CASA GIULIA
 
Charming House in an Artist's Colony
 Sleeps 5
An exceptionally rare rental opportunity in an artist's colony overlooking the sea, this utterly charming house is nestled into the quiet little hilltop village of Montemarcello, not far from Cinque Terre.  For a writer, it's a perfect location in which to escape all distractions and be able to spend a bit of time living and working in a place of peace and tranquility.   For an artist, it's paradise, an incredibly picturesque and quaint village with stunning landscapes and vignettes at every turn.

The house is located in the center of the village and has three floors as well as a rooftop terrace.  The ground floor contains a small living room with fireplace, a bathroom with shower and a large kitchen that is fully equipped with stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and a full complement of cooking and serving utensils.  Also on this floor is a single bedroom with its own private access to the street.  The kitchen door opens onto a very sweet little patio with many plants and flowers, and a small yard beyond with beautiful views of the sea.  There is also a barbeque area.

The entire house is decorated with original works of art, from the hand-etched marble floors to the very interesting painting strung on cables which  is raised to reveal a mini sink and serving area in the top floor living room.
While this village is totally off the beaten track, the location of the house is very convenient....only 30 minutes to Pisa Airport, the tuscan coast, the city of Lucca, the marble quarries and the exceptional Cinque Terre.  Within the village there are two grocery stores and two restaurants, so artists need not go hungry here!
