Dating back to the 17th century, this delightful old Manor House provides comfortable and spacious accommodation for up to 8 guests in 4 bedrooms. Il Portone has a well equipped kitchen/breakfast room, a large sitting/dining room with Stufa (wood burning fire), TV & Hi-fi, two bathrooms each with showers, sunny southwest facing balcony & gardens offering wide uninterrupted views down the Rosario valley towards the sea. There is central heating available for winter and off-peak rentals if required. Il Portone is situated in the peaceful hamlet of Turlago some ten minutes drive up through the vineyards and olive groves from the historic Malaspina town of Fivizzano. With mediaeval origins, Turlago is a haven of peace and tranquillity. There are no shops, no bar and no swimming pools. Just a timeless serenity where sounds are gentle, no one hurries and village life carries on much as it has done for generations. |

‘We enjoyed everything so much it is difficult to even start to explain our feelings’
Il Portone offers seclusion but not isolation. Within 40
minutes you can be exploring the bustling town of Aulla with a main
line railway station, or Sarzana with its ancient market and quaint
shops. The Autostrada at Aulla opens up the whole of northern Italy
with Parma, Genoa, Pisa, Lucca and Florence a comfortable drive away.
Within an hour you could be relaxing on a safe sandy beach at Lerici
or San Terenzo, or perhaps taking a boat trip along the Gulf of Poets.
Il Portone is the perfect base from which to explore the delights of unspoilt Tuscany. The picturesque ports of Lerici and Portovenere, the Cinque Terre, Fosdinovo, Pisa, Lucca, Florence, Sienna and the Carrara marble mountains are all easily accessible. With tennis, swimming, fishing, sailing, mountain biking, horse riding, skiing and walking close by, almost all activities are catered for. |
