Apartment/ flat - Sestri Levante (Genova)

Gaetano's apartment is a lovely place to stay in a lovely town. It is clean, well-equipped, spacious and has very effective air conditioning. It is in a very tranquil setting, with beautifully kept gardens and majestic views over the town and hills behind. Gaetano's hospitality and communication were excellent. We would thoroughly recommend it and would love to stay there again.

Wonderful host, amazing gentleman. Easy access to beaches, old town, and station. The only drawback was the numberof steps to access the property.

The apartment corresponded to the description in the offer. It was clean, the kitchen was well set up and the air conditioners worked. The host has prepared documents about the area and for excursions and welcomed us warmly. It was a successful stay and we enjoyed Sestri.

about a km outside of downtown so great to have to walk and easy walk. host is delightful, multilingual and multitalented . very private and comfortable. only caveat there are lots of steps up to property so not for the infirm. but we are in our 70s and it was not an issue for us. would definitely stay again .

The Host Gaetano is very friendly and open and helpful, and you can't ask for more. The apartment is as described and well equipped. The one thing I would say is missing is a toaster! Not so popular in Italy maybe, but it would have been useful. Otherwise, it has everything you need. The Parking is really a plus for this apartment. Not only do they have private parking, but it is secure and covered, so the car stays cool! So many other holiday apartments in Italy either have nothing, or only offer parking on the street (often at additional cost). So this really is very good. That the train station is also fairly close is also a positive. The best way to get to the Cinque Terre and Porto Fino, and other places is by train, and we used this a lot. One can walk to the supermarket, town centre, beach, and train station. My only complaint would be that the 2nd bedroom got very hot, which for our young daughter was not so good. There is no air conditioning in the bedrooms and the air-con from the main area does not get into them, so it is difficult to cool it down.

My husband and I stayed here for five days with our 14 month old. The flat was beautifully decorated with built in shelvings, art and custom paint trim that gave it a really fun, Italian beach vacation vibe. Here are some highlights and notes: - Sparkling clean flat. I have never stayed in a cleaner place and it put us immediately at ease. - Terrace has beautiful views of the hills and town and is a nice way to unwind with a glass of wine after a hot day. It is not babyproofed, with open rails and staircase so we did not let the baby run around on it. The apartment itself was very toddler friendly. - The bedroom has a small couch and queen bed. The living room has a couch with pull out bed. There are extra linens and towels and even 4 bath robes. - The kitchen had what we needed to cook our meals every day. - The bathtub was spacious and comfortable. - There are skylights throughout the flat and every window is equipped with versatile German windows. There is also an A/C unit. - There were useful extras like citronella candles, beach towels and a beach umbrella. - The walk was long, perhaps 20-25 minutes to the Bay of Silence but we didn't mind it. It was a flat walk with lots to see and two grocery stores along the way that we stopped at daily (a bio/organic store and the bigger Coop). - There are several flights of stairs to get from the gate to the flat. This was a surprise but not a game changer. - The flat is in the attic space so it has pitched ceilings. My tall husband did bang his head several times but he still loved the flat and said he'd stay there again. - Gaetano lives below. Gaetano was a kind and gracious host, accommodating our every request promptly and picking us up and driving us to the train station which was a boon with all of our luggage. You can tell he has tried to think of everything to make the flat as comfortable and delightful as possible. Overall, we were very happy with the accommodation and would highly recommend it to anyone.

we enjoyed the apartment,which was comfortable, sunny and cozy.View was spectacular. What made more pleasant was Mr. Zambon. the owner. He took us sightseeing, shopping and a perfect guide. Location was good. A number of steps to climb, We are both over 80 but had no problem Toni and Martha Crivici we wp

A clean and cute apartment on the fringes of Sestri. A 15 min walk into the centre of town. The area felt safe and peaceful. Our host was very accommodating, offering to collect us from station, take us on an excursion. Everything was explained about the apartment. There was a hidden charge of 20 euros on the last day for aircon. That was the only disappointment as we thought it was included in the price. Other than that we had a lovely holiday.

We have stayed in many apartments in France, Spain and Italy and this was our favourite. The apartment was bigger than we expected. The bedroom is large and there is a full size bath. The kitchen is OK and the sitting room is excellent with a three sitter settee and two comfortable chairs. There was lots of storage and all the rooms have plenty of light. Right outside the door is a terrace with enough room to eat and relax. From there there is a nice view over the town and a lovely view over the hills. As an extra bonus you have the use of a small area of garden with welcome dappled shade. It is a level 15 minute walk into town and the sandy beach at the Baia Silenzo, Despite being so close to everything the apartment is really quiet which for Italy must be almost unique. The only thing noisier than the crickets was the church bells. Gaeanto is a charming and interesting host. Take the opportunity to have a chat. So lots of positives, we haven't any negatives.

We had a great week in Sestri Levante. The accommodation is bright, airy and spacious for a one-bedroom apartment. The balcony, just off the living area, is perfect for meals outdoors and has the bonus of scenic views. The local supermarket, only a short walk away, has a good variety of local produce that can be cooked up in the well-equipped kitchen, and the restaurants are not far away. Gaetano, the owner, is friendly and very helpful. Sestri Levante is a very convenient base for exploring the local region, and has the benefit of feeling more Italian than the Cinque Terre towns, which are very popular with foreign tourists. We did not take as many excursions as planned because we enjoyed Sestri Levante and the apartment so much.
