Absolutely the most charming place we have ever stayed with phenomenal hosts!! Perfect for some quiet relaxation which was just what we needed on our whirlwind trip to Florence & Cinque Terre. Silvia is a veritable font of information which she was happy to provide both before & during our stay. Her suggestions influenced how we planned our trip and made it immeasurably better. Silvia recommended us having a car which would have been better for getting to & from Fornoli but as we didn't want to drive, the next best option is taking a taxi to Aulla for trains - Silvia was happy to arrange for a driver to pick us up as required and Stefano was very reliable. We tried recommended foods and restaurants and were not disappointed! They even went grocery shopping for us to have the fridge stocked with local goodies for our late arrival. When we arrived, the apartment was warm and inviting with tea lights arranged throughout - so lovely! We would absolutely stay here again - fabulous!!

Such a beautiful place this is! Truly magical! Love all the history and the town is really cool. Silvia & Fabio were wonderful hosts! They made us feel welcomed by greeting us as we arrived and with food in the fridge and some wine :) We had our 15 month old son with us and they were kind enough to let us use one of Jacopo's big cars, which our son pushed around the whole time! The people of the village were friendly and welcoming as well :) Our last day there they offered us to stay another night for free (since the next people came later) ! That was a really nice ending to our lovely vacation. We highly recommend this lovely getaway!

Silvia, Fabio and Jacopo were the most remarkable hosts. We had a wonderful stay at this dreamy and unique stone house. Communication was great leading up to our arrival. When we arrived after a 10 hours drive, we were happy to find the fridge stocked with breakfast, as well as some snacks and a bottle of wine. Everything was very clean and tidy. They had also arranged a baby cot 2 year old, which we really appreciated. Our girls enjoyed playing on the beautiful terrace, and Silvia even put out a fun slide for them to play with. The terrace was also perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine. They were always attentive and giving great advice on places to visit. On our last day they even invited us up for cup of coffee which was a lovely gesture and end to our stay at this beautiful place. We definitely recommend coming here :) Thank you Silvia, Fabio and Jacopo!

Silvia and Fabio were just the perfect host. They did everything to make us feel like home. As I am vegan I ask Silvia if she knows a place where to eat vegan and she wrote me a long list just the other night. The apartement is even more beautiful as in the pictures. It´s the perfect location to discover Tuscany and even the coast is nearby. We really appreciate the calm environment, such a beautiful contrast to our loud and busy urban life. We´ll definitely come back one day in summer. Mille grazie Silvia & Fabio!

The stay in Silvia and Fabio's place was an exceptional one. If you are looking for a special local experience rather than a cliche touristic travel, it is a place you are looking for. We have tried two restaurants recommended by Silvia and Fabio. They were amazing. Most important of all, Silvia and Fabio are very hospitable. I worked in a luxury 5-star hotel. Their hospitality is nothing but genuine. They even helped with our itinerary and invitied us to have a coffee with them. This was such an experience and the kind of travelling we are looking for.

Having stayed at a lot of Bed & Breakfasts in my life - I honestly can tell you this was the best one EVER!!! Sylvia & Fabio were perfect hosts and the apartment is gorgeous. The pictures on AirBnb are great but can only be fully appreciated in real life. The views from the terrace are amazing and this Medieval Village is so quaint. We walked to a gorgeous waterfall and historic bridge mere steps away from the apartment which also has a beautiful trail circling the village that takes about 1 hour and was fully enjoyed by my whole family. If traveling in Lunigianna do not miss this airbnb location. Since I have already described the location as picture perfect I must tell you Sylvia and Fabio make their guests feel at home. They were the nicest couple in all of Italy and the only regret we had was that we did not stay an entire week. They thought of everything and the apartment was supplied with all we needed to have a magical 2 days in their village. Dont miss this place!!!!!!!

