Authentic. Genuine. Warm. Mario and Paula took us into their family and community, and provided us with phenomenal hospitality and a brilliant, unforgettable experience. It is not a cliche to say staying in Castello with these fantastic people is a once in a lifetime experience chance: to be part of village life, stay in a beautiful restored house and share time and food (if you are lucky) with Mario and Paula. We were fortunate to spend New Years Eve in Castello with the community, and it rates as our most memorable to date. Local food, dancing and a phenomenal community spirit and ambiance. Such hospitality and genuineness is often rare. We would recommend to anyone looking to experience authentic rural Italian life to immediately stay with Mario and Paula. Phenomenal Experience, Phenomenal People. We cannot thank you enough!!!!!

My little son (17months old), my wife and I spent lovely holidays at Mario's. To put it simply- we were very happy there! The house itself is comfortable and furnished with a very good taste. We had opportunity to bake an italian pizza in a wooden stove and to eat meals at the terrace with a splendid unforgettable view. During evenings we enjoyed the glow of fire logs in the iron stove in the leaving room. Mario and Paola are caring hosts and warm people, it was a pure pleasure to meet them ( and to taste some mouthwatering food from their garden and their homemade grappa:)). We found all people of Castello and Veppo very friendly (it was very nice to meet them at the local bar as well). About the surrondings- its hard to describe the beauty of nature in Val di Vara with words. When you're there definately take a walk in Alta Via dei Monti Liguri and visit the nearby villages of Beverone and Suvero. Grazie Paola e Mario for beautiful relaxing time at your place!

There is this tiny village up in the Ligurian mountains of Italy, 20 minutes from the autostrada to La Spezia. The village is named Castello, at the end of a curly mountain road where you can park your car. We entered the village by foot, a picturesque little maze of ancient houses stack upon each other and the mountain, without other tourists and shops, except the little shop around the mountain corner. We asked for Mario and Paola, the vital pensioners and owners of the restored spacious accommodation with a terrace that offers a great view on the valley. They live in their own restored house and gave us a warm Italian welcome. During our stay they invited us for a drink a couple of times and treated us to local wine, fruit, Italian ice cream and the history of the region and Castello, all in English, or French if we wanted. We enjoyed their hospitality, the conversation and the evenings with them and felt sorry we had to leave.

Our stay in Veppo was perfect. We felt very welcome from day one. Paola and Mario put some cheese, salami, home baked bread and wine ready before we arrived. They were very warm, gave us lots of tips for places to go, they asked us out for lunch in la Spezia, and we had dinner together in our kitchen once. There were two ovens, one gas and one with real fire. We loved cooking on this last one, and miss it so much now we are home. The rest of the house is perfect, there's everything you need and it's tastefully furnished with nice paintings on the wall. The hamlet Castello is very small, the alleys are so narrow a car couldn't get in. It's part of Veppo, a village that consists of four hamlets. In the centre is a bar where you can get good coffee(as everywhere in Italy) and an alimentari, where you can buy good-quality food. It's one hour by car to go to the coast, which is crazy beautiful. We would defenitely come back.

Mario and Paola are great hosts! Very friendly, hearty and helpful. Me and my friend enjoyed our stay a lot! The place is just beautiful, very peaceful and quiet. It's a perfect location for people loving nature, willing to relax, hike, explore interesting places and forget the city :). Apartment is comfortable and cosy, with perfect balcony to eat or drink something and enjoy the view! Words and even pictures can't show the beauty and character of this place...

It was the greatest experience we've ever had while housing in an Airbnb apartment. The house is located in a very quite and tiny village surrounded by beautiful mountains. We had our meals on the terrace enjoying the great view. We felt really comfortable during our stay. Most of all we were pleased to meet Mario and his wife who are really great hosts and the warmest people. Thank you very much for the great experience, Mario!

Beautiful hosts, welcoming community, generous hospitality and a warm home. My wife, infant daughter and I will remember our stay in Veppo with Mario and Paula as one of the bright shining stars in our six week tour of Italy.

A well-equipped, beautifully furmished and spacious flat in a charming out-of-the-way location, in a renovated stone house at the end of a typical Ligurian "borgo" with stunning views out over the hills and down the valley from the balcony. Mario and Paola are the most welcoming of hosts and really went out of their way to make our stay a truly enjoyable experience and ensure we made the most of what Val di Vara/La Spezia and the beautiful Ligurian coast has to offer during the relatively short time we we there. We hope to come back some day soon!

