Other Details to Note

Below is some important information relating to the Villa that I kindly ask you to follow: 1) If there is strong wind or the beginning of rain, please pull up the electric awning. 2) For the safety of the house and yours, please close the green shutters of the living room and kitchen when you leave the Villa, the same thing when you go to sleep, they are very safe and help keep the Villa safe. 3) All the external lights come on automatically as the night gets dark, while at the entrance there is a lamp that will be on from 20.00 to 2.00am to allow you to enter the entrance and turn on the main lights.

Accessibility

Neighborhood

Guest access

VERY IMPORTANT: The roads in Liguria are not very wide furthermore "Villa degli Ulivi" can be reached from the provincial road that leads from Recco to La Spezia. From the center, travel for 1 km until you reach Piazzale Cile, enter Piazzale Cile, turn right and take the private road Via Privata Bastia. Halfway, the Villa welcomes you with a large entrance gate. Once past the main gate there is a climb with a tight curve on the right, you have to take it wide and then immediately tighten. For this reason I recommend renting medium-sized cars while cars too large like a Van could create problems. Better to have 2 medium-sized machines than one too large, the risk is that you cannot reach the villa and you have to park in the square immediately before the private road.

This place is wonderful. We had 5 adults and a toddler in our group and we all thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The views are incredible, the outdoor space is great, and the villa is very comfortable. Paolo went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing time. He is a gem. The villa is a 10-15 minute walk to town. If you have children, there is a nice playground in town that our little one really enjoyed. I definitely recommend staying here!

This is a magnificent and spacious villa where we felt very at home. It has all the comforts needed and the swimming pool in the beautiful garden is a big plus. Recco is such a great location with lovely people, good restaurants and many things to do. We liked that it was not overcrowded with tourists and had a great local feel. Paolo is a fantastic and responsive host who was available throughout our stay. He was very helpful in guiding us with advice and assisting with restaurant reservations, booking excursions and anything else we needed. We wish we had more time here and would therefore definitely want to return.
