    The Setting Is Just Perfect: Villa 180sqm,6 km From Beach, Private Pool, Gardens

    The elegance of this house is its comfortable simplicity. Not to forget the peaceful quiet at the property whenever you like: it's situated at 350 mt sea level in the bonny, quiet hills of Alassio - the famous tourist beach resort - far from us, only a ten-minute drive. It's a part of a private Borgo, closed in the property of an ancient castle. It comprises two country houses, one – Villa la Maclura - and the other, Villa la NiCChia. Please note that each house has its entrance, garden, pool, chill-out area, BBQ, and car parking. The Villa Maclura's pool will be open from April; only our guests will decide if they enjoy the cold water or only the sun! Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a lounge, and a large kitchen on three floors for the exclusive use of guests. A small apartment on the top floor of the house - villa la NiCChia - next door is only for us; we use it to welcome our guests and provide all the necessary assistance for a relaxing stay. The house, founded initially as a farmhouse, is now an elegant small mansion after a recent, complete and careful renovation: care in choosing the colours and accessories, furniture, recovering all original materials - terracotta floors, wooden beams at sight, stone, ancient staircase in slate (dating from the 9th century AD!), fireplace. Everything reminds us of the past, as our medieval tower, that the City of Alassio wanted as a symbol of the town.

    Beautiful property in the hills.
    The property is beautiful and the setting is stunning with amazing views out to sea. Be prepared for the 15 min drive up small mountain roads from Alassio, lots of blind corners and hair-pin bends which mean you don’t pop out for milk etc easily. The property manager is on site and is helpful if you need beach or shopping suggestions. The facilities at the property are good and our children (8,11,13) loved the pool. There is however a lot of concern from the property manager about noise around the pool area, which in the end left our children feeling uncomfortable. This was unfortunate and unexpected in a property marketed as family-friendly.

    Beautiful home, delightful hosts!
    We loved everything about our stay. The location is perfection. The space beautifully created; it is very clean and more than comfortable with beautiful views. The children spent hours in the pool and looking for lizards. The kitchen has everything you need. The beds were very comfortable. It’s a dream vacation home. We would have stayed longer if we could. Elisa and Ricardo were warm, caring, helpful. We would love to return.

    What a gem
    We were two families together with kids between 0 and 12 and we have a fantastic stay. The house, pool and the views are spectacular and was easily spacious for the eight if us. Elisa and Ricardo are wonderful hosts that really made us feel welcome and was so helpful with tips to restraints and the area and Elisa even helped us book a taxi one night. Wonderful people and a wonderful property. We’re coming back!

    Beautiful setting with excellent amenities. Exceptionally comfortable accommodations.
    Elisa and Riccardo are EXCELLENT hosts. They really made our stay in their lovely home special. We received a tour of the property including facinating historical background. Ricardo even helped us get the outdoor fire going for our grill! They were attentive to our needs but not at all intrusive. We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this property for your home away from home.

    Charming house in a beautiful setting
    We had a great week at La Maclura. Lovely Elisa was there to welcome us ( even though it was after midnight) and was on hand to offer information if we needed her . The house is charming, full of character and clean and well equipped. The pool and outdoor areas are pretty and well kept. We did some walking in the area, a snorkelling trip to an island and a trip to Menton and Monaco; and Alassio is a very busy little town with great shopping and beach fun. Highly recommended. Thankyou Elisa.

    Perfect location, very well kept, great owners
    We were three families (6 adults and 4 children between 3 and 9 years) and spent a week in July in Elisa and Ricardo´s wonderful house. We really enjoyed our holidays and had a great time. The house is renovated with love, all rooms are practically furnished. At the same time you can see that the owners have a lot of taste and take care of their house. It was possible to go hiking in the area around. The swimmingpool was bigger than expected, Ricardo was cleaning it every day. We enjoyed sitting on the terrace with a view and having our dinner there. There is a big barbecue we liked to use. You can spend a lot of time in the house and garden, but it is also very easy to go down to the beach or to the small village Moglio where you can find a baker and a very delicious trattoria. I could go on with saying a lot of good things about the location. It has been a perfect holiday for us families and I can highly recommend the place. Maybe we will come back ;)

    Relaxing Holiday in Beautiful Surroundings
    We stayed in the larger of the two houses, La Maclura, situated in the quiet hamlet of Vegliasco. Vegliasco is 2km from Moglio which has a shop, trattoria, bakery and bar. You can also catch the very reliable bus to Alassio from Moglio if you don't fancy the drive down the mountain yourself. It's a 10 minute drive to Alassio which has beach bars, restaurants and lots of shops. We were two families so the layout worked perfectly for us as the adults had the two double bedrooms and the children had the children's rooms up in the attic and on the lower ground floor. The views of Alassio and the sea are spectacular. Elisa and Ricardo were nearby and helped with restaurant bookings and tips on where to park in Alassio and locations of free beaches. They have created a beautiful home and gardens. The house was lovely inside with two terraces and an outdoor pool. We were lucky that the house next door was free during our second week and so we were able to use the outdoor kitchen and pizza oven that belongs to the neighbouring house, also owned by Elisa. This house is the perfect Italian retreat for a quiet and relaxing holiday.