Extremely nice lady! Great family! Would definitely go back! Very professional! Thank you Silvia

A nice and quiet place in an small old and genuine italian village. Silvia and her mother was a lovely host with great tips where to eat and visit.

Silvia's little house was very nice and charming, just as in the pictures. We went there with a 3 year-old kid and a 1-year old toddler, and we found the house convenient, except perhaps the staircase for babies. What's more, what you don't see from the photos is that it is in a beautiful little village on the top of a mountain, fresh, green, and quiet in summer, unlike the seaside towns and villages (including the amazing Cinque Terre). It is nice to have a walk in that village (Bracelli) and its surroundings, and we really enjoyed spending evenings in the terrace in front of the house. It is also well located, in between the two 'gates' to Cinque Terre (la Spezia and Levanto). Silvia and her family were lovely and open, they really made us feel at home. Their advice were really helpful, especially since we found it hard to get practical information elsewhere. Finally, a word for French people: Silvia parle parfaitement Français!

The photos just don't do justice to this little piece of paradise. Silvia's cottage is incredibly cute and perfectly set against the backdrop of Cinque Terre's rolling green hills. A wonderful country getaway. Silvia herself was lovely, giving us personalised tips on the surrounding area and her neighbouring family were so very friendly and hospitable to us. Highly recommended!

A charming house in a picturesque village! We stayed 2 nights at Silvia's place and we had a great experience. The house is at short driving distance to Cinque terre but away from the tourists. It is clean and cosy and Silvia's mom is very kind and hospitable. Don't hesitate to book it!

It was a dream village near cinque terre!!! Beautiful scenery and calm area..typical italian traditional place :-) we loved it! The accomodation was clean and really nice! Silvia was very kind and she helped us with our trip organization!! Děkujeme moc! :-)

Nous avons passé un séjour incroyable à Bracelli! Silvia et sa famille sont adorables et de bons conseils! Nous avons été ravies de pouvoir nous retrouver au calme le soir apres l'agitation des Cinque Terre!!

Ho prenottato questa casa per i miei genitori. Di quello che mi hanno detto : erano contenti. Il soggiorno è stato molto piacevole in una casa carina. Le ospite erano molto simpatiche e accogliente. Molto consigliato ! C'è bisogno della macchina per girare come è nella montagna. J'ai réservé pour mes parents cet hebergement. Ils étaient très contents. Le sejour était très plaisant. La maison était jolie et les hôtes très sympatiques et accueillantes. Ils conseillent. Il faut une voiture pour pouvoir circuler dans la région

We had a wonderful exceptional tranquilo pleasant stay.  La spezia is 10 minutes away by car so it is a great place to start a journey in the riviera of Italy. The breakfast was really amazing... excellent food with homemade goodies by the family. Both David and Roberta  were exceptionally  nice and friendly. They always wanted to help with tips to plan the perfect stay for your taste and needs.  David is such a positive guy that you can always hear him saying :exactly, absolutely :-) he is very intelligent as well so we had very interesting conversations with him about politics, history etc  The room downstairs was very nice  and big.. It is a very old building so don't expect a modern hotel, we really loved this place!    The most beautiful part was the area.. Surrounded with never ending green yards...really amazing..  We hope we can get back one day..  Thanks so much guys for having us at your little heaven..

Excellent. As we approached we called David who provided good directions as this is a semi rural location. We were greeted with a glass of wine. The room was very nice and as described and warm. David recommended a restaurant which met our criteria and was very good. Breakfast was excellent including cooked eggs. Our hosts spoke very good English. Highly recommended.

This is by far the most wonderfull place we have experienced with AirBnB! David and his wife made us truely feel at home at their mountain residence. They gave us maps and information about the Cinque Terre area which was priceless. The breakfast was very nice with local and homemade food. The evenings where cool and the breeze was a nice change to the temperature by the sea. I wished we had spend more time here!! Best regards and love Julie and Morten

This is definately the best experience B&B of my life! David is the most generous, joyfull and helpfull host we've met. We have loved to share his local wine, his homemade beer and other preparations delicious. He knows the good place to go, to avoid the tourist crowd and still with the best views. Besides, it is probably one of the only b&b where your breakfast is served from 7h30 till .... 12h30 :-), love it!!