Fabio and Silvia were great hosts. Where to start....we really appreciated that they picked us up from the station even though it was 6 km away. We were welcomed with our names on a blackboard, wine, and a homemade treat and the house was full of tea lights which was really pretty! They gave us lots of tips on places to go; we really liked Sarzana and the via Francigena footpath which Fabio took us to the start of (which you can walk to the station with - took us just under 2 hours). The house is a sweet little place and the double bedroom feels like a cosy little cave. We didn't need the heating while we were there (in April). If you do it is 5€ for 1m3 of LPG for heating, and it's unlikely you would get through more than a unit a day. There is also a dehumidifier available to use which we didn't need during our stay. The terrace has fantastic views over trees and mountains (maybe the views are more visible when the trees have less leaves, as when we visited). The area and house feel very safe - there is even a CCTV camera watching your entrance door. Everything was very clean and welcoming and there were leaflets and a booklet for info for guests. Silvia and Fabio were on hand throughout for tips on where to eat etc., booking taxis and just being generally helpful. This was our first visit to Italy and we really enjoyed it!

Five stars! Silvia and Fabio's place truly represents the best of Airbnb. First of all, the place is even better than the photos. Your private terrace looks into a pristine forest. The bell tower outside your front door serenades you during the day. You miss the Cinque Terre crowds but can train in conveniently. (Do as we did: Spend the daylight hours in scenic Porto Venere, then take the train to CT late afternoon when the day trippers from the cruises are all leaving.) But perhaps the best thing about staying here was the warm and enthusiastic welcome from Silvia and Fabio themselves. It's clear they would be sensitive to those who prefer privacy, but if you are like us, who really seek out opportunities to meet locals, they will embrace you as old friends. (Sylvia made us a birthday cake and their adorable little boy helped blow out the candles!). It was also like having a private concierge as they offered travel tips, made restaurant reservations, and generally made sure we knew they were just a text away should we need anything. In short, our all-time best Airbnb experience!

People, this is an amazing place to stay. The flat is very spacious, very clean and at night it is very quiet. Internet is fast (so for those who work when travel like me), everything is exactly as advertised. Beautiful interior, super clean and very very cosy! Emanuele is a fine young chap who has traveled a lot himself and by what I've heard spends quiet sometime abroad as well. So he probably knows best about travellers needs. He gives lots of advice and is very helpful ! Also, the hospitality is tops ! You will find a lot of homemade stuff on arrival (although that might depends on season) - I even got homemade cake and bread, which was super tasty ! Unfortunately I wasn't able to finish the bread as in Italy it is all about food and wherever you go there are lots of great restaurants that need to be tried, so my belly was close to explode. Anyway, thank you for the amazing hospitality, and say thank you to whoever in your family made the cake and bread !! The village: Absolutely gorgeous! Very dreamy and Italian. People are very very very nice. There you have everything you need in terms of food and coffee supply. If you look at trip advisor there are two highly rated restaurants there! I was there to cycle so I didn't stay very long - unfortunately! - the major climbs are all very close (within 30min). However, the place is not only ideal for cyclists - there are plenty more things to do! The area is beautiful, full of sights and hiking opportunities - so anyone who loves beautiful views, being outside and experience stuff - this is a great place to start at. I highly(!!) recommend this place. I will certainly come back and visit. There are a lot of climbs still waiting for me !

Our first impression of the apartment was that it is a beautiful, quiet and comfortable place to stay. The rooms are decorated to a high standard and are clean and all amenities are provided. Emanuele was a outstanding host, providing local knowledge, maps, friendly conversation and bread and cakes for our stay. The apartment offers flexibility for you to be social or do your own thing. The town is very friendly and charming with all services such as a bank, pharmacy and supermarket. We had a lovely night watching the locals enjoy a dance festival. We would highly recommend this as a perfect place to relax after your journey or activities.

We had a wonderful time, our hosts made us feel very welcome, the apartment was very clean and well equipped, our family of five had plenty of room and were very comfortable. The location was great we made several day trips to other towns using the local buses.Would defiantly stay again, highly recommended.

We had a very nice stay for 5 nights . Our hosts was extremely helpful and generally pleasant people. I definitely will recommended to anyone who going to the area to stay at this place. There is a good breakfast , apartment fully equipped with everything you possibly need ( micro oven, coffee maker and ect ) also a good location . Thank you very much .

