Villa holiday rentals in Rapallo

We stayed at Villa Nelly for one month! It was a great decision as a place to stay, both because of the amenities and the space it offered. The villa is spacious and has a nice, private terrace where we enjoyed our breakfast and a glass of wine now and then. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the space was really generous. We also had a dishwasher and a washing machine—what a blast! Plus, there was a garage for our car. To get to Rapallo, we mostly took the main road, and it was a 20+ minute walk downhill; to get back, it was about a 35-40 minute walk uphill. But you also have the option of the bus, line 775. For 2 euros, you can visit Rapallo, and the ticket is available for 2 hours, so you can use that line to visit all the cities on the Genoa route or other lines to visit like Santa Margherita. We used the car too, but not so much. The conversation with Riccardo went smoothly, and we really appreciated how responsive he was and the suggestions he gave us for places to eat.

We were 5 adults, a toddler & a dog in the accommodation for 7 days. The communication was completely uncomplicated & reliable. We were warmly greeted at check-in and all our questions were answered. The house is beautifully situated on a hillside. Massimo's directions were very helpful. You can also walk from the house to the city or to the harbor. However, a car is necessary for luggage or shopping in our eyes. The house is very spacious, has 3 bathrooms and the kitchen is super equipped. It was very nice of the hosts that they had provided a basic supply of coffee, which was very accommodating to the caffeine junkies among us. House is fully fenced. The dog and child could let off steam in the garden. We actually spent seven days just on the beautiful terrace. We are very grateful to Massimo and Antonella for their hospitality. We had a great stay and can absolutely recommend the place.

Adorable place with the most spectacular view. Highly recommended, especially if you enjoy walking and/or hiking.

We had a great time at Donata’s accommodation! The communication was excellent! She and her Team were very friendly and accommodating! Even the Dog we brought, enjoyed the Vacation as well! Thank you for everything! Highly recommended!

I would like to warmly thank the hosts for their hospitality and availability. Andrea received me with great calm and kindness, despite my late arrival due to traffic jams. The house is superb: spacious, peaceful, with a large terrace with great views. The bedrooms are spacious, as are the kitchen, perfectly suited for a comfortable stay. Honestly, I give a 10/10. Would definitely stay again. Thanks again to Andrea for her welcome, as well as to all the hosts who helped make this stay so enjoyable. Grazie mille!!

The stay at the villa was wonderful! The best way to get to the accommodation is by car (large parking lot available), the house is on the hill just above Lavagna. Between numerous olive trees and with a view of the sea, this is the perfect place to relax and enjoy! The accommodation was sparkling clean and stylishly furnished, the kitchen is superbly equipped. The infrastructure and the surroundings look very well maintained. Communication was straightforward and very friendly - whether by chat, phone or on site. We enjoyed our stay and are happy to recommend the place!

This place is actually magical. It was super comfortable, with everything you could need and aesthetically beautiful. Our kids had such a lovely time roaming the big house and gardens.

Great stay, thank you to Verbena for her responsiveness, availability and advice. The surrounding villages and beaches are superb. The view from the house is beautiful.

We had a wonderful stay at Paolo's place. The place was very clean. The garden was wonderfully maintained and the neighbors were also very friendly. The pool was clean and the location very idyllic and perfect for hiking. The approach is a bit winding but feasible. We often grilled and enjoyed the wonderful view. Paolo was always helpful and the check-in and out also worked smoothly. We highly recommend Paolo's house!

Our stay at this property was wonderful! The beautiful view of the sea and the immersive natural surroundings made it a perfect getaway. The house offered near complete privacy, and our kids loved the pool. The location is excellent, with great proximity to Rapallo, Santa Margarita, and Portofino. Communication with the host was easy and smooth. Highly recommended!

I'm not usually one to give a rave review but, if you're looking for a private retreat surrounded by natural beauty so you can focus on time with your family and/or friends while still having easy access to the local towns, this place is perfection. It marries old world charm with modern amenities seamlessly. We are already thinking about our next trip back so we can stay here again!

