Charming House between Olive trees, big garden with amazing sea view

Francesca and CarloStay September 1st to 9th, 2025.I like to thank you both for opening your lovely home to use high above La Spezia. We have enjoyed our time here and created new and long lasting memories of the area. Starting from a beautiful scenic drive along the top of Cinque Terre to the small villages of Vernazza, Manarola and Monterosso. Vernazza was and experiences from the drive down the mountain into the village a the lovely landscapes and a cone of seafood to the sting views of the town. In Manarola we enjoyed a morning Pesto class overlooking the Med and watching locals jumping into the refreshing waters of the Med with the small town of Manarola in the background. The Pesto Class was at Nessun Dorma. Their restaurant was located on the cliffs overlooking the small but quiet harbour of Manarola. The experience was a blast with great music and great energy. We learned about the area and the experience of making Pesto. We highly recommend it to anyone staying in the area. Later that day we traveled to Porto Mirabello in the heart of La Spezia to enjoy an afternoon and sunset on a yacht. We enjoyed swimming under the Castello San Giorgio di Lerici in a quiet bay. This was only topped by the next spot at Spiaggia dei Gabbiani of the island of Palmaria. After relaxing in the refreshing waters our next stop was the town of Portovenere. Here we enjoyed the Gelato as you do when in Italy. Walking through the town we got some amazing views of the start

Excellent location with great views and helpful hosts. This was just what we needed prior to the event we had planned for the Friday (son’s wedding). Would recommend to anyone looking for a place such as this although you will need your own transport to get up and down the hill. Station convenient for Cinque Terre. Fantastic.

Hello, The room under the roof was hot and we have difficult night. The owners were really kild. Thank you for the warm welcome and the local food. Adrien and Julie

Be aware of these owners! We travelled all over the world and for the first time we are forced to leave a negative review. The owner took additional money from us, over 700 Euro outside the contract as a credit for extra guests. At the end there was 180Euro of this credit we we did not use. They not only categorically refused to give it back but also refused to issue a receipt for the money taken. which ended up with an unpleasant confrontation. As for the house lots of things did not look like on the pictures. Many things were missing or broken and all three floors were connected with a terrible spiral staircase made of plastic which was a hazard to use. Huge disappointment for us, who booked this dream vacation from the States six months in advance.!

The property is set in a beautiful location on the hillside with breathtaking views of the le Spezia, Your hosts are very attentive with a host of valuable information. The villa is Very quiet and very well equipped with all you could possibly want with a great welcome pack so don’t worry about your first nights meal your hosts have it covered. I would highly recommend this holiday.

We had a lovely week at this well-presented villa, exploring Cinque Terre, Lerici, Tellaro and our favourite, Portovenere. The villa is well equipped with dishwasher, washing machine and fast wifi. The pictures on the website are helpful, but perhaps don't give the full impression of the villa: there are several levels to the building, with plenty of areas to sit and read; the roof terrace gives beautiful views over the neighbouring hills, and there are good facilities for dining outside. The villa has a kitchen on the ground floor, and a smaller one on the middle floor which is useful for snacks and light meals. Francesca and Carlo were very helpful when we arrived, and kept in contact throughout the week to make sure everything was going well. The road up to the villa is relatively easy to drive, and we were able to park a large car next to the villa. We really enjoyed our visit, and would definitely stay again.

Friendly and helpful Host. Big house equipped with all you need and very clean. Large sunny garden with stunning view from the hills over the city and the harbour. Several big terasses, 1 in the shadow with a roof and 2 in the sunshine. There is a roadblockage further up the hills, so the location is only reachable from one Side of via guglielmo Marconi (from the east) and very quite. The room under the roof has no door. The House has 2 Kitchens.

I already submitted a very complimentary review last week! Where has it gone!

Wonderful place to stay. Wonderful landscapes.
