Casa Bianca is part of a wine and olive oil estate which has been lovingly restored and refurbished by its owners. Casa Bianca now offers 4 double bedrooms, three bathrooms, a large sitting room with a log fire (olive logs provided) making 180 square meters and sleeping max 9 people. Casa Bianca's cool and light internal space is set in gentle Olive Groves with our vineyards below the house, and vegetable gardens and fruit trees all around, with jasmine, mimosa, roses and masses of wild flowers all in their season.
Off the fully modernized kitchen is a terrace for al fresco dining and in front of the house a vine/wiseria-covered shady pergola with dining table where you can admire this tranquil old olive grove and the pine and chestnut woods (we will give you FREE some of our wine and oil) to help you unwind after a long day at the beach or walking the Cinque Terre or shopping in Chiavari Market for antiques or the superb local specialty food shops.
Also near is Santa Margherita, a very smart resort with famous fish market and yacht marina, Rapallo a quaint old seaside town, and Zoagli where the sea laps the traffic-free town square. Sestri Levante is 5 kms the other way, an elegant old village on the sea with the romantic sandy Bay of Silence one side and the long promenade on the Bay of Tigullio on the other. Or stay in Chiavari and walk along the promenade with its gardens and fountains and safe and clean gravel and rock beaches where the sea swimming is easy, clean and safe. or admire the marina, sit in a seaside bar and watch the sun set behind Portofino mountain.
Genoa is 40 kms west where you can explore the world famous Aquarium, the ancient noble palaces and art galleries, visit the theatre and shops. Florence and Pisa and Lucca are a few hours away by car and can be explored in a day trip from Chiavari. There is so much to do and see that a week here is not enough but you can do what many of our guests do - come back again!
