    The location, though hard to find at night, was so perfect for us. It is hard to describe in words adequately, but it is picture perfect and supremely restful. It is an authentic experience and not cloaked in touristic influences. We can't wait to...

    Lovely quaint house with views from rooftop balcony. Mara, the host, was warm and friendly. She gave us a fantastic welcome and helped us with recommendations and reservations to local restaurants! It felt like a home away from home :)

    Cosy apartment with attention to details, bathroom at each bedroom, kitchen on the upper floor that makes bedrooms isolated from produced heat and smells, nice open terrace with the view on the sea

    Le logement de Mara est décoré avec goûts , possédant trois chambres, chacune disposant de sa salle d’eau. Une belle vue sur le Golf des Poètes et un endroit très calme dans une ruelle typiquement italienne.

Casa Monella is a typical tower house of the Ligurian villages, built at the end of the nineteenth century with the materials in use at that time: stone, blackboard, cement tiles. It has recently been renovated respecting its typical features. From all the windows you can enjoy the view of the Gulf of the Poets, and of the islands. Furnished with charming furniture and refined in detail with its sunsets it will make you experience unforgettable evenings. The accommodation is located in a strategic position to reach Lerici, Tellaro, Monte Marcello and the Cinque Terre. The house located a few kilometers from the motorway entrance it will allow you to reach cities of art such as Pisa (80km) Lucca (100km) Florence (150km) in a short time. The many nearby beaches will allow you to enjoy our splendid sea. Just 4 km away is the Villa Marigola golf course, tennis courts and swimming pool. You can reach the Cinque Terre, Portovenere and the islands with a ferry service that leaves from Lerici. There is also the possibility of taking paid one-day boat trips (maximum 5 people in a typical Ligurian gozzo), to visit inaccessible places, go swimming, try fishing, enjoy romantic sunsets while having an aperitif.
I am a physical education teacher, I teach in a high school in the city of La Spezia and I know my area very well. I welcome my guests with fresh flowers, white wine, Ligurian focaccia and lots of cordiality. I am available for any information in order to make your holiday unforgettable. For guests who book more than 8 days, a change of bed and bathroom linen and mid-stay cleaning will be offered.
My house is located in the center of one of the most beautiful gulfs in Italy. The Gulf of Poets is so defined because poets such as Dante, David Herbert Lawrence, George Sand, Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, Emma, ​​Orczy have long stayed in these places struck by the beauty of this "water amphitheatre" and inspired! According to some scholars, by carefully examining Botticelli's painting The Birth of Venus, in the sea on the right behind the image of Venus depicted in the famous painting you can recognize the Gulf of La Spezia,, the Fezzano promontory and in the background the island of Palmaria
