"We have returned from Italy, having had a moving and memorable trip, Le Moggie being the highlight. It is absolutely beautiful and serene. We were amazed and pleased by the spaciousness, the exquisite taste in the design both inside and outside, the lushness of the forest and farms and something else, hard to put into words, that reflects the beauty and balance that is Italy." Ron Veronda 2000, 2002, 2003, 2005
Our sixteenth century, stone villa is very privately situated in a national park on amountainside overlooking chestnut forests and distant medieval villages. "Le Moggie" is a rare place where you can find true privacy and tranquillity in an unspoiled region of northern Italy, which in 1999 received the first ever European Community award for the highest environmental quality of life in all of Europe.
Le Moggie has been completely restored and is furnished throughout with local antiques. Hiking paths and wonderful views abound near "Le Moggie", which is located on a private road. The air is refreshing and dry and a government-certified mineral water spring feeds the house.
The medieval town of Varese Ligure, less than 10 minutes from Le Moggie by car, is the old regional capital and has been declared a patrimony of mankind by Unesco because of its many beautiful old buildings and squares.
Varese offers extensive shopping and banking facilities, a market, an Olympic-sized pool, and some of the best restaurants we have tried anywhere, serving Ligurian specialties such as pasta with pesto, ravioli, porcini mushrooms, game, chestnut pasta with pinoli sauce and other delicacies.
During August, Varese mounts a superb open-air opera festival in the charming square behind the town castle. In spring and fall, the nearby Vara river offers whitewater rafting and there are also many excellent riding facilities in the area.
The elegant Riviera resorts, Portofino, the Cinque Terre and Sestri Levante, are 35 minutes away, while Parma, Genoa and Tuscany are one to 1.5 hours by car, making many wonderful day trips possible.
The Cinque Terre are five coastal villages in the province of La Spezia in the Liguria region of Italy. "Discovered" by foreigners in the late 20th century, they have come to be among the most popular areas of Italy among tourists. The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all encapsulated in a national park by the same name. The Cinque Terre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The five villages are, from west to east (i.e., from Genoa towards La Spezia):
Monterosso al Mare
Vernazza
Corniglia
Manarola
Riomaggiore
