Villa Sasseta occupies a truly idyllic situation, nestled deep within the Ligurian green hills behind the famous Cinque Terre, near the border of Tuscany, with stunning views across the lush and dramatic countryside. The villa offers a real escape from it all, with total privacy and seclusion on offer. It’s the perfect place to unwind and relax after days spent walking or cycling around the scenic immediate area.

The views from the extensive outside space are simply breathtaking, with nothing but trees and hills for miles. But it’s also easy to go out and enjoy an evening meal, with the closest restaurant being just a 10-minute drive away.

Villa Sasseta features a beautiful blend of traditional charm and contemporary style. An abundance of wood furnishings and features creates a sense of warmth, with modern facilities ensuring your complete comfort. Two independent buildings offer flexible accommodation.

The first home can accommodate up to six people across three double bedrooms. Three beautiful bathrooms are on offer also. The ground floor open-plan living/dining/kitchen space is great for socialising and unwinding after a long day exploring the area.

The second house accommodates up to 10 people across five double bedrooms including a sofa-bed. There are three bathrooms in total also, meaning no arguments over who gets to go in first in the mornings! Spend evenings chatting and watching television in the bright and airy living/dining/kitchen area as dinner cooks.

There’s plenty of space to relax and soak up the views and dine al fresco outside, with several seating and dining areas on offer. The most attractive is a shaded, pergola area with plenty of seating and a built-in barbecue. The rolling, lawned gardens are home to a large, private swimming pool with sun loungers and an outdoor shower.

Drive around 35km to coastal Levanto or a little further the Cinque Terre village of Monterosso al Mare to enjoy a day out on the beach. Levanto is also a great base for exploring all five of the Cinque Terre seaside villages, either by train or on foot.

Alternatively, head to the historic town of La Spezia and catch the train from there. The Cinque Terre are ruggedly-beautiful villages that are dotted with colourful houses and charm with their authentic, fishing-community atmosphere.

Country walks are on your doorstep when you enjoy a stay at Villa Sasseta. Wherever you explore, you’ll get to take in spectacular hill and valley views along the way. Despite the villa’s secluded and rural location, there are amenities within easy reach. An osteria/restaurant is just a 10-minute drive away, as is a grocery store in a small village nearby.

The closest town to Villa Sasseta is Brugnato (14km). Here you’ll find a great range of restaurants, shops, supermarkets and banks.

The famous Cinque Terre is around an hour’s drive from the villa. This series of five seaside villages are characterised by their traditional fishing atmosphere and the colourful houses that perch precariously on cliff edges and hillsides. Monterosso al Mare (43km) is the nearest village to reach from the villa and has a sandy beach and numerous wine shops to its name. Corniglia sits on a rocky promontory and is where you can take in views of all five villages. Visit Riomaggiore to stroll around its beautiful botanical garden and bird-watching centre.

As well as the Cinque Terre village of Monterosso al Mare featuring a lovely beach, the town of Levanto (35km) has a long stretch of its own. The sand gently slopes into the water, making the beach very family-friendly and safe for everyone to enjoy a swim. You can also hire sun loungers and simply relax and take in the sounds of the sea. The town of Bonassola is just 3km from Levanto, so why not hire some bikes and cycle along scenic paths to reach it.

La Spezia (45km) has a picturesque waterfront area and plenty of historical sites to visit, including 13th-century San Giorgio Castle. You can also easily reach several towns in northern Tuscany from Villa Sasseta, such as Massa (60km) and Carrara (57km), with the latter famous for its marble production. Even Viareggio, Lucca and Pisa can be reached in just over an hour.

Nestled along the ruggedly beautiful Italian Riviera, Cinque Terre is a collection of five picturesque coastal villages that have become synonymous with charm, character, and an unparalleled sense of natural beauty. Each of these villages, Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore, is a jewel in its own right, with unique attractions and offerings that collectively make Cinque Terre an enchanting destination.

Reviews

  • Beautiful

    on 14/05/2023

    Location and villa are very beautiful.

  • Perfect option for being close to nature

    on 18/08/2022

    We enjoyed our stay. Beautiful house, pool, and view! But very remote. If you appreciate privacy and being close to nature, this is a perfect option!

  • Superb

    on 06/08/2022

    Superb villa with a large pool and lawn. Barbecue and stone oven available. Equipment is also top-notch. A bit isolated, so very quiet.

  • Beautiful house in the countryside

    on 30/07/2022

    Beautiful house in the countryside. We were 4 families (8 adults, 9 children) there spending a wonderful week on vacation. Remote location very quiet with a wide and deep view. Perfect for relaxing. Super friendly people in Zignago village and Brugnato city for grocery shopping. 45 minutes to Cinque Terre.
