What guests say
Guests consistently praise the property’s unique character and authentic charm, highlighted by its hilltop location with stunning valley views. The peaceful setting is ideal for relaxation yet remains conveniently close to the sea and outdoor activities like hiking and biking. The hosts are described as very welcoming and helpful, and the property is clean and well-equipped. The large panoramic garden is a favorite, though not fully enclosed for pets. Some minor details were noted, such as the fridge size for longer stays, but overall, the accommodation is highly recommended for a tranquil and authentic Ligurian experience away from the crowds.

The Sbilenca is truly a magical place for us: this is already the second time we have returned. It is located not far from the sea but on a hill, so it benefits from a much cooler climate than the coast. The village, and specifically the location of the house itself, is enviable, with a breathtaking view over the Calice valley.
The house is equipped with all comforts, with abundant supplies, and has a really charming decor. The library corner is an absolute gem.
Highly recommended!

The answer from the host:
Ciao Simone e Eli! 💙 Che bello leggere queste parole, grazie di cuore! È stato un piacere immenso riavervi qui, stavolta con tutta la ciurma, genitori e gatto compresi. Sapere che la nostra struttura è diventata un "posto magico" per il vostro gruppo familiare ci fa letteralmente "ballare di gioia" (e voi ne sapete qualcosa!). Avete azzeccato in pieno lo spirito del posto: stare quassù, nel fresco e nel silenzio dell'entroterra ligure, è una goduria pazzesca per una vacanza in famiglia, soprattutto perché il mare resta comunque a due passi. Felicissimi che vi siano piaciuti il panorama sulla valle di Calice Ligure, lo stile della casa e la nostra amata biblioteca (una vera chicca anche per noi!). Ci teniamo un sacco a offrire una casa vacanze accogliente, pet-friendly e comoda per tutte le età... e sapere che vi siete sentiti a casa è davvero la soddisfazione più grande. Vi aspettiamo per la prossima fuga di relax, che sia alla Sbilenca o alla Sbilenchina! Un caro saluto, Ilaria

La Sbilenchina is a small, perfect and essential space, where essential means the essence of slow living, surrounded by beauty and peace.

The answer from the host:
Cara Antonella, Grazie di cuore per queste parole, che mi hanno fatto davvero sorridere. È stato un piacere conoscerti di persona e chiacchierare con te — si sente che chi arriva alla Sbilenchina cerca proprio quello spazio di lentezza e di pace che l'entroterra di Calice Ligure sa regalare, tra il verde, il silenzio e la vicinanza alla Rocca di Perti e ai sentieri che si snodano tra le colline, a pochi chilometri dal mare di Finale Ligure. "Essenza del vivere lento" è forse la definizione più bella che abbia mai ricevuto per questa casa, e la terrò con me. Sono felice che il giardino e La Sbilenchina abbiano saputo restituirti quella sensazione di bellezza semplice che cerco di custodire in ogni dettaglio. Spero di rivederti presto da queste parti — magari con una nuova stagione da scoprire, tra passeggiate, aria buona e qualche altra bella chiacchierata. A presto, Ilaria

I recently spent a truly pleasant stay at La Sbilenca, a holiday home unique in its kind, immersed in the most authentic Liguria. From the first moment you can tell that this is not just any accommodation, but a place designed for those looking for tranquility, comfort and character. The location is strategic: set in the greenery of Calice Ligure, it allows you to reach the beaches of Finale Ligure and Varigotti in a few minutes by car, while at the same time it is perfect for those who enjoy outdoor activities such as trekking, mountain biking and climbing, thanks to the proximity to the Rocca di Perti. The house, converted from a former monastery renovated with great care, retains an authentic charm combined with modern and functional solutions. The rooms are spacious, bright and tastefully furnished; the kitchen is well equipped and the living area is welcoming and ideal even for longer stays or in company. One of the real strengths is the large panoramic garden, well kept and enjoyable, perfect for relaxing, reading or dining outdoors. The view of the surrounding nature and the Rocca di Perti gives a rare sense of peace, especially at sunset. Also noteworthy is the attention to pets, which are welcomed without problems. Overall, La Sbilenca is the ideal place for those who want to truly disconnect, experience Liguria away from hectic tourism, but without giving up the convenience of the sea and nearby services. An authentic, relaxing and absolutely recommended stay, to which you will want to return.

The house is very nice, small, comfortable and welcoming, with everything you need and also small touches that you do not always find. Ilaria, the owner, is a very kind and helpful woman. She supported and helped me when I needed it. I recommend this magical property that fills the heart with so much beauty and attention to detail.

We spent two weeks at Sbilenca with our dog and we felt very good. Ilaria, the owner of the house, was always very kind and super available for every need. The location is high and allows for complete relaxation. The garden does not have proper fences, so you need to be careful with a pet. The fridge is a bit small and for long stays, it forces you to shop almost daily to have enough space. Cleaning, check-in, check-out all regular.

The house is very unique, cozy with a very personal taste. The view is beautiful even though you cannot see the sea. I recommend. The owner is very efficient, helpful, and kind. Small suggestion: a mosquito net on the entrance door.

We had a wonderful time, a place full of charm in a lovely spot, sheltered from the great chaos but close to the coast. A sunny garden just for us, a very attentive management even in the details and caring. A spotless and organized house. Great for walking and biking and for climbing. We will definitely return.

We found a little gem among the hills. Strategic location to reach various points of interest. A super suitable place for those who want to stay away from the chaos and relax. View over the green hills amidst dragonflies and butterflies. Excellent position of the garden for practicing yoga with a view. Only the first night we had trouble sleeping due to the heat and insects but with some precautions we solved it and slept very well in the following days. Thanks to Ilaria who was available at any time for doubts and questions, always very kind and helpful! Thanks also to Maura who made the house perfectly clean!
