Stone Charming Villa 150 sq.m, 6 km From The Beaches, SPA, Gorgeous BBQ Area

What makes this special is the chance to rent both this house and Villa La Maclura—adjacent but completely separate—at the same time. A rare opportunity (but not an obligation!) in Liguria, a region that is not very flat and doesn't have many large open spaces because it's squeezed between the sea and the mountains, but it's full of stunning locations. Our property is one of these. So, friends and family can all gather—only when they choose—to fully enjoy this corner of paradise with all its wonders. Just like us during family times.
The recent restoration of the house has been a labor of love, focusing on reusing materials such as stone discovered under the old plaster, original terracotta paving, and chestnut wood for the ceilings. This unique blend of materials, combined with our meticulous attention to detail, creates an unforgettable, charming atmosphere. You'll always find tranquility in the house despite its proximity to downtown and distance from the summer bustle. The house is part of the private Borgo, with its first documented history dating back to 1522, and is nestled on the grounds of an ancient castle. It consists of three country houses: Villa la Maclura, Il Gombo, and a private house for our family. Each house features a pool, garden, chill-out area, BBQ, entrance, and parking space. The villa boasts three bedrooms, two bathrooms, one lounge, one lounge-diner, one smaller lounge/bedroom with total privacy, one large kitchen, and one utility room, spread over two levels (150 sq m). The villa's ground floor and first floor are exclusively for guests. At the same time, my husband, Riccardo, and I will stay in the attic of this house from time to time, but especially during the high season, to provide you with steady yet discreet assistance with all your needs, including garden maintenance, pool monitoring, irrigation, and appliance maintenance.
We recently installed air conditioning in the south bedrooms on the first floor for your comfort. The north bedroom has a large, elegant ceiling fan with wooden blades. We have also fitted all bedroom windows with mosquito nets to ensure a peaceful and undisturbed sleep.
Outside, you'll find a BBQ on the terrace garden at the ground floor level, perfect for al fresco dining. There's another BBQ in the large garden below, just a stone's throw from the private (exclusively for you) SPA. The outdoor area is fully equipped with comfortable garden furniture, inviting you to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
PLEASE NOTE
*Due to technical reasons, bookings between March 31 and May 17, 2026, must be made seven days in advance.
*Villa La Nicchia is part of a single property, the ancient Borgo of the family castle; it includes three detached but nearby houses and is 5.5 km from the center of Alassio. You can reach it via a typical Ligurian road with two lanes and multiple curves, except for the last 1.2 km, which is narrower due to the terrain.
*The SPA, a private and relaxing feature, is generally unavailable from late October to late March/mid-April because the heating pump cannot warm the water to 30° if outside temperatures are below 15°, especially at night. However, we encourage you to ask about the current status, as climate change and recent unusual weather patterns may influence SPA availability in spring.
*Reading and observing the house rules are part of the rental agreement. You will receive both before your arrival.
*We are flexible on many matters, especially regarding the two additional fees you pay as you go. One is the additional fee for good LPG heating (1), which we cannot estimate in advance. We will calculate the consumption together on the morning of departure; the cost is likely to be around €5.50 per m³.
The other concerns the final cleaning fee (2), which is not shown in the website payment summary because it depends on the number of guests and the number of nights stayed. The minimum fee is €100, and the maximum is €160, payable on the morning of departure. The Tourist Tax is €1.50 per person per night. For your information, the Alassio Municipality has decided that tourist tax payments are only accepted from the property owner, not via any booking platform.
*Check-in is available from 4:00 p.m.; check-out is by 9:30 a.m.
During your stay at this villa, you'll be within walking distance of Hanbury Tennis Club. Enjoy features like an indoor pool, a water park and 1 hot tub. The villa offers free WiFi and a private pool.

Elisa and her husband Riccardo are such lovely people. This house is literally perched atop the most beautiful Mediterranean seaside mountain. Incredible views and really lovely accommodations made this trip one to remember. Elisa was kind enough to make reservations all over the region for us (do take her up on this, all her choices were excellent). It was the perfect end to an unforgettable European vacation.

