We had one of our best stays as a family of 6 at La Casatorre, it’s a great and wonderful place. The house is as described in other reviews, really even nicer as the pics, the kitchen is bigger than it seems, provided everything we needed and we used it a lot.
The pool is well sized and a true joy, we spent a lot of time in there. The area around the pool is huge and the whole place is really clean and well cared for.
If you are a lover of nature you can sit outside early in the mornings, enjoy the mountain view and just listen and smell.
We‘ve been there end of May, wich was not too hot but comfy, even when we had a little rain.
Booking and communication with Maria was really easy, talking to Laura and Ivalda, the housekeepers, was a joy and always nice and easy, too. They are great.
It’s always good to learn a bit of the language wherever you go, especially for this region as it is not heavy touristic but more authentic.
A car is almost a must as all the foodshops and supermarkets are about a 7 to 10mins drive away.
We highly recommend a trip to Bagnone, a lovely little medieval town.
Our famous trip was driving to Portovenere to see the sunset, and the town of course.
We totally enjoyed our stay, it was our first trip to Italy and definitely not our last. This place is a real oasis and we feel like just going back there immediately :-)
