15th century castle, between Cinque Terre and Portofino, private pool, sea view

It was amazing! Un sogno. See you next year!

This was one of the most magical places I have ever stayed. Every corner of the castle had something interesting: the kitchen was fantastic (we made pizza in the pizza oven), we had drinks in the taverna, lounged in the pool, and had dinners on the balcony overlooking the sea. Prepare to have your jaw drop

This was the best weekend of our lives! Mereta Castle is pure magic — the kind of emotions you simply won’t experience in any other place. We were deeply impressed by the warmth and care from the host and his manager. The house is incredibly beautiful, full of family history going back generations. The garden is so well-kept, and the view of the mountains and the sea is simply breathtaking. If we could give it 100 out of 10, we would, without a doubt! We wholeheartedly recommend this place — whether you’re coming as a family or as a couple. We’ll definitely be coming back here again and again!

Facility was very unique! Family experienced how castle existed since 15th century and still an architectural showpiece. Beautiful grounds and setting. Castle was as listed by owner. Views are spectacular.

The Castle exceeded our high expectations! Staying in a real castle was like a dream come true. All the rooms were beautifully decorated in a style appropriate to the historic nature of the property. There were amazing views from all the windows, the multiple balconies, and the multiple lawn and pool areas. Two excellent restaurants were in walking distance, and a large grocery store was 10 minutes away. So much to see and do within an hour's drive or train ride. Highly recommend the Castle!!

Nice place

Beautiful spot to stay and explore that part of Italy. Winding road to get there but worth it. Very comfortable furniture throughout and well maintained. We didn’t cook meals, but the kitchen was well stocked. Just telling friends that you stayed in a castle built in the 1400’s is worth it.

Beautiful castle and views, Silvia the host was so helpful!

Huge property with historical details. Beautiful pool with scenic views that can’t be beat. Hosts were very accommodating. The inside air was stale from not being aired out. Other than that it was a wonderful experience.

We loved this property. The home is full of antiques but is very comfortable. We did need a car to get to the home. Sylvie recommended the restaurant, Peppen and it was the best place we have eaten in a long time. The owner was gracious and fed us way too much wonderful food. Stay a whole week to enjoy this property and the towns near by. Thanks to Alberto for sharing this home.

My wife and I came here on our honeymoon and we were blown away! It is truly a unique experience to stay in a medieval castle, but even more stunning was the location of the property - nestled in a quiet town in the Italian countryside. The hosts were great and very accommodating, and we had an incredible stay.
