Villa Chiara is a comfortable family summer home located just outside of the village of Ricco di Golfo in Liguria. The villa is on a 15 acre estate of vineyards and forests, in easy walking distance to the village. Ricco di Golfo is a 15 minute drive from La Spezia, and near the Cinque Terre towns. The Autostrada is a 10 minute drive from the villa, which makes it a convenient base for visiting towns like Pisa, Lucca, Florence, Portofino,etc.

Villa Chiara dates to the early 1900s, and the there are many antique furnishings, paintings, and memorabilia. It has the feel of a country farmhouse yet it is just behind the hills and sea of the CinqueTerre. Some of the hiking trails of the CinqueTerre park start about a mile away from the villa.

On the first floor is a comfortable living room with original ceiling frescoes from the early 1900's. Adjacent is a generous dining room that is connected to the kitchen, newly remodeled in 2001, with a gas oven, dishwasher, washing machine, refrigerator/freezer, microwave oven and American coffee maker. The view from the kitchen window is of the garden and vineyards. A door in the kitchen leads to a patio area in the garden for al fresco dining.

The bedrooms and bathrooms are on the second floor. All of the beds have new mattresses. One large double bedroom has furniture dating back to the Napoleonic era, and a small balcony facing the village and hills beyond. There are four other double bedrooms with lovely traditional furniture. One bedroom has bunk beds and is ideal for children. One of the bathrooms was redone in 2003.. One bathroom has a shower and the other has a bathtub with a hand shower and a window overlooking the vineyards.
Guests who come in September can participate in the grape harvest on the property. Villa Chiara is well located for touring Liguria and enjoying the Italian countryside. The owner is American so she can help you lots of local information. Upon request baby equipment can be arranged such as stroller, portable bed, car seat, etc. Cook and maid are also available.
