After booking this amazing villa hidden in the little village of Bolano, just seven miles from LaSpezia, we never expected what we found. From the second we got to the electric gate and rang the bell to viewing the beautifully dressed Stefania Bocchia, the property owner, we were amazed. Clean, well furnished and the pool which was intended for the children proved to be the hidden gem. We spent every night in the Gazebo and pool area drinking Limoncello, wine and other spirits while munching on Parmegiana cheese, breads, olives and fruit. The panoramic view of the mountains surrounding the Villa are breath taking. We traveled each day to La Spezia where we caught the trains to the Cinque Terra towns. Stefania was most helpful recommending outstanding restaurants, the last of which was in the medieval village of Bolano at the top of the mountain. It was a throw back in time but the ambience and food were terrific. Anyone in their right mind should go to this paradise in Bolano and meet the gracious, beautiful and amazing Stefania. Grazie Tante!
