THE
PLACE |
To reach Salice, first go into the village of Montaretto then take
the small road down to the right of the square of the village, just
after the church. It's a downhill narrow road that after 200 m.
becomes a dirt road. Follow the road signs for Poggio del Salice
and drive carefully up to the house (about 800 m.). Our house is
the last one where the road becomes a path. You find the video of
the road below here.
To reach Montaretto you can take the A12 highway Genova-Rosignano,
take the Deiva Marina exit (even if you arrive from south) and follow
the road signs for Levanto for about 10 km. A couple of km after
Costa, a hamlet of Framura, you arrive to the crossroads to Montaretto.
If you choose to take the SS1 Aurelia (old road), once you reach
La Baracca you take the road to Levanto-Bonassola. After 8,5 Km
on the right there are the Framura-Montaretto crossroads where,
after 2 km. more, you reach Montaretto.
If you use GPS you can find "Poggio del Salice Apartments"
or put the coordinates 44.193329,9.571194

- From the Framura rail station, walk the tunnel and
go up the stairs located on the curve after the tunnel. When you reach
the road, follow on the right for about 500 m.
On your way, you will pass a number of red apartment buildings.
At the end of the road there’s a bulletin board with information
about the surroundings. Two paths begin here. Take the one that goes up
where you see the sign SVA for Salice-Bonassola. From here the path is
in the woods with great views of the coast. After the little bridge over
a stream, the path continues up to our house. The last part is a little
bit demanding climb.
- From the Bonassola rail station, take the path (not
the tunnel) SVA towards Framura (ask someone where the entrance is, because
the beginning it is not clearly labeled).
When you are about to exit Bonassola, be sure to walk on Carpeneggio road
(there is also a yellow sign to Salto della Lepre). Climb the steep road
all the way and when it starts to go downwards, after 100 meters, you
find a path SVA signed Framura or Salice. From now on, you walk in the
woods up to Salice.
When you arrive to Salice, the path crosses a road. Walk downwards your
left and, after 100 meters, you will reach us.
From mid-June to early September there's a bus service from Bonassola
to Montaretto (ask me the timetable). You can catch the bus up to Montaretto
and then follow the dirt road for Salice as above described. About 15
minutes on foot all downhill.
- Levanto railway station is a little bit farther away
but it is a stop for InterCity trains, so if you arrive from Milan or
Pisa you can get there without change. From the station take the bus to
Montaretto (for timetables see our links page) or take a taxi which will
cost about 30 euro. From Montaretto follow the dirt road for Salice as
above described. About 15 minutes on foot all downhill.
