We'd like to improve our English and our Spanish because we believe that being able to communicate with everyone is essential to get to know other countries and other cultures. We will be happy to help you learn Italian.
Our family lives in an independent villa which is 1 km from the center of Loano and the sea. On the ground floor there is the kitchen, the living room, the bedrooms of our daughters. Upstairs the parents' bedroom, downstairs the guest bedroom with a private bathroom.
Loano is in Liguira, the region is between the sea and the mountains and it's rich in nature and history . For these reasons it is a holiday destination all year round.
