If you haven't experienced a villa holiday, then I have to say you're missing out! There's nothing better than having the freedom to go out when you want; stay in when you want, and relax as you would in your own home. However if you're going away as a couple rather than a family, it can often be difficult to find villas that sleep two, but I may have found the perfect pad on the Italian riviera.
Ameglia is an ancient village in the Italian region of Liguria, about ninety kilometres southeast of Genoa, and Casa Guelfi is in a quiet hillside position opposite the village. It has beautiful views, and a swimming pool and patio from which to marvel at the scenery.
On the ground floor, there is a sitting room; kitchen (which leads to a furnished pergola); and a bathroom with separate shower. Upstairs is a double bedroom with upper terrace, complete with sunbeds and umbrella - perfect for afternoon snoozes!
The owners live in a pink house below the pool which can be handy if you have any questions about the surrounding area. Speaking of which, the house is situated on the edge of woods. A five minute walk takes you to the village of Ameglia; a ten minute drive takes you to Bocca di Magra, where the owner's restaurant sits on the estuary overlooking the sailing boats in the small port.
In terms of getting there, Sarzana is about 15 minutes from the villa, while Genova, Pisa and Lucca are all about 40 minutes away. With so many airports nearby; this villa is in a quiet location but is also very accessible. It's sometimes hard to find villas with villages within walking distance; but here, you can either hide yourself away in this beautiful spot, or explore the local area - the choice is yours.
