apartment Agriturismo - Imperia - Chiusanico (Gazzelli) - Primo Bacio 1

Primo Bacio 1

Agriturismo in a small picturesque olive and wine village
Swimming-pool

max. occupancy: 4 persons

Description

Surrounded by lush vineyards and olive groves, the Agriturismo Primo Bacio sits, dreamily romantic and remote, in the town of Gazzelli; it appears indeed to have been completely preserved in the middle ages. The name of the house translates as First Kiss, and it has recently been renovated and furnished in typical Ligurian style with very appealing pine furnishings. In the Vigna at the entrance to the village is the sunning area for Primo Bacio guests, equipped with a fine grill. Olive oil and wine can easily be had direct from the resident Agricoltori, or farmers.
There is also a large shared swimming pool available for use.

location details: Chiusanico


The ancient town of Chiusanico lies on a ridge, where oak and chestnut woods alternate with hills covered with olive groves. According to a tradition that is corroborated by some researchers, this was the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, although there is no general agreement among historians.


During mediaeval times, Chiusanico was the main centre in the Monte Arosio territory, which was dominated by the Clavesana family.Some portals and buildings at Castello date back to the thirteenth century, such as the single-nave church of San Lorenzo. The church of Santo Stefano dates from later times and still has some splendid eighteenth-century polychrome marble work; it was rebuilt in neo-classical style by the architect Gaetano Cantoni. Inside the church, you can admire a painting of Santo Stefano by Giulio De Rossi (1579).


The masterpiece of Chiusanico, however, is to be found in the parish church of Gazzelli: this is a priceless painting attributed to Domenico Piola showing the Virgin Mary visiting Elisabeth (early seventeenth century).


Torria also offers some works of art that are well worth seeing: the drinking-trough beneath a sixteenth-century loggia, a bas-relief dated 1477 in the parish church of San Martino, the oratory of the Disciplinati della Santissima Annunziata and the sanctuary of the Madonna della Neve. This district is the venue for a biennial photography competition; the sports complex is equipped for fencing competitions. You can take the path leading from an ancient stone wash-house in Torria and make your way up to the sanctuary of the Madonna della Neve and, passing through the woods, continue on to the San Giacomo pass and Monte Arosio. The industrial and commercial municipality of Chiusanico is well known for its superior quality olive oil and its classic Pigato and Vermentino wines.


location details: Gazzelli

Picturesque mountain town nestled in between vineyards and olive groves. In Gazzelli is a wonderful "Visitation", who was painted by Domenico Piola. She was originally painted for the pilgrimage church Madonna degli Angeli, which lies somewhat isolated south of the town, but is now to be seen in the church San Andrea.

La terrasse nous a manqué, sinon la terrasse près de la piscine était sympatique

Everything was fantastic. Vinyard in Sarola (fantastic people and exquisite wine), beach parties in Imperia Oneglia, trip to Monaco and Cannes. Thank you:)

Huis was klein, en de slaapbank nam erg veel ruimte in beslag zodat je hem s\'ochtends steeds weer in moest klappen. Handiger inklapbaar systeem? Het inklappen ging moeilijk Electrisch Gas fornuis maakt sluiting als je het gas wil aaknippen met de knop, bloedlink zekering vliegt er zelf uit. Nice, San Remo, Monaco, Turijn (egyptisch museum!) Al de bergdorpjes in de omgeving, kan echter gevaarlijk zijn als de wolken laag hangen, en omdat er soms stenen van de bergen afrollen. Het heksendorpje Triora is echt heel mooi

Für Gäste von Primo Baggio 1 bis 3 könnte am Pool eine Toilette installiert werden, damit man nicht jedes Mal ins Dorf zurücklaufen muss. Bitte einen Hinweis anbringen, dass es im Dorf rein gar nichts gibt. Also auch nicht eine klizekleine Kaffeebar oder ein kleines Lebensmittelgeschäft, wo man zumindest frisches Brot u. ä. kaufen könnte!

Liebes Team, Es hat uns sehr viel Spaß gemacht im Primo Bacio 1 in Gazelli. Wir haben zwei herrliche und ruhige Wochen erlebt und trotzdem auch noch viel unternommen in der Umgebung. Von Ihnen aus war auch alles sehr gut geregelt. Wir werden es Freunden weitersagen. Nochmals recht vielen Dank! Maria und Louis Seelen Venlo, Niederlande