We enjoyed this new stay at Emanuele's flat. Thanks a lot to Andrea (his brother in law) for his welcome, and to his family for its kindness and attentions. Definitely a great place in a charming little city !

Emanuele is one cool italian guy and his cousins are awesome too! This is a very special AirBnb experience and highly suggest if your in the area make the effort. The flat is huge, quiet, and has everything you need. They make breakfast for you anyway you want...yes eggs if you ask. Its all special food and they take you in like family! I joined them one night for pizza night and it was fantastic. The price is great and the town has some incredible hiking near by. His father is wonderful too and he took me to porcini mushroom hunting. A fantastic spot and experience!

Emanuele wasn't there himself, but we had a lovely welcome from his family. The flat is spacious, clear, well equiped, and quiet, in one word very pleasant. Besides, you can enjoy the sun on three balconies, two frontside and one backside...Breakfasts are "high level" ones, with delicious homemade cakes, and all you need for a good start to the day. Chiusa is a lovely little city (with shops and services as described) and so is the surrounding area, with beautiful nature! On sunday, you can take a walk to the very close market. Maybe we'll come back for a longer trip!

We had a wonderful stay here with our 3 year old daughter. We used it as a base for day trips around the Cuneo province. Very comfortable apartment and gracious hosts. The homemade cake every morning was very special too. Small village with everything you need steps away. Immaculately clean and spacious. Highly recommend!

Cristiana was very sweet and made us feel very welcome in her hometown of Corniglia. The view from her room was worth a million bucks!!! We hope to return soon to explore more of this incredible landscape of Cinque Terre.

Christiana and her husband are the best hosts ever! We arrived very late but Christiana took her time and explained us everything. She was really well oranized (train plan, map, etc.). The room looks exactly like on the pictures and got cleaned once a day. Corniglia is the ideal place to discover the region. And you have to visit their vine bar! Many Thanks Christiana for everything.

Cristiana was one of the warmest host we have ever met! She went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable (e.g., even offering to switch on the WIFI so we have late night access even tho the cafe was closed) and even assisted us to identify the best route to Nice. The room while small was very comfortable, clean, warm and well stocked. The view was indeed breathtaking.

What a marvelous place! Great view of Corniglia and the Ligurian Sea from the nice little balcony. Comfy bed and clean bathroom plus a small tv (though you won't need it). Cristiana is a very friendly and welcoming host and communication to arrange check-in is no problem at all. She and her husband also run a little cafe where you get a little breakfast every morning: hands down the best cappuccino we've had in Italy! We have no complaints whatsoever and highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to Cinque Terre. We'd love to visit again!

We had a great experience with our stay in Corniglia. Good instructions about how to get from the train station up to her cafe ensured we made contact easily. Cristiana showed us to the most perfectly positioned third floor room with a view from the balcony of the houses on the hillside opposite and the sea. It is right on the walking trail north and only a short stroll to the cafés, restaurants and shops. The breakfast at the cafe she and Stephano run was a lovely extra at no charge and a very pleasant way to start each day. The room was small but neat, clean, and all we needed, especially as it is in the most beautiful village on the Cinque Terre. We would love to be able to return in the future. Definitely strongly recommend.

The room was small but lovely and clean with an amazing view of Corniglia. Breakfast is included at the host's coffee shop so great value for money. Cristiana was friendly, helpful and responded very efficiently to questions. I would definitely recommend this place.

First of all the Cafe Vin e Pan was extremely easy to find and I was welcomed with a lovely coffee. Cristiana then took me to the room and it was so cute and stunning. Everything I wanted and more. If you are heading to Cinque Terre you must stay here. Great location and directly on the hiking path. I literally turned left one day and turned right the next out of the apartment. Thanks for having me and being the perfect host

Waking each morning, and walking to Pan e Vin was a delight. The food and coffee were wonderful and everyone was so friendly. The town had a very homey vibe, which we loved. I would recommend this room to everyone who was visiting Cinque Terre.

