About this property

Romantic and comfortable rustic-style house that combines the sea with the mountains

La Fene (r) a is composed of a large and intimate terrace equipped with table and chairs, deck chairs, bbq, small swimming pool 3m x2 1m deep, perfect for relaxing and refreshing in the hottest moments. Outdoor shower and sink all decorated with flowers. the terrace is ideal for romantic candlelit dinners.
The property is served by a private parking area. area easy to find, convenient for arriving by car or motorbike and well served by public transport.
Crossing an old door you enter the house inside, a unique and welcoming environment, with well-equipped kitchen and living room, pellet stove, LED TV, air conditioning, internet connection, everything is ready to pamper you and put you at ease. A charming terracotta floor brightens the room with its red color and other old objects decorate the house.
The furnishings of the 2 bathrooms are certainly unusual, one has a shower carved from a stone and the second a Louis XVI style tub with feet. Hairdryer, towels and bed linen are included.
The bathroom also has additional heating for the winter
.On the mezzanine made entirely of wood, to be enjoyed barefoot, we find the open space double bedroom
A few steps from home (80 meters) there is a grocery store with fresh bread every day, the bar, the petrol station and the bus stop. at 1 km in the heart of Dolcedo you will find pizzerias, restaurants, banks, pharmacies, butchers' post offices. Reaching Dolcedo on foot by taking a relaxing walk along the river with the frog concert in the background makes you feel truly on holiday.
The beaches are 5 minutes away by car.
We wanted to revive the old barn, obtaining a unique, intimate, warm, welcoming, romantic, simple but refined, ancient almost magical environment.
To achieve this, we wanted to use all ancient recycled materials that transmit the experience, the history. Wood, iron and stone have been combined, strong, resistant materials, with a soul that changes and changes according to the time and the hand of man. Every single stone or piece of wood has been carefully wanted and searched, it took 2 years of effort and passion, absolutely rewarded by the satisfaction of seeing a dream come true.
An ancient wood stove heated the house in the winter months, now replaced with a very practical and warm pellet stove.


A FENE (R) A is an ideal place for romantics, for those who want to enjoy the tranquility of country life, for those who love the ancient hearth. But as well as being a warm and welcoming nest, the barn is also to be used as a strategic base by those who love hiking in the mountains or by fans of tanning and the sea because it is located near the sea and the mountains.
ideal for sportsmen who can climb our mountains on foot or by mountain bike, take long walks in the mountains, in the countryside or by the sea along the fabulous 30 km long cycle path that runs along the sea from S. lorenzo to Ospedaletti. Dolcedo is located near several places of strong historical and tourist interest such as sanremo, Dolceacqua, Mentone, Nice, Alassio, Genoa.

Wundervolles Häuschen
Tolles und liebevoll eingerichtetes Häuschen in einem Idyllischem Bergdorf mit guten Restaurants . Die Vermieterin hat uns einen Abend sogar herrlich bekocht. Alles vorhanden und sauber. Absolut empfehlenswert.

A stay never to forget!!!
Our Stay in this beautifully converted barn was fantastic. You are fully equipped and yet you sometimes have the feeling that the time has stood still for a while. Everthing is beautifully and tastefully decorated. In addition, the charming and very enthusiastic owner, Ester, is always there for you if necessary. What was also indicated in the description is that you have to climb a bit to get there. Both of us are 70 years old. My wife didn't have much trouble with it, but I have narrowing of the blood vessels in the legs and had to stop a few times. However, we are very happy that we rented this beautiful house. We had a very nice time here. Thanks again Ester.for this. Harry & José

Liebevolle und schöne Unterkunft in schöner Umgebung
Die Unterkunft ist liebevoll und sehr schön eingerichtet. Mit sehr gut ausgestatteter Küche. Die Lage in Isolalunga ist ebenso schön. Ester hat uns bereits bei unserer Ankunft an der Tankstelle erwartet, uns zum nahegelegenen Privatparkplatz geleitet und uns alles gezeigt. Sie hatte eine Schale mit Zitronen und Orangen (die sind gerade Ende Februar erntereif) für uns hingestellt, sowie eine Falsche Wasser und Prosecco im Kühlschrank. Es gibt für die kalte Jahreszeit einen Pelletofen, Wir haben die Ruhe genossen, viele Ausflüge mit den mitgebrachten Fahrrädern gemacht. Die Liebenswürdigkeit und Großherzigkeit von Ester hat uns zudem wohl getan. Von Herzen DANKE!

