Description

Looking for peace and relaxation? Like to take long walks through an unspoilt natural environment? Then Casa Aquetico is the ideal place for your holiday. The holiday apartment is located in the Arroscia valley, well known for the Cucina Bianca. The valley is only about twenty-five kilometers from the attractive coastal resort of Imperia in the small mountain village of Aquetico belonging to Pieve di Teco. The apartment extends over two floors, offering ample room for up to five people. A spacious and comfortable kitchen / living-room with sofa bed, as well as a fireplace and a balcony, are located in the first floor. On the second floor there is a double bedroom, and a single bedroom with sofa bed, as well as a large bathroom. From the balcony on the second floor you can take in the glorious mountain views, and relax with a good book or a glass of wine. Relaxation, pure and simple, is yours for the asking.

location details: Pieve di Teco


The name of this town, which is situated at the confluence of the Giara di Rezzo and Arroscia rivers, is composed of "Plebs" (community, church on which other rural churches depend) and "Theicos" (an ancient Celtic deity). Founded at the junction of many "salt roads" between Liguria and Piemont, the parish became the centre of the feudal organisation of the valley and, after passing into the hands of the Genoese in 1385, it was an outpost for defence against the Savoys. The castle and the town, which has preserved its slate portals and Gothic porticoes along the old market street, date back to 1232. The fifteenth-century church of Santa Maria della Ripa, with a Gothic bell tower and portal, was once the parish church, while the grandiose collegiate church of San Giovanni Battista, which was planned by Gaetano Canone and built in the early nineteenth century, preserves some precious works, including sculptures from the Maragliano school and paintings by Giulio Benso and Domenico Piola. Two works by Maragliano are also to be seen in the oratory of Santi Giovanni Battista e Sebastiano (1234).


Above the monastery of San Francesco (seventeenth century), which overlooks the town, you will find the large stretch of woodland called the Bosco dei Cappuccini, where you can see some centuries-old trees. The former Augustinian monastery is situated at the beginning of the road to Colle di Nava.
The old castle was destroyed in 1625 in the conflict between Genoa and the Savoys. Its place is now taken by the Augustinian monastery complex, now used as a civic theatre. All that remains of the manor house is a sixteenth-century black stone bas-relief. The town is the departure-point for numerous excursions along the ancient roads through the mountain passes towards the nearby Pennavaira and Tanara Valleys and towards the higher pasture lands. The main local products are superior-quality olive oil and Ormeasco wine. The traditional handicraft shoe-making trade is now dying out.

Die Wanderungen in den alpinen Landschaften sind ein besonderes Erlebnis. Die nahen Küstenstädte mit ihren Badestränden haben ihren ganz besonderen Reiz. Die Eigentümer der Wohnung sind sehr freundlich und haben uns am Anreisetag mit Blumen und Kaffee begrüßt. Wir erhielten Kartenmaterial, damit wir die Umgebung erkunden konnten, sowie Ratschläge, was besonders sehenswert ist. Am Abend vor unserer Abreise haben sie uns zu einem selbst zubereiteten Abendessen eingeladen. Wir hatten dabei einen sehr interessanten Abend, bei dem wir uns mit Hilfe von Wörterbüchern gut verständigen konnten. Die Wohnung selbst hat für uns keine Wünsche offen gelassen.

Keine, Alles ist perfekt. Ein Sonnenschirm auf der Terrasse währe von Vorteil. Baden im Gebirgsbach zwischen Ponte di Nava und Pornassino Weiter so!

Für jeder ist was schönes dabei. Wir waren schon Mehrmahls im Italien, aber so ein tolles Urlaub hatten wir noch nie! Schönes Wetter und Natur gehören im Italien zum Standard, aber solche Menschen wie unser Gastgeber sind unbezahlbar. Ein wahres Goldschatz. So freundlich und hilfsbereit waren wir noch nie aufgenommen. Auch die Leute im Dorf und Nachbarschaft sehr nett, offen und herzlich. Dankt die allen tollen Leuten hatten wir eine Möglichkeit Echte Liegurien kennenlernen. Nicht nur aus langweilige und immer gleiche Hotel Sicht. Noch mall Herzlich Dank dafür. Wir werden uns bald bestimmt wieder sehen.

Hm, Kamin, Whirlpool-Badewanne, zwei Balkone, eine Küche mit Herd und Kühlschrank... uns hat nichts gefehlt. Mittelalterfeste besuchen, zB Ventimiglia (sehr gut!!) Albenga besichtigen, Wandern in den Umgebenden Bergen. Unbedingt Wanderkarten der Umgebung Aquetico organisieren.

Da stimmte alles, Ausstattung war von hoher Qualität und stimmig.
