Sheltered within the grounds of Villa Bombrini, the house is surrounded by nature. The exclusive garden is bordered by fragrant flower beds, shaded by a magnificent centuries-old magnolia.

The pool with jacuzzi — 90 cm deep, unheated, salt water system with 4 hydromassage jets — is perfect even for young children. Open from April/May until the end of September, depending on weather conditions.

At the rear, a sun terrace and outdoor shower complete the wellness area. A charcoal barbecue is also available in the garden.

A unique house
and a curious name

A late 16th-century hunting lodge, rediscovered by chance in the 1950s, lovingly restored and transformed into the Relais that welcomes guests today.

And if you're wondering why it's called Rantegosa… the answer lies in friendship, a Genoese nickname and a story worth reading.
