A wonderful place to stay

Our hosts were incredibly kind and helpful. They took excellent care of us and answered all of our questions. We spent a rest day there and it was very relaxing. We booked one of the meals from the menu they offer for our first night there. It was better than any restaurant and sitting outside enjoying our meal was wonderful. All in all a great place to stay. Thank you Stefania and Pietro for taking such excellent care of us.

BEAUTIFUL HOUSE WITH BEAUTIFUL VIEWS

The house was gorgeously decorated and very clean! The views of the valley were peaceful and serene! We were a few minutes drive from a wonderful little grocery store that had milk, butter, fresh bread, and super fresh produce! It was truly an authentically Italian experience! Stefania was always available by text if we had a question. The house was great for 8 people and a 20 minute drive from La Spezia.

A Heavenly Retreat

We had the pleasure of staying at Villa Altar for a week this past June. We went with another couple and all found the villa beautiful and very comfortable. We especially liked the swimming pool and sitting area as well as as eating outside at the large comfortable table under the flowering arbor. The owner's family would even bring us fresh lettuce from their garden. Stefania, the owner, was very helpful and accommodating. She has decorated the villa artistically and yet comfortably. We found this to be a peaceful retreat. Cars are needed to visit the nearby towns and the train station in La Spezia, but once returning home each night we found the tranquility of being on top of the hill with splendid views rejuvenating. We would recommend this villa for those who what to get away from it all.

Dissapointing

The house is really ready for renovation. A lot is damaged or just old. Especially the kitchen. The gym does not work at all. Beside this there are several appartments attached to the house which are full of people. They have access to the garden of the house and make noise and have a dog who also walks in the garden.

Nice house with some specifics

The house itself is really amazing and also the landlord is very nice. In the second half of the house there lives a family that looks after the house - they are also friendly but have a dog. We were 2 families with 2 adults and 5 young children. We had a great stay there and really enjoyed our time. However there is some details that one should be aware of. The house is "ancient" that is ok and beautiful - but some details are not really well looked after. This holds true especially for the kitchen equipment (old dishwasher, old knives and pans), the outside barbecue was broken. Some tiles inside (living room) were loose and there were flickering lamps. What really annoyed us is the extra cost for electricity, water and towels (!) - this was xx EUR in total for 1 week (x water, y electricity, z linen including towels, sheets and pillowcases). For that price we could easily buy new towels and just throw them away ... And we are sure, we did not use water or electricity or towels excessively. From our point of view this simply does not fit to such an accommodation in this price range and has nothing to do with service orientation. One more thing to notice: there is a high-voltage power-line going across the street less than 100m from the house. This can not be seen on the pictures.

Parfait pour les vacances

Tout c'est très bien passé, la piscine est super agréable. Dans un cadre tranquille, agréable, il y fait ban d'y passer du temps. Merci pour l'accueil chaleureux et sympathique. Notre visite en été serait plus agréable si il y aurait des moustiquaires aux portes et fenêtres. Mais cela n'a rien de négatif pour notre séjour.

Wonderful family stay

This was the perfect property for our family stay—8 adults & a 3 & 1 year old. The kitchen is a little small for group cooking but had everything we needed and we loved the option of eating inside or outside. It was very hot during our stay and the pool was a life saver. It would have been good if someone stopped by to check pool chemicals as it did start turning by the end of our stay. No A/C so you need to master the shutters to keep the rooms cooler. Loved having a washer. Groceries are a reasonable distance. House is tucked in on the hillside so it was tough to find when we arrived but it is a stunning location. Be sure to drive up the hill to see the views. It was easy to get taxis to the house. Stefania was great with communication. Thank you for a beautiful stay.

Nice Villa

We had excellent communication and the hostess was very nice and helpful. The person who met us at the villa was in a hurry and we did not get a good run down of the property. The location was good and beds were comfortable. We had 8 adults and all were comfortable in the accommodations.

A VACATION IN PARADISE

After booking this amazing villa hidden in the little village of Bolano, just seven miles from LaSpezia, we never expected what we found. From the second we got to the electric gate and rang the bell to viewing the beautifully dressed Stefania Bocchia, the property owner, we were amazed. Clean, well furnished and the pool which was intended for the children proved to be the hidden gem. We spent every night in the Gazebo and pool area drinking Limoncello, wine and other spirits while munching on Parmegiana cheese, breads, olives and fruit. The panoramic view of the mountains surrounding the Villa are breath taking. We traveled each day to La Spezia where we caught the trains to the Cinque Terra towns. Stefania was most helpful recommending outstanding restaurants, the last of which was in the medieval village of Bolano at the top of the mountain. It was a throw back in time but the ambience and food were terrific. Anyone in their right mind should go to this paradise in Bolano and meet the gracious, beautiful and amazing Stefania. Grazie Tante! Jerry Silecchia and family (all nine of us)

Luxury and peace in the hills

Villa Altar is in the peaceful hills bordering Tuscany and Liguria, and only twenty minutes drive from the big port of La Spezia, the gateway to the Cinque Terre. The villa itself is like something from a luxury photo shoot - lovely pool, surrounded by olive trees, with a gazebo for evening drinks and relaxing. On one side is the coast and on the other, the most beautiful rolling hills and sunsets. Inside the house, everything is clean and cool. And there's a wonderful outside eating area with BBQ and lighting. Stefania, the host, is utterly charming and helpful, and will tell you all you need to know about the area. Note: if you're not from Italy, the recycling takes getting used to. It's much more thorough than in the UK, which is a good thing, but read the instructions carefully or you'll be left with bags of stuff you don't know what to do with. Enjoy a wonderful stay. The pretty Cinque Terre with it's bright villages teetering on the rocky coast is on the doorstep, and it's ridiculously, brilliantly easy to get to by train. Swim off the harbour at Manarola - snorkel with the bright blue anchovies, and jump off the tall rock if you dare! I would say that PortoVenere is my favourite town, which isn't exactly in the Cinque Terre but close, and more 'everyday' with interesting streets and shops and fewer tourists. Lucca and Pisa are just an hour away, and Florence 1.5hrs. There is a lot to see, and if you like hiking or swimming, this is the place for you. Best things is, after a hard day's sightseeing, coming back to Villa Altar and watching the sunset with a glass of something delicious, listening to the cicadas until nightfall.

Vacanza da ricordare

Villa meravigliosa, collocata in un contesto geografico interessante (5 Terre, Portovenere, Lerici, La Spezia). Padrona di casa impeccabile, sia nell'ospitalità, che nei suggerimenti dati sul mio soggiorno. Fondamentale la pulizia della casa, arredamento della villa con un gusto elegante, e soprattutto un giardino meraviglioso, con una splendida piscina incastonata. La consiglio a tutti, sia per un soggiorno a due, come per un soggiorno con piu' persone. Da visitare assolutamente : 5 Terre, Lerici, Portovenere e la città di La Spezia. Villa raggiungibile facilmente dall'uscita dell'autostrada...che dire...ci tornero' !
