The villa's six bedrooms are all a good size and are comprised of four doubles and two bedrooms with two single beds each. There are also several sofa beds providing additional sleeping options. Four bathrooms means no competition for who gets to shower first thing in the morning or have a relaxing bath before bed.
The outside space and facilities on offer at Villa dei Poeti are simply stunning. As are the hillside views from the extensive gardens. Terraced, lawned gardens are dotted with traditional Mediterranean trees and plants, with plenty of seating for chilling out. The private swimming pool is set within an attractive terrace that’s also home to a partially-covered dining area and selection of sun loungers. Behind the pool is a playground for children. Further into the gardens are a football pitch with goals and a tennis court. You’ll also find other dining areas and a barbecue. There’s even a compact gym on offer!

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa Dei PoetiVilla Dei Poeti enjoys a privileged position right in the heart of the Ligurian countryside, close to the Tuscan border. There’s plenty on offer in the immediate area, with a friendly pizzeria stone's throw away for enjoying evening meals out (it also sells basic groceries).
Shops and supermarkets for stocking up on groceries are also just 5km away. There’s a huge shopping centre in Brugnato (11km) for indulging in some retail therapy.
The closest of the five Cinque Terre fishing villages is the largest and furthest north, Monterosso al Mare (25km). Like all of the villages, it features pastel-coloured buildings perched precariously on rugged hillsides. Most of which are perched right above the sea, adding to the sense of drama.
You can follow paths that link the villages to see how each village varies in terms of its features and atmosphere. One of the most popular trails is what’s known as The Path of Love between Riomaggiore and Manarola, which is a clifftop walk with breathtaking sea views along the way. At Monterosso al Mare you have a lovely sandy beach and crystal clear waters to enjoy. There’s also an old town area full of fascinating buildings.
You can also get the train to the Cinque Terre villages from La Spezia (19km). This old town has an attractive waterfront area that’s ideal for a pre-dinner stroll and plenty of historic sites. One of the most impressive is 13th century San Giorgio Castle. If you visit La Spezia in the summer you can go on a boat trip out to Palmaria Island, which is dotted with pebble beaches and hidden caves.

Enjoyable holiday
There were 14 of us, 4 familes. The villa is located up on a hill slope near to Cinque Terre and between Liguria and Tuscany. You can enjoy your meal as well as a glass of wonderful local wine or whatever you choose to enjoy on a spacious relax area near the pool. The property is magnificent, it has really everything you need: Swimming pool , Jacuzzi, Tennis court, Football soccer, Barbeque, Air conditioning, Hammock... clean, very comfortable, it has everything necessary to enjoy the holiday. The property manager was very friendly and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to rent it again.
P.S. Don't forget to visit Cinque Terra nearby. -

Gorgeous, just fabulous
Villa Dei Poeti is gorgeous! We really enjoyed our stay!
The house and the grounds are just fabulous. I never had a vacation in a villa able to offer Tennis and Football courts. Here we had the opportunity to play every day with our kids and all was fantastic. We highly recommend it and we will come back for sure. -
Paradise for adults and children
We had a wonderful trip. The villa is about 30 minutes from Monterosso in Cinque Terre and centrally located for day trips. Make no mistake, this is a beautifully appointed villa with antiques and original details. A/C in the whole house that work well. The grounds are stunning and spotless: Tennis court, football field, Kids play area, Relax area for Yoga and meditation. A paradise for adults and children! Kitchen is large and well equipped. Bedrooms are very nice with large modern bathrooms. We will be back which is probably the best compliment to give.

Just amazing
The stay was just amazing. The house is well decorated and perfect for 16 people. It is located in the middle of a beautiful garden. We were 16 people and felt incredibly comfortable. Especially for active people, the house is perfectly suited with its tennis court, football field, swimming pool and huge garden. We agreed that we would definitely want to come back in the next few years.

Kind and helpful host
We spent two weeks in Villa Dei Poeti close to Cinque Terre and Portofino. Ten adults and four kids enjoyed the well equipped villa and the garden with Tennis court, Football field and pool area. The pergola was great for both breakfast, dinner and just relaxing out of the sun. The host was also very kind and helpful. The villa and area is a very good starting point for visiting both Liguria and Tuscany, the beaches and other great places nearby. Definitely a place to come back to.

Everything was super!
We rented the whole property and had the pool, tennis court and everything else in exclusive for ourselves. I recommend this location without hesitation and can attest to how great it is!