Hi All We found David, his wife and the property all to be an absolutely wonderful choice. The property was easy to find with GPS right on the mark. Room was clean and tidy, David most helpful in every respect and more. They went beyond the required level to make us happy, informed and satisfied. Recommend Locanda Del Papa for anyone wanting relaxed economical accom out of the rat race of Cinque Terra but close by when you want to go there. Geoff

What a lovely experience, nestled right up high in the beautiful hills of the La Spezia area... Quaint and charming, we loved our stay with David at Locanda del Papa! David was the most hospitable and gracious host we could have imagined, was eager to fill us in on the local spots and transport routes. The little highlight would have to be Maya, the house mascot! Thank you David for a terrific stay - Crispin & Vlado

This place was amazing! I can honestly say, this was the best BNB we had on our 11 day trip with 5 different BNB's. Very welcoming, great and kind people, they went above and beyond to help you. And the view! And the breakfast! I have nothing but good words for David and Roberta. I wished we could have stayed longer.

David and Rebecca were very helpful during our visit to La Spezia area. They provided maps and helpful travel hints that made our day trip to Cinque Terre very easy The accommodations were lovely and we enjoyed a delightful breakfast on the patio overlooking their farm land. We would definitely stay here again!

Desiree is a wonderful host. She was super attentive to our needs and even came out to find us when we were lost coming to the house! The room was clean and well-stocked with food and towels and supplies. The location of the house is on a mountain road only ten minutes from La Spezia so we had a very easy time parking and getting to the train station. The first train stop in Cinque Terre (Riomaggiore) is only an 8 minute train ride! Desiree's home is very nice and has ample outside space for breakfast and hanging out :) Her family is very sweet and kind and we would stay again when we can!

Dèsirèe was perfect. She gives me plenty of info about the region. All was as expected. The place is really close for La Spezia and the place is really calm and nice.

I want to thank Dèsirèe for being such a wonderful host! This was my first time booking an Airbnb in Italy and I could not have picked a more wonderful person to be my first host. The guest house was nice and quiet and I got to watch her three cats playing out in the yard, which was a bonus for me. It was about a 10 minute drive to and from the train station which thanks to Dèsirèe was super convenient because she offered me a lift to and from the station. She was absolutely lovely and filled the little flat with so much food just for me! even though I was only there for one night, She really made the place feel like home. I am hoping to stay with her again some day soon!

Desiree was a great host and made my stay very comfortable. She kindly picked me up at the train station in La Spezia when I first arrived and again after a day spent touring in Cinque Terre, so I was able to see everything that I wanted to even after the buses from town had stopped running. The apartment is high in the Ligurian hills and a great spot to enjoy a quiet day relaxing.

Was a beautiful experience in such a lovely place. Helped during my two days stay. The room was big and very clean. I had all I needed and more. Was a great choice and I am very pleased to have met Desiree and her family. Was a wonderful 2 days and many thanks for being so kind

Perfect stay and perfect host in our holidays in Italy! If you are looking for a natural place, quiet, good temperature with fresh air, to see the stars on the sky, and maybe have a good conversation with the host, this is the place for you! Close to La Spezia and perfect to go with your own car. Besides, she gaves us a very nice kit of products to have for breakfast. Thanks for all Desiree and greetings to your family, and cats!

Désirée is an amazing host, so kind, with lots of attention !! She does everything to make you feel comfortable and I felt like at home! :) I wish I could stay longer and if I come back in the area I won't hesitate to call Désirée! Don't hesitate one second to come here, the place is quite, in the Nature, not far from La Spezia, just perfetto! Grazie mille Désirée encora !! Wish you and your family all the best!!

Desiree was such a lovely host. She made me feel very very welcome. lots and lots of food for breakfast! Her house is a little way out of the town which made it a nice relaxing place to stay and it is very easy to get into town with a bus ride.

Donatello and Guiliano were incredibly gracious hosts to our family! They made us feel so welcome in their lovely home and were so helpful to us in planning our visit to the Cinque Terre. The apartment was very nice, very quiet, and very clean. And Donatella made us an amazing breakfast every morning. Thank you for such a great stay - we recommend it to anyone wanting to visit the Cinque Terre!

