A propriedade — Casa Ginestra
Casa Ginestra is a simple, sun-bleached three-star in the hills above Testico, all whitewashed walls and terracotta floors. The vibe is unhurried, family-run, and slightly rustic, with a small pool that looks out over olive groves to the sea. It works best for travellers who want quiet Ligurian countryside and don’t mind driving ten minutes to the nearest beach. Standing in the lobby you smell eucalyptus from the garden and hear clinking glasses from the breakfast terrace.
Crónicas de Testico
Testico sits on a spur of the Ligurian Apennines, first recorded in the 12th century as a fortified village under the bishop of Albenga. Its narrow stone lanes and bell tower date from the medieval period, but the town has never been wealthy or prominent; agriculture—olives, vines—shaped its character. Today it’s a quiet hilltop comune of fewer than 100 residents, known mainly for its panoramic view of the Riviera di Ponente and the nearby Imperia olive oil route. There’s no piazza culture or festival calendar; the appeal is the silence and the light.
