>> Sorry, not available 2012 ........ Short drive to the beaches of the riviera. Our cottage is steeped in history and is said by locals to be linked to the 12th century castle via a secret tunnel!! It is built in a traditional Italian rustic style and enjoys the benefit of being within the picturesque, historic centre of the hilltop village of Trisobbio. The village is located in the beautiful castle region, famous for its wine and truffles and boasts a panoramic view of castles against the backdrop of the Alps. The thick stone walls, arches and wooden beams combine to give this cottage a wonderful sense of history and character. From the long iron-work feature balcony than runs around the entire house frontage you can sit out in the sun and look down into the pretty historic streets, or quietly read. To the rear, with views of the adjacent castle and park, is a sunny area with trees and flowers. Here can be found a small private courtyard with bench and roses which makes an ideal retreat for a quiet breakfast coffee of an evening glass of wine. The cottage is well furnished and has a fully equipped kitchen for those who would like to cook Italian in Italy! The spacious bedrooms easily accommodate 4 people, however the cottage offers flexibility for up to 6 with a double sofa bed. Local amenities include restaurants, shops, bars, a tourist office and a sports centre comprising of three swimming pools (5 mins away), tennis courts and childrens play area. Mountain bike hire is also available from the centre.
