Description

The B&B Elfo degli ulivi is an enchanting place where you can relax surrounded by nature just a few kilometers from the coast. It's the perfect destination to combine mountain bike or hiking excursions with beautiful days spent at the most suggestive Ligurian beaches, such as Spotorno, Bergeggi, Noli, Varigotti, and Finale, all easily reachable in a few minutes by car. The facility offers a range of exclusive services, including a garden with chromatic effects, a fitness area, a solarium terrace, rooms equipped with hydromassage showers, TV, air conditioning, books, guides, and maps available to guests.

Breakfast

A delicious breakfast at the Elves' buffet,
Abundant buffet breakfast served by Katia and Gianni for a pleasant start to the day, supported by a local roasting coffee tasted and enjoyed under the olive trees of the Elves garden with a view of the valley until you see the island of Bergeggi in the distance
To start the day I choose a coffee, cappuccino, tea, fruit juice, to continue it with a smile.

Start a day of vacation with a generous and filling breakfast. Katia's homemade cakes and desserts, bread, simple or stuffed focaccia supplied by Uncle Marco's artisan bakery (See “Il Sentiero Del Pane, Orco Feglino), cheese, ham, eggs from their own hens, tomatoes grown behind the house, yoghurt, fresh fruit.

Hey from Gianni

Member since April 2021 | 6,928 hits

Katia and Gianni have been a couple in life for almost 40 years, two older children, Gaia and Luca, after a life spent on the market, have decided on the "Buen-Retiro" by creating around them a more intimate environment made up of interesting people and stories and stimulants.

Katia practices Yoga and Reiki, also for this reason in the evening a magical and relaxing atmosphere appears in the garden, Gianni recently became passionate about EBike and is slowly retracing the paths that they frequented on horseback years before.

Together they manage this activity entirely, from breakfasts to reception, from cleaning to small maintenance.

Extremely helpful host(my husband and I have a food intolerance and he went out of his way to ensure we could eat enough at breakfast) and friendly. Very welcoming property(beautiful plants, many flowers) and clean. Good quality bathroom kit. Lovely powerful shower. One suggestion: I would recommend blackout curtains to ensure more darkness in the room.

The answer from the host:
Grazie mille per le vostre parole e i vostri consigli. A richiesta, abbiamo mascherine per gli occhi, se ci aveste detto del vostro problema con le persiane, saremmo stati felici di proporvi questa soluzione. Grazie ancora per averci scelto e un caro saluto da tutti noi.

a room for two people

The hosts were very accommodating and pleasant. It was unusually clean; there were fly screens on the windows. We were just passing through. The breakfast appealed to us Germans too 😉, because there was fresh fruit and muesli as well as yogurt. Not too much, but a nice selection. The accommodation is located near the highway, which makes it suitable for a stop. Those looking to see the sea will not find it. But you sit under many beautiful olive trees and look at the mountains and villages. The elves can be perceived in the garden with colored lighting and soft music.

maurizio

Friendly, caring, very helpful managers. An environment that instills serenity from the moment of arrival, welcomed by the garden of olive trees and various plants overlooking the valley. Priceless, the experience of the sound massage with Tibetan bowls during the hydro massage session. We will return.

We stayed at Elfo degli Ulivi with our little dog Loki and the experience was simply wonderful. The property is surrounded by nature, in a quiet and panoramic location, ideal for relaxing and escaping from daily routine. The rooms are well-kept in detail, clean and cozy, with a fairytale atmosphere that makes the stay really special. One of the highlights is definitely the hospitality: the owners welcomed us with warmth and care, showing great sensitivity even towards four-legged guests. Loki felt right at home, welcomed with affection and free to explore the garden safely. He was able to enjoy the greenery, the silence, and the scents of the Ligurian countryside, always under the attentive and caring gaze of the hosts. The breakfast is delicious, with local products, served in a relaxing environment with a view of the olive trees. The garden and terrace are perfect for reading, meditating, or simply enjoying the silence of nature. We highly recommend Elfo degli Ulivi to anyone looking for relaxation, authenticity, and truly pet-friendly hospitality. We will definitely return, also for Loki's happiness!

We had a great time. The property is easy to reach, spotlessly clean, and comfortable. Perfect welcome, very family-like.

The structure is well-kept in detail both in terms of hospitality and furnishings. The special rooms (air, earth, and water) are newly furnished, as are their respective bathrooms, in which ours was equipped with an emotional shower. The garden is convenient for enjoying the surrounding space in peace, immersed in nature. Close to the Spotorno motorway exit heading north. Recommended for couples.

One of the best B&B experiences in Italy. The hosts were very accommodating to our request and the covid-19 measures were carefully taken to make sure that you feel safe. The rooms were cleaned spotless. I wish we could have stayed for more days. Highly recommend!
