A day at the beach or a walk in the woods? A bike tour or some relax on the deckchair? And, why not a barbecue? In Sungei you can do all this!
Villa Navone in Sungei [pron.: soounjey] is waiting for you: it lies in the heart of Val Petronio, Liguria (Italy), on a foothill where stands the oldest oak of the valley.
We are in Velva, a small village a few kilometers away from the beaches of Sestri Levante, Riva Trigoso and Moneglia, and less then one hour driving from Cinque Terre.
From the first spring bloomings in March, to the olives season in November, Villa Navone in Sungei is waiting for you. You will be welcomed by its immense quiet, its regenerating air, its enchanting perfumes and flavours, as well as the richness of its products. It’s an ideal place also for remote workers.
Guests can choose between two elegant, newly remodeled, fully accessoried apartments in villa, and enjoy the Sungei park and its amenities: relax and reading areas, a barbecue area, the orchard and vegetable garden, the old cellar, the olive grove, free parking car lots and a deposit for bikes.
“Sungei is an unusual place. It is for people who appreciate and demand more from their vacations. Who want adventure, yet appreciate relaxation. Sungei is the gateway to days and nights of contrasts and challenges. There are mountainous roads, whose narrow, winding roads challenge you, especially on bicycle, ancient villages that must be climbed, whose colors, unique foods and events invite exploration. There is the sea, the beaches of Sestri Levante and the towns of Cinque Terre, which rise in layers from the blue green waters of the Ligurian Sea, their small harbors, dotted with boats and beaches, whose houses and churches wind up the cliffs and perched above them terraced vineyards.
And there is Sungei itself, a beautiful palazzo nestled in the hills, where olive, peach, persimmon, fig and apple trees grow and silence reigns supreme. Silence that envelops you, that encourages you in the morning to set forth on your adventures and soothes you at the end of the day when you return”. (Barbara, New York City)

To reach us: Autostrada A12; exit Sestri Levante; follow Casarza Ligure; Castiglione Chiavarese; 1km after Missano follow Velva on the right (avoid the tunnel straight ahead); once in Velva, just after the hamlet, find the untarmacked road (about 100m) on the right, where the stones engraved with “Villa Navone” stand. Alternatively, you can park just in front, near the tennis court, and reach Sungei by foot.
