Quirkily blending old and new, this home in the Ligurian countryside marches to the beat of its own drum. Despite its thoroughly modern glass-fronted exterior, you’ll find a pêle-mêle of antique curios and eclectic works of art that, while perhaps not to everyone’s taste, certainly gives the home plenty of character. One thing is undeniable though – the terraced grounds are breathtaking. With a private pool, outdoor dining area and vast lawns giving way to panoramic hilly views, you’re sure to find your holiday bliss. What’s more, the home’s location makes exploring the Cinque Terre National Park a breeze with Monterosso al Mare 25 kilometres away and the romantic Golfo dei Poeti easily reachable by car too.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
