Un’oasi di casa sulle colline liguri Sulle colline della campagna ligure, a due passi dalle Cinque Terre, l’Agriturismo I Due Ghiri di Uana è una vera e propria gemma. È proprio quel posto speciale in cui desideri tornare per rilassarti dopo aver trascorso una giornata al mare, immerso nella quiete e nel verde. Fin dal primo momento si respira un’accoglienza genuina e calorosa: è una struttura a conduzione familiare e la sensazione è proprio quella di essere accolti a casa. È il luogo ideale per staccare la spina e trascorrere la domenica, un fine settimana o anche solo per fermarsi a prendere un aperitivo seduti sotto un olivo Non ho ancora provato l’esperienza del soggiorno, ma non vedo l'ora di farlo: se la qualità dell'ospitalità rispecchia quella della ristorazione, meriterà sicuramente tantissimo!

Ein wunderschönes Agriturismo, liebevoll errichtet und gepflegt von Gaia und Stefano. Die Lage ist etwas abgelegen, aber mit dem Auto kann man La Spezia in ca 35 min. gut erreichen. Von dort aus fahren die Züge nach Ciqueterre. Auch viele andere schöne kleine Orte entlang der ligurischen Küste sind gut erreichbar. Frühstück und insbesondere auch das von Gaia kreativ, superlecker und überwiegend mit Obst und Gemüse des Anwesens zubereitete Abendessen waren immer ein Erlebnis. Wir haben die 2 Wochen bei ihnen sehr genossen und danken ihnen- ebenso wie den ebenfalls sehr netten Mitarbeitern für manch hilfreiche Ausflugsempfehlung und die zugewandte, immer sehr gastfreundliche Art.

I Due Ghiri est un petit havre de paix où nous avons passé un incroyable séjour. Le lieu est magnifique et calme. Nous y avons dégusté tous les soirs la divine cuisine de Gaia, accompagnée de vins tout autant délicieux sous les bons conseils de Stefano. Les petits déjeuners sont simples et bons. Les environs sont magnifiques et ne se limitent pas aux Cinque Terre. Nous recommandons grandement d’y séjourner espérons pouvoir revenir un jour.