Our stay with Giuliano and Donatella was like being welcomed home by family. It was the only B and B experience of our trip which gave us a chance to really relate to the people who live full time in the region on a personal level. When we arrived, Donatella greeted us with warmth and hospitality, a cold drink, and snacks in hand. Giuliano was at English speaking classes but arrived shortly thereafter winning us over with his enthusiasm and personality. We found them both to be charming and genuine. Both mornings we were served a delicious breakfast of home baked goods and cappucino to get our day started. Giuliano even guided us into LaSpezia himself to catch the train to the Cinque Terre. They provided invaluable advice for exploring the area including Portovenere(which we had not planned to see) and Verona on our next journey to Venice. We are very grateful for their advice since those turned out to be two of our favorite stops. The apartment was clean and beautifully appointed with a stunning view from the balcony and privacy. The restaurant at the bottom of the hill was fabulous and friendly so we chose it as our dining destination both nights of our stay. We would love to go back again and even volunteer to help them harvest their grapes!

Donatella and Guiliano were absolutely fabulous hosts! From the beginning our email exchanges were very nice and upon arriving at their lovely home they offered us an aperitif and gave us information and good ideas of what to visit in the Cinque Terre area. They have a beautiful home and we had an entire floor to ourselves with a private bathroom and terrace. In the morning we were spoiled by Donatella's absolutely delicious Italian pastries Mmmmmmm!!! A wonderful experience all around! Thank you!

We arrived very late at night after a long and eventful journey. Donatella and Guiliano waited up for us and greeted us like old friends. Everything about their home was what we expected from the photos. The beds are very comfortable. Donatella made us a lovely breakfast each day. They were both very helpful in advising us how to get to various places like the Cinque Terre and the Marble Cave. ( just make sure you go to the small ticket office on the left as the large one is for a tour up the mountain to the quarry, not the cave, although it is still spectacular. ) we enjoyed our stay immensely and would love to go back one day.

When we arrived whe got a warm welcome. Like we were old friends. We got a drink an a bite. The house was perfect. We had our own floor. We had a little workshop. We made tiramisu and pasta pesto. It was dellicious. They have a great house and beautiful garden. Really quiet and relaxing after a day walking. Donnatella and guilliano are really great people and great host. They helped us with everything. And the homemade cake from donatella was delissious.We recommend them and hope to see them in holland. Best regards Fred and ellen

Donatella and Giuliano are very nice persons. When we arrived, they welcomed us with an aperitivo. The room is large, clean and quiet and the view on the hill is so relaxing. There is even a terrasse where you can take a sun bath. They gave us a lot of information on the surroundings and recommended a very nice restaurant close to their house. If you want to spend peaceful holidays, this is definitely the place to stay...

What makes this place stand out are the hosts. Donatella was a lovely hostess who strove to make our stay as pleasant as possible. While Giuliano was very informative providing us with lots of tips and recommendations for the area. For instance we ate at two wonderful restaurants which they recommended. We also enjoyed conversing with them in the evenings and getting to know each other. The setting of their home was lovely and within easy driving distance to Cinque Terre. We ate lovely breakfast outside in their wonderful garden. I would highly recommend staying here.

Everything was perfect. Donatella and Giuliano are very nice and caring people. They try to fulfill all your wishes and even more. Giuliano even speaks to you in English so there is no problem to comunicate. Our stay was very comfortable and that is why I recommend this place highly!

Alessia and Vittorio are both adorable hosts. They welcome us with beers and wine and some fresh food in the fridge (very appreciable after a long journey). The house is wonderful with an impressive decoration, a nice sunny terrace and a relaxing garden... All is made to make you feel comfortable and spend an amazing stay.

We had a really lovely stay at this lovely house which has very warm and generous hosts. Before we arrived we had friendly and helpful email exchanges with our hosts who very generously offered to collect us from the station and even take us to a supermarket before taking us to the house which was very generous and much appreciated. The house was very clean you had everything you wanted. Because we chose not to have a car it meant we had to plan a bit more as local buses are not that frequent. The garden and outdoor area was wonderful with beautiful views and not overlooked. Vittorio was very warm and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed and easy to contact during our stay. We would definitely recommend this house and hosts for exploring Liguria.

The experience was great! They guaranteed that everything was available for our stay. The dinner is also a great choice! The place is great, and I can just recommend :)

Lovely Hosts, and a wonderful house to stay in! Our time spent there was great...

