Out of the noise and rush of town, escape to the countryside and soak up the idyllic Italian life, chatting dialect with the oldies in their gardens overlooking the Mediterranean. Surrounded by forest and orchards, immerse yourself in the beautiful views, get out riding on the best of Finale's MTB tracks, hike, climb the Via Ferrata or any of the thousands of dedicated climbing routes, or just relax and unwind.
Our 3 bedroom apartment is situated in Bardino, amongst Matteo's traditional family land where we grow our own olive oil, vegetables, firewood, and honey.
On-site we have a dedicated Bike workshop, bike wash, bike storage and cellar. Thre is ample car parking and also space for large vehicles if you come in a camper or race team vehicle. Please do advise us beforehand though as the roads in Liguria are narrow and we’ll advise which way to drive.
There are two bathrooms in the apartment, complete kitchen and an outdoor terrace with the most spectacular 360 degree view over the neighbouring gardens and mountains where the MTB tracks are situated, all the way down to the sparkling Mediterranean coast.
Even though we are situated in the countryside, you are actually closer to the famous MTB tracks than staying in town. We are situated just above the end of Rollercoaster, Tobogga di Canova and the tracks that finish in Isallo Valley - Revenant, Isallo ecstasy and Fast and Furious.
In Bardino is the imfamous Ristorante Bosio that you definitely would have eaten at if you've done a MTB Shuttle Tour from Finale. There is also a pizzeria, a hairdresser and two dairies where you can get coffee, and all the tasty Italian treats that you came to Italy to eat! Proscuitto, formaggio, brioche, breakfast pizza, wines and fresh veges grown locally.
We are situated in Bardino, Tovo San Giacomo, 17020, Italy

Our olive trees are over 100 years old and have been passed down from Matteo’s grandfather Iose who was the master gardener and caretaker of our land. The olive trees produce all of our family’s olive oil.
