This charming property enjoys a truly magical setting on the sunny southern hillside near the village of Testico, offering breathtaking panoramic views across the surrounding countryside. Peacefully positioned at the end of Via Poggio Bottaro, the house benefits from privacy, excellent sun exposure, and convenient access via a fully asphalted road.
Originally built as a small rural farmhouse, the property was carefully expanded and renovated in 1983 in an elegant Provençal style, blending rustic character with comfortable living spaces. On the north side of the house, near the main entrance, there is parking space for two to three vehicles.
The ground floor features a functional kitchen and a bright living room with dining area, opening onto a pleasant veranda that enhances the indoor–outdoor lifestyle. The living area is equipped with both a wood-burning stove and air conditioning, ensuring comfort throughout the seasons.
The first floor accommodates two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a hallway, along with a charming covered loggia. One of the bedrooms provides direct access to a spacious upper terrace designed for outdoor living. Here you will find an outdoor kitchen, barbecue area, swimming pool (approximately 3 × 7 meters), outdoor shower, and a solarium — an ideal space for relaxing while enjoying the open views and tranquil surroundings.
On the basement level there are two storage rooms as well as a diesel-powered heating system connected to radiators throughout the house. Although the current Norwegian owners have not used the system in recent years, it can easily be upgraded or replaced with a modern and more energy-efficient pellet heating solution.
The property is well maintained and equipped with a security entrance door, double-glazed windows fitted with mosquito screens, traditional wooden shutters, and a fully fenced garden. The house will be sold fully furnished and equipped, ready for immediate use.
Included in the sale are three adjoining plots totaling just over 1,500 sqm of land, mainly planted with olive and fruit trees. In autumn 2024, the owners harvested olives from the property, producing approximately 60 liters of high-quality Taggiasca extra virgin olive oil — a true expression of Ligurian countryside living.
This is an ideal home for those seeking peace, nature, and authentic charm within a beautiful hillside environment.

Testico and its surroundings

Nestled in the gentle hills of the Ligurian inland, just behind the coast, the small village of Testico is one of western Liguria’s most authentic and peaceful communities. Surrounded by olive groves, wooded hills, and open panoramic views, the area offers a lifestyle closely connected to nature and the changing seasons.

Testico lies in the upper Val Merula, a region known for its unspoiled landscapes and agricultural traditions. The village has preserved its historic charm, with stone houses, narrow alleys, and small piazzas where locals gather. The atmosphere is calm and genuine, ideal for those seeking a quieter life away from busy coastal resorts.

The surrounding countryside is dominated by terraced olive groves producing the renowned Taggiasca olive. The mild climate and fresh mountain air make the area pleasant year-round. Hiking trails and old mule paths connect nearby villages, offering scenic routes through forests and hills with views reaching toward the sea.

Despite its peaceful setting, Testico is only about 25–30 minutes from the coast. Andora and Alassio offer beaches, restaurants, and full services.

Testico provides a perfect balance between inland tranquility and easy access to the Riviera lifestyle.