We stayed with our two kids 2.5 years and 4 month in this lovely decorated, peaceful, super clean and charming House for 14 days and had a blast. Situated close to (12 min) down town la Spezia you can reach 5 Terre easily by Train. Though we liked Porto venere, lerici and Lucca the best as it is not as crowded as those famous 5. There was a filled fridge all sort of towels and bed sheets also a Baby crip and a Baby seat available also. We underlined the coziness of the house with Little appetizers and using the fire place in the evening. The awesome Outdoor Patio with Outdoor kitchen and lovely spaces is fabulously done. Alessia and Vittorio are pretty amazing hosts always available and ready to help with any imaginable issues ;) Thank you, you 2!

We stayed at Alessia and Vittorios house for one week, and had the most wonderful stay. The pictures of the house don´t lie: It is a very beautiful house with lots of personality – done in style and good taste. Alessia and Vittorio are very warm and welcoming, and we much appreciated that they had filled the fridge and a cupboard with pasta, salmon, juice, bread, cakes etc., so that we didn´t have to shop for the first meals. Very great service. The house is easy accessible by car and is situated just a 10 minutes drive from the train station in La Spezia and good parking facilities by the marina if/when you´re going to Cinque Terre. All-in-all it is highly recommendable, so hurry up and book your stay before we do - again! Jens and Lone

The house is just beautiful with a lovely garden and patio where we sat evenings most of our stay. It is very safe since the property is gated and you park inside the gate. We had our own remote control for the gate with the house keys. Our hosts Alessia and Vittorio went out of their way to arrange for a top notch stay: the house was spotlessly clean, groceries and some lovely wine available for us as guests. So very nice! They gave us ample tips for sightseeing and had leaflets and maps for the surroundings already available for us. During our stay any questions on our side met with a swift response. Alessia and Vittorio absolutely saw too it that we were A-ok. Very warm and hospitable whilst at the same time neatly leaving us to ourselves to enjoy our holiday. Absolutely splendid !

Alessia's apartment was great, wonderful decor and excellently placed within striking distance by car of La Spezia train station and onwards to Cinque Terre. Five of us stayed and we had a wonderful time. Alessia and Vittorio were perfect hosts, stacking their lovely apartment full with food and drinks for us. Two thumbs from me!

Monica was a very friendly host, providing cake and drinks! The rooms are located in an amazing neighborhood, difficult to reach but with a breathtaking view! There was nothing missing and we really enjoyed our stay!

A very nice room with a small kitchen. The location is incredible, on the top of a hill overlooking the surrounding villages. The room is in a building surrounded by other very old looking buildings with an incredibly nice ancient look and feeling. We had some problems with the hot water but didn t tell the host so it might not be important. You must have a car to access this location

We really enjoyed our stay with Monica. Her house is situated in a beautiful quiet countryside village and although a little difficult to get to if you don't have a car it is well worth the journey. Monica and her husband were kind and drove us into town on their way to work in the morning. The room is separate from the main house and it was very clean and had a bathroom and little kitchenette for cooking. I would really recommend staying here

Lovely studio in a splendid village! Owners are very kind.

The host canceled this reservation 115 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Our stay at Monica's place was great, room was clean and cosy and we had everything we needed. The village is beautiful and charming, very interesting (but you have to have a car as it is hard to get there without one).

We were warmly welcomed with a table ful of food and prosseco. Ihe house is a real italian experience ! it lays in the mountains in a quiet Italian community. it has super views. on a clear day you can see the sea. The house is redone beautyfully, even in little ditails. it is a house with a hart!! the ouwners did everthing to let you feel welkom and give you a plessant stay. We got useful information , how to visit Cinque terre. And also Porte venere, with we loved. It is a beautyfull peaceful place, from with you can discover the seaside of Cinque terre.

Housing consistent with the description, house in a quiet village, very pleasant with outside for barbecues and pleasant evenings. Good location near La Spezia where you take the train or boat and near the highway to reach cities such as Genoa and Pisa. Excellent warm welcome and kindness await you This trip to the five land was really nice, we highly recommend this house and thank you to our hosts for their hospitality.

We had a really wonderful time in "Aia dei Lemoni"! It is that rare situation when real house is much more beautiful then its photos. Home is very clean, good equipped, comfortable, very cozy and full of love. Even if its not so closed to the sea, the place is very quiet and calm, besides the terrace has a fabulous view on the mountains and the seaside. The family of Andrea is incredibly friendly and kind, and did absolutely everything to make our vacation unforgettable! Thank you all once more!! The house is highly-recommended!

