Camogli - Charming Apartment Right Over the Sea

The apartment looks directly over the fishermen’s dock and the ferry landing, where you can watch the ongoing maritime activities, as well as the ever changing sea and sky. The 600 year old or so building is adjacent to the ancient Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta and the Castle on the point. What a neighborhood. The interior of the apartment is modernized, is bright and full of light, with owner Consuleo’s sense of color and style. Best suited to a couple, the apartment has a comfortable, large bed similar to a US King size. There is a clothes washer with dryer function, and also built in exterior clothes lines outside the windows. There is also a dishwasher. Kitchen has a four burner gas stove, full size fridge, toaster oven and microwave. Not to mention kitchen knives that are actually sharp! We were there ten days and had everything we needed. There are 2 flights of steep stairs to the apartment to provide your daily exercise. They are a factor to consider if you have aging knees or mobility issues. The staircases do have solid wooden handrails on each side, which can be a help getting up, much like a ship’s ladder. Camogli is a magic place, and you can feel like you are imbedded in it while residing in this apartment. We were sorry to leave.

Very nice appartement, very clean, great view. Need to be able to walk stairs though, as everywhere in Liguria. Camogli offers everything you‘d want. No car needed.

We have quite a nice home ourselves, but this is something different. The view from the window is magnificent and in the same time full of details.You can watch people strolling on the pier, boats of various types and sizes leaving from and returning to the harbor or just look at the sea. On the horizon, giant cruisers look like little Lego toys. There is everything we need, and more. The household is in order, bathroom, small kitchen, heating etc. Works just fine. This is why we keep coming here year after year

The apartment has all you need for a comfortable stay in Camogli. It overlooks the town harbor and the Ligurian coastline. It’s convenient to many shops and restaurants and to the scenic walk through the hillside to neighboring town of Recco. It’s good to note that the apartment is reached by several sets of steep steps if mobility is an issue. We greatly enjoyed our stay and were very pleased with the communication with and from the wonderful host.

The apartment was lovely, and in a great location!

Everything about this flat was terrific, from the booking process, an immediate telephone consultation with the owner, Consuelo (at her suggestion), and terrific guidance closer to the date about where to collect keys, etc. And then the flat itself, which is spacious, remarkably clean and well appointed, and full of colourful, whimsical, and wonderfully practical design touches. We spent five nights, and every day we discovered additional, thoughtful design touches. Even the clothes hangars are interesting. The linens are excellent quality, the appliances all seem new, and one generally has the impression of a place the owner might choose to live in herself. Then there is Camogli itself, which is a beautifully situated jewel on the Ligurian coast. The town bustles with tourists but is not over-run. One can relax and stroll about without a sense of crowding. There are excellent restaurants (“Sa” was our favourite). The views from every vantage point are breathtaking, and none better than out the windows of this flat. The only drawback we can see is that there are some formidable stairs to climb to reach the flat. We are 65+, though, and managed to get up and down with our (somewhat excessive) luggage without a problem. We would go back and do it all again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Consuelo!

The apartment's fascinating elements are the three windows that conjure up the sea in front of you. You could say Three windows with a lovely apartment. Returning after a couple of years, we felt at home from the first minute. Looking at the sea gave the same, familiar feeling as it did last time. We saw again the life in the harbour, piers and molo (breakwater?). We did not see the first fishing boats leave, they goout early, but we spotted the first returning ones. There is a busy water bus service along the coast. You can set up your clock while watching their coming and going. Camogli is a tourist spot of ordinary people, but Portofino with its worldly life is within easy reach. You can also get to Cinque Terre by train or boat. We like hiking in a moderate way, also strolling on the seaside boulevard with its café's and restaurants. L'isola where the apartment is located is actually not an island. Via Garibaldi is a few steps away. A useful hint: when you arrive and leave by train with your luggage, take the lift just opposite the railway station. Thank you for letting us enjoy of a stay in your beloved Casa! Esko T.

We have stayed in a number of short-term rental apartments, and you can always tell the difference when you are staying in a place that is cared for and cherished by its owner, as this apartment is. The apartment is comfortable, interesting, well-appointed and in a truly fabulous location. You will be staying in the medieval Isola section of Camogli, near the castle and church dating from as early as the 13th and 12th centuries, respectively. The apartment looks out on the harbor for the fishing fleet and other boats, offering beautiful and constantly shifting vistas. Signora Accetti is accommodating and welcoming, offering very helpful information about Camogli and the surrounding area and responding to all questions quickly. We highly recommend a stay in Camogli (which is a lovely town) and in this apartment.

We had the wonderful week in Camogli. The apartment was so vibrant with fabulous views looking out into the harbour. The apartment was well equipped and we cooked there on several occasions. The steps to the apartment were steep but we were rewarded with the views and a stillness when we wanted it. We were able to get onto the local beach in minutes and swim in the early morning. Consuelo could not have been more helpful and friendly ensured that the whole stay went very smoothly. I would strongly recommend staying there. Thanks so much.

Consuelo’s apartment is bright and cheery, in a perfect location in Camogli. Just a short walk and a few stairs from the train station and several excellent restaurants. You are only a few steps from the marina which has boat rides to the coastal area of Golfo Paradiso and the 5 Terra. We wish we could have stayed much longer than our short five days. The apartment is immaculate with tons of storage, lots of hangers and washer dryer.
