Property description
Genuine hospitality awaits you at this former convent directly managed by your resident Host, Pier. Casa Lorenzina is perfectly located just at the border of chic (and expensive) Italian & French Riviera, close to all interest points. Daily cheap flights into Nice ( 25 miles from our home) from most European countries.
The 17th century country house is enclosed in a remarkably large private property directly accessible by the coastline national road via 250 yard road between olive groves and vegetable fields, where only organic farming is practiced, in a beautiful setting overlooking the Mediterranean. Our area is a small ecologically intact, miraculously sunny climatic niche. The air is filled with the perfume of local and tropical scents - the silence broken only by the sounds of the sea, the wind and wild birds.
Our double rooms, “Romantica†and “Lorenzina†and the suites, “Etnica1 †and “Etnica2â€,all of them with independent entrance, private bathroom and fantastic views of the sea. Amenities include satellite TV, radio and CD-reader, hairdryer, DVD reader with a fine collection of recent and old movies, plus free Wi-Fi Adsl connection. Our upper terrace affords splendid panoramic views and is equipped with garden furniture , rocking sofa, and other pleasant gear aimed at making your stay as comfortable as possible.
Every morning we serve from 8.30 onwards ( no reasonable limit to the time you start!!!) a superb, lunch-skipping breakfast with a menu changing every day - old tastes that only genuine, healthy and fresh food can give you. When you arrive you find on your table the fresh-squeezed orange juice, crème caramel pudding, probiotic yogurt and freshly made fruit salad. Hot coffee, tea, chocolate are already brewed for you. Twelve different qualities of jams, marmalades and preserves most made by us with organic products, honeys. In the meanwhile the freshly baked lemon- or apple cake is served. After the sweets section, the local specialties parade starts, featuring focaccia con le olive e rosmarino, Melon and Parma ham, buffalo mozzarella & tomato salad with extra virgin pristine oil, fried zucchini flowers, cheese quiche, scrambled eggs with Parmesan cheese, preserved aubergines, oil-preserved dried tomatoes, and much, much more. What's peculiar to us, Pier always cooks your breakfast on the spot and serves it hot.
Our area has been for centuries home to such a large number of people who built here their splendid homes. Nature performs here at best, providing a colorful background quite typical of the Riviera. This is why there are countless botanical gardens and historical villas to visit.
What's peculiar to our region is to have both sea resorts and high Alpine landscapes. So, there are enchanting beaches at a walk's distance, whereas in the opposite direction with a 20 minutes drive you reach 6000 feet high villages. We are 7 miles to Monte-Carlo and very close to all the points of interest. Also, the Italian and French picturesque inland villages provide an occasion for hikes and visits, plus food and wine-tasting itineraries.
Our family supports the promotion of sustainable development on this coastal strip, respecting environmental, scenic, historical, and archaeological characteristics.
Those who really appreciate nature, hiking, beautiful landscapes and views, good food , wine, oil and the pleasures of simple life can really enjoy a holiday with us. We strive to do our best to help them to.