Andrea was a great host! He made the communication very easy from the beginning, always available to share tips and help whenever we had any questions. The house is a great escape to a quiet and picturesque Italian village. The view from the terrace is amazing, you can even see the coast on a clear day. The house was clean and so nicely arranged; the hosts made sure every detail was attended to. We really felt at home during our stay and enjoyed the breakfasts & dinners on the terrace. Would definitely recommend the place, for visiting La Spezia & 5 Terre as well. A car would be quite useful in this case though. Thanks again for making our stay so enjoyable Andrea!

Lucky us to arrive in this beautiful place and receive such a warm welcome when we booked the same day of arrival, in the very last minute. Franco lives in a nice and peaceful house. Our only regret is that we could spend only one night there. We stayed with two friends and found the place perfect for a relaxing time close to Cinque Terre. Franco advised us a nice restaurant for dinner and offered us excellent breakfast ! Thank you so much we had a very pleasant stay at your place. Hope to see you again soon

Nothing to say ... everything a guest needs.

Highly recommended! Peace, nature and relaxation !!

We really loved our stay here. The house is located at the end of a long single track dirt road in the heart of stunning woodland. Outside it looks very rustic yet inside it is well modernised with two large bathrooms and new secure doors and windows. The terrace is a really special place that looks out onto beautiful woodland. Daniele was fantastic and did everything you want from a good Airbnb host – helpful and available yet respectful of privacy. This is ideal if you are looking to get away from it all and rechargesafter a trip out to Cinque Terre which is about 20 minutes away by car. Highly recommended. Ci è piaciuto molto il nostro soggiorno qui. La casa si trova alla fine di una lunga strada sterrata nel cuore di uno splendido bosco. Ha carattere e arredata con gusto e originalità, con due bagni grandi e porte e finestre sicure. La terrazza è un posto veramente speciale che si affaccia su splendidi boschi. Daniele è stato disponibile e allo stesso tempo rispettoso della nostra privacy. Questo posto è l'ideale per chi cerca tranquillità e pace e ricaricarsi dopo una visita alle Cinque Terre, da cui dista circa 20 minuti in auto. Fortemente consigliato.

Loved staying at this beautiful home. It was equipped with everything we needed. Very secluded and had a beautiful terrace. It was only a short drive to Cinque Terra and didn't take long to go to La Spezia and Pisa for a day trip. Any questions we had or anything we needed we were helped right away by Daniele. Thanks again for the great stay! We highly recommend this place!

La maison et son propriétaire sont charmants. La maison est rangé avec beaucoup de goût et on s'y sent vraiment chez soi. Très bon accueil et très bel endroit. Vraiment top si besoin de calme et le voisinage est adorable. On recommande sans réserve.

Très belle maison. Cadre idyllique. Propreté au top. Très agréable. Accueil au top aussi. Je recommande !

Casa stupenda immersa nel verde e vicina alle rinomate principali località marittime della zona! La casa è meravigliosamente arredata, spaziosa, con una stupenda terrazza e un patio esterno. Daniele è un host molto gentile e disponibile! Consigliatissima!

Perfetto per gli amanti della natura, a pochissimi minuti dai poli turistici della zona. L'accoglienza della casa e del suo host sono impeccabili e l'ambiente è rilassante. Sinceramente, a me e al mio gruppo, quasi ci dispiaceva lasciare la casa ogni giorno per visitiare le Cinque Terre.

La casa è immersa nella natura e quindi tranquillissima. Arredamento molto accogliente sia all'interno che all'esterno e la personalità di Daniele è presente in ogni angolo della casa. Disponibilissimo, che con le sue passioni ha reso possibile un soggiorno sereno per noi in un ambiente molto familiare.

La casa é immersa nel verde, in un luogo estremamente silenzioso e tranquillo. Gli interni sono funzionali e rispondono alle esigenze degli ospiti. L'arredamento, seppur rustico, colpisce per la sua originalitá! Questa casa é l'ideale per chi vuole passare qualche giorno a due passi dalle cinque terre ma lontano dal caos. Daniele é stato molto cordiale e disponibile, e ci ha fatto assaggiare il miele di sua produzione...davvero ottimo!

The place was amazing with fantastic views from the terrace and from every window. The house is wonderfully equipped and also very suitable for families with a baby. Sandra's welcome exeeded our expectations and she made us feel right at home. We recommend this place wholeheartedly!