The view is simply amazing and very relaxing to just sit and drink your wine and eat your meal. Everything you need, although a kettle would be a nice addition for those of us that like tea! We had a great time in Lerici. Arabella meets you and takes you right to the place which is great given the secluded location.

The view from Arabella's family cottage is stunning! You get an unobstructed view of Lerici and San Terzano - just enchanting to end the night with wine and cheese on the terrace, with the view at your feet and surrounded by the lush hillside. The cottage is charming, the rooms very nice and comfortable, 2 bathrooms (water pressure great) and kitchenette with dishwasher. We were only there for 2 nuts and would have loved to stay for 2 more - but the rest of Italy needed exploring. Arabella was wonderful hostess and gave us great restaurant suggestions, Pin Bon down the road was delicious - a set menu of the chefs choice for 35 Euro including wine - we were full before the secondi course. There were 8 samples to start, followed by a giant serving of pasta for prime course ... Super value and a must for the food, handsome servers and city views. I would come back again and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Just make sure you are comfortable driving on windy, steep, grave roads, but it's Italy and that is the terrain in this beautiful part of the country. Brava Arabella, we had a wonderful memorable stay.

We really liked our one-week stay in this house. The view is indeed amazing and we could just sit and stare at it for hours. The kitchen is good and we cooked for ourselves often. The area is great, although parking can be difficult at nearby beaches (and impossible on a Sunday in August). The only thing we were disappointed about is that the villa is not as private as we expected. Appearently there was another house attached to this villa which was also rented out, and so your peace and quiet depends on your neighbours who were sitting 2 meters away. Thankfully, most of them were quiet!

Lovely stay, fabulous hideaway in the hills overlooking Lerici and San Terenzo. Fantastic views, very peaceful and relaxing place to stay. Arabella was very helpful and able to meet us so we could follow her to the property, we'd never have found it otherwise...!!

This 2 story villa is located on the top of the mountain you will have to text Arabella so she can show you the way to the house the first day. I recommend you to have a GPS at all times anyways. The villa is beautiful, clean and has an amazing view. Arabella is so nice, it was easy to communicate and the day we checked in she explained everything we needed to know and gave us a lot of useful info. Thanks for the stay !

Beautiful villa! the location is incredible and the view is just outstanding! we spend a few beatiful days there. Villa has everything you need. Arabella was very friendly.

We so enjoyed staying at Arabella's beautiful villa in the hills above Lerici. The accommodation was very comfortable, stylish and perfect for our mini break. The view from the terrace has to be seen to be believed! It is sensational taking in the mountains and a 180 degree view of the sparkling coastline below! As others have said the roads are steep and winding. This was a little scary at first, but once you've done it once it's becomes easy. Arabella was absolutely charming and gracious and an excellent host.

My wife and I stayed at the Villa 4 delightful days in solitude surrounded by beautiful views and nature. A wonderful place to relax from the bustle and concerns. I want to be back there.

This was our first Airbnb experience and we loved it! Margherita was a great host and made the experience of not only using Airbnb, but traveling abroad easy and painless. The location was great with easy access to everything (town square & train station). Margherita offered great tips for exploring the area, local foods, etc. We were more than comfortable with the accommodations and were thrilled to have made the decision to stay here.

The location is perfect. The place is adorable, and the bedroom is breezy. A tiny terrace outside of the bedroom is super clutch for morning reading and wine-fueled nighttime stargazing. Mario, Margherita's brother, in particular is amazing. A total man about town, and fun to run into the whole time we were there.

The view from the apartment was so amazing. We loved sitting on the terrace with wine in the evenings- it made the perfect end to our honeymoon. The bed was comfortable and the shower was amazing. I knew there wouldn't be a kitchen when I chose the apartment, but we still found ourselves missing some kitchen amenities because we had been cooking breakfast every morning on our trip prior to Vernazza. It was fine for three days, but if we were staying longer we probably would have required a kitchen. That view, though, makes it all worth it. :)

The apartment in right next to the central plaza in the village with good restaurants and the harbour within a 5 min walk and also less than 5 min walk from the station. inside the apartment is quite comfortable with comfortable bed , nice view of the main plaza and you can spot the sea as well. Margherita was really helpful with her tips with how to best utilize your stay. Would reccomend the apartment for 2 people looking for a place close to center.

