La Scellana B&B rurale sul fiume

via Tiglieto 20 - Frazione Acquabianca - 17048 Urbe - Province of Savona - Italy

Within the Beigua Park, joining the "Hospitable by Nature" program, we offer you the opportunity to spend a few days with us in this magical and peaceful place. Large outdoor spaces and a bathing stream

If you want a quiet holiday, with the possibility of having a quiet holiday, with the possibility of staying within a natural landscape of great interest, the Alta Valle Orba is for you. Located in the Beigua Regional Park, it has a low population density and a vast extension of forests (the ancient Selva dell'Olba known since Lombard times).
So those who come on holiday here have vast spaces at their disposal. At Scellana guests can enjoy a large garden, equipped with tables and barbecues for having lunch and preparing fabulous barbecues. Then beyond the garden there is the vegetable garden, a large lawn and the river that flows near the house and which forms a small swimming lake with an adjoining beach.

As regards activities in the valley, we thought we would make a small guide which, starting from the Scellana, provides itineraries and activities in isolated areas with high naturalistic interest. We would like to point out that the valley as a whole is an uncrowded area, but some areas such as the Alta Via or some lakes can be quite busy in particular periods of the year. Our guide aims to propose lesser-known places, but equally interesting from a landscape point of view.

A little information about our structure.
It is a traditional B&B, with the same spirit that characterized these structures when they were born, that is, with the pleasure of sharing your home with guests.

We want to share with guests first of all the spirit with which we approached these places when we came here from the city. We have tried to respect what this place has been over time.
The house has remained as it was with just a few touches; rather we did our best to clear the forest and rebuild the vegetable gardens in the fields that were once cultivated. We therefore opted for interventions with minimal impact, preferring to take care of what nature has made available or that old farmers have built over time.
When we decided to open our house to guests we thought of a welcome with a very limited environmental impact that would preserve and enhance the territory. There was no need to create anything specific for this activity, because the place itself has within itself all the characteristics of beauty and peace that allow those fleeing the city to find their ideal refuge.
La Scellana is within an area rich in places of notable naturalistic interest: here the air and water are pure, noise and light pollution are almost absent. And it is for this reason that by following the paths or walking in the woods or along the waterways it is easy to come across uncontaminated places where nature offers unprecedented sensorial experiences for a citizen. It is therefore an ideal place for what is called "slow rural tourism".
Those who come here do not find a TV but a view of meadows and vegetable gardens, not a solarium and a swimming pool but a garden with old recovered deckchairs and a stream with clear waters to dive into, not exotic essences but the scent of freshly baked bread, of wood, of flowers and aromatic herbs left to dry.
The accommodation includes a double bedroom on the first floor plus two additional beds in another connecting room. The bathroom, on the ground floor, is for your exclusive use.
Then there are the common areas: a kitchen in the typical style of a country house with wooden beams on the ceiling and a wood-burning thermocooker and a living room with bookcase and computer station (free WI-FI). The sharing of these common spaces will be agreed from time to time.
But above all it is the space around the house that in summer becomes an outdoor dining area and a place to relax (tables, umbrellas, sofa and deckchairs).
Four-legged friends are very welcome in our house.
We would be happy to introduce you directly to the area around the Scellana, the Carpescio stream with its crystal clear waters and its bathing lakes, the woods and the paths that pass nearby. We will give you all the information to visit the Alta Valle Orba and the surrounding areas. You can choose between spending a holiday dedicated to sporting activities or dedicated to rest, perhaps with a good book on the deckchairs in our garden or on the banks of the Carpescio. However, everything is always characterized by an environment that in itself will help you rediscover your natural rhythms and therefore true relaxation.
The upper Orba valley (a name that identifies the geographical area where "La Scellana" is located) is rich in attractions both on a naturalistic level (the chestnut woods, the high-altitude beech forests, the itineraries within the park of the Beigua up to the watershed with the breathtaking view of the Ligurian coast), and of a historical nature (the rock carvings, the oldest Cistercian monastery in Italy).
If you want to spend days dedicated to the typical activities of a slow holiday, the Alta Valle d'Orba offers you many possibilities such as:
-Swim in the streams: the fresh, clear emerald waters form small lakes and natural pools to dive into, or small waterfalls where you can have real hydromassages
-Meditation along the river or on the crest of a mountain or inside a forest: relax with the sounds of nature, the music of the streams, birdsong.
-Observe and recognize the stars
-Summer walk on the high road of the Ligurian mountains on the full moon night
-Observe a field illuminated by fireflies
If, however, you love physical activity, you will be spoiled for choice: trekking, excursions along waterways, mountain biking, biking, climbing, running, horseback riding, snowshoeing, Nordic walking and kayak.
When you come to us we will give you all the information which you can already consult on our website before coming to us.
