B&B Vignabella

About

Five little buildings tightly connected together, refurbished leaving their characteristics untouched: this is Vignabella. The small houses were born in different ages, since the beginning of the XIX to the first decades of the XX century (the last one dates back to 1917); they are made of stones and the rooms dimensions are those given by the old builders. Between the old wine cellars and the small stables we created several passages that set up dining-rooms. living-rooms and the kitchen, which are ready to welcome the guests. We left the ancient terracotta in the pavement and the stones in the old arches that support the building... And all that is surrounded by green grass, secular chesnuts, cherry-trees, pines and mimosas. In springtime the bank of the streamlet that flows along the meadow fills with wild narcissuses. From the rooms you can see the wood, the meadow and the mountains in the distance, beyond the river Magra... and also squirtles, which come to get in supplies of hazel-nuts and chesnuts; pheasants, which do not scorn the grapes of our vineyards; and then wild boars, hares, robins and turtle-doves. Our typical breakfast is based on home-made cakes, D.O.P. jams and honey, Pecorino cheese and local salted meat and bread backed in the wood-fired oven and then laid down on chesnut leaves, which you can taste in the living- and dining-rooms or outside in the courtyard and terraces around the B&B, perhaps washing it down with our white wine.
