The bed linen and mattress are good quality. It has an en-suite shower room and a superb mountain view. The bed has been positioned so that you can wake up in the morning, open the shutters and drink your tea in bed whilst admiring the view - a lovely way to start the day! Dimmers to the main lights. Bedroom 2 is larger than Bed 1 and has a curved vaulted ceiling. The furniture is in wrought iron with basketwork. The bed linen and mattress are nice quality for your comfort.

There is electric heating, by wall convectors in each room and an imitation stove containing a fan heater in the living room. There is also a large portable gas heater for when it's particularly cold. The fridge is integrated and has a small freezer compartment. The upper bedroom has no door but privacy is gained, as it is situated on a completely different level from the second bedroom, which is located two floors below and has a door. Sadly, the house is not suitable for children, the elderly or infirm due to its location and layout inside (stone steps). Neither would it be suitable for teenagers who are looking for more activities at night. Parking is free in one of the 3 car parks in the village, then it's on foot via the Medieval pathways; some are steep so good shoes to be worn when traversing them. Please provide your own beach towels. Suitable for couples who like walking and seeking a romantic, fascinating and unusual mountain setting.

Featured Review

5/5

Ligurian perfection

mcvmad, Leyburn, North Yorkshire, UK
Review Submitted: August 05, 2008, Date of stay: June, 2008

Having visited Ceriana a few years ago, we knew it would be a lovely town, but we were completely overwhelmed by the view from the house, the tranquil, beautiful and friendly square, the decor and appointment of the house and everything else. The walking around Ceriana is fantastic and unspoilt and the public transport system excellent if you don't have a car. All of the shops, bars and restaurants in town have a lovely understated charm. The whole experience was about as good as it gets.

Owner's response:

We are delighted with the excellent feedback received from our guests in North Yorkshire who enjoyed the whole experience and are pleased that the holiday lived up to their expectations.