Margherita was very welcoming and very responsive leading up to our stay. She promptly answered all questions in advance of our stay. Additionally, given the location of the apartment is difficult to locate, Margherita met my wife and I at the train station to walk us to the unit. She provided great details about Vernazza on the way to the apartment as well. The apartment itself was great and the view is as good as it can get. We had a lovely stay and would rebook there if we have the opportunity to visit Cinque Terre again.

Margherita was very nice and offered lots of great suggestions for things to do around town. The place is cute and clean and has a great view. We enjoyed morning coffee on the deck. I recommend this place.

Margherita met us at her store in the village on our day of arrival, as promised. She was cordial and gave us alot of useful information about the area, things to do and dining. The apartment was as described and the photos gave an accurate depiction of the listing. The apartment was clean and in order, bed was comfy and the terrace was great. Beautiful views of the harbor and the terraced vineyards! It was harvest time while we were there and we enjoyed watching the farmers pick the grapes, transport them on a little locomotive type train along the hillsides, then carry the grapes through town in crates. Really interesting to see how it is done and how hard the farmers work. We would like to have had a kitchen but, we knew going in that the rental did not have one. Would be nice to have had a microwave. Margherita does have a small fridge and a tea kettle there. Also, the pictures in the listing do not include the new, roomy shower, which was great, and she provides air conditioning, which we used at night, as it was so hot and humid while we were there. Only one negative, for us, to mention. Had we known the amount of stairs to be climbed to reach the apartment building, and then the apt is on the third floor of the building, we probably would have gone with a rental that has a kitchen. We are young senior citizens but it was a bit much for us every time we wanted to grab a bite or go somewhere to climb all of the stairs. I would recommend this apt to anyone not having a problem with so many stairs. The view was great and the apt is right in the middle of town. Margherita was a pleasure to communicate with and always answered emails promptly.

Margherita was REALLY friendly and met us at the train station as we came in from La Spezia. She walked us through the charming town of Vernazza, and showed us how the apartment works. The bedroom has REALLY beautiful views, and it's right in the heart of Vernazza. The only thing to know is that - while there are 2 big beds, one of the beds is in the living room. Also, the shower is very small, making it hard not to make a mess, but the water is good and hot! All in all a great place!

We are grateful to Maurizio for such a wonderful apartment. It has historical spirit which made our beeing there so cozy and romantic. Apartment is just few steps from the sea with an incredible view and fresh oysters in the sea market.

Maurizio welcomed us very warmly. The district in which the apartment is located is pretty quiet. The apartment is very clean. It was everything it needs.

Nice relaxing and peaceful. Great location just steps from the sea.

We received a very warm welcome from Maurizio and he was extremely helpful. The apartment was lovely, full of character and with everything that we needed during our stay.

(Maurizio's place is fine--- please see other review-- we extended our stay by one day)

Maurice and his mother were precise, warm and friendly. We were provided a ticket for the car park, they gave us all the directions to the house and move around. The apartment is very nice, spacious, charming, tastefully furnished and equipped with everything you need. It 's almost on the sea, a few steps from the castle, in the center, in a very characteristic square of the old Lerici. The town is charming. We hope to be back soon ...

Apartment well maintained, clean, centrally located in the beautiful Lerici. We had a great time and treated really well by Maurizio, we did not feel absolutely guests. I highly recommend Maurizio and his beautiful home. Must try !!!

The place is just as described and photographed, and the location is delightful. Mauricios mum was so kind and friendly and the check in was completely hassle free. There are loads of things to see and places to go in walking distance (so come by public transport if you can), but the place is still quiet in the evenings as the square was not noisy at night. The kids loved to sit on the balcony and look down at the folks eating and playing cards in the square.. We had a lovely few days in Mauris place.

