Description
Nestled in the greenery of the Ligurian hinterland, Il Lupo e il filosofo B&B welcomes its guests in a recently renovated establishment where comfort, nature, and tranquility harmoniously come together. Located in Pontinvrea, it is just a short distance from major hiking trails and only twenty minutes from the sea, making it the perfect choice for those looking to balance outdoor adventures with relaxation on the beaches of the Riviera, returning each evening to a serene and rejuvenating atmosphere.
The B&B was born from the host Veronica's desire to embrace a more authentic and leisurely lifestyle that is deeply connected to the local area. For years, she has been dedicated to promoting this region, rich in natural charm and traditions, and warmly welcomes guests with attentiveness and readiness to share tips and experiences that allow them to fully immerse themselves in the essence of the place.
The bed and breakfast is situated right along the path leading to the famous Forti del Giovo and is near the remains of Castel Delfino, linked to an intriguing legend told through a dedicated artistic trail. The area is also crossed by the routes of the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri and falls within the Beigua Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, providing endless opportunities for hiking, trekking, and outdoor activities. Just a few minutes away, guests can find horse riding facilities, a public swimming pool, and the town's sports area, along with trattorias and local eateries to discover the finest flavors of Ligurian cuisine. The beaches of Albissola and Varazze, as well as the city of Savona with its marina and historic center, are easily accessible within about twenty minutes by car.
Il Lupo e il filosofo B&B features well-appointed and cozy rooms, each equipped with a private bathroom that includes a bidet, toiletries, and a hairdryer. Guests can enjoy complimentary WiFi, a big garden and a terrace overlooking the mountains, and convenient on-site private parking. Each morning, a buffet Italian-style breakfast is served, prepared to start the day with flavor and simplicity, featuring genuine aromas and local products.
