Holiday rentals with beach access in Liguria

Leonardo's place in Riomaggiore was everything we hoped for, and more! The apartment was beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. It included so many little extras: a Nespresso machine, biscuits, Nutella (!), bottled water and even Prosecco! The balcony was absolute heaven. A perfect place to drink coffee in the morning, watch beautiful sunsets every night and to people watch at any time. The pizza restaurant right downstairs, Rio Pizza, had delicious pizza and the people there are so friendly and warm. There's also a gelato store right down stairs. We booked a sunset boat trip, which was so much fun, and left from the water front right below our apartment. I could go on and on. Perfect location, perfect apartment. We loved everything about it.

Great stay at Daniela's. The view from the terrace is really amazing. Daniela is super accommodating and recommended good places that she was able to book for us. As in most seaside homes in the area, the train passes just behind the house, which is convenient for visiting the surrounding villages but causes a little noise pollution.

Our hosts were great! Can I give 6 stars? Anne took the lead in sharing her love of the area and her in-laws’ apartment. She met us at check-in and showed us around, offered to make restaurant reservations ahead, recommended activities, and was very proactive in communication, including explaining how some of the trails and transport works. The place is great; right in the heart of Rio. (The town isn’t exactly quiet… nothing a white noise app can’t fix.) Had everything we needed. The apartment was comfy and clean and was a great home base— restaurants, gelato, grocer and pharmacy right below. One small caveat — the second BR does not have its own AC. The living room and main BR both have AC — we just moved the roll-out bed into the LR.

What a fantastic stay we had at Fabrizio’s place! It is easy to get to, conveniently located to the train station, the beach, and numerous restaurants. The space was just perfect for us - and the best part was the outdoor space! We spent a lot of time outside on the patio just soaking in the sunshine, fresh air, and listening to the birds and the sea. If we ever have the chance to come back to Monterosso al Mare, we will be sure to stay there again! Perfetto! Grazie Mille!

A beautiful place with an incredible view of the beach and sea. The location is superb, right in the middle of the wonderful carruggi in Varazze. We loved stepping outside for our morning croissant and coffee at Gatto Nero. With the apartment being high up we felt so peaceful everytime we returned home from a day exploring. There is a lift so access is also easy. And we loved the air con ! Excellent wifi also 👌 Maria doesnt speak English so we met using google translate and whattsapp and the check in and check out was very easy. Maria responded so quickly to messages and all our questions throughout the booking were answered quickly. Maria was very smiley and friendly and offered lovely local recommendations and we enjoyed our lunch at Vino e Cucino. This truly was a lovely place in a truly lovely place. We wouldnt hesitate to return. Grazie Mille xx

Deborah was super kind, immediate responses. The house is a well-maintained bijoux with all the right spaces. They also left us coffee and herbal teas and breakfast products in addition to fresh water and fruit juice. The location is great, with a small descent you can immediately reach the beach. We also used the available parking, which is definitely a plus in this part of the Riviera. The house is as described, the small staircase is not easy but it is a few steps, nothing particularly problematic for me and my husband and our little dog. Beautiful sea view from the windows from the living room and room. Great sleep, comfortable mattress and nice bed. Highly recommended. See you soon

My wife and I had an amazing stay here and would definitely book it again. The hosts, Rosanna and Salvatore, were wonderful. They were very friendly and responsive. They met us near the train station upon our arrival and showed us the beautiful looking home as well as recommendations for the area during our stay. The home itself was very clean and looked so cool. The best part was having a giant private terrace overlooking the water. Amazing views! Wish we stayed here longer.

We immediately felt very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped, although we preferred to eat in the beautiful restaurants just around the corner. But the best thing would be the two terraces, the view of the sea and the swimming area, simply indescribable. A glass of wine in the evening and watching the sunset, watching the ships and letting the day end, wonderful. We will definitely come back next year, as we still have a lot to discover!

Fantastic place so handy to visit everything and so amazing to be right in the water wish I stayed longer

Antonellas place is the best! We particularly enjoyed the rooftop patio overlooking the coast. We weren’t sure which town to stay in when we booked but ended up being so glad we chose Corniglia- each Cinque Terre village gets busy and crowded during the day, but Corniglia in particular gets so quiet and peaceful after all the crowds leave. It was so relaxing!! Thank you Antonella!!

