Farmhouse from the 1600s with swimming pool in Vezzano Ligure, a characteristic medieval village on the border between Liguria and Tuscany, is located a few kilometers from La Spezia and the Cinque Terre area.
The farmhouse is immersed in a private 4-hectare estate, cultivated with olive trees and fruit trees, which can accommodate 2 owned horses and has a magnificent view over the valley.
The farmhouse has been recently renovated and transformed into a welcoming country house with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, swimming pool, private parking, free wi-fi internet connection, barbecue, wood-burning fireplace.
===== Outside =====
Guests will have at their disposal the Casale and the courtyard (patio) in front, equipped with teak table and chairs for outdoor dining, the barbecue.
Guests can use, in sharing with the owners and friends (if present) the private swimming pool with salt water (4 x 10 meters depth 1.30), sun loungers, the outdoor shower with hot water, the garden, the play area for the children.
The swimming pool is cleaned before the start of the stay. Daily cleaning is not foreseen.
Free parking inside the property -> Please note: since in the final stretch (about 100 meters) the road to access the Casale is a typical Ligurian road, therefore narrow and steep, there is the possibility of free public parking at about 250 meters from the Casale entrance.
