ViP Panorama
GREAT PLACE WITH GREAT VIEW OF THE SEA

If you want a place that is really move-in ready, this is it.

Everything worked the way it should. It is modern and up to date.
Parking is safe and convenient.
I didn’t use the pool but it was ready and available.

The electronics and internet were superb.

The view from the terrace was spectacular.

Diano Marina is a great town. It is centrally located to many tourist attractions.

The customer service was great and the property was clean and ready when we got there.
The manual provided was really helpful.

I would recommend this place to my friends.

ViP Suite
PERFECT !!!

I can understand that this apartment is becoming increasingly popular!

We travel a lot and I can honestly say that this villa is one of the most beautiful ones we have booked in the past.

I can only repeat what I’ve read in the numerous positive and well earned reviews.

We are all looking forward to the holiday next year that we already booked.

ViP Suite
YOU MUST STAY HERE

WOW! WOW! WOW! Pictures don’t do this Villa justice.
We rented the ViP Suite for 2 weeks in July (5 adults and 3 kids) and we could not have been happier. The apartment was well laid out and everything we needed was on hand. Kitchen was nicely stocked with appliances, the bathroom included a large bath tub/shower and most importantly, the technical connections part of the apartment was the best.

The Wifi was more than adequate along even the technical geeks with us downloading movies and playing Minecraft. The TV, DVD Player, Satellite Systems kept all the kids and adult kids occupied. Mauro even had DVDs (in English) for extra choices.

The Pool and the BBQ were great accessories to the villa.

Mauro and Stefano took good care of us. They were available anytime via phone and text. My husband and I wanted to go to Cinque Terre and Mauro was able to find us an apartment so we could spend a good day and a half in that area.

If I could, I would give Villa il Poggiolo 7 stars!
If you want to see the Liguria region, this is the place to be.
When you do get here, follow all of Mauro’s recommendations for sights to see and places to eat.

Tourist information

Diano Marina - The Gulf

About the area

Diano Marina is a tourist village that became popular during the 1800’s as a seaside resort and it is visited by tourists from all over the Europe.

The Western Ligurian Riviera climate is famous for being delightful in the summer and mild in the winter.

This makes Diano Marina, an ideal destination for holidays throughout the year.

All along the coast there are sandy beaches, with nice beach establishments.

We suggest visiting the natural and historical beauties nearby us, like the medieval village of Cervo Ligure, Hambury’s botanical gardens or the marvelous inland villages as Dolceacqua, Bussana Vecchia, Triora and Apricale. As an alternative, we suggest longer trips such as the Genoa’s Aquarium (the second biggest in Europe), Portofino or the “Cinque Terre“, or the nearby Montecarlo and French Côte d’Azur.

The Story and Convictions of “Villa il Poggiolo”

“Villa il Poggiolo” was my parents dream come true home. 

With my parents passing, and my life taking me in different directions I decided to transform it into a “Holiday Home” acting as a host to worldwide guests.

This little corner of the world has always felt special to me, almost magical. It’s a place that has a strong positive energy. The surrounding green area, the aromas of the pines and olives, and the gentle breezes coming from the deep blue sea. If you stretch out your arm, you’ll feel like you could touch it. The sun embracing it all day long from sunrise to sunset…

For this reason I felt that a “normal holiday home” which I interpret as, a simple place to stay for a week with a few beds and a kitchen, was not enough for me. My dream was to create for my guests a unique experience which would be unforgettable. To make it memorable, and recreate unforgettable and magical it would have to have a strong personality and spirit.

My objective was to transform luxury into luxurious fun, and technology into joy. Modern and elegant grounds for those carefree moments to spend with your family, or friends, or both.
Relax, entertain, or just play freely. Life in the house and life outside the house is furnished with all possible comforts and the most recent technology at your disposal everywhere.

These are my exact ideas for a holiday in a “house far away from home” this is what I intend.
Continue reading...

I was fortunate, I inherited this property in such a magnificent position, enhanced by luscious green scenery , and its breathtaking view, from my parents.
Following my own personal taste for beautiful things I renovated everything, always maintaining a high quality standard and keeping an eye on detail. I wanted to share with my guests for their enjoyment my passion for design and technology.
I created spacious rooms furnished with modern furniture, objects of design, to satisfy all your needs, and unlimited high quality entertainment possibilities for the whole family. Music Hi-Fi everywhere, complete Wi-Fi coverage, Big Screen TVs with worldwide channels, Home–Cinema, Swimming Pool, large Jacuzzi, Garden, Wood Burning Oven, Barbeque, Ping Pong, Sun Beds, Area Relax, and a night illuminated by Colored Lights…

I would like your visit at “Villa il Poggiolo” to be an unique experience, that you will remember with joy, and maybe even a bit of nostalgia, for your entire life. I would like that all my guests are pleased with their stay, and that they will return someday. I often stay in contact with previous guests after their holiday, we become friends on Facebook… and sometimes even in the real life!

This is the quality and treatment that I would like when I go on vacation somewhere… but unfortunately that rarely happens.

On the other hand I believe that I was able to transmit my passion to my guests, testimony of this fact hundreds of positive reviews that I have received over the years.
Watching the guests leave with broken hearts, and listening to their warm goodbyes, and their gratefulness for the wonderful vacation that they had at my House is a great satisfaction for me, and repays all the efforts that I made.

You can see the results of this project on this web site.”
