In a quiet hillside position, opposite the ancient hill village of Ameglia, this lovely cottage for two, with beautiful views both of the Magra estuary and of the Apuan marble mountains, has a swimming pool and furnished patio from which to survey it all. Approached up a narrow country lane, there is a delightful atmosphere of peace and quality here. This jewel of a retreat, dressed in stone and ivy, has just the right furnishings for a relaxing holiday.

Accommodation

Steps away from the panoramic pool, entrance to the cottage is through french doors into a sitting room whose white walls seem to expand the space and whose warm hardwood floors, fireplace and comfortable sofa add the welcoming touches one delights in finding in a home away from home. This room opens into an stylish well-equipped eat-in kitchen, which in turn leads out to a delightfully cool furnished pergola. Also on the ground floor is the bathroom with jacuzzi tub and separate shower. Stairs from the living area lead up to a double bedroom with a sweet upper terrace that is furnished with sunbeds and umbrella, just the place for that short afternoon snooze. While the mountain village views from this upper terrace are charming, those from the wooden decked pool are breathtaking, for the mountains are change their hue throughout the day.

Around Casa Guelfi

The owners, who live with two friendly labradors in the pink house below the pool, are out most of the time, but when they are at home they are charming hosts. The house is situated on the edge of the woods from where you can take lovely walks in an area of Roman remains. Ameglia has a 10th Century castle, picturesque houses, a bakery and a small grocery store. A 15 minute walk or short drive down the hill leads to Bocca della Magra, with the owners' restaurant on the edge of the esturary, where as well as fishing boats and beautiful yachts there are a sports centre, tennis, riding and good shopping. You can hire yachts or take boat trips from here to the Cinque Terre and Portofino.
