Holiday houses in Roccaforte Ligure

Siamo stati per la seconda volta nella "casa del riccio". Ci eravamo già stati un anno e mezzo fa in autunno e ci era piaciuta tantissimo, ora l'abbiamo vista in primavera tra il verde intenso, l'esplosione delle ginestre e i fiori della casa... una meraviglia! L'accoglienza di Marco e la sua disponibilità sono state ancora una volta eccezionali.. abbiamo anche festeggiato insieme il compleanno di uno di noi ed è stata una giornata davvero di compagnia! ...ci siamo sentiti proprio come a casa.. ancora meglio! La casa ha visto ancora ristrutturazioni fatte con arte che l'hanno resa ancora più gradevole (se mai ce ne fosse stato bisogno, perché era già bellissima) Un soggiorno che consigliamo vivamente! Soprattutto un grazie a Marco per tutte le attenzioni , la simpatia e la disponibilità dimostrate. A presto! Eugenia, Francesca, Alberto e Pino

Grazie Davide - we will come back!:)

We had a wonderful stay at this unique home. Never stayed in a castle before...and it was awesome! It is full of history and charm, with a family feel. We spent a good amount of time out on the stone deck enjoying wine and the great views. We also enjoyed simply walking around the inside and looking at the old paintings and decorations. It is great when an Airbnb goes beyond being just a place to sleep and instead becomes a big part of the overall travel experience. The castle is modernized in the important ways, but the host does go out of his way to portray it accurately in the full description. Also, it is a bit outside of town and so it may be best to have a vehicle during your visit. The host was extremely responsive when I had a couple of questions, and the arrival/check in process was made easy with an in-person meeting when we arrived. We also had an amazing dinner at the restaurant they recommended. Overall, this was an exceptional Airbnb and I would highly recommend it.

The most amazing place I have ever stayed in. Looked exactly like the photos and was even better than expected. The sun deck and outside space was incredible with bed views. I will definitely be back.

Francesca ed Emilio sono due persone di rara gentilezza e solarità. Ci hanno accolti con cura e hanno pensato a tutto ciò che potesse servirci e anche di più. La casa è splendida, tenuta con la premura di chi ha a cuore un luogo speciale. La vista è mozzafiato. La posizione è perfetta, silenziosa e riparata dal centro, in una zona elegante e immersa nella natura con un comodo parcheggio ombroso a pochi passi dall’abitazione. Ottimi anche i consigli sui ristoranti di zona, i giri in barca, i trekking e tante altre attività. Segnalo con piacere letto incredibilmente comodo. Siamo stati divinamente e torneremo. Spero presto.

Francesca and her kind family have created a once-in-a-lifetime, soul-grounding experience in this beautifully restored 14th-century hillside retreat in Portovenere. We loved every minute of our six-night stay. From the mind-blowing views and steep, invigorating hikes to romantic evenings sipping homemade, earthy concoctions thoughtfully left for us—it was pure magic. We were welcomed with fragrant bundles of fresh lemons, rosemary, sage, and thyme, a gesture that set the tone for the care and warmth we felt throughout. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making our rest as memorable as our adventures. We especially loved our daily rocky hike down to the charming village, and one day we even rented a dinghy to explore the surrounding islands—an unforgettable way to soak in the coastal beauty. This place is beyond gorgeous—truly a slice of heaven.

Alles perfekt, hatten nur kein Glück mit dem Wetter! Alte Villa mit sehr viel Charme und und allem was man so braucht! Bei voller Besetzung wäre ein zweites Sofa im Wohnzimmer ganz nett! Betten waren hervorragend, auch wenn man bei einigen nicht länger als 1,90 sein darf! Toller Garten, sehr gut ausgestattete Küche mit etwas längeren Laufwegen, da Geschirr zT im Wohnzimmer steht, und Spülmaschine in der Speisekammer, aber so ist es halt in alten Häusern! Vermieter IMMER ansprechbar, vor Ort und hilfsbereit! Alles in allem sehr zu empfehlen! Wir würden gerne wiederkommen wenn die Sonne scheint!

The host was very helpful before checkin, during our stay, and at checkout time. He offered very good suggestions for local activities. Everything with the unit was as advertised. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. Finally, it should be noted that this was likely the cleanest vacation rental we have stayed in. The floor was literally clean enough to eat from…. (We didnt though:) The views were incredible, and there were multiple places outside to sit and take it in and relax. We actually came with intentions of exploring more towns in the area, but once we arrived, found this apartment to be so comfortable we opted to stay in more and just walk to Manarola along the trail.
