This is the worst accommodation I have ever experienced. We booked the apartment for 4 people, but in reality there was only one set of bed linen and towels for just two people. The apartment is not just cold — it is extremely damp. The windows and doors are covered with moisture, the pillows are wet, and it is impossible to sleep. The heating does not work, and at night it feels like sleeping in a basement. An additional “bonus” — cockroaches freely moving around the apartment. This is no longer about comfort, but basic sanitation. The coffee machine does not work, and there is no tea, although these are usually considered basic amenities. It feels like the place was not prepared for guests at all. A complete mismatch with the description and even the most basic living standards. I do not recommend this place under any circumstances — a ruined stay and wasted money.l

“We loved the village, and the picturesque apartments”
In a beautiful position, up a steep twisty road in a tiny scattered village. Car essential. Good access to the motorway and to the Cinque Terre villages. A satnav is helpful though,

“Hidden gem, perfect for family”
What a lovely hidden gem this place was! Quiet, clean, with a great view. The village is perfect for a stroll through narrow cobbled streets - go upwards from the apartment. 20 minutes away from Levanto, another great town for beach lovers. After a day at the beach, it was great coming back to a quiet apartment, facing the mountains. There's also a terrace and dining room at your disposal.

“A really good value for money option near Cinque Terre.”
Very quiet and cute little location not far from Cinque Terre. Lovely view from the communal terrace. Breakfast was authentic Italian style.

Nice and pleasant accommodation with a beautiful view in a stylish town in the mountains above Cinque Terre. Excellent accessibility from the highway and to the sea in Levanto. An ideal choice if you want to cool down a little after a day at the sea and sleep in pleasant night temperatures.

The place is located in a lovely and quite countryside, it is very close to Levanto (just 10 min by car). The room was very clean and bright, and the breakfast was really good. The owner was really friendly, she also gave us some useful tips for our trip. Would definitely recommend it! 😊

“Everything was perfect, I warmly recommend! Thank you very much!”
Perfect stay! The house is located in a calm, charming, small village (don't forget to take a walk around!) in the mountains, easily accessible by car, right next to the highway. 20 minutes by car from Levanto (where you can take the train to visit Cinque Terre), 40 minutes from Santa Margherita Ligure (where you can take the boat to visit Portofino). The view is breathtaking. The room is comfortable and we had everything we needed. The host is very nice and she sent us all the information we needed before we arrived to get the keys easily. There is a charming restaurant down the street where you can eat very good traditional dishes.

“When we ever come back to Cinque Terre, we will stay here again definitly”
Big room! Nice and clean. Parking easy. Owner is nice. If you are driving, the location is right beside the highway, very convenient. Only the last 200m is steep, but there is almost no car come from the opposite direction. A small and sunny balcony, it’s good enough for us to wash and dry our clothes with few hours. Full kitchen equipment. The restaurant at the main road is good, try the Pesto Foglie! Around Cinque Terre area, room rate are much higher and vacancy is low. So to stay here and drive to Monterosso is only 35 minutes. And from Monterosso you can take train to all other 4 villages.
