Idyllic hideaway

Idyllic place in the forest, overlooking the hills above Finale Ligure. We stayed in the chalet which is such a warm and unique place with an amazing terrace and view. Breakfast was prepared in a big basket with a huge choice of food, including delicious home-made bread, focaccia and biscuits. The hosts are very friendly and are taking great care. Highly recommended if you are looking for a quiet space in nature!

Bruno e Susanna sono stati gentilissimi e hanno reso il nostro soggiorno molto piacevole. La camera "bislacca" è confortevole e funzionale. suggerirei solo di cambiare la base del letto che era un po' rumorosa. La colazione è abbondantissima e varia, con prodotti da forno dolci e salati preparati da Susanna. Ci sarebbe anche l'opportunità di utilizzare una piccola cucina nell'aera comune ma in questo momento particolare non è stato possibile. Consiglio il soggiorno !