We arrived in the evening to the beautiful mountain village of Tivegna and were greeted by Valentina, who graciously helped us carry our bags to her home. We had arranged in advance to have a home cooked meal provided that night, which was spectacular and so appreciated after a long day of travel! We were well taken care of during our short stay and appreciated good communication with our hosts. The house itself is so charming and cozy, a perfect place to rest with incredible views. The kitchen was well stocked, including with a few staples in the refrigerator for us. They provided a baby bed and a highchair, which greatly simplifies traveling with our young son. We only wish we could have stayed a bit longer to enjoy this beautiful home and the surrounding area--unfortunately, the weather was not very good for the hiking we had hoped to accomplish! The only other consideration you might take is that it is quite a trek through winding mountain roads to get up to Tivegna from La Spezia (where we caught the train to visit the Cinque Terre). We enjoyed the peacefulness of being out of the city and in a quiet mountain town and so it was worth it to us, but we wouldn't want to make the trip more than once a day. Highly recommend this place!

Incredible house in anscenic location ,close to Eden.Wonderful host ,really felt like home!If I could I would give the 11 mark !Thank you for your hospitality and allowing us to be your guests!

What an incredible experience. As off the beaten path travelers, this place was exactly what we were looking for. The town itself is a detoured charm and a great alternative to staying in busy Cinque Terra. The apartment is exactly has described if not better. The view is awesome, the kitchen is fully stocked, and Federico and Valentina couldn't have been more welcoming hosts. They even offered us a welcome drink and a fully stocked fridge of wine cheese and various food products. Thank you Federico and Valentina (and dog) for an unforgettable experience.

Frederico and Valentina were incredibly hospitable. Their home was so incredibly beautiful with such a romantic atmosphere. You must drive almost 5 km upwards on winding roads to arrive at the parking spot. It is well worth it. Their home is rich in history and provides charm from the first moment in the door. Valentina offerred to cook a meal which was waiting on our arrival. The food was fabulous . The beds had fresh and crisp linen making for a wonderful nights sleep. Valentina also provided fabulous directions and advice for my trip to Cinque Terre. I look forward to my return some day.

Frederico and Valentina were waiting for us when we arrived. They helped carry our luggage to the room. The whole community welcomed us as we arrived at our room. WOW! The views were amazing. Valentina showed us around. We had arranged for Valentina to prepare a meal for us. It was fresh and very delicious. She left us to enjoy our meal and returned later to check ip on us and washed our dishes. The football finals were happening so Frederico and Valentina walked us through the village to the bar where a big screen TV was set up. Valentina even bought us a bottle of wine before she annd Frederico headed out to enjoy a date night. They were both fantastic hosts. I would highly recommend staying with Frederico and Valentina in their quaint, picturesque setting. You won't be disappointed!

I had the most amazing Airbnb experience at Federico's house. The place is absolutely gorgeous, with an great view of the mountains nearby. You need a car to get there, but it's totally worth renting one to stay at this place. I can't stress enough how spacious and comfortable the rooms were. Federico and Valentina helped us with everything we needed. She cooked us a delicious welcome dinner for a great price. Stop what you're doing and rent this place right now!

Federico and Valentina met us at the town square when we arrived and helped us to the house. They are wonderful, kind, warm and very helpful people. Valentina cooks great dinners. I recommend to everyone to stay in their house.

Definitely the best place we stayed through airbnb. Federico and Valentina were incredible hosts and their place is a hidden gem in the mountains. The views are spectacular, the neighbors super friendly and the house was equipped with everything that you may need. You definitely need a car. It's a good 30-minute drive to the nearest big town "la spezia" where you can take the train to explore Cinque Terre. This is a truly special place!!!

Our stay at Andrea's place was nothing short of amazing. The welcome was warm and gracious, the house itself was spacious, homely and well-equipped, and the views were absolutely breath-taking. Adding to this was Andrea himself, a speedy and helpful host. Would recommend to anyone.

