The town of Balestrino in Liguria is comprised of two parts, the city in which people currently live at the base of a hill and an abandoned town atop it. Abandoned since 1953, the mysterious ghost town of Balestrino is eerily beautiful and utterly captivating. Very little is known about the original city's history and origins, only adding to the grand sense of mystery and intrigue that surrounds this most famous of Italian ghost towns. It is one of the most visited and popular ghost towns in the country with thousands of visitors and explorers coming to see it each year. However, with plans to redevelop the area on the cards, time could be running out to visit. If this sounds like something you would be interested in doing, find a luxury villa in Liguria and drop by.

Guest Reviews for Casa del Pernambuco (Ptl205)
Sonnige Wintertage in schöner Umgebung!
Genau das Richtige für Leute, die keine besonderen Ansprüche an Komfort, stilvolles Wohnen und perfekte Ausstattung haben. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt, der Blick hat uns jeden Tag erfreut.Der Vermieter ist sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und humorvoll. Wir konnten uns mit ihm gut verständigen, auch wenn wir kein italienisch sprechen. Die Lage ist ideal für Wanderungen, es geht direkt steil bergauf, oder steil bergab.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Sunny winter days in beautiful surroundings!
Just the thing for people who don't have any particular demands for comfort, stylish living, and perfect amenities. We felt very comfortable, and the view delighted us every day. The landlord is very friendly, helpful, and humorous. We were able to communicate well with him, even though we don't speak Italian. The location is ideal for hikes, with steep climbs and descents right on the doorstep.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes
