The North West Italy / Italian Riviera/Liguria region


Liguria is all year round holiday region. In winter it is blessed with a temperate climate , even on Christmas day you can have your lunch outside, springtime starts in February with hills covered with blossoming mimosa. Summers are mildly warm. It was “discovered” by the English one century ago. Many people spend winters in this area to get away from the cold and freezing weather of the North. Due to the climate there are lots of lemon and orange trees and flowers grow everywhere. Along the seaside numerous little towns and villages attract in summer lots of guests as the beaches are never ending and sandy. Ideal for families with children. Exquisite cuisine and local wines make your stroll in town a tempting adventure. Savour the local cuisine: trenette al pesto” and “violino di capra”, a goat ham as soft as a violin.
Loano, beautiful coloured houses; Borghetto once a small fishing harbour; Finale Ligure, a paradise for rock climbing; Ventimiglia Hanbury’s gardens; Genua, Nice, St. Tropez: a week is too short to savour the surroundings and if you are here in October-November visit Alba when truffles are harvested!
The Loano / Toirano area
Toirano is an enchanting medieval town, completely surrounded by town walls, with gates, loggias, bridges. It is well known to all Italians, due to the “Grotte” as in the calcareous mountainous area caves where discovered traces of human and animal life dating back to Neolithic times, 12,000 years ago. Some 50 rooms are open to the public and are a must .

Guestbook for Villa Carla
Hello Lucia,
everything at Casa Carla was great, the flat was very clean, Carla and her husband has given us a friendly reception.The price was ok.
If we come back to Liguria, we also ask for the vacance of this flat.
Have a god day

We loved your accommodation it was so spacious and with three daughters having three bathrooms was a big plus. The garden and pool area was great and we had great views over the mountains and surrounding are.
We loved Toriano and we would be keen to come back some time soon. Thanks for a great holiday.

Hi Lucia
We had a fabulous holiday. The Villa was perfect very spacious and well equipped.
We felt so relaxed and the children loved the pool, we hardly left the village.
Toirano village is a lovely place and we walked there most days for supplies or to take the children to the park.
We've sent the link for the Villa to lots of friends and would definitely love to come again.
Many thans

Villa Carla is a wonderful old olive oil mill. The house has a private entrance and courtyard, plus the pool, overlooking a stream. The house was immaculate and we had no issues at all. There is a little restaurant behind the house, as well as a tennis club with clay courts. The family-run restaurant has the usual great food and friendly service. We had a couple of meals there during our stay. This is a very good place from which to explore Liguria, Monte Carlo and the Riviera, as it is five minutes from the seacoast and very close to A10, which runs back into Genova and Cinque Terre and on to France. A few very good restaurants in Toirano's quaint town, which is a five minute walk from Villa Carla. The grottos at Toirano are worth the visit, as well. I highly recommend this property.

Hi Lucia,
I just wanted to let you know that we all had a lovely time in Toirano this summer. Our friends had never been to Italy before and they loved it, particulary the feast days. We rarely revisit an area we have been to but we have definite plans to visit Villa Carla again. We would particularly like to include the two feast weekends as we missed out on the Assumption.
Many thanks for all your help with our booking, the websites you sent were particualrly helpful. Hopefully I will be in touch again in the not too distant future!
