Aigo Villa | 15th century castle, between Cinque Terre and Portofino, private pool, sea view

5 Bedroom Villa in Aigo, Leivi

The property offers a total of 10 sleeps in 5 double rooms (PLEASE NOTE the 5th room is only available for reservations for more than 8 guests, or on request for an extra). The property is not shared with other people, so we can say that it is at your sole use. All the bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning to allow a pleasant rest also in case of very hot weather, while the common areas do not have air conditioning available.
-------------------------------------------------
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE BOOKING: the property is an ancient building, dating back to the 13th century. The interior is very well kept and as you can see from the photos and you can read from several reviews (we have a 5 stars average!), it is clean and comfortable, the air conditioning is new and the kitchen is antique style, but modern. Nevertheless, all the furnitures are antiques, such as the beds, the sofa etc. If you are not that kind of person who likes such an historical and antique atmosphere, please do not book this property. We have great respect for everybody's personal taste, but we had guests who were disappointed because they were expecting modern space and atmosphere like the ones they could find in a 5 stars Hotel. We are not equipped with all the amenities you can expect from an Hotel, nor we pretend to be as an Hotel, we are an holiday house with some very original characteristics. Let me also say, more than original, I would say, unique. You can relax under the shadow of a centenary Watchtower which was built even before Christopher Columbus had discovered the Americas, but definitively you will not stay in a 5 stars Hotel. Our reviews have a 5 stars average rate but we are not a 5 stars hotel!!!
To make a long story short, we are for many, but not for all!
If this fits with your expectations, please continue reading the description of the property! We would love to have you staying with us!
-------------------------------------------------
The site is quiet and romantic, with the infinity swimming pool equipped with water jets and a large green relax area with sun beds and from the terrace a remarkable panoramic views towards the peninsula of Portofino and Sestri Levante, then towards the Val d'Aveto and Val di Vara, and on a clear day, looking towards the South, you can see the profile of Corsica's mountains.

Summary: Beautiful spot to stay and explore that part of Italy. Winding road to get there but worth it. Very comfortable furniture throughout and well maintained. We didn’t cook meals, but the kitchen was well stocked. Just telling friends that you stayed in a castle built in the 1400’s is worth it.

Summary: Huge property with historical details. Beautiful pool with scenic views that can’t be beat. Hosts were very accommodating. The inside air was stale from not being aired out. Other than that it was a wonderful experience.

Summary: We loved this property. The home is full of antiques but is very comfortable. We did need a car to get to the home. Sylvie recommended the restaurant, Peppen and it was the best place we have eaten in a long time. The owner was gracious and fed us way too much wonderful food. Stay a whole week to enjoy this property and the towns near by. Thanks to Alberto for sharing this home.

Summary: My wife and I came here on our honeymoon and we were blown away! It is truly a unique experience to stay in a medieval castle, but even more stunning was the location of the property - nestled in a quiet town in the Italian countryside. The hosts were great and very accommodating, and we had an incredible stay.

Summary: The property was as advertised in its quality, room and features. The "tavern" is two levels and large leading out to the pool area. This is in my opinion the gathering area during our stay and it can host a larger number of people. The property value is enhanced by this entertainment area. Not a walkable location if that is important which it is to me. Need to drive everywhere .Quiet at night but during the days neighbouring dogs and immediate church bells are very evident. Good location for a larger family gathering.

Summary: We attended a wedding in Tuscany and had decided to extend our visit and continue to vacation with our immediate family members. We selected the historic castle which is in an area northwest of where the wedding was and closer to the coast. How often does one have the opportunity to stay in a 500+ year old castle? Well, if you have a chance, we would highly recommend it. The property is a drive up a winding road into the hills, but once you arrive, you are in heaven. The view is spectacular, the surroundings are peaceful (only interrupted by some charming church bells) and serene, especially at night for stargazing. The castle itself, is very comfortable and the infinity pool is amazing. Silvia, the property manager, was extremely helpful and always available. There are a lot of stairs which might pose a problem for some, but no one in our party complained. Plus, we were blessed with some beautiful weather. We made some beautiful memories at the Castle Mereta.

Summary: The stay at Castello della Mereta was simply wonderful. We were able to spend two wonderful weeks in Liguria and enjoy the great weather, the beautiful scenery, the good Italian food and the Castello. La dolce vita! The Castello is fantastically situated and a wonderful vacation home. We especially liked the well-kept outdoor areas with the numerous seating areas. The huge roof terrace offers a magnificent view of the Mediterranean and the surrounding hills. The castle garden provides shady seating. The pool area offers very comfortable sun loungers, additional seating and an approximately 4x6 meter saltwater pool with a whirlpool function. The Castello is very spacious and tastefully furnished with lots of antique furniture. It is a very special vacation home and the stay is a unique experience that makes you feel like a real lord of the castle for the time of your stay. Alberto is a very nice and accommodating host and landlord. All requests were answered quickly and were always very helpful. Battista took care of the outside facilities very reliably, maintained the pool and the garden. Special praise and a big MILLE GRAZIE goes to Silvia, who is the property manager. Silvia not only takes care of welcoming guests. She was always available for questions throughout our stay and responded to every question with breathtaking speed. Silvia was so kind and gave us many great recommendations (stores, shopping, etc.) and even arranged for us to stay at a nearby ristorante (Pepen) and made the reservation. She also did a wonderful job organizing a boat trip and did all the planning and coordination for us. The service provided by Silvia, as well as Battista and Alberto, is second to none and made an already wonderful stay a unique experience. We can unreservedly recommend Castello della Mereta as a vacation domicile. We enjoyed the two weeks there very much and had an unforgettable time.

Summary: We injoyed our stay greatly. A little tricky to find in the dark but we got it. Amazing views, rooms were very nice. The weather was perfect so we really used the pool. House manager went above and beyond helping us figure things out. I would say this place is for people that are mobile. Lots of stairs that we did not mind. LOVED IT
