Villa Rosmarino Bed and Breakfast Guest House, Camogli, Mount Portofino, Liguria, Italy

Villa Rosmarino is located on Mount Portofino, a protected area that stretches out into the open sea, a natural border between the Golfo Paradiso and Golfo del Tigullio.

There’s a shady terrace outside perfect for al fresco breakfasts or early evening drinks. A pathway leads from the bottom of the garden down into the village, so you won’t need a car for nights out. Camogli is something of a gourmet’s destination, so you won’t go hungry with the restaurants serving fresh fish lunches and Ligurian specialities.

The large garden of Villa Rosmarino surrounds the house in a typical ligurian fashion. A large magnolia tree and some chamelias spread their fragrance on the Mount side, while climbing roses, gardenias, pomegranate trees and geraniums will lead your walk toward the swimming pool area.

Lemon, tangerine and grapefruit trees bloom right outside the large opening doors of the living room while the lavender and rosemary bordered lawn that surrounds the swimming poll hosts the old mill grindstone and an ancient retorted fig tree.

Guests can admire these colours while comfortably sunbathing on the lounge chairs and beds around the large swimming pool.

The villa's interiors are defined by modern furnishing and Italian design. The internal décor is relaxing and soothing for the most demanding traveler.

Leather armchairs, a slate floor and melamine dining table set the tone in the downstairs lounge, where breakfast is prepared in a glass-walled kitchen. Architecturally clean-cut staircases showcase Mario’s bold collection of contemporary art – everything from tribal to train posters – softened by displays of colourful Venetian glass. There’s a little first-floor library where you can flop into an armchair and leaf through art and design books.

Villa Rosmarino has six bedrooms: each one offers guests the privilege to live in a unique and different atmosphere from the other guests of the residence.

Soothing ivory walls surround beds crisply dressed in pristine white bedlinen and carefully set off against dark wood furniture and retro-industrial lamps. The less-is-more philosophy is everywhere, with clean-lined bathrooms (some semi-open to the bedroom) with deep Carrara marble sinks, rainfall travertine showers, precision-placed fittings and sparing use of colour. There are no room numbers or room keys here – Mario is keen for guests to feel they're in a home, not a hotel.

Each room has an open wardrobe and private bathroom with modern resin floorings and light Saint Hubert stone, the sinks of Carrara marble fashioned in Ligurian style.

Each room at Villa Rosmarino has a sitting area. Some sport original art nouveau mosaic tiled floors, while others have shiny blond wood or industrial resin floors. Chrome scaffold-pole hanging shelves and plain cream armchairs complete the look. Two rooms have a small terrace with wonderful sea views.