It is clear that Elisa and Ricardo have invested their love into this property. The interior was renewed and crafted into a lovely building and a place to enjoy. The exterior grill and pizza oven area and landscaping are stunning the warm soaking pool is very unique. There are ceiling fans (unheard of in Europe) in the bedrooms and also window screens!!!! Unfortunately, these are the only screened windows. The lower windows would provide a welcome flow of air. Elisa has thoughtfully placed the operation manuals for all appliances adjacent to the item for “how to operate” each device. Evening and morning views of the Mediterranean are to be cherished. Near by is a lovely trattoria for eating extremely well prepared meals. The road up to the retreat indeed a driving challenge for those inexperienced with driving in Italy. Only the last 20% is to be driven with extreme caution. Just be careful on the corners and there is NO PROBLEM. You should know that contrary to the listing there is only 1 shower. The upstairs bathroom has a bathtub with a hand held shower wand. We ended up sharing the downstairs shower which was very good. The photo of the house is deceptive. It does not properly reflect that there is another home/rental 4 meters to the left and Elisa and Ricardo have another rental home 10 meters to the right. If privacy and solo access to the property is a concern, you should ask before renting. We were luckily the only occupants.

A paradise in the hills above alassio

The house and property drew us in and we simply didn’t want to leave.The pool is ideal on hot sunny days as it is tucked away in a grotto of sorts. You are able to swim all day in the shade without being cooked by the sun. This was especially nice for our 2 year old. The patio next to the pool is filled with new patio furniture to relax on. The adjacent yard was perfect for kids to run and play in.All the mattress in the house are new and very comfortable. The kitchen has every type of implement you could need. House was very clean and welcoming. We felt at home as soon as we arrived.We are already making plans to return.

Perfect house in the hills not too far from town/beach

Two families stayed the long weekend here with 3 kids 10, 10, 8. It was beautiful and well kept, perfect little gem with a big property, covered semi heated pool and all the things you need in the kitchen. We enjoyed the sun, pool, gorgeous outdoor dinners and view. Very cool indoors at night. The host was so welcoming and booked us dinner 5 min away one night. Alassio is 15 min away down the windy road so convenient enough for a beach day and shopping in town. Easy parking. Just a perfect vacation spot. Wish we could have stayed longer. One thing to note, it wasn’t advised to use the pizza oven in a short stay but totally fine for a longer stay. Highly recommend.

Alassio 2022 trip

This house has a 1 million $ view. Every morning we had breakfast outside with the view on the hills and the Mediterranean see. The house has everything. Full kitchen equipment if you like cooking. There was a separate dining room with lounge chairs in front of the fire place and a nice Livingroom upstairs. Beds were very comfortable. Once again we were in love with the location and the house and the owners Elisa and Riccardo were doing everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We definitely recommend this house and hope to return one day!

Very special

Of all the places we stayed on our European vacation, this villa was the most beautiful and memorable. My family of 4 felt so at home and enjoyed the spa and comfortable rooms. As an interior designer, I felt like I was living in an Italian Country magazine. The hosts were so friendly and had the best suggestions for food, Alassio and Genoa. I will never forget this place.

A wonderful holiday escape

The property itself is absolutely stunning, so much so that we spent most of our stay at the house enjoying the sun down by the pool! The views are breathtaking and add to the magic of the place, especially eating breakfast looking out over the sea. Everything was beautifully clean and felt like a home away from home. We only ventured down into the neighbouring town a few times but we were impressed by the abundance of restaurants and shops by the seafront. There is also an amazing pizza place 5 minutes drive from the house! We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this propert :)

We loved the stay in this villa. Very clean, everything to use . Super view from the terrace near the house and at the swimming pool you can make pizza or use the big bbq. You dont need to go somewhere just stay and relax! We loved the swimming pool with starheaven light.

Quaint property with a great view.

From reading reviews and looking at photographs of the property was very much as we expected. The owners Ricardo and Elisa were very accommodating, pleasant and helpful. It was very hot when we were there and the covered spa was a very nice and a big relief from the heat during the day. The only issue we had was that the house was very hot at night and we would have liked to have had some fans in the bedrooms to help us sleep better. Alsssio as a town was very crowded and parking was very difficult. Elisa did give us some very useful hints about where to go to avoid the crowds. A nearby restaurant just down the hill, recommended by Elisa was fabulous.

