Nestled in the lush greenery of the Ligurian olive groves, just minutes from the center of Sestri Levante and its beaches, Il Casale is a place where the tranquility of nature meets the authenticity of tradition. This historic farmhouse, carefully restored with respect for its heritage, now welcomes guests into an intimate and relaxing environment, perfect for those looking to enjoy a vacation amid the sea, hills, and scents of the Mediterranean scrub.

The property features two independent apartments, Fior d’Olivo and Il Frantoio, designed to provide privacy, comfort, and cozy spaces. The interiors are tastefully decorated and equipped with a fully functional kitchen, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and a Smart TV. Outside, each apartment has dedicated green spaces, including a garden, relaxation area, and pool, ideal for enjoying peaceful moments among the olive trees. Guests also have access to a barbecue, washing machine, and private parking.

Fior d’Olivo is a spacious and bright apartment, perfect for families or small groups of friends. The interior spaces are comfortable and well-organized, featuring a living room, equipped kitchen, cozy bedrooms, and two bathrooms complete with bidet and hairdryer. Outdoors, there is a delightful garden with a panoramic terrace and a seasonal pool, perfect for relaxation on summer days. Bed linens and towels are provided, and guests can use free bicycles to explore the surroundings.

Il Frantoio is created from the restoration of an ancient stone oil mill, renovated while preserving its original charm. The atmosphere is intimate and enchanting, with details that evoke Ligurian tradition, creating an ideal space for a romantic and private getaway, immersed in the tranquility of the countryside.

The location of Il Casale allows easy access to some of the most captivating spots of the Levante Riviera. In just a few minutes, one can reach the Bay of Silence and the beaches of Sestri Levante, while destinations like Portofino, Camogli, Chiavari, and the Cinque Terre are perfect for day trips featuring sea, historic villages, and spectacular views. The trails that wind through the surrounding hills also offer wonderful opportunities for walks and trekking among olive trees and coastal vistas.

Il Casale is also a family story. Its roots trace back to the late 1800s when great-grandfather Gandolfo Giuseppe worked the land as a tenant farmer and, in 1902, managed to purchase the estate, turning it into the family home. In the 1930s, grandfather Gandolfo Eugenio enhanced the structure with wooden beam roofing and terracotta flooring, features that are still meticulously maintained today. After decades of care by Uncle Giuseppe, the family undertook a thoughtful restoration that revealed the property's authentic character, including the recovery of the ancient oil mill.

Today, Il Casale welcomes guests with the same simplicity and authenticity as always, offering a relaxing stay amidst nature, history, and the sea, in the heart of genuine Liguria. There is no 24-hour reception; guests are kindly asked to communicate their arrival time at least 24 hours in advance.

Hey, I'm Silvana

Silvana is the caretaker and heart of Il Casale, a family residence nestled in the lush hills surrounding Sestri Levante. Having grown up among these olive trees and deeply connected to the history of the place, she welcomes guests with warmth and openness, sharing with them the genuine charm of Liguria. Il Casale has been in her family for over a century. In the late 1800s, her great-grandfather Gandolfo Giuseppe worked this land as a sharecropper and managed to purchase the estate in 1902, turning it into the family home. In the 1930s, her grandfather Gandolfo Eugenio made significant improvements, adding a wooden beam roof and terracotta floors that still define the building today. After being lovingly maintained for many years by her uncle Giuseppe, the farmhouse underwent careful restoration to preserve its original character. Silvana, along with her family and with the assistance of her father Gian Battista, oversaw every phase of the renovations, bringing back the authenticity of the house and even restoring the old oil mill. Today, Silvana greets guests in this historically rich place with kindness and attentiveness, offering suggestions on the local area and experiences to enjoy amidst the sea, hills, and Ligurian traditions. Her goal is to make every guest feel at home in an environment where time slows down and nature becomes an integral part of the holiday.

Area Collina

Sestri Levante is one of the most captivating spots on the Riviera di Levante, where the sea gently meets hills adorned with olive trees and Mediterranean scrub. The historic center is situated on a narrow peninsula extending into the sea, forming two spectacular and contrasting bays: the lively Bay of Fairy Tales and the enchanting Bay of Silence, often regarded as one of the most beautiful beaches in Liguria. The latter, with its pastel-colored houses overlooking the water and serene atmosphere, is perfect for sunset strolls and peaceful moments.

The heart of the town is marked by narrow alleyways, small squares, and sea views that narrate the maritime history of the village. Here, one can find artisan shops, outdoor cafés, and restaurants offering a taste of Ligurian tradition, from freshly baked focaccia to pesto made following local recipes, as well as dishes featuring fresh fish that reflect the region’s culinary culture.

Surrounding Sestri Levante is the picturesque landscape of the Gulf of Tigullio, an area rich in fishing villages, scenic trails, and views that alternate between sea and hills. In close proximity are towns like Chiavari, known for its elegant porticoed historic center, and Lavagna, famous for its marina and expansive beaches. Continuing along the coast leads to Camogli and Portofino, renowned for their charming harbors and the sophisticated atmosphere that has always defined this part of Liguria.

Nature enthusiasts and outdoor activity lovers will find numerous opportunities to explore the area. The hills surrounding Sestri Levante are crisscrossed with trails that wind through olive groves, Mediterranean forests, and breathtaking sea views, making them ideal for trekking, scenic walks, or simply enjoying the tranquility of the Ligurian countryside.

The strategic location also allows for easy access to some of the most iconic destinations in Liguria. The Cinque Terre, with their colorful villages perched on cliffs, are perfect for a day trip filled with sea, vineyards, and unique landscapes. Portovenere, with its historical village overlooking the Gulf of Poets, is another unmissable destination for those wanting to discover the most authentic charm of the Ligurian coast.

Sestri Levante thus manages to blend the vibrancy of a seaside resort with the slow pace of Ligurian villages, providing visitors with a perfect balance of relaxation, nature, and culture. It’s an ideal destination for those who wish to enjoy the sea without sacrificing tranquility, discovering new landscapes, flavors, and traditions every day.
