The B&B
La casa dei remi in barca was born as a place where time stops... it can be discovered again the beauty of nature, silence, crickets that serve as the soundtrack to the spectacle offered by the stars. Here we rediscover the value of small things.
La casa dei remi in barca despite allowing quiet to those looking for it, is not far from the center of Sestri Levante that can be reached in a 15 minute walk or less if you move by bike or car. There is also a bus stop not far from the B&B.

Moreover, 700 m away from the B&B is located the headquarters of the Olivicoltori Sestresi Olive Growers Cooperative, with a historic mill and a space for the direct sale of oil and other derivatives.

Breakfast room
...Despite the wifi connection available, I often advise my guests to try to re-connect with what they have around, rediscovering even for a few hours something special that the hectic everyday life makes us forget.
I have chosen to make many books available to guests instead of television: books of all kinds and for all ages, with special attention to the little ones who, at home, always have precedence although, for them, I will not provide modern and technological games but simple games "of old time". Gianna
For the B&B guests, there are documentation, leaflets, maps and maps of paths with the trails of Tigullio and Cinque Terre, as well as Genoa and its Historical Center, its museums of Via Garibaldi - Palazzo Rosso and Palazzo Bianco, The Spinola Gallery, The Museum of Mazzini, The Galata Museum of the Sea and the Ancient Port with the famous Aquarium.
