Residence Al Borgo

Tellaro, ancient and picturesque village probably of Etruscan origin, on the seaside 3 km from Lerici, is characterized by a square meeting which is overlooked by several businesses and the historic center, fully embraced the rock.

Narrow arteries, under continuous vault almost completely connected to each other, lead to the sea in the square in front of the port. Around the church, built on a rock overlooking the sea like a ship ready to take off, there are the houses, enclosed each to the other.
In Tellaro, in its square, the road ends: over, rocks on the sea defend the intimacy of great beaches, pristine and wilderness, which can be reached from the sea only by special services: the "spiaggioni", ideal for lovers of freedom and silence.

A few steps from Tellaro towards Lerici, behind a charming cliff full of atolls and ravines, paradise for wildlife, there are the beaches of Fiascherino: such a suggestion, an explosion of emotions and link between real and divine, from which great poets and writers such as Byron, Shelley, Stanley could never leave.
Who knows what would have happened to Tellaro if a legendary octopus had not woken up all the inhabitants, ringing the bells of the church and allowing them to successfully face the Saracens!

In fact the legend tells that Tellaro, today placid village, which is reflected in the waters of the Ligurian Sea between Lerici and Bocca di Magra, was once the subject of the "care" of pirates and buccaneers who did not disdain to make lightning raids on the coast pillaging of food and treasurs and maybe even to kidnap the women of the country. Tellaro itself is the town built by the survivors of Barbazzano, near a village destroyed by the pirates.
If of Barbazzano only ruins remain, different and more fortunate was the fate of Tellaro, so that the writer Mario Soldati, who there wanted to spend most of his old age, had to define the country as "a nirvana between sea and sky among the rocks and the green mountains."
