General Description
Villa La Torretta is reached through electrically operated gates into its grounds with an orchard to one side, a double garage to the other and grass laid to the front. It looks inviting enough as it is, so the rear of the house comes as a shock. In expansive grounds there is a grassed badminton court, a swimming pool, a patio with table tennis, a large stone built barbecue with pizza oven, a covered dining table and a covered outdoor sitting room. By the rear of the garage is an outdoor shower room with WC that conveniently serves this area and a laundry room with washing machine and tumble drier. The interior is exquisitely furnished, and a fabulous stainless steel kitchen with every utensil imaginable will delight the cook.

La Spezia is fifteen kilometres from the villa, from where one can reach the famous Cinque Terre National Park along the coast line from Portovenere to Monterosso. This is a protected stretch of rocky coastline and the name derives from the five dramatically situated small villages that cling to the cliff face down to the sea.

Continuing further up the coastline towards Genoa, you may visit Italy’s most intimate and distinctive sea resort of Portofino, with its exclusive yacht harbour, close to the fashionab
