This part of Italy đźđč is lovely! The property owner was very helpful.
The apartment is a genuine part of an old castle. Not a touristy place. Just a genuine old fashioned apartment. Itâs very basic.

Great Location
Amazing views
Very Good Kitchen
The Kitchen and the Veranda are the 2 best qualities and on Hoiday this makes all the difference
The area is full of really good local shops restaurants and locals making the saty authentic
Schöne, gerĂ€umige Wohnung, tolle Terrasse mit Blick in die Berge. Voll ausgestattet mit allem, was man braucht. Diverse Ausflugsziele im Radius von bis 45 Autominuten (und darĂŒber hinaus noch megr).
L'appartamento Ăš situato in posizione strategica per visitare una zona ancora poco conosciuta ma splendida della Toscana e per le escursioni sui sentieri delle Alpi Apuane. La casa Ăš fresca, pulita e dotata di tutto quanto necessario (ottima la dotazione della cucina). Il balcone gode di una vista splendida sulle Apuane e consente di mangiare all'aperto. Facili e gradevoli Il check-in e out grazie alla simpatia e professionalitĂ della persona incaricata.
Siamo, insomma, rimasti molto soddisfatti.
Casa pulita, ben tenuta, c'Ăš tutto il necessario. Contesto caratteristico e molto rilassante. Terrazzo molto bello e spazioso con vista notevole. La Sig.ra che ci ha accolto Ăš stata molto gentile e ci ha dato tutte le indicazioni necessarie. La posizione Ăš favorevole sia per visitare le cinque terre e la versilia, sia per passeggiate in montagna o visita alle terme. Consigliato.
We enjoyed our 5-night stay at this 2-bedroom property in the quiet charming small Medieval village of Soliera. The village is not a tourist town but an authentic little Italian village with cobblestone lanes and friendly people. The house is party of a 13th century castle, is comfortably furnished and has a great patio built atop a turret, that looks out at the lush green hills and houses of area in the foreground, and the Italian Alps in the background. WE took our meals at the dining table out there when home. There were three of us, girl friends in our 60s. We were there in mid-September and the weather was perfect. Not far from La Spezia, where you can catch a train to the 5 villages of beautiful Cinque Terra on the Ligurian Coast.
If you stay here once, you will come again over and over
This place was wonderful, particularly if you want to relax and not be in a tourist rat race to see everything in Italy. This place is a bit off the tourist route, not many locals spoke English even though we easily got by with what little we know. The house is very comfy and the view out the windows and on the balcony is spectacular. We found we had no need to go anywhere but back and forth to the kitchen to refill our wine glasses and get more cheese! The local village (Soliera / Rometta) was very picturesque, very old and just like a postcard. The local hills are filled with little mom and pop restaurants that served delicious food every bit as good as the more fancy (and expensive) restaurants in town. Just taking a evening drive into the surrounding hills was a joy, but be warned, the roads are very narrow, steep and windy. Aulla is about 6-7 miles away and it had every amenity we could want and then some, but the local stores had a great supply of the essentials...wine , cheese, crackers salami, and great fresh bread! The kitchen is well equipped to cook up a storm, the neighbors were friendly and helpful. It was a easy one hour train trip to Cinque Terra or into the local mountains. The train station is about 1/2 mile away with free parking. Bring a good book(s) and relax, the place is divine,..... and don't miss a sunset on the balcony!
We hebben 2 heerlijke weken gehad in dit zeer compleet ingerichte huis dat is gelegen in een kasteel muur. Een heerlijk groot terras aan de voorzijde met een geweldig uitzicht. Vanuit Soliera is de omgeving perfect te verkennen, alles is op relatief korte afstand te bereiken. Zwemmen is ook mogelijk in een nabij gelegen riviertje of een betaald zwembad een paar minuten verderop. In het dorpje zelf kun je 's morgens brood kopen, alles op loop afstand. Bij aankomst werden we vriendelijk ontvangen door Mirjam die reeds een drankje en een snack had klaar staan voor ons! Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar, een echte aanrader!!!
I used to visit a family home just a few doors up from this location. So I was quite familiar with the spectacular views. The apartment is well laid out and has most conveniences. We found it very useful visiting a pile of nearby places by car. Could have done with some milk in the fridge though.
Die Wohnung ist groĂzĂŒgig, geschmackvoll und doch persönlich eingerichtet. Sie bietet viel Platz, so dass auch sechs Personen sich nicht in die Quere kommen. Bei einer solchen Belegung wĂ€re lediglich das eine und recht kleine Bad von Nachteil.
Wir waren zu zweit und haben die Ruhe sehr genossen; ebenso die herrliche Terrasse mit ihrem wunderbaren Ausblick, den man bei schlechtem Wetter auch von der groĂen KĂŒche aus genieĂen kann. Die KĂŒche bietet alles, was man braucht, sogar zwei(!) SpĂŒlen und ein gemĂŒtliches Sofa. Als sehr angenehm empfanden wir, wie sauber und gepflegt alles gehalten ist.
