Ideally located for exploring the Cinque Terre coast, Liguria and northern Tuscany. Dolinetta, part of an 8-hectare estate, is an idyllic cultivated basin hidden in the oak woods on a hill overlooking the sea that offers accommodation for 4 people. Next to our terraced Cabernet Franc vineyard you can enjoy our shared 10mx 3m pool with 4 sun loungers and a Balinese bed.
Dolinetta has a beautiful pergola shaded by vines. A table is located under the pergola while further on there are triple beds. The central room is accessed from both sides through large doors; there is a kitchen area in the back, on the right, with a dining table and chairs in front.On the left comfortable sofas punctuate the living area, with satellite TV on the wall.The bedroom on the right is a double, with a window on the front, and a private bathroom with shower on the back. The other bedroom mirrors the first and is a double, and also has a private bathroom with a shower in the back.
Dolinetta, and her sister Dolina, have recently been refurbished and converted, and both overlook a large lawn in front of the estate's vineyard. The two houses are separated by a Mediterranean scrub which guarantees privacy. The vineyard was planted on a tiny green plain that characterizes this limestone landscape. The surrounding woods were once all cultivated and are intertwined with beautiful dry limestone walls, so dense that they form elevated paths.We have carefully restored these old walls and reintroduced crops, carefully chosen to suit the landscape and situation.You will find fruit trees scattered around the older oaks and pines and small fenced fields of vegetable gardens, artichoke plants or potatoes. The houses have also received a new green life and are self-sufficient for both electricity and hot water, making this a very eco-friendly place to stay.
We produce an organic red wine called 'Margot'.Very fast Starlink WiFi, ideal for remote working.
Central heating is available but not included in winter. One meter will determine the cost (€ 5 per m3). Alternatively, a lump sum can be quoted.

It is in an ideal position for exploring the hill villages and coast of the Cinque Terre, Liguria and Northern Tuscany.
Set in a Natural Park that is mainly made up of typical Mediterranean woods of umbrella pines, helms and Turkish oaks, woven with paths, and bordering the beautiful and steep coastline of Southern Liguria. It is ideally set for exploring the small villages on the coast, with delicious fish restaurants and hidden coves from which to swim.
The Cinque Terre are easily reachable, with miles of walking paths on the craggy coastline, punctuated by villages clinging to the edge of the coast, with steep vineyards where the grapes are collected in mini-funicular train arrangements.
Alternatively you might head east, towards the Apennines and the Apuan Alps, made of the famous Carrara marble so loved by Michelangelo. Deep valleys hold traces of the Romans and of the ancient indigenous population called the Lunis. The mountains also harbour delicious restaurants and charming villages worth exploring.
The classic cities of Tuscany are also not far away, with Pisa and Lucca around an hour away, while Florence is just under 2 hours.