What a wonderful place!!! Isolated in the mountains, the house has almost a mystical feel to it. The view is just breathtaking. The house is very comfortable and there is everything you need inside and in the yard to be able to cook and enjoy your holidays. We were traveling with two young children and the house is perfectly equiped for families. Even on rainy days, there was enough toys and games to entertain the kids! The host Sandra is very friendly and helpful. The place is slightly off the touristic area, which we loved, but still very conveniently located to reach the Cinque Terre, Porto Venere, Pisa, Genova... We certainly will be back there one day! Thank you Sandra!

Nous étions très haut en montagne, sandra a tout suite sorti une carte de la région et elle nous a tout expliqué. Les photos décrivent très bien le site et la maison. La vue est magnifique !

Excelente lugar ubicación y sandra es lo máximo nos recibió a la hs que necesitamos nosotros. Y nos ayudó en todo lo posible y más..

Amazing stay!! Originally, I was a bit worried about the location. Not only was the place fairly easy to get to, but I was also able to get everything I wanted to do in the area (Cinque Terre, Levanto, Porto Venere, hiking). In the end, I was tired from the Ctivity and wanted to go back to he place and enjoy the gorgeous views. Angela is awesome and friendly and I hope to see her again soon in the future. Thank you for making my time in Liguria such a wonderful experience!!!

I've stayed in alot of AirBNBs and Angela is, by far, the best host I've had. It felt like I was staying with a family member. I absolutely love her. I was free to help myself to food in her kitchen for breakfast, or to make myself coffee or tea. Oh and she makes the BEST little pastries! Every morning, I would go out to the garden, which has a magnificent view of La Spezia, and enjoy my breakfast in the sunshine. That beats a hotel any day. When she cooked dinner she would even offer me some or invite me to eat with her family, and I took her up on that one night! Some things to keep in mind are: - The 13 bus that takes you to and from La Spezia Centrale station operates every 30 minutes and stops running during the 19:00 hour. Angela was great about giving me specifics about the first/last buses and where to catch them. If you're visiting Cinque Terre like I was, you'll be making your way to this station every morning. - In the evenings after the buses stop running (and if you don't have a car to get around), you can walk down the road to Secondini restaurant which closes at 11:30pm. I can't rave enough about Angela. Her house is stunning, impeccably clean and super stylish! She is warm and nurturing and really looks after her guests. She even drove me to the train station on my last day to save me the bus trip. I absolutely recommend her :))

Angela's house is comfortable and has a nice view from La Spezia. She's a very nice, communicative and helpfull woman. I, myself, think that having a car is a condition to be there! Thanks for helping, Angela.

Angela and her home were wonderful! She is so kind and welcoming. It was a little trickier to get to Cinque Terre than I'd planned, but she helped me arrange rides to and from La Spezia and Portovenere, an increeeddibly beautiful town. Her area is absolutely beautiful - I stayed home one day, ate an amazing meal at Secundini, a restaurant by her house (totally affordable and delicious) and took in the views of the city and the port. Absolutely wonderful. Grazie Angela!

We had a very nice stay at Angela's beautiful house with spectacular views.

The attic room at Angela's place is clean and spacious. The bathroom was also super clean and lovely. I felt welcome there. The view of the mountains and sea from her balcony is AMAZING. I stayed at her place in La Spezia for 3 nights to see Cinque Terre. FYI-- To get from her door step to Cinque Terre took me about an hour. You can walk from her house to a bus stop (15 minute walk). The buses come every 30 minutes and were very dependable. It is then a 20 minute bus ride to La Spezia Central Train Station. Then it is a quick 15 minute train ride to Riomaggiore. FYI-- If you are a night life person... the buses up the mountain to La Sarbia stop running between 19:00 and 20:00. A taxi from the train station costs 18 euros. Angela kindly offered to drive me down to the train station on Sunday morning when the buses were not running. It was an adventure for sure! The hospitality and views are worth it. And there is a restaurant nearby where you can have dinner if you want to come back early on the bus. :) I would definitely return!

It was a pleasure to meet Angela and her charming children, Giada and Giacomo. Their home is in the hills above La Spezia, not ideal if you are not driving, but still manageable with advance planning. There is a spectacular view of the Golfo dei Poeti from the sprawling suburban garden which features a swing and fragrant night-blooming jasmine: refreshing after a hard day's walk through the Cinque Terre pathways. Soft toys and a fully-coutured mannequin kept me company in the loft and Angela's help with a heavy bag I was carrying from a conference, was greatly appreciated.