Perfekter Aufenthalt im Traumhaus mit Aussicht

Wir verbrachten unsere Ferien im schönen und wunderbar eingerichteten Haus. Es ist nicht nur geschmacksvoll eingerichtet sondern auch praktisch, sauber und es fehlte an nichts! Die Aussicht ist atemberaubend und der gepflegte Garten, lädt mit kleinem Pool und Liegestühlen zum entspannen ein. Es gibt 2 Grillplätze für schöne Abende zu Hause. Das Haus ist exakt 10 Autominuten vom Centro entfernt. In der Nähe gibt es ein tolles Restaurant und einen kleinen Laden mit frischen Brötchen. Die Besitzerin ist sehr nett und steht für alle Fragen und Informationen zur Verfügung und ist super organisiert. Uns wurde auch eine Garage im Centro zur Miete Angeboten, was in der Hochsaison zu empfehlen ist. Ich würde das Haus sofort wieder mieten und empfehle es gerne weiter. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt und wünschen Elisa und Ihrer Familie nur das Beste.

Tolles Haus, aber Autofahren muss man lieben

Das Haus war wunderbar, genügend Platz für alle (wir waren 2 Familien mit je einem Kind), schöner Garten, Mini-Pool unterm Dach und feiner Terrasse. Wir hätten nur gerne gewusst, dass keine hundert Meter entfernt eine Event-Location ist, von der man - besonders am Wochenende - bis früh in den Morgen beschallt wird, sodass man jedes einzelne Lied mitsingen kann - so laut und deutlich ist alles zu hören, da dies ein Talkessel ist. Leider ist die Strasse zum Haus sehr schlecht ausgebaut, sodass man abends keine Lust hat, nochmal nach Alassio zu fahren (20 Minuten!) um dort Abend zu essen oder die Atmosphäre im Ort zu genießen. Wenn, dann muss immer einer nüchtern bleiben, denn die Straße verlangt einem alles an Konzentration ab (sehr eng, miserabler Zustand, ständig in der Angst, dass einem in der nächsten unübersichtlichen Kurve ein Auto reinfährt). Wenn wir das alles gewusst hätten, hätten wir uns gegen das Haus entschieden. Zu Fuss ist leider nichts bewältigbar, weder zum Strand, noch zum Bäcker oder um abends noch etwas Trinken zu gehen. Es wäre auch viel zu gefährlich, zu Fuß zu gehen. Sogar die Einheimischen machen dies nur in Leuchtbekleidung. Die Gastgeberin ist nett, hilft einem auch mit Reservierungen, wenn gewünscht. Wer also die Ruhe (untertags) sucht und abends nicht weggehen will, ist hier genau richtig!

Eine traumhafte Urlaubswoche

Der wunderschöne Blick zu jeder Tageszeit - schon morgens aus dem Fenster, beim Frühstück von der Terrasse, vom Pool durch die Steinbögen usw. - ist einfach unvergesslich! Die Umgebung ist genauso schön. Das Haus ist harmonisch restauriert, detailreich und durchdacht ausgestattet und hat Charakter. Die Betten waren super, wir hatten genug Platz, zwei Bäder usw. Uns fehlte es an nichts zu Wohlfühlen. Elisa reservierte für uns für den ersten Abend im traumhaften Restaurant ein paar Gehminuten entfernt. Wir genossen das Grillen direkt an der Terrasse und als Highlight das Pizzabacken in der herrlichen Außenküche. Der Pool - mit Musikanlage und sogar zuschaltbarem Wasserfall - war unsere Erfrischungs-, Ruhe- oder Geselligkeits-Oase - je nach Bedarf. Bei einem Gewitter am Abend verlegten wir unsere Kniffel-Spiel-Runde ins gemütliche Haus. Der Strand-Tipp von Elisa und das Essen in Laugueglia waren super und die Ausflüge nach Albenga ins historische Altstadtgetümmel oder die beiden Ortsteile von Imperia (Shopping/Cafe, Häfen, Strand, Altstadt und abermals gutes Essen!) - wir genossen alles sehr. Vielen Dank Elisa und Riccardo
