Discover the Charm of Pompeiana – A Tranquil Retreat in the Hills of Liguria
Nestled in the hills above the coastal town of Riva Ligure lies the picturesque medieval village of Pompeiana. Surrounded by lush olive groves and vibrant flowering plants, this peaceful haven enjoys a sheltered position thanks to Mount San Bernardo, which protects it from cold winter winds and offers refreshing sea breezes in the summer.
Just on the outskirts of the village, you’ll find Silvia and Nino’s charming Agriturismo. Spread across approximately 15,000 m², the estate features groves of oranges, mandarins, and lemons, along with palm trees, a small vineyard, and gardens where fresh fruits and vegetables are cultivated. The property also houses four comfortable holiday accommodations, each welcoming guests with genuine hospitality and personal service.
The surrounding area is perfect for those looking to embrace the quiet rhythms of country life, offering fresh air, scenic landscapes, and outdoor activities such as horseback riding, hiking, and cycling. And if you’re longing for the sea, the beautiful beaches of Riva Ligure are just a 5-minute drive away. Known for their cleanliness and crystal-clear waters, the beaches are bordered by rocky formations ideal for sunbathing or diving. Riva Ligure also offers plenty of opportunities for sailing, surfing, and diving.
Casa Mare is a fully renovated 'rustico' made of traditional stone and wood from Pompeiana. The house and terrace face south and offer a wonderful view of the sea. The decor is Italian rustic, lovingly decorated by the owner. The accommodation has a total area of about 50 m2 and consists of the following: a room with a sofa; a kitchen with a dining table; a bathroom with a shower and toilet and two bedrooms: 1 furnished with a double bed and containing large storage closets and the other furnished with a bunk bed. There is room for an extra bed (upon request, in advance). On the sunny terrace, there is garden furniture and a parasol. The farmhouse has a private entrance, a large garden, and its on-site parking.
