The Village is situated along Ligurian Eastern Riviera, in a 15 hectares' protected area rich in pine-trees and mediterranean maquis (an average of 800 sq.m. for each guest and a sea coast of 1 km).
The microclimatic features of La Francesca are due to its favourable position facing South and protected from the North winds. Medium temperatures, in fact, during the coldest months seldom fall below 10° and weather is dry and sunny for most of the year and windy in Summer.
La Francesca is a self-sufficient settlement, where you can spend your time with no hurry or constraint.
Tourists, who nowadays are more and more desirous to discover landscapes, scents and natural flavours, find in La Francesca the ideal place for a stay in all seasons.
Facilities
The private route, that from the entrance gate slopes down to the sea, offers beautiful views, but numerous are the footpaths taking to enchanting corners.
You can leave your car in a secure parking area and get anywhere on foot. This is good for adults, but mostly for children, who will be able to move around in complete safety.
If you feel like cooking at home, you can find provisions at the minimarket: fresh milk, Ligurian focaccia, vegetables and cheese, all of local production.
Sports and swimming-pool
For sports and relaxing there is a rich choice: indoor gym, 2 tennis courts, football and volley-ball fields, bowling, minigolf, table tennis, training in 9 steps (all these activities can be performed all year round).
The swimming-pool (25x10 metres), situated among pine-trees and oleanders, is open from June to September: sun-beds, whirlbath and aquagym courses are available in Summer.
In Summer, the small bar next to the playground is children and teen-agers' meeting-place for evening activities - always discreet - with the animators.
