This is by far one of the nicest vacation properties we've ever stayed at, both in the US and abroad. Alberto has personally renovated a tiny village in the hills overlooking Lavagna and made it into a vacationers paradise. Wisely, he has retained the charm of the original structures while adding the convenience of a modern home for his guests. Alberto also grows olives, grapes,and some other fruit/veg which he graciously offered us on a near daily basis. I have to say, and I'm not even exaggerating...he makes the BEST olive oil I have ever tasted! As for amenities, this place has everything one could need; good quality WiFi, thoughtfully stocked kitchen, quality beds and bedding, brand new bathrooms with high end fixtures, and an awesome sitting area overlooking Lavagna and the sea. Sitting outside and having dinner with a great glass of Alberto's wine was one of my favorite memories of our Italy trip. I should also mention the beautiful grounds of La Torre del Borgo. It's a paradise on earth and a very relaxing place to chill out. Everywhere you look you see olive trees, grape vines, cherry trees, beautiful hillside vistas, and of course, the sea. Take a leisurely stroll on the grounds or just sit back on a lounger and enjoy the view. There's nothing better. Would definitely recommend this place. Five stars. For reference, La Torre del Borgo can be found here on AirBnB: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/2359996 read more