This house is magical. :) The ancient stone walls married with the beautifully modern and renovated kitchen and bathrooms were gorgeous and comfortable. The views exceptional. Our family of 5 (3 kids, young professionals, in their 20s) were completely at home and always excited for their next adventure. There was something for everyone - hiking, swimming, wonderful restaurants, and adventures to other villages and towns. The trains, trails, and shuttles met every need. The TWO terraces were family central to admire views, share stories of the day, and be together. Corniglia is delightful. It empties out in the evening and we felt like locals. The villagers were so welcoming. Christina was a perfect host. We all want to come back.

Wow! One of the most wonderful Airbnb I had the pleasure to stay in all my travels around the world. The view on the ocean from the terrace was stunning. We spent hours there just looking at the sea. Everything in the house is tastefully organized. Lola was so friendly and welcoming, she is a really nice host. I’m hoping to return and spend more time to explore the area.

This AirBNB was amazing. The views are incredible and the location is perfect. Adriana and her father are amazing hosts and are top notch. Adriana’s father helped us get our luggage to the AirBNB which was amazing and above and beyond. My fiance and I couldn’t recommend this AirBNB more! The location is the best in Riomaggiore and is very peaceful in the mornings and at night.

We were there over Christmas and New Year's Eve… The small Ligurian house corresponds exactly to the description… it is nice, but a bit narrow and the steep stairs sometimes annoying. .. Unfortunately, the parking lot is also a bit far away and quite full even in the winter season. Roberta is very friendly and helpful. She personally welcomed us very warmly with numerous gifts and took a lot of time for our briefing. Also, when there were problems with the water later in the evening, she immediately stepped in and fixed the problem quickly… Many thanks to Roberta for her friendly and helpful care and for the pleasant stay. Even though the beach is a bit far away, the house is a gem! We wish you all the best for the New Year! Gabi and Falko

Wonderful days in a wonderful location with an extremely likeable hostess. Pure enjoyment, also the ambiance is incredibly great. We will be back!!!

Beautiful house with amazing views! We used this as a home base to enjoy all 5 villages. House is well appointed and they include little extras like espresso pods and beach towels. As described there are many steps to navigate from the town so make sure to pack light if possible since washer is available at the house now.

Beautiful place and very nice host. Location was perfect, everything was walking distance. Would recommend 😌

A perfect location in a magical town. The terrace is absolutely beautiful and the location is wonderful for exploring the area or catching a ferry. Would definitely return!

Great place to stay - location excellent - restaurants and station minutes from flat. The flat was spotlessly clean, and well appointed. Michele’s very helpful and responsive. The only drawback was the very loud level of noise on the Saturday and Sunday evenings, which went on well into the morning hours.

What a fantastic place. Paolo met us at the train station to help us with our luggage and guide us to the apartment. Gave us great recommendations on how to spend our 3 days. Honestly I’m not sure I can imagine a better place in Riomaggiore. The flat is on the top floor with a great terrace that is shaded in the evening looking right down on the cove with a beautiful view of the water. We had happy hour up there every night. Everything was clean and modern. Having 2 levels created a lot of space in the apartment. Would stay there again in a heartbeat if coming back to Riomaggiore.

Wow wow! What an excellent stay here in Rapallo. This was me and my fiance's very first time visiting Italy and Mirabela exceeded our expectations in more ways than one. From the beautiful condo which was very accessible, cute and clean, to her proative and helpful communication, she really made us feel at home. The condo is just a short walk away from the town center which made it super easy to get around. She also shared a lot of information about transportation options which was very helpful and made our trip out to Portofino seamless. We will definitely be back! Grazie Mirabela!

Nice, clean and everything you need

Very nice balcony. Some of the windows have window screens, so you can open them without worrying about mosquitoes. The WiFi could be improved, it didn’t work at times during our stay.

We had an amazing stay at Enrico’s apartment! From the very beginning, communication with him was outstanding — he was always quick to respond and went out of his way to provide helpful recommendations for day trips and things to do in the area. When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with some essentials already in the fridge and breakfast items, which was such a thoughtful touch. The apartment itself has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay — well-equipped, clean, and cozy. The view from the balcony is absolutely stunning and made every morning feel special. While the beach is within walking distance, keep in mind that the way back is a bit of a climb (about 20 minutes uphill), but totally worth it for the peaceful location and the amazing views. All in all, a wonderful experience — we’d love to come back and highly recommend staying here!