We loved our stay with Angela. She was so nice. Her house is beautiful and has an equally beautiful view. It was easy to take the bus from her place into town. She even drove us to the train station after we checked out. Would definitely recommend.

Cristina is very nice. The apartment has everything you need and a spectacular view. It is around 45 minutes to Portovenere and Cinque Terre. We enjoyed!

We enjoyed our stay at Cristina's apartment - Cristina welcomed us very nicely, and the rooms are exactly as described. The place is spacious and very clean, there are screens on the windows, and good exposure to air and sunlight. The area is quiet and easy to locate. Grazie Cristina!

The place is easy to find and very alike the photos. Maria Cristina welcomes you. She is very nice and gives good advices. Our stay was 2 nights long and very pleasant. Cinque terre is not very far. The only default of the place was a barking dog in front of the sleeping room. Not such a big trouble...

Bel appartement avec une belle vue. Il faut compter environ 45 min de trajet pour Portovenere. Idem pour Levanto. Cristina est une femme charmante. Nous recommandons

This was my best airbnb experience, and it's not enough to just say that . We were treated like family, Irene, Massimo and the girls are very welcoming, very funny, it's a pity that we couldn't get to know each other more, there were very inspiring persons. Otherwise, the room is perfect, the place is very peaceful and this is great after the busy times in Cinque Terre, I'd say that it's the best way to visit the area if you like peace and nature. Irene makes really good dinners and Massimo's liquors are great ! I hope we'll see each other again ! take care :)

Irene was a fantastic hos and we had the most fantastic room with an incredible view. Really really recommend this place.

I have to start by saying that Corvara is an incredibly beautiful hilltop village with breathtaking views of mountains. If you're in the area to see the cinque terre, I recommend you set aside some time to explore the area near the house. (Something we deeply regret not doing) The La Spezia train to the cinque terre is accessible by bus, although Massimo was very kind in chauffeuring us around when the service had changed for the weekend. I only briefly met Irene, (she seemed very lovely) so Massimo looked after us. He was such an entertaining, hilarious host with fantastic English and truly amazing stories! The girls were adorable and really fun, and tried to teach me some ballerina, which I'm not sure I excelled in! Massimo cooked a delicious meal for us, and really made us feel at home. The best night's sleep I've had after two weeks of travelling, thank you so much for having us Massimo and Irene.

Dear Irene and Massimo, thank you for the great time! We really enjoyed our stay at your house, our nice room and the delicious homemade vegan/vegetarian dinners and great conversations. We hope to hear from you again and send you best wishes back from Germany, Falk and Ellen

Irene was a very kind host. We had to arrive later than planned and she met us at our car and helped us carry our luggage. The house had a lot of character and it was located in a scenic and peaceful area. The room was large and Irene provided us with everything we needed-she even set out a pitcher of water for us. She gave us instructions the next day on how to arrive at Cinque Terre and how to travel from city to city. Although out stay was short, it was very pleasant and we wished that we could stay longer. We highly recommend staying in this lovely home.

Wonderful family living in peacefull and quiet wonderland. Privat room offered by Irene is located in beautiful old stone house (a bit chilly in april so we used to make fire every afternoon), with the most heart-taking kitchen window view.

Irene, Massimo and their girls are amazing and kind people. We felt like in paradise at this place and thanks to them we also felt at home. The transport is a bit tricky but once you get there just by looking through the windows you know is worth it! The house is vey clean, beautiful view and gardens. You should definitely try their dinner with frwsh ingredients and organic veggies is very delicious! The town is very quite and full of nature away from the touristic routes. It might be better to have a car, although we still managed to visit 5 Terre every day by bus.

Great place to enjoy the beauty of cinque terre but still able to get away from the busy tourism during summer season. The place is a bit of a trek to get from la spezia station however once we got to massimo's place we did not regret it. His place is breathtakingly beautiful and my sister and I woke up early each day to view the sunrise and mountains. Massimo and Irene live in the house with their two daughters (who are adorable and so much fun). I highly recommend this place if you want to get away from the busy tourism of the five villages and relax in a quiet rural setting.

To find it: At the top of the hill, with the castle. Top quality flat and use it to go all around by car (any railstation to go and visit Cinque Tierre, La Spezia, ...)

très bon accueil de la part de Marcella et sa fille, elles ont tous fait pour que l'on se sentent bien! je les recommande
