L' Amandola in Levanto, Liguria

The outdoor swimming pool features a pool bar, a shallow end, and sun loungers with umbrellas, all overlooking the surrounding olive trees. Guests can relax on the sun terrace or cycle through the grounds using the free bikes available. The property also offers a happy hour at the pool bar, with seating areas for private moments.

All 12 rooms are furnished in country style and include free Wi-Fi and a flat-screen TV. Each private bathroom comes with a bathtub, and some rooms offer a classic suite or two connecting rooms for families. The building retains its 17th-century character with historic nooks and original details.

A daily sweet and savoury buffet breakfast features homemade products, served either indoors or on the patio. The property produces its own wine and olive oil, hosting tasting evenings and an aperitivo at sunset by the pool. A coffee house on site and a snack bar provide additional refreshments throughout the day.

A children's playground and kids' outdoor play equipment are set in the garden, while happy hour includes family-friendly activities. Pets are allowed on the property, and the resident dog Black is known for welcoming guests. Family rooms and the option of two connecting rooms make it easy for larger groups to stay together.