Tolles Haus
Wir haben ein tolles ruhiges und gemütliches Haus vorgefunden, mit allem was man benötigt. Das Parken und der Weg zum Haus war etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig und nix für jemanden der nicht gut zu Fuß ist. Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und uns wurde auch schnell und unkompliziert geholfen als wir Probleme mit der Gasfalsche hatten. Das Haus ist komplett eingerichtet, wir die sehr gerne kochen haben alles Erforderliche vorgefunden. Kühlschrank und Kühltruhe waren ausreichend groß und der Außengrill und der Pool war ebenfalls perfekt.

Idyllischer Aufenthalt
Das Häuschen hält alle Versprechungen und vermittelt auf Anhieb Ruhe und Gemütlichkeit. Alles ist sehr gepflegt und sauber, es fehlt nichts bei der Ausstattung. Die Vermieterin ist eine liebe, offene Frau zu der man sofort Vertrauen fasst. Die Lage des Hauses ist perfekt für Ausflüge in alle Richtungen, das Meer ist mit dem Auto einen Katzensprung entfernt und der Supermarkt liegt direkt auf dem Weg. In Dolcedo gibt es mehrere Restaurants, die wir alle wärmstens empfehlen können. Gute Pizzen, leckerer Fisch, Pastaberge. Unser Highlight war eine Radltour nach San Remo, die wir allen ans Herz legen. Am "Baia Salata" Strand gibt es einen ganz tollen Fahrradverleih "Prino Bike Rental", direkt am öffentlichen Parkplatz und die Fahrradstrecke beginnt dort auch. Herrliche Fahrt, direkt am Meer entlang... die Eisenbahnstrecke wurde zum Fahrradweg umgebaut. Mit dem eBike ganz leicht zu bewältigen.

Maison romantique mais pas hygiénique
Maison de type rustique et bien décorée (même un peu trop) avec tout le nécessaire (ustensiles, électroménager). La petite piscine était la bienvenue pour nous rafraîchir le soir car il faisait très chaud. Par contre l'hygiène du lit de la pièce à vivre laisse vraiment à désirer!!!. Oreillers et couvre lit jamais changés ni désinfectés. Ils ont une mauvaise odeur et mon mari a eu une allergie aux acariens, les moustiquaires ne sont pas désinfectées systématiquement après chaque location différente. Attention de bien demander un reçu en contre partie du versement de la caution , car Ester était réticente à le faire. Dommage car la maison est charmante.

Zurück zur Natur umgeben von Olivenhain und einem tollen Steinhaus
Das Steinhaus ist eine kleine Überraschung. Die liebe zum Detail und den Baumaterialien fallen erst auf den zweiten Blick auf, sind aber um so beeindruckender . Die Gastgeberin Ester stand uns mit Rat und Tat zur Seite und war immer erreichbar. Seien es Fragen zum gut essen gehen gewesen, oder wo man das beste Olivenöl bekommt, bis hin wo wann welcher Wochenmarkt ist. Wir haben eine tolle Zeit in dem liebevoll eingerichteten Steinhaus verbracht, tolle Wanderungen durch das Umland erlebt. Wir können es nur empfehlen und werden dieses Objekt auch wieder buchen. Danke für die Gastfreundschaft Ester. Euch alles Gute und man sieht sich wieder. LG Thilo und Burgi

Tolle Ausstattung!
Sehr nette Gastgeberin, Küche perfekt ausgestattet, gute Lage für Wanderungen im Val di Prino. Ausreichend Platz für zwei Personen, eine dritte Person wäre eher schwierig da Schlafbereiche nicht abgetrennt. Kurze Fußwege zum Einkaufen, Restaurants und Bar. Ein schöner Urlaub!

Sauber, best ausgestattete Küche, geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Geeignet für zwei Personen, da alles offen ist. Leider kein Fenster mit Aussicht. Aber wir waren viel in den Bergen beim Wandern und Aussicht genießen.

Ricercata e accogliente
La casa è pienamente corrispondente alla descrizione dell'annuncio, forse anche migliore. La proprietaria, Ester, è stata assolutamente cordiale e disponibile. Le uniche due perplessità che abbiamo avuto riguardavano l'assenza dei bidet e la cauzione un po' elevata, tuttavia, visto l'immobile abbiamo compreso le preoccupazioni dei proprietari che comunque sono stati assolutamente corretti. La consigliamo e potremmo tornarci.
