Stone Charming Villa 150 sq.m, 6 km From The Beaches, SPA, Gorgeous BBQ Area

The recent restoration of the house has been a labor of love, focusing on reusing materials: stone discovered under the old plaster, original terracotta paving, and chestnut wood for the ceilings. This unique blend of materials, combined with our meticulous attention to detail, creates an unforgettable, charming atmosphere. You'll always find tranquility in the house despite its proximity to downtown and distance from the summer bustle. The house is part of the private Borgo, with its first document dating back to 1522, nestled on the property of an ancient castle. It consists of three country houses: Villa la Maclura and Il Gombo, a private house for our family. Each house features a pool, garden, chill-out area, BBQ, entrance, and car spaces. The villa boasts three bedrooms, two bathrooms, one lounge, one lounge-diner, one smaller lounge /bedroom with total privacy, one large kitchen, and one utility room spread over two levels (150 sq.m.). The villa's ground floor and first floor are exclusively for guests, while we've reserved the independent top floor to ensure all the necessary assistance for a relaxing stay.
We recently installed air conditioning in the south bedrooms on the first floor for your comfort. The north bedroom has a large and elegant fan with wooden blades on the ceiling. This was unnecessary before the summer of 2023, as the house's elevated location at 380 meters above sea level provided natural cooling. We have also fitted all bedroom windows with mosquito nets to ensure a peaceful and undisturbed sleep.
Outside, you'll find a BBQ on the terrace garden at the ground floor level, perfect for al fresco dining. There's another BBQ in the large garden below, just a stone's throw from the private (exclusively for you) SPA. The outdoor area is fully equipped with comfortable garden furniture, inviting you to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
PLEASE NOTE

*Villa La Nicchia is part of a single property, the ancient Borgo of the family castle; it comprises three detached but close houses and is 5.5 km from the center of Alassio. You can reach it by driving a typical Ligurian road, with two lanes and a certain number of curves, except for the last stretch (1,2 km), which is narrower for orographic reasons.
*The SPA, a private and relaxing property feature, is generally unavailable from the end of October to late March/mid-April due to the heating pump's inability to warm the water up to 30° if the external temperature is less than 15°, particularly at night. However, we encourage you to inquire about the current situation, as we must consider climate change and the recent upside-down seasons, which may affect the availability of the SPA during the Spring.
*Reading and following the house rules are part of the rental agreement. You will receive both before you come.
*Flexibility is our policy about many things, mainly two extra fees we want you to pay as you go. So, we also apply it regarding the additional fee due for good LPG heating (1), which we cannot quantify a priori. We will calculate the consumption with you on the morning of departure; the cost could be € 5,5 per m3.
The final cleaning cost (2) is not visible on the website payment summary because it varies according to the number of people and the number of nights stayed. The minimum payment is € 100, and the maximum is € 160, to be paid on the morning of departure.
*For your information, Alassio's Municipality Authority deliberated on accepting tourist tax, € 1 per person per night, payments only from the property's owner, not from any platform.
*Check-in will not be before 4:00 p.m.; check-out will not be after 09:30 a.m.

Perfect house in the hills not too far from town/beach
Two families stayed the long weekend here with 3 kids 10, 10, 8. It was beautiful and well kept, perfect little gem with a big property, covered semi heated pool and all the things you need in the kitchen. We enjoyed the sun, pool, gorgeous outdoor dinners and view. Very cool indoors at night. The host was so welcoming and booked us dinner 5 min away one night. Alassio is 15 min away down the windy road so convenient enough for a beach day and shopping in town. Easy parking. Just a perfect vacation spot. Wish we could have stayed longer. One thing to note, it wasn’t advised to use the pizza oven in a short stay but totally fine for a longer stay. Highly recommend.

