Typical detached house, swimming pool ,barbecue

About a dozen km from the sea and from the center of Imperia, in an immense natural olive grove that goes from Dolcedo up to Lecchiore, is "casa Marta". INDEPENDENT and on two floors, with a terrace "sea view" and an outdoor area that remains under the terrace (where you can have lunch, read or smoke a good cigar in the presence of nature even on hot summer days). You enter in a small hall, so we have the living room with fireplace and TV, a new and large double sofa bed + another single bed. The living room can be completely closed with two sliding doors, thus becoming a practical sleeping area. Then we have the large kitchen "of yesteryear", with pieces now unobtainable such as the beautiful marble sink, a large table, a cupboard, an electric oven and a microwave. A slate staircase leads to the upper floor, where there is the bathroom with shower and the comfortable double bedroom, with a beaded ceiling, then a closet and finally a beautiful terrace with sea view, recently redone, with chairs, table and umbrella . Free wifi internet connection. Casa Marta is one of the last houses in the tiny village of LECCHIORE, before the large olive grove. The carriage road, which passes 100 meters below the house, ends after 1 km, so the location is very quiet and peaceful. We are surrounded by olive trees which, between November and December, produce an excellent extra-virgin olive oil, one of the finest in Italy. THE SWIMMING POOL / RELAXING OASIS (shared with the guests of our other rental house, Casa Orengo), with walls redone in old stone, is our flagship, but we must not forget that in the nearby sea you can swim almost all year round, since we are in the province of Imperia, elected by the Sun 24 Hours as the city with the best climate in Italy. The new swimming pool, open every year from mid-June, is a REAL swimming pool, inground and with a newly coated bottom, surrounded by olive trees, measuring 11 x 5 meters, with a very comfortable Roman access staircase, and a diving board for children. It has a brand new lawn, on two levels of 160 square meters with umbrellas, tables and deck chairs, in a cozy atmosphere of peace and tranquility. On the first level of the lawn a family is hosted and on the second level the host family of our second holiday home: here social distances are naturally guaranteed (since before Covid 19)! We have recently built a stone barbecue, a few meters from the pool, which can be freely used. A new CYCLE PATH winds its way from San Lorenzo (about 20 minutes by car from Lecchiore) for 27 km along the sea, reaching Ospedaletti. By renting a bike in the affiliated points (one in the Prino area in Imperia Porto Maurizio and one in San Lorenzo for example) you can take the beautiful panoramic tour along the Riviera di Ponente, meeting bars, play areas for children and splendid panoramic views. Our guests can thus alternate days at the beach with others in the pool, or immerse themselves in the large wood, on foot or by mountain bike, to meet the splendid natural lakes surrounded by nature, with crystal clear and fresh water: a bath is a must. 'obligation! The villages of our Hinterland (of which Lecchiore is a part) are very characteristic and still offer family-run trattorias, where you can taste good red wine "sciac - e -tra", as well as obviously our precious extra virgin olive oil (which you can also buy "Olio Asplanato" in Nicola's oil mill and point of sale right under the house). SANREMO is about 35 km, MONTECARLO 70 km, Genoa with its famous aquarium is 120 km away. Imperia offers you natural BEACHES, in sand or stone, free or for a fee. Definitely worth visiting is the breathtaking panoramic point of the lodges of Santa Chiara, accessible from PARRASIO in Porto Maurizio (the beautiful historic center), the MACI, a contemporary art museum housed in a beautiful 1930s villa, the Naval Museum of Imperia Museo dell'Olivo dell'Olio Carli and the unique and spectacular Villa Grock (which belonged to the famous clown Adrien Wettach). RECOMMENDED GASTRONOMIC TOURIST ITINERARY: visit to a beautiful vineyard with local wine tasting in Artallo (hamlet of Imperia), dinner at the Olio Grosso al Parrasio tavern (Imperia Porto Maurizio), visit to the beautiful loggias of Santa Chiara in the moonlight ... and then return to Casa Marta, to sleep lulled by the noise of frogs and cicadas and the light of fireflies and stars.
