Our guest house is located just a few meters from this particular structure (a part of which you can still admire today). We are 12 km by car from Chiavari, but if you prefer to leave your car here, you can use the bus service—the stop is right in front of the house! Or you can reach the beaches of Chiavari, Lavagna, Cavi, Riva Trigoso, and Sestri Levante. From Chiavari, you can also conveniently visit Genoa “la Superba,” the stunning Cinque Terre, Portofino, and many other beautiful destinations. If you’d rather immerse yourself in the cool, peaceful woods of the park at the Aveto Regional Natural Park entrance, we’d be delighted to recommend beautiful excursions. We offer two mini-apartments: Il Fabbro: Accommodates four people (double bed and sofa bed), a spacious private bathroom with a large shower, and a kitchenette equipped with a fridge, sink, and stovetop. A coffee machine and security door are also provided. La Bottega: Accommodates two people, with a private bathroom with a shower and a small terrace, a breakfast area with a fridge, coffee machine, and microwave, a river-view terrace, and a security door. Part of our garden is available for guests to enjoy.

Claudia, Paolo, and their two Australian Shepherds, Fiamma and Maynard, warmly welcome you to their home! After a lifetime in the city, we made the decision to move to a quieter place, surrounded by nature, yet easily accessible. In 2020, with courage ,and a pinch of madness, we bought this house, which needed a complete renovation! Today, we are finally happy to open part of our home to guests!"

Borgonovo Ligure is a small village in the Municipality of Mezzanego and serves as the gateway to the Aveto Regional Natural Park. Until 2024, this was literally a gateway, as the state road required passage beneath a small arch (Voltino in Italian). Old photos reveal that this arch had stood there since the late 19th century, as the road to Parma was inaugurated in 1878. In our logo, we remember the image of that enchanted castle-like structure that guarded the crossroads at Borgonovo Ligure between the roads to Santo Stefano d'Aveto and the Bocco Pass.