Alassio 2022 trip
This house has a 1 million $ view. Every morning we had breakfast outside with the view on the hills and the Mediterranean see. The house has everything. Full kitchen equipment if you like cooking. There was a separate dining room with lounge chairs in front of the fire place and a nice Livingroom upstairs. Beds were very comfortable. Once again we were in love with the location and the house and the owners Elisa and Riccardo were doing everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We definitely recommend this house and hope to return one day!

Very special
Of all the places we stayed on our European vacation, this villa was the most beautiful and memorable. My family of 4 felt so at home and enjoyed the spa and comfortable rooms. As an interior designer, I felt like I was living in an Italian Country magazine. The hosts were so friendly and had the best suggestions for food, Alassio and Genoa. I will never forget this place.

Wonderful historic property in a stunning location.
We booked this location as a surprise for my Father who was born in Alassio and so glad we did. The property is truly wonderful and full of Italian character and charm, the location is stunning with an equally stunning view The owners were so friendly from start to finish which help make our stay a truly memorable one. Our entire family would have no hesitation in recommending this property. We will be going back!

A wonderful holiday escape
The property itself is absolutely stunning, so much so that we spent most of our stay at the house enjoying the sun down by the pool! The views are breathtaking and add to the magic of the place, especially eating breakfast looking out over the sea. Everything was beautifully clean and felt like a home away from home. We only ventured down into the neighbouring town a few times but we were impressed by the abundance of restaurants and shops by the seafront. There is also an amazing pizza place 5 minutes drive from the house! We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this propert :)

Amazing stay
We loved the stay in this villa. Very clean, everything to use . Super view from the terrace near the house and at the swimming pool you can make pizza or use the big bbq. You dont need to go somewhere just stay and relax! We loved the swimming pool with starheaven light. Be aware of the contribution for using everything in & around the house incl cleaning costs to pay cash at check out.

Quaint property with a great view.
From reading reviews and looking at photographs of the property was very much as we expected. The owners Ricardo and Elisa were very accommodating, pleasant and helpful. It was very hot when we were there and the covered spa was a very nice and a big relief from the heat during the day. The only issue we had was that the house was very hot at night and we would have liked to have had some fans in the bedrooms to help us sleep better. Alsssio as a town was very crowded and parking was very difficult. Elisa did give us some very useful hints about where to go to avoid the crowds. A nearby restaurant just down the hill, recommended by Elisa was fabulous.

Perfekter Aufenthalt im Traumhaus mit Aussicht
Wir verbrachten unsere Ferien im schönen und wunderbar eingerichteten Haus. Es ist nicht nur geschmacksvoll eingerichtet sondern auch praktisch, sauber und es fehlte an nichts! Die Aussicht ist atemberaubend und der gepflegte Garten, lädt mit kleinem Pool und Liegestühlen zum entspannen ein. Es gibt 2 Grillplätze für schöne Abende zu Hause. Das Haus ist exakt 10 Autominuten vom Centro entfernt. In der Nähe gibt es ein tolles Restaurant und einen kleinen Laden mit frischen Brötchen. Die Besitzerin ist sehr nett und steht für alle Fragen und Informationen zur Verfügung und ist super organisiert. Uns wurde auch eine Garage im Centro zur Miete Angeboten, was in der Hochsaison zu empfehlen ist. Ich würde das Haus sofort wieder mieten und empfehle es gerne weiter. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt und wünschen Elisa und Ihrer Familie nur das Beste.

