Breakfast

Listen, if I could, I would prepare
a wonderful breakfast for you with
fresh fruit from the garden, I would
decorate the table with flowers, a
plate of exquisite cheese and
smoked ham, and figs stolen from
our neighbour's garden. …
… You will be served by the landlady herself, dressed in white. She will make you feel fresh and light and if you closed your eyes, you would notice a whiff of lavender. Sorry, I will now serve your coffee right away..“.

What guests say

Guests highlight the historical charm of the property, outstanding cleanliness, and the warm hospitality of the host, Doris. Breakfast is generous, with fresh, homemade products often served on the terrace or in the garden surrounded by greenery. The location is peaceful yet conveniently close to the sea and town amenities. The B&B is particularly suitable for travelers with pets and those seeking a relaxing, authentic experience. Some reviews mention that access can be tricky to find and less suitable for people with mobility issues, but overall, the value for money is rated highly.

Once you pass through the door, you enter another world: a charming house with its ceiling frescoes, its history, a shaded terrace for breakfast, a beautiful and tranquil garden. And what can I say about the breakfast, which was incredible: hearty with fresh products, homemade and very beautiful dishes. Doris is an excellent host, attentive and with good advice. Thank you again.

Historic and very comfortable accommodation. Mrs. Doris is a very kind, helpful, and friendly host. Abundant and homemade breakfast. Two minutes by car from the large free parking in Pietra Ligure to access the center and the beaches. Highly recommended.

Doris is a great host. She made a fire when we got back every night, showed us around, and made a great breakfast (for all the virtues of Italian cuisine, they often do not apply to breakfast). We had two dogs, one of them a puppy, and the fenced-in garden and the bedroom on a separate floor were perfect for bringing pets. The place is conveniently located to explore the coast and the valley, which is an important consideration in Liguria, which is not always easy to get around. We came in the winter and could not enjoy the outside areas as much, but they are surely great once you can sit outside starting, say, late March. There are three good restaurants nearby, and Doris will make a reservation for you, highly recommended. There is a Michelin starred restaurant, Equilibrio, half an hour's drive away which we warmly recommend (before it gets a second star and you pay double and have to reserve months in advance). Most recommended for visitors with dogs that want to combine hiking, relaxing, and exploring the gems of the riviera.

The answer from the host:
Grazie mille per le parole così lusinghiere. E’ stato un grande piacere aver fatto la vostra conoscenza e ringrazio nuovamente per essere passato da noi. Appena posso, andrò a mangiare al Equilibrio! Vi auguro un buon Anno e spero di rivedervi. Cordialmente Doris

Great for those who want to spend a weekend by the sea, but inside, on the first hill, where peace is the top.

A small and delightful gem, with an ancient flavor managed by Ms. Doris, a kind, attentive, and helpful owner. The structure is easily reachable a few km from the sea and the hustle and bustle of the "ferragostiano" period.

On the occasion of the Borgio Verezzi Theater Festival, we had the opportunity to stay in this delightful 1600s residence maintained in excellent condition. High level of cleanliness and modernized services. Comfortable bed. Rich breakfast with tastings of local products, some of which were prepared by the host. Jams, butter, fruit, yogurt, various types of fragrant sandwiches, focaccia, and cake in addition to fruit juices, tea, and coffee are served in a bucolic and happily romantic setting on the terrace-bridge that connects the house to the garden below. Colorful plants and flowers frame the breakfast by peeking out from supports, vases, and suspended baskets all around, bringing additional serenity and relaxation. The particular check-in and check-out times are much appreciated, making guests' arrivals and departures more peaceful, especially in case of travel mishaps. A small note. It is not very easy to find Casa Nobile, as the delicate sign indicating it is not very visible when passing by. It is worth mentioning that access to such beauty may not be too easy for people with mobility issues as the staircase, though direct, has a decent slope, like many of the historic buildings in Liguria. Warm greetings to the friendly Vanessa, a good support from the owner Mrs. Doris in the relationship with the guests. P.S. I do not want my full name and personal data to be shown. If the review is published, you can use: mi. lu. Thank you.

Two-story house immersed in greenery with a beautiful garden and terrace on the upper floor. Wide and open view, the owner and the girl who welcomed us were very kind and helpful. Breakfast with many local products very good and plentiful. Highly recommended for a peaceful stay.

We stayed with our little dog in this wonderful establishment. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the very kind Doris who made us feel immediately at ease. We were impressed not only by the cleanliness, but above all by the care with which every single object was placed in the room. A style that makes you forget for a moment the hectic life we are subjected to and immerses you in another dimension. Upon awakening, a plentiful breakfast awaited us with fresh and 0 km products such as the delicious jams made with the fruits from their own garden, served with great care. Congratulations for the dedication, availability, and cheerfulness of the owner Doris.

A wonderful place! It felt like being in another era and living a dream! Everything is taken care of in the smallest detail, with passion and love. Superlative breakfast with very fresh products and authentic flavors. Vanessa is a delightful person! And Mrs. Doris, whom I did not personally meet, seemed very kind and helpful. Definitely a place I will return to.

It was very nice to be hosted by Doris. A woman from another era, with an incredible attention to detail. I recommend it because you sleep well, breakfast is served outside in a very magical place, and you feel at home. Beautiful experience!

I had a great time. The property is a little gem, a step back in time that I really appreciated. Welcoming, the manager and staff were very kind and helpful. I also really appreciated the quality of the products offered for breakfast, which were rich and varied. The inner garden was another surprise. Full of flowers and fruit plants. Congratulations to those who work hard to provide excellent service.

Aside from a small inconvenience with the reservation, we had a great time. We went with two dogs. Doris, the owner, welcomed them without worries, even the 65 kg dog. She spoiled us with her homemade jams and provided us with the barbecue on the terrace. We had a great time.