This was a charming apartment in the pedestrian part of Lerici. Great views from kitchen, bathroom and one of the bedrooms. It was also a quiet area so if felt like a real getaway. Our only concern as the wifi. It's fine for checking an occasional email but the bandwidth does not allow YouTube or (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) and is very slow for even emails. If you don't need to be online ( we work from road so sadly, we do) it's of little concern. Go out and eat at the wonderful restaurants in the square or walk the seaside promenade!

Staying in Andrea's home in Lerici was very special. We were welcomed by his mother and made to feel very comfortable. The view is spectacular and the house is impeccably clean and full of character. This air bnb is a perfect balance of being very professional but also very friendly. We really enjoyed the outstanding views, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and all the extra touches like original family paintings on the walls. To add to everything, the private beach is outstanding! We will definitely return!

Thank you very much for hosting us for six nights in this wonderful place in Lerici! Everything went very well, the communication with you as well as the welcome in Lerici, when your mum showed us everything. The house was perfect for two adults and a child, beautifully furnished with your paintings, quiet and a with a splendid view of the sea. We especially loved the little piazza in front of the house, where we spent nice evenings. Our boy was exicted about the Castello just around the corner and his room and the fact (or tale...), that his bed was made out of the wood of a pirates ship... We would definitely come again (if we may...)!

Andreas mother met us and she was gorgeous and so welcoming and helpful. Apartment is amazing, the perfecr location for visiting cinque terre with boats leaving from the piazza everyday. Beautiful views from the balcony and a great little beach close by for swimming. Lovely little village to wander around in an explore and quieter than the cinque terre villages. No car access and there are stairs but we our in our 50's and had 2 large suitcases and it was not a problem.

what an amazing view from our balcony, and in the heart of Lerici! I hope to return again!!!

This was the best Airbnb we have been to! We had such a wonderful greeting, the house was spotless, the views are incredible and Lerici is such a fantastic place for a break. We stayed just the 2 of us but could easily have housed more, it's very roomy. Our wonderful hosts even had a bottle of wine waiting for us on our arrival after a stressful journey. I can't recommend This place enough. We will definitely come again!

Perhaps the view is one of the greatest things of this place - it was so amazing to have a breakfast every day with this spectacular view. Location is also good - in the historical part of the town on the top of the hill. Arrival was easy - Andrea's mother met us at the bus stop, showed the apartment and gave us useful information about the town. In overall everything was good! And we really liked the town itself - small, charming and atmospheric.

Hi . Federico. Great to see u n stay ur sweet home. This place is best i ve been in italy . So warm n quite. I want be there again. If anyone visit there u can hear great italy country sound over windows.

Federico was very helpfull. Sadly we couldt meet him personlay but his Fater took very good care of us. Pinto is a very sweet, friendly and funny man. This was one of the best places we ever stayed. The whole village is super friendly and we imediatly fellt like amongs friends and family. The house is historlycal but newly renovated. It was very clean and cosy oh and the breakfast jams and jellys where great. In the town is a small very cute pizzeria who makes some awsome pizzas. A bit up the hill is the PinBon a great local seefood and fish restaurent (great food and good prices) the owner and staff are also very friendly. And let me tell you about the neighbors, sutch sweet and nice people. All i all i can only absolutly recomend this beautifull BnB. Grazie per tuto e speriamo a presto. Mille baci e saluti ance a Pinto e Roberta (e a Brig)

The best place when you want to see the beauty of Italia. Federico and his sister are very hospitable. The apartment is perfect! Very clean and everything looks like you are the first one who stay In the apartment. They also provide you whit homemade jams and eggs and tomatoes from the farm who are delicious. We traveled for 2.5 weeks in Italia and this 2 nights where the best stay during our holiday. Thank you!

Lovely apartment with great views! Federico and his father are very nice. Apartment is a bit hard to get to from La Spezia Centrale without a car (there is a bus that runs every couple of hours during the daytime), but Federico's father solved that by offering us a ride to and from the train station. Our late check in was accommodated. Would stay here again.

