Casa
del sole arises from the enthusiasm of modern country peaople,
that is, from individuals who have chosen to organize their lives
arround an agricultural base.
We have been cultivating the soil for more than 15 years , always
without using pesticides, weed-killers or chemical fertilizers : not
only working the land, but also developing in the world and improving
it as as much as we can.

we are located 13 km from the sea, at the Riviera di Levante,
among the mountains of the Ligurian countryside, wildwooded and silent
with olive groves , chestnut trees and all that nature.
From here, you can walk along paths and hiking-trails connecting with
many others, until you may even reach Monte Zatta - 1400 m - with its
magical panorama. Not far away , the Parco d´Aveto organizes guided
tours of the most remote mountain areas of the wildlife park, where you
can see wolves and other wild animals .
Whoever prefers the sea, can find 30 minutes away the beaches of Cavi
di Lavagna , the beauties of Sestri Levante and further down the famous
Cinque Terre. Quite characteristic are also the towns of Chiavari and
Lavagna with their rich and interesting historic centers.

Casa del Sole belongs to the township of Ne, rich in history, also for
having given birth to Giuseppe Garibaldi, and for its agricultural
tradition.

In summer , you can relax in the shade of the olive trees or at a cool
brook, where you can dip into natural pools. Whoever wants to stop here
can share days filled with agricultural activities, dances, songs, yoga
and excursions. We will organize little competitions in tribal dancing
(for men) and dances which develop interior strength (for everybody).
There are also endurance contests and prizes for the best wood chopper.
The strong point of the farm is the production of seasonal vegetables ,
fruit and olive oil, all of strictly organic cultivation, applicating
synergical and permacultural methods.
We are striving for continous growth , which goes from agriculture to
the use of renewable sources of energy and craftmanship, and for this
reason we are also interested in an exchange of useful advice with all
our guests , so that Casa del Sole will become a worksite of continous
evolution.

Our hospitality provides an apartment of 140 m2 including kitchen,
bath, 3 bedrooms (of 3 sleeping places each) and a living room with a
