Description
Ca' Bianca B&B is located in upper Tuscany. At the foot of the Apuan Alps and a few minutes from the sea, approximately 4 km from the picturesque medieval village of Fosdinovo, considered the "gateway to the south" to Lunigiana.

Ca' Bianca B&B is a completely renovated house, surrounded by olive groves, oaks and fruit trees.

It is in a strategic position: halfway up the hill, surrounded by greenery and peace, with a splendid panorama looking from Livorno to the mouth of the Magra river.

It is easily reachable from Sarzana, just 2 km away, from Carrara, approximately 15 km away, and Massa, 20 km away. It is also a few kilometers from the magnificent Lerici, Tellaro and Fiascherino, just 15 minutes from the city of La Spezia, half an hour from Portovenere and the renowned and spectacular Cinque Terre.

For those who love fun it is just a few kilometers from Versilia. On the motorway in about an hour by car you can reach Genoa or Florence or Parma, Pisa or Lucca in more or less 40 minutes.

We offer our guests:
- 3 large bedrooms each with private bathroom;
- Internal fenced parking;
- Barbecue, wood oven and space for grilling;
- Complete kitchen, in a structure adjacent to the main house, and shared with the other guests
- Free WiFi.

- Hammocks and sun loungers
Ca' Bianca's staff includes the owner, Bianca, a black cat Mimì, and a little dog, Nina, a friendly and playful golden retriever.

The entire staff, each with their own skills and peculiarities, is at your disposal.

Hey from Bianca

Member since May 2010 | 33,412 hits
Before starting by writing about me, Bianca, owner of the house and owner of the business, I would like to thank all those who contributed to the birth and growth of Ca' Bianca.

From 2008 to today, there have been many such people and they have alternated from time to time based on their time availability.

In fact, tireless friends and relatives have come to lend a helping hand, sometimes in exchange for a barbecue but often just for the pleasure of being together and accomplishing something concrete and just for the fun of it.

The list is long and I don't want to bore you, but the premise was necessary.

I have always liked taking care of people and making sure they are well thanks to my commitment and so, one brick at a time, finally in 2009 I opened the doors of my B&B, a dream I had had since I was a child.

My life partner, now wife, Lorenzo, helps me with the PC, which I hate. But mainly, he supports me morally, instilling in me the strength and courage necessary to move forward, always with determination and enthusiasm.

My beloved parents and my wonderful in-laws also gave a good amount of help, each with their own possibilities and aptitudes.

In addition to me, Bianca, boss and tail of the B&B, Ca' Bianca staff includes a black "cangatta", Mimì, and a little dog, Nina, a nice and playful golden retriever.

The entire staff, each with their own skills and peculiarities, is at your disposal.

The answer from the host:
Grazie Mirko, per la vostra recensione. E' stato un vero piacere avervi nostri ospiti, siete una bellissima famiglia. Mi dispiace di non aver soddisfatto le vostre aspettative riguardo alla posizione. Ti ringrazio perchè mi dai l'opportunità di spiegare i motivi delle mie scelte. Quando, dopo lunga ricerca, trovai questa casa pensai che la spettacolarità del suo panorama, l'ampiezza degli spazi sia interni che esterni, la pace, il canto della natura circostante e la vicinanza ai luoghi d'interesse avrebbero sopperito alla scomodità di non essere in pieno centro. Spero di rivedervi presto, un affettuoso saluto da Nina la canina.

We stayed at Ca' Bianca during the Festival della Mente in Sarzana, which is just a few kilometers away from the property. Charming place with a stunning view overlooking the sea. Clean and well-furnished rooms. Abundant breakfast with high-quality local products. All this thanks to the passion and commitment of Bianca, Lorenzo, and Alessandra. Bianca is a helpful person and very attentive to details. You can feel a family atmosphere. A very pleasant stay, enhanced by the presence of Nina, a lovely Golden Retriever puppy that welcomes you warmly and entertains you. Nina is very well-behaved, clean, and non-intrusive.

