Villa Corbezzolo is an ancient manor house, typical of the Ligurian territory.
Expertly restored about 30 years ago by the architect Mirella Scalfaro, it has kept its charm intact: painted with natural pigments of a characteristic antique rose, entirely paved in slate (typical Ligurian stone), spacious and bright rooms, separated by stairways immersed in greenery.
Guests to the Villa will find a refined and exclusive environment, nevertheless characterized by the sort of warm environment that only a family-run establishment can offer.
The villa is composed as follows: a ground floor with kitchen, breakfast - dining room, living room facing the sea and beautiful park, with outdoor area for dining and living.
On the first floor is located Olives Suites, on the second floor is located Panoramic Room, on the top of Villa.

MOSQUITOS SPRAY

HOT WATER
In our Villa hot water is supplied by 3 electric boilers with a capacity of 80 liters each one. As the electric boiler takes about 1.5 hours to heat the water, it is necessary to use hot water sparingly (short showers, open the hot water tap the minimum necessary, etc.).
If a guest uses a lot of hot water the other guests will have to wait about 1.5 hours before having more hot water.
ELECTRIC ENERGY
Our Villa has an electrical power of 5,2kw (the maximum allowed for a private home). If this limit is exceeded, the main switch is released and the electric power no longer works and the main switch must be switched on again.
Therefore electrical equipment must be used taking into account this limit.
Danger: do not use the electricy main switch with wet hands and barefoot.
Only adults can access to electricy main switch.
When the electricity consumption has exceeded the limit of more than 1 kw it is necessary to wait about an hour before electricy main switch can be switched on again.
EXAMPLE OF SIMULTANEOUS ELECTRICY CONSUMPTION
1 hairdryer consumes 2kw
3 boiler for hot water consumes 3kw
1 microwave consumes 1.8kw
Already these devices exceed the allowed limit, so remember to use them sparingly.
Until now no one has ever complained about these aspects because all our guests have given serious consideration to these instructions.
We invite you to do the same.
