stream, crossing the pleasant villages of the Val Fontanabuona, up to the mouth of the Entella in the center of the Gulf of Tigullio, between the renowned towns of Chiavari and Lavagna.
In addition, in the nearby Calvari airfield it is possible to practice paragliding, hang gliding and other light aircraft.
In the surrounding municipalities there are small but interesting museums on culture, peasant craftsmanship and local archeology, we mention a few:
Archaeological Museum of Fontanabuona - at the seat of the municipality of Cicagna;
Peasant Museum in Calvari;
Damascus and history of the territory museum in Lorsica;
"Casa Giannini" Emigrant Museum in Favale di Malvaro;
Musel - Integrated museum system of Sestri Levante and Castiglione Chiavarese, two exhibition centers, designed to offer the visitor a rich and articulated narration of the history of the Tigullio territory and the Sestri Levante valleys.
Weekly farmers organize markets for the direct sale of their typical agricultural products.

It is a very clean and lovingly furnished holiday flat in which nothing is missing. The landlords are extremely nice, always helpful and happy to give good tips. The house is in a very quiet, beautiful location. From the garden you can see far into the countryside. Preparing pesto together was great fun. The accommodation is highly recommended. We felt very comfortable and would like to thank Stefano and Sofia for the wonderful time in their little paradise.

Perfect place - the house was beautiful and very clean. The owner is very friendly and open minded and very helpful for planning of local trips. Driving the road to the house might be a little bit challenging when driving a big car.
Overall a great time in great place.

Lovely upper floor of a house with a large garden and a great view. Incredibly friendly and helpful hosts, we were amazed by the hospitality. We had fresh produce from the garden and Stefano & Sofia were incredibly helpful and friendly. Great communication. We had a wonderful week here.
5.0 / 10.0·Jun 2016
Dit huis is heel erg sfeervol en charmant. Met zorg ingericht met zowel oude spullen als moderne spullen. Wij hebben niets gemist. De ontvangst door de eigenaar was zeer hartelijk. Stefano is heel aardig en behulpzaam. Hij vertelde ons waar we mooie wandelingen konden maken en leende ons een goede wandelkaart. We kregen regelmatig groenten uit zijn moestuin waar hij vaak 's avonds kwam werken.Er wonen nog andere mensen in het gebouw, maar daar merk je niets van. Elke verdieping heeft een eigen buitenruimte. Wij hebben vaak op het terras gegeten.Het huis ligt behoorlijk afgelegen, vanaf de hoofdweg circa 10 minuten de berg op rijden. Wij vonden dat erg leuk, maar misschien geldt dat niet voor iedereen. Op ongeveer 20 minuten rijden is een hele grote supermarkt die alle dagen open is, heel handig. Op ruim een half uur rijden ben je bij een station van waaruit je bijvoorbeeld naar Genua kan. In de heuvels kun je hele mooie wandelingen maken en het is een rustig gebied. Het verblijf is ons goed bevallen en we kunnen het zeker aanraden.