Ca' Bianca house is the oasis for all who want to spend Tuscany in its heart in a private house and close to the beach (approximately 7 km). The house with a large garden and terrace offers a lot of relaxing space to rest (even with children who love animals). Bianca, Alessandro, and their staff are absolutely kind, helpful, and polite. The interior of the house is a balm for every soul. All of us must feel comfortable there. And what a fantastic breakfast on the terrace with a wonderful view! I have to mention the perfect outside kitchen with plenty of chairs, a sofa, and seating areas. Thank you very much for allowing us to stay and absolutely fully recommended!

Weekend of relaxation in a stunning area waiting to be discovered. Exceptional hospitality from the managers who made us feel at home from the very first moment. The house is cared for in every detail, spacious and very clean rooms. Terrace with a spectacular view over the valley and the sea and a very abundant breakfast, both sweet and savory. Easy to reach by car. For those like us who went to Tuscany to enjoy a few days by the sea, the structure is about 15 minutes away (by car) from the beach of Marinella di Sarzana. We will definitely come back!

We stayed just over a month ago in this B&B and deliberately waited some time before reviewing our stay. Essentially, we didn't want to risk being biased and giving overly positive 'hot' opinions, but despite that, it's impossible not to remember with joy the experience lived: extremely clean and super welcoming location. Bianca, Lorenzo, and their staff are impeccable in managing and taking care of everything in detail! Kindness and hospitality were a fundamental part of the stay, but the quality, goodness, and abundance of breakfast were of a superior level. The structure is not located in a very convenient position to the city center (that's why I gave a rating of 9 and not 10), but perhaps this is also a characteristic that ultimately contributes to making everything so special. We will definitely consider the structure for future stays and recommend it to anyone who knows how to appreciate in simplicity all the beauty a person can offer while carrying out their activity with passion. See you soon, Pietro and Roberta.

Very clean rooms as well as the common area for guests. Everything tastefully decorated. Very nice terrace with a good view. The location is good, although one should pay attention to the uphill approach with very tight curves. Access to the property is a bit hard to find. A sign here wouldn't hurt. The landlady, as well as the staff, were very friendly. I don't want to rate the breakfast separately, as everyone has a different opinion on local offerings.

Great hosts & staff. Beautiful view over Fosdinovo/Carrara as well. Rooms were very well kept and clean, my only issue being the lack of sound proofing in the rooms, as any sort of noise reverbs, which I felt didn't help with privacy. \n\nOutside of that though, the property is clean and very nice, and I've thoroughly enjoyed my stay. \n\nNote: I didn't try the breakfast, so please ignore the breakfast section on my review.

It's ideal for spending a few days immersed in greenery and tranquility. Welcoming structure, tastefully furnished, very spacious and livable, you feel at home. Ca' Bianca, Lorenzo and Alessandra welcomed us with sympathy and were very helpful in satisfying every request. Spectacular view from the terrace where we enjoyed a rich sweet and savory breakfast. Let's not forget the kitchen space totally available to guests, equipped with every utensil for cooking, enjoying meals outdoors under a pergola and a splendid barbecue for grilling together. All this in total freedom and privacy. We were very satisfied, we also recommend it to families with children, we will return as soon as possible.

We stayed at Bianca and Lorenzo's for three nights and we are satisfied with our choice. Breakfast is served on the panoramic terrace and the rooms are well-kept, a huge hall with many books and CDs. Ca' Bianca is located a few kilometers from Sarzana with its beautiful castle, 2 km from the Malaspina road near the castle of Fosdinovo (Must see). What makes Ca' Bianca unique is the possibility to cook autonomously in the courtyard, surrounded by nature with all the necessary tools including a fridge! In short, you will feel at home at Ca' Bianca.

It is said that “if you love your job, you will never have worked a single day”. In this case, I am sorry for Ca' Bianca, she will never retire then, because it is clear that she puts passion into everything she does within her B&B and it is perceived that she does it not for economic return, but because she does it well and all this she conveys to the guests. A special mention for what cannot be defined as the staff, but her life partners: Lorenzo and Alessandra “the Bulgarian”, always courteous and extremely helpful for everything but never intrusive. We found the place perfectly corresponding to the description, indeed, this is a bit deficient compared to what it really offers, really comfortable rooms and excellent common areas. It should be noted that in the “staff” there are also a dog and two cats, so if you do not appreciate them, perhaps it would not be the right choice, but if you read the description, be sure that what you will find, along with much more.