Tolles Haus, aber Autofahren muss man lieben
Das Haus war wunderbar, genügend Platz für alle (wir waren 2 Familien mit je einem Kind), schöner Garten, Mini-Pool unterm Dach und feiner Terrasse. Wir hätten nur gerne gewusst, dass keine hundert Meter entfernt eine Event-Location ist, von der man - besonders am Wochenende - bis früh in den Morgen beschallt wird, sodass man jedes einzelne Lied mitsingen kann - so laut und deutlich ist alles zu hören, da dies ein Talkessel ist. Leider ist die Strasse zum Haus sehr schlecht ausgebaut, sodass man abends keine Lust hat, nochmal nach Alassio zu fahren (20 Minuten!) um dort Abend zu essen oder die Atmosphäre im Ort zu genießen. Wenn, dann muss immer einer nüchtern bleiben, denn die Straße verlangt einem alles an Konzentration ab (sehr eng, miserabler Zustand, ständig in der Angst, dass einem in der nächsten unübersichtlichen Kurve ein Auto reinfährt). Wenn wir das alles gewusst hätten, hätten wir uns gegen das Haus entschieden. Zu Fuss ist leider nichts bewältigbar, weder zum Strand, noch zum Bäcker oder um abends noch etwas Trinken zu gehen. Es wäre auch viel zu gefährlich, zu Fuß zu gehen. Sogar die Einheimischen machen dies nur in Leuchtbekleidung. Die Gastgeberin ist nett, hilft einem auch mit Reservierungen, wenn gewünscht. Wer also die Ruhe (untertags) sucht und abends nicht weggehen will, ist hier genau richtig!

Eine traumhafte Urlaubswoche
Der wunderschöne Blick zu jeder Tageszeit - schon morgens aus dem Fenster, beim Frühstück von der Terrasse, vom Pool durch die Steinbögen usw. - ist einfach unvergesslich! Die Umgebung ist genauso schön. Das Haus ist harmonisch restauriert, detailreich und durchdacht ausgestattet und hat Charakter. Die Betten waren super, wir hatten genug Platz, zwei Bäder usw. Uns fehlte es an nichts zu Wohlfühlen. Elisa reservierte für uns für den ersten Abend im traumhaften Restaurant ein paar Gehminuten entfernt. Wir genossen das Grillen direkt an der Terrasse und als Highlight das Pizzabacken in der herrlichen Außenküche. Der Pool - mit Musikanlage und sogar zuschaltbarem Wasserfall - war unsere Erfrischungs-, Ruhe- oder Geselligkeits-Oase - je nach Bedarf. Bei einem Gewitter am Abend verlegten wir unsere Kniffel-Spiel-Runde ins gemütliche Haus. Der Strand-Tipp von Elisa und das Essen in Laugueglia waren super und die Ausflüge nach Albenga ins historische Altstadtgetümmel oder die beiden Ortsteile von Imperia (Shopping/Cafe, Häfen, Strand, Altstadt und abermals gutes Essen!) - wir genossen alles sehr. Vielen Dank Elisa und Riccardo

Great stay, great hosts, thank you!
We had a great stay at the beautiful house. The hosts are super friendly and helpful. We got great recommendations for a beach/ Bagno and Restaurants and they were always here to help. They were extremely accommodating and understanding about a private problem we had, what we highly appreciated. Thanks again! A few things could be improved to meet our higher expectations regarding the 500€/ night in total: The pots, pans and knifes in the kitchen are old and not really fun to cook with. We didn’t understand why we had to park the car outside the gate. With a toddler and grandma it could have been easier for us with all the grocery shopping and beach stuff. For this price we thought our stay would be a little more private. We didn’t know that there are two further rental houses on the same property and that the hosts live in the upper floor which surprised us the most. There is a wooden door which separates the rented area of the house from the upper floor, but they also have an own entrance. Having the host checking the garden once a day was a little odd as well in our eyes. We felt a little controlled from time to time. All in all a beautiful vacation with little things we weren’t fully happy with.

Beautiful quiet place
Elisa and Riccardo are excellent hosts, the quaint house is beautifully located in the hills of Alassio. Kids loved the heated pool (and it is shaded, as you wish today for sun protection). The interior is lovely maintained, with small things making a difference. The equipment leaves no wishes open. If you look for a more remote place away from the busy ocean front, look no further. We rate it definitely 5 stars. One caveat: you need to be twisted roads-proof. It takes around 10-15 minutes through very narrow uphill roads to get there. But once you get there, you never want to leave again. Thanks Elisa and Riccardo!
