Montemarcello, Cinque Terre – Liguria
Sleeping four people this pretty country villa recently restored occupies a privileged hillside position right at the gates of the old charming village of Montemarcello located on the borders between Liguria and Tuscany, at just a stone’s throw from the Cinque Terre natural reserve. Its peaceful countryside location enjoys utmost privacy and seclusion. The house is a part of a private estate surrounded by olive groves enjoying extensive views over the Mediterranean Sea. Villa Rubinia has been meticulously restored in 2009 by the owners who also live in the estate in a separate independent home. It provides all modern comforts, while at the same time preserving its typical Ligurian design with the warm and soft tones of the walls and furniture. The elegant details add a special touch of class and distinction to this property, where tradition blends harmoniously with sea, sun and relaxation!

Each bedroom is fitted with ceiling- fans and has modern ensuite bathroom with shower. Both have romantic windows looking out on to the flowering garden.
The villa offers all modern comforts such as wireless internet, satellite tv, dvd, stereo system, washing machine, dishwasher, safe and mosquito screens. The furnishings have all been carefully chosen to create a bright and airy atmosphere.