Der Empfang durch Mirjam war sehr freundlich. Wir haben uns mit ihr in Rometta, einem nahe gelegenen Dorf getroffen, von wo aus sie uns nach Soliera gefĂŒhrt hat. Dort warteten bereits leckere Speisen und GetrĂ€nke auf uns, so dass wir nicht gleich einkaufen gehen mussten.
Im Dorf findet man zwei kleine LebensmittellĂ€den und eine Bar; in Rometta gibt es eine Mineralwasser"quelle", wo man fĂŒr ein paar Cent gekĂŒhltes und bei Bedarf auch mit KohlensĂ€ure versetztes Wasser abzapfen kann. Das Wasser - auch das aus der Leitung im Haus - ist ĂŒbrigens ausgesprochen wohlschmeckend.
Soliera bietet einen guten Standort um AusflĂŒge nach SW zu den Cinque Terre zu machen (Das Auto lĂ€sst man dann am besten in La Spezia und kauft sich am Bahnhof eine Tageskarte fĂŒr die CinqueTerre, mit der man zwischen La Spezia und Levanto mit dem Zug in alle Richtungen fahren und auch die Wanderwege benutzen kann). Sehr schön ist es auch, einfach mal mit dem Auto ins Blaue zu fahren - wir gerieten dabei zu dem hĂŒbschen Ort Fosdinovo und seiner mittelalterlichen Burg.
Eine Stunde Fahrtzeit braucht man, wenn man die BergstraĂe hoch nach Ceretto Laghi fĂ€hrt in den schönen Parco Nazionale dell' Appennino Tosco Emiliano. Dort kann man verschiedene Wanderwege begehen und sollte sich wĂ€rmere Kleidung mitnehmen - wir erlebten jedenfalls einen Temperaturunterschied von 10°C, aber dafĂŒr auch wunderbar klare, leichte Luft.
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt und können den Aufenthalt in dieser Gegend und in dieser Ferienwohnung sehr empfehlen!
The apartment was clean and well-maintained. It is a mixture of rustic architecture and modern conveniences. The good wifi reception was appreciated. It was fantastic to wake up every morning, sit on the balcony and have breakfast while admiring the view of the mountains. The evenings aspect of the scenery was totally different to the mornings as we sat eating our evening meals watching the colours of the mountains change with the setting sun.
We were met by Mirjam who welcomed us to the village and showed us around the apartment. She was in touch with us during our stay, making sure that everything was OK.
We are already planning our next trip and hope that we can stay in the apartment again. We would recommend this as a great place to stay.
Karakteristiek appartement, sfeervol ingericht, mooi uitzicht en groot terras
We (twee volwassenen met twee pubers) hebben een prima week doorgebracht in dit sfeervolle, ruime, schone, goed ingerichte appartement. Het appartement ligt in een klein dorpje op een heuvel. Het uitzicht is daardoor mooi. Veel zon op het ruime terras, met gelukkig een groot zonnescherm. Wifi werkt goed. In de buurt is veel te doen. Een openbaar zwembad op 5 minuten rijden. Verschillende leuke pittoreske dorpjes (Fosdinovo, Fivizzano, Lerici, etc.) op 15-45 minuten rijden. Ook de zee is niet ver weg. In de woning ligt een map met veel informatie en ook de (Nederlandssprekende) eigenaresse gaf de nodige tips.
An amazing property with a view that is unforgettable
An apartment created from an old castle. It has everything that you would need in a home. We were able to cook and relax and enjoy the stunning view. The location seems remote but was an easy access to all the attractions that one would want to visit.
Mirjam was very helpful and friendly. Look for the Spring water dispenser at the parking lot where Mirjam first meets you. 5 cents a liter and delicious. I look forward to staying there again.
We just returned from our two week memorable stay in Soliera Village. The balcony had a view that one dreams about. The apartment was very accommodating We used it as home base to travel to such places as Cinque Terra, fishing villages of Lerici and Levanto, Parma, Florence and castles in Fosdinova and Pontremoli.
My daughter and I recently stayed here and were delighted with the house.It has spectacular views from the patio/balcony, and the inside is decorated super nice. It is very thoughtful, and has everything you need for a home away from home.It is what I imagined an Italian house would be like .The price is a great bargain. There are several open air markets a short drive away.WE went to them all and bought local cheese meat and produce and prepared memorable dinners in the over the top kitchen.MY favorite part of my stay in Europe was snorkeling in the little village of Riomaggiore. We made several day trips to cinque terre and it is only a short drive . I would definitely stay there again .

Very nice, clean and complet appartment with a beautiful view
In March we stayed for a week in this lovely apartment.
The apartment is quite large, very clean and has more then enough space. The kitchen is the central place of the house en is very complete. The appartement has a very nice traditional Tuscany atmosphere.
We especially loved it to have breakfast outside at the large and sunny terrace/ patio. It has such a nice view!
In less than half an hour you'll reach the hills of Cerreto for a beautiful hike or walk. On your way to Cerreto you'll cross a restaurant "Funicolare" were you can have an excellent lunch! And in less than a 45 minute drive you'll be a at the Cinque Terre. So the appartment if very well placed in a nice small typical Italian village.
We had a lovely time and will be back next spring!
