You can find us in a small valley named Colomba, called a long time ago “Bumpkin”, but the residents preferred to change the name, who knows why, maybe because “Bumpkin” meant “peasant”… The villa is accessible by an ancient road that goes through the town of Giucano and Carignano (beautiful road), but that, many years ago and again, just after the second World War, served as a commercial road from Parma and the region Emilia, traversing the Appenines.
Every year, there is a hike with donkeys that goes from Emilia retracing the ancient road ( www.aria-aperta.it ).
For hikers, you can find us near Via Francigena and the trekking circuit of Lunigiana, on the partisan paths (there is a fantastic multimedia museum of the resistance in Italy, located in Canepari). There is a path maintained by the C.A.I (Italian Alpinist Club) for mountain-bike and hiking aficionados. For those who arrive in car, we are 7 km from Sarzana, on a road with many curves, but if you arrive once, it is very simple, 10 minutes.

Take the exit off the highway for the Centro Storico di Sarzana, after the third stoplight, take the first turn right, Via San Francesco, then follow the directions for Giucano and Fosdinovo, arrive at an intersection with many signs, one of them being Ristorante il Faro. Follow the road under the restaurant, where the road turns to the right, and there is a secondary, smaller road that goes left and down, called Via Colomba, take it, 900 metres, there will be a small bridge on the left, drive over it, and 100 metres, you are at Borgo della Colomba. After unloading your luggage and arranging your room, we ask that you park your car right after the bridge on the right, because here the space is very tight. If someone has issues with walking, tell us and you may leave the car close to the villa. Also, we ask that you bring a light of some kind, flashlight, for the nights, and bring something to fend off insects, a cream or spray of some sort, We have very few mosquitoes here, thanks to the blackbirds, but there are still some.
Follow the road out of Sarzana that brings you toward Giucano and Fosdinovo. The turn for Borgo della Colomba is on the left, just before the restaurant Il Faro. If you pass the turnoff for Fosdinovo, heading downhill on the right, you’ve gone too far.

It exceeds three traffic lights to you ( + ) then arrived to the round ( O ) turn on the left feeding Via S. Francesco and continue for Giucano - Fosdinovo; the indications for the restaurant Il Faro can be equally followed. Shortly before catching up the aforesaid restaurant it is arrived to a crossroad.