Great place to stay on the coast…If you do a little walking exploring and head down hill towards the Zoagli train station there are stairs down to a fantastic walkway right on the water that takes you to the beach and to the Zoagli piazza with restaurants and other shops…The views from the house are fantastic and it’s a quiet and less busy location, yet still close to Santa Margherita Ligure and Portofino…Outdoor areas are fantastic and your looking right across the sea at Portofino. Definitely worth it. Some stairs, but no problem unless you have issues that prevent you from climbing a stairway.

Eliana was fantastic. She assisted us with a personal emergency that occurred during our visit. She was compassionate, helpful, quick to reply to every need. Our home was beautiful, comfortable, and easily accessible for the train, bus and ferry. It was close to lots of great restaurants and shopping, including local small food markets. In addition, the location in Santa Margherita is perfect for quick hops to various nearby ports of Cinqué Terra, Portofino, Camogli, Rapallo, etc., but it is not as crowded as the more popular areas and yet it is equally beautiful. We loved it.

Great hosts and stunning house, thank you very much for everything

This home was beautiful! Pietro was above and beyond kind to our big family. So thankful for him and this lovely experience.

Large elevated villa with two terraces with beautiful views overlooking Lavagna and the sea. Very nice, clean, tastefully decorated. Barbecues and garden tables enjoyed. Parking in a plot below. We wish we could have put the car in the inner square yet available. A few bowls/dishes are lacking in dishes.

Lovely view, fantastic setting. Excellent host

We had an absolutely amazing stay! Incredible views of the water and bay! The house has a genuine charm and plenty of space and privacy. The kids loved the pool! Elisabetta is a remarkable host with a wealth of knowledge about the area! Super responsive and a great communicator. The house is fully equipped with all you need throughout your stay. We all loved the “L'Antico Frantoio”.

We had a great time! The villa is high on the hill with endlessly pretty views. The benefit of a terrace outside each bedroom was a lovely addition, each had amazing views to enjoy your morning coffee. The pool area was a perfect space for the whole group, and the large table on the main terrace was perfectly spacious for a big group. There are a great many areas of table and chairs to escape to. The bus runs each hour to and from Rapallo, on the road beneath the house. From Rapallo there are the ferries and trains to many surrounding areas. We also took the steps down into Santa Margherita which takes about 20 minutes. Overall the location is very much easy enough to reach with public transport and a nice escape for large groups. The Villa itself was a lovely space to spend the day and night in and was clean. Thank you!

We stayed in the relaxing house for 5 days and it was a wonderful experience. The house is just like in the photos, cared for in every detail and supplied like an inhabited house, nothing is missing. The pool is very useful as well as the outdoor shower with hot water. The garden is very large and fenced for the joy of our dog. There is no shortage of deck chairs, armchairs and hammocks. The mosquito nets in every room were much appreciated. Daniele and Emanuela welcomed us in a friendly manner, showing us the house and giving us tips about the area and the farmhouses where we ate very well! Very responsive to any of our requests. The neighbors are also very nice and really helpful. We had a very good time, recommended for exploring the valley but also simply for relaxing!! The road to get there is definitely narrow and winding but not busy so it's not a problem. In short, a more than positive assessment! Thanks again for everything

Magic place with special nice hosts. The house is full of beautifully curated objects, art and furniture. If you are searching for peace, nature and beauty, this will be your place.

Beautiful apartment with large garden and private pool. Perfect for four people. There are several apartments throughout the house, but you wouldn't know. No one can be in your garden. Everything clean and beautiful. Location on top of the mountain beautiful but complicated to leave and arrive, steep roads. This was already clear to us from the reviews and applies to the whole mountain. The sea view makes up for everything! What a wonderful environment too. Camogli is picturesque. Communication via the app was pleasant and fast, not with "Valentina" but different names, company account I think

What a beautiful place! This house has a soul! Tastefully furnished with antiques and great to find coffee, tea, spices. It has everything you need. It’s a pity we were on the way home and only stayed for a night. I would love to come back when it’s warm and be able to sit on the terrace that overlooks the town and the bay.

Great stay and lovely host. Villa was lovely and all exactly as described. Will be staying again.
