Casa Gemmaeluce is a really comfortable accommodation for families and little groups of friends, this house is far from the noisy summer, but few minutes far from supermarkets, beaches and restaurants. You’ll find here two double bedrooms and a comfortable sofa bed in the mezzanine, over the kitchen. When needed, we offer even baby beds for the youngest guests.

It is surrounded by a really big mediterranean park, mainly cultivated with olive trees (certified organic), so in the summer night, while looking at the stars, you could see even fireflies!

At home, you’ll find some book, art books, local kitchen and flora books, hoping that they will interest you.

Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas E. 22 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing design house above the sea The house is amazing. Great architecture and interior design. Spacious, bright and views from the dining table onto the sea. Very good beds, a kitchen were you can really cook. All completely new and very clean. Outside you have amazing views of the sea, Imperia and the hills. Olivetrees and meditaranian vegetation make this a paradise. Bianca, the host is very welcoming and provided tips for where to go. She brought us several times her home grown organic vegetables and olive oil, which you need to taste. It's very quiet but only a 10 min car ride to Imperia and nice pebble beaches. Certainly one of the best places we stayed recently and we will come back. ##### Thomas E. Stayed 10 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roland S. 7 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Dream Getaway in Paradise Above Porto Maurizio We spent a wonderful week in this stunning holiday home in the mountains above Porto Maurizio – just the two of us and our dog. The house is perfectly located for escaping the everyday hustle and truly immersing yourself in peace and tranquility, surrounded by olive groves. Every morning we woke up to a breathtaking view of the sea, which enchanted us time and again. Our host, Bianca, was incredibly warm and helpful, making us feel welcome from the very first moment. The house itself was modern and immaculately clean – perfectly equipped for a relaxing holiday. We especially loved all the little details that made our stay so enjoyable. For anyone seeking peace, nature, and relaxation, this place is an absolute gem. We felt completely at ease and will definitely return! Thank you, Bianca, for an unforgettable week! ##### Roland S.

La villa est spacieuse, très bien équipée et décorée avec goût. Elle se situe au dessus d'Imperia au milieu des oliviers dans un environnement des plus calmes. Bianca s'est montrée très accueillante, nous a donné tous les renseignements utiles à notre séjour et s'est montrée disponible en cas de questions. ##### Mariève P.

Es ist modern eingerichtet und sehr gut ausgestattet. Für die Kaffeemaschine benötigt man Nespresso-Kapseln. Schade ist, dass das WLAN leider nicht sehr stabil ist. Vielen Dank an Bianca für die sehr nette Kommunikation. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. ##### Karin D. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Rudolf W. 22 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Entspannte Tage im komfortablen Haus Wir genossen die Ruhe und Aussicht dieses Anwesens. Klein aber fein - ausreichend Platz für 4 Leute. HundehalterInnen können ihre problemlos beschäftigen, da ein grosses Umgelände mit mehreren Ferienlokalitäten besteht. Sehr umsichtigtes Management. Bei uns versagten Elektrogeräte. Innert Minuten nach dem Anruf kam der Hausmeister vorbei und behob die Sicherungen! Die Anfahrt zum Haus führt über enge Gassen und Feldwege, weshalb ein Sportwagen nicht ideal ist. GPS hatte grosse Mühe, das Haus zu finden. ##### Rudolf W.
