Make a holiday rental house or villa in Castelbianco, Italy your home away from home

Nested in the Ligurian countryside between Alassio and Albenga is the village of Castelbianco. The Pennavaire Valley in which the village stands is a remarkable, hidden little piece of unspoilt Liguria, with the astonishing cliffs and peaks of the Alps on every side, and the beautiful, twisting coastline just 15km to the south. Anyone who enjoys driving or sensational natural scenery will be thrilled by the prospect of taking a self catering Castelbianco villa.

Things to do in Castelbianco, Italy

The maze of ancient tracks that lead into the mountains from Castelbianco are a walker’s dream. There are a huge range of trails in the area, the most testing of which lead up the steep slopes of Mount Alpe. Whether you are looking to explore the famous landscapes on foot or from the saddle of a mountain bike, you couldn’t be better placed than you are in a self catering Castelbianco villa. There are a great number of sheer cliff faces and dramatic escarpments in Liguria too, making it an absolute haven for rock climbers and mountaineers too. Walking and riding from Castelbianco accommodation is made all the more pleasurable for the charming mountain villages, roman ruins and ancient castles that nestle in the valleys, hidden from those simply passing through along the coastal road.

The beaches of the Mediterranean are just a ten minute drive from a holiday rental property in Castelbianco. With the glistening waters of the Mediterranean and a range of sand beaches, from coarse black sands to powder soft sands reminiscent of the Cote d’Azur just across the border in France, many hours of your Castelbianco holiday can be spent relaxing in the sun. The resorts along the Liguria coast offer an array of water sports, with fantastic sailing, deep sea fishing and wind surfing among the best.

There are many excellent things to do away from the mountains and the beach too. There is a fantastic 18 hole golf course in Garlenda, just a few miles along the coastline, as well as a wonderful horse racing track at Villa Nova, where you can enjoy evening race cards, which are tremendous fun for the whole family.