Overlooking the countryside of La Spezia and the Bay of Poets is the little village of Pitelli. It was our host, Federico, who informed us of the many places to see in the area and we were able to optimize our trip with a quick visit to San Terenzo and Lerici. A fortified castle is present in each of the two towns and the promenade along the beach makes it easy to journey between them. Federico also recommended a delightful restaurant (Stralunà) that offers excellent service and food. Our apartment was modern and recently furnished. We were also given a little breakfast basket with homemade jams. The apartment was also not far from the parking lot at the entrance of the village. The highlight of our visit was a tour of the village provided by Federico. Unfortunately, had to leave early the next morning because we would have loved to stay a few more days in Pitelli.

We would like to thank Federico for the warming stay in La Spezia. Location is really great and close to Cinque Terre. Apartment is modern and clean! You find everything you need. Especially the breakfast was amazing with organic yogurt and homemade jams and honey! Federico speaks very well English, French and Italian :). We will definitely recommend this apartment!

We had an amazing stay at Federico's apartment. His sister meet us from the bus to show us the way to the house and was really helpful. The house is clean and well thought. The location is about 20-30 minute bus ride away from La Spezia, in a lovely quiet village. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet, yet it was still very accessible for day trips through the Cinque Terre. The honeys and jams, and the breakfast provided in general were amazing. Our favorite was the Chestnut Honey. Would definitely stay again, and recommend this to others

Federico, you have a beautiful place, absolutely amazing and you also have an amazing father! He was so friendly and accommodating. He even took us to your brother's farm and to the rooftop of your father's home so we can see a good view. The place us perfect, great view, especially at night! The place is well thought out, beautifully renovated and fully equipped. I think we were really lucky to have stayed at your place. it was spotlessly clean and a real pleasure to live in. You're all really amazing people Federico. I hope to come back again. :)

We had a great time. We would have stayed longer but we were able to do so much with our location.

If you prefer a quiet, secluded piece of Cinque Terre this is the place. Located between Vernazza and Corniglia, Pierpaolo has a beautiful property high above the crowded towns. Fruit trees, vegetable garden, outdoor kitchen, and a picknic table make for a memorable experience. I sat for hours eatching the sunset sipping Cinque Terre wine and all I heard was the ocean and birds. Pierpaolo has a little slice of heaven in Italy. It made our trip to Cinque Terre.

This is a wonderful place to stay. The view is beautiful, the room and shower are outstanding, and the kitchen and herb garden are excellent touches. Pierpaolo is a tremendous host, and having him pick you up from Corniglia is invaluable. Highly recommended.

We stayed two nights at the Heart of Cinque Terre, and were very happy with our stay. Just like advised, the room was small and situated a long way from any of the villages, but the view was breathtaking and the garden lovely. Pierpaolo was happy to pick us up from Corniglia any time that suited us - we ended up not arriving until about 9 pm, and he was still hapy to collect us. We especialy liked the lovely, clean and well-equipped outdoor kitchen - so nice to be able to cook outdoors!

Wouah! An amazing place and a great host so available always ready to help you if you need and respect your privacy. Our 2 boys (8&12 years old) my husband and I really enjoyed our time at Pierpaolo place. We highly recommend this place. A car is not necessary, it is better to park at la spezia central station, only 10min by train and about 50min by car.

Pierpaolo's home in the sky was the most special place we have ever stayed. It is obvious that every last detail was thoughtfully considered, and even though you are outside, it is impeccably clean. Pierpaolo was so helpful with giving us directions, picking us up from the train station, and even offering vegetables and herbs from his garden. It is a truly magical place for people seeking an authentic experience just off the beaten path. We are so grateful.

Pierpaulo is the poet laureate of this small slice of paridise. Our stay in Cinque Terra was perfect. If you decide to stay anywhere else in Cinque Terre you've made a terrible mistake. But you can always enjoy this area when you stop during your hike from Corniglia and Vernassa.

Pierpaolo was great! We came late, and he waited for us and all with kindness and smile. The place is amazing right on the blue path with easy access to vernazza. The parking was very close to the house. Pierpaolo explained to us about places to go and the best hours for the walks and the trains. Abselutly recomended!! The best place in cinque terre! Thank you!
