The historic center of the village is very suggestive. In the evening, also lit on the floor, it becomes a gem. We recommend moving with your car in the surrounding areas but there is also a bus service to Sestri Levante with a stop 50 meters from home. At the same distance you will find the main services: the tourist office, the post office, the bank, the pharmacy, two grocery stores, a tobacconist's shop, a well-known butcher shop, a clothing store and a trattoria bar. The nearest supermarket is about 3 km away. Varese Ligure, the first BIO municipality in Europe, is about 15 km away. You will also find a riding stable a few hundred meters below our house. The Gulf of Tigullio and "its" hills behind it, are a magical environment where there are countless possibilities for activities of all kinds. Furthermore, history is also of considerable importance .... Known already in Roman times, the municipal territory of Castiglione Chiavarese probably marked the border between Ligurian and Etruscan culture. Traces of the Romans are evident on the territory with the remains of bridges, objects and lime quarries; from literary sources it is clear that the village of Velva, in the municipality of Castiglione Chiavarese. In the municipal area there is the possibility to visit ancient bridges and roads from the Roman era and also you can admire a Roman refueling station and tavern, a rare thing because there are few finds of such works along the Roman roads, in this case along the Via Aurelia.
