Nestled in the heart of the Ligurian countryside, in Testico, this renovated rustic retreat rises like a hidden treasure, accessible through enchanting roads that wind through nature, marking the entrance to an ancient village steeped in history and charm. Its structure, spread across three levels—two of which are living spaces—seems to embrace the surrounding landscape, blending harmoniously with the nature around it.

On the upper floor, you are greeted by the warm atmosphere of ancient wood and glimpses of exposed stone on the walls. Here, a spacious kitchen, a bright and convivial dining room, a cozy living room, a master bedroom, a second bedroom, and a bathroom await. Original beams and carefully preserved vintage tiles tell the story of this timeless home, while the terrace, with its breathtaking views, becomes an open window to a sea of green, where the lush vegetation of the rolling hills stretches unobstructed to the horizon.

Descending to the lower level, you'll find another intimate living room, a bedroom, a smaller room, a large bathroom, and several storage spaces. Each window frames a natural tableau of peace and beauty. From here, another terrace opens up to the same poetic view, inviting silent contemplation of the surrounding nature.

Finally, at the lowest level, the true oasis of the property reveals itself: a spacious courtyard with an outdoor kitchen, perfect for al fresco dining, a shaded relaxation area, and at its heart, the stunning pool, where the blue of the water seems to merge with the surrounding greenery.

Continuing further down, tiers of garden spaces unfold, each rich with potential, offering additional areas to explore and enjoy in a place that feels suspended in time, in perfect harmony with nature.

Here, every detail tells a story, every corner invites peace and serenity, and the beauty of the surrounding hills is reflected in the tranquility that fills these spaces.

A short documentary on Testico

Testico (SV)

Testico, a small village nestled in the Ligurian hinterland in the province of Savona, retains its authentic charm and timeless allure. Perched on hills about 450 meters above sea level, it offers breathtaking views of the valley below and the surrounding hills covered in olive groves and forests. The narrow streets, stone houses, and tranquil atmosphere make Testico an ideal destination for those seeking peace and a deep connection with nature.

The history of Testico dates back centuries, as evidenced by the Church of San Sebastiano and the village’s ancient buildings, which reflect the traditional Ligurian architecture. Its strategic location between the sea and mountains makes it a perfect starting point for hikes and walks, while the nearby Ligurian coast allows for easy access to the beaches of Alassio and Andora.

In addition to its natural beauty, Testico is renowned for its production of extra virgin olive oil, thanks to the olive groves that dominate the landscape. Life here moves at a slower pace, in harmony with nature and local traditions, captivating those in search of authenticity and timeless beauty.