Located a few kilometers from the center of Sarzana and the sea, on the slope of the hill that leads from the sea to Fosdinovo. From the balcony, where breakfast is served (excellent and abundant, rich in local products), there is an incredible panorama that ranges from Versilia to Montemarcello. The silence and tranquility are total. There is also a covered space, used as a kitchen and dining room, available for guests. Bianca and Lorenzo are exceptional hosts, and they make you feel like you are at home. The rooms are large and very clean. A beautiful experience that we will repeat, and that I recommend to everyone, both families and couples.

A metà luglio abbiamo soggiornato in questa romantica struttura dai colori marittimi e immersa nelle colline di ulivi tra Liguria e toscana. Ottima per escursioni nel verde o gite al mare. Un panorama eccezionale si gode dalla terrazza, dove viene servita la colazione dolce e salata con prodotti tipici e dolci fatti in casa, squisiti. Le camere sono spaziose, pulitissime e arredate con cara. I gestori: Lorenzo e Bianca, persone gentilissime e disponibili. Ci siamo trovati davvero bene, consigliatissima.

Abbiamo prenotato in questa struttura, due notti, con una coppia di amici, per il ponte del 2 giugno, ma stante l'incertezza del tempo (una settimana di pioggia precedente la data della partenza) abbiamo deciso di cancellare la prenotazione, pur perdendo la caparra. Abbiamo quindi contattato il B&B, spiegandogli le nostre motivazioni e le nostre perplessità (non volevamo rischiare di restare chiusi per due giorni con i bambini) e loro, con molta gentilezza, ci hanno proposto di spostare la prenotazione alla settimana successiva, dal momento che non avevano ancora prenotazioni, così non avremo perso la caparra. Arriviamo nella struttura all'ora di pranzo e troviamo ad accoglierci Bianca e Lorenzo, i proprietari, Alessandra, la loro collaboratrice e Carmine (Nello per gli amici), un meraviglioso e simpatico golden retriever. Appena entrati nella struttura siamo rimasti senza fiato, un salone enorme e luminosissimo, pieno di librerie cariche di libri e fumetti di ogni genere, che si affaccia su un terrazzo con una vista mozzafiato sulla collina e sul mare. Le camere sono meravigliose, noi avevamo la camera dei Pazzi, grande e spaziosa, oltre al letto matrimoniale grande e al letto singolo, ci stava anche comodamente il lettino da campeggio per la mia bimba, il bagno è enorme. Quello che ho notato (e la prima cosa che guardo in ogni struttura in cui vado) è l'eccellente livello della pulizia, nonostante la presenza del cane e di un gatto (Mimì) che girano per la casa. Molto bella, anche se più piccola, la camera di Stefano, dove hanno alloggiato i nostri amici. La mattina ci hanno offerto una colazione luculliana (tutta bio e molta a km 0): biscottini appena sfornati al profumo di limone, biscottini alle nocciole, torta al cioccolato, muffin mele e cannella (tutti preparati da Bianca), focacce di vario tipo (fatte con lievito madre), pancetta locale, ricotta, marmellate e yogurt per tutti i gusti, oltre a latte (vaccino o di mandorle), caffè, inutile dire che ci siamo alzati strapieni. Dopo colazione è iniziato il diluvio universale che ci siam goduti in terrazza chiacchierando con Bianca e Lorenzo, inutile dire che sono stati degli ospiti deliziosi, e che a settembre stiamo già pensando tutti di tornare, vista la meraviglia del posto e l'accoglienza dei proprietari. I bambini dal canto loro hanno avuto tanto spazio per correre e giocare con Carmine, nonché dare il tormento alla povera Mimì (la gatta) che provava a sfuggirgli. Consiglio questo B&B a tutti, single, coppie, famiglie con bimbi e persone di una certa età, si possono fare tante cose, dalle passeggiate, alla visita ai paesini di Lerici, Sarzana e Porto Venere, si può andare al mare, ma anche leggere sulla terrazza uno dei tanti libri della casa, a disposizione degli ospiti, e ogni tanto buttare l'occhio al panorama mozzafiato.
