We booked the trip two hours in advance but had a wonderful time all the same. The keys were very easy to collect and despite never meeting Laura, she was very helpful. The flat is perfectly located a stones throw away from the waterfront, despite not being particularly big, it is very quaint. Great value for the location, we had a great time!

What a lovely fisherman's apartment! It was the best way to wrap up our 2 week Italian adventure.

We were told not to stay overnight in Portofino but we're so glad we did stay a couple of nights. Laura's apartment is perfectly situated and we were able come back and rest with our young kids when we needed. Laura was an excellent host who was extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend Laura's apartment for anyone looking to relax in a wonderful area of the Italian coastline.

Laura was very welcoming. His apartment is true to its description. We stayed in winter, rather offseason, the businesses in Portofino were almost all closed. But I imagine that in summer this accommodation must be charming in a village that feels bohemian ...

This gorgeous little apartment is in the most perfect location, only just of the main piazza. It is so easy to walk to the apartment from the Santa Margerita bus drop off in Portofino or from the ferry. Laura has made it so lovely and was able to arrange for us to drop our bags off early before check in time. The apartment has verything you need, and Laura provided great advice on what to do in Portofino. You could prepare a simple meal in the kitchen but why bother when the views from the piazza restaurants are amazing. We loved Ristorante da I Gemelli for dinner.

Very attentive and Laura warm person, very accessible, and comfortable, very well located in the center of portofino department.

Great apartment in a prime location. Air conditioning really helped and was essential in prime summer. Washing machine was useful as this was our half way stop off point for our Europe holiday. I highly recommend this apartment.

Thank you so much to Laura!!! She was wonderful to communicate with and always answered back promptly. And even though she was not there at checkin as it is self checkin with a lockbox....she detailed everything to do and how to find her place perfectly! And the location could not be better! It was perfect!! Such a true gem in the heart of Portofino! Thank you again Laura for everything!!!

Elisa is the most perfect host. Picked us up in her car from the train station. She had maps for us, breakfast, water and juice. She is superb! However our stay in the property which is aptly described as an attic was for 5 days and would be better suited for 2 people only staying for a few nights or a weekend. Very clean but Small bathroom. Not a lot of living area. Also we had large heavy suitcases and the stairs are a challenge. But Also a great location. Thank you Elisa xxxxx

Excellent stay in a charming attic. The apartment on the fourth floor of a beachfront building is functional, well maintained and with a great location just across the harbor. Elisa is a lovely host, warm and concerned about the well being of its tenants. We are very grateful for the welcome she booked us!

Great location right in the middle of Santa margherita opposite the beach. However extremely tiny so only suited for a solo traveler or couple who don't mind the minimal space as it is more of a loft space. Also not suited for elderly or those with walking issues as the accommodation is 4 flights upstairs on a steep incline. Did pose issues with our heavy international luggage for check in/out. Elisa was extremely lovely however and fixed our requirements of no toilet paper etc quickly. All in all a great central location to be amongst it all and 3 mins walk from train station and in front of all cafes , shops , pier etc.

The mansarda is amazing! Best view ever! The Ac save us from the heat and Elisa was super helpfull with everything! I would stay here again. I totally recommend the place. She welcomed us with amazing coffee,chocolate and a lot of little things that made you feel at home. Internet also works perectly (it was a must for us being photographers). Gracias Elisa! We will come back!!

This place is ideally located and Elisa was very easy to work with. A+ with communication. When we decide to come back to SML, we will definitely be staying at this place.

Elisa welcomed us in a fantastic, really friendly, helpful and welcoming. He also left a small welcome gift wishing Happy Easter. The house is like you see in the picture, stunning views overlooking the sea. We found everything we needed. We really had a great time. When we return to Santa Margherita, we will know where to go. Highly recommended

Our visit to SML surely exceeded our expectations. The apartment is in an excellent location. Walking distance from everything you need in SML. We were looking forward everyday to waking up to the wonderful view which made walking up the 4 floors worth it. Just try to travel light so you don't have to carry a lot up the narrow staircase. Thanks to Elisa's great hospitality we had a great time. The apartment is fully equipped with everything you might need. And Elisa's recommendations helped us make the most of our stay. Make sure you ask her for reservation at Reve Cafe a great place for dinner.

Excellent location. Directly in front of public beach (great view!). Walking distance from train station. Many great restaurants within walking distance. Great host, very good at communicating and making recommendations. Small note: apartment is on 4/5 floor so if you have a heavy case - be careful!

This is a wonderful clean centrally located beautifully appointed apartment in the harbor square Veronica was quite responsive to some minor concerns

Beautiful apartment in a wonderful setting

A fabulous apartment in a perfect position overlooking the harbour and square.. Could not have been better.. Thank you Veronica

Although it was not possible to meet personally Veronica was still "present" careful and thanks to precise and timely communication. His apartment is just delicious. Decorated with taste and finesse as a yacht to feel already at sea.

I will recommend this beautiful AirBnB to anyone coming to Portofino! It is beautifully renovated and decorated, exactly as shown in the photos. It is in a perfect location and fully self-contained. Veronica was there to meet us on arrival and show us the place. I only wish we could have stayed longer. I would absolutely stay here again.

Thank you for a memorable stay at Clara's house. Everygthing we could need wit (EMAIL HIDDEN)fy, clean with a great ambiance. Veronica was warm and friendly. Highly recommend ❤️

Apartment beautiful harbor excellent reception photos perfectly describe the house. Gorgeous!

The appartment is exactly as it is described. The location is perfect in the middle of Portofino. The restaurant below is great for food and not so pricy then the others around. It is quite for sleeping because the bedroom is in the back. Would book it again.

We enjoyed our stay here. Everything was clean and tidy. The location was central and great for traveling without a vehicle. Eleonora recommended great restaurants and things to do. It was a really nice place to stay and all the pictures and information on her add is accurate. The only thing that was missing was wifi since it was not working. All in all, great place to stay!

I can only agree with the positive comments that precede me! The apartment is very well cared for. It renovated very well. Furniture and new bathroom. Spotlessly clean. The location is perfect in the heart of the village close to the sea. In property it is very helpful and friendly. I will definitely return.

The place was as it was in the photos. We enjoyed our stay for the week and would recommend this to anyone wanting to visit Cinque Terra and Portofino. The apartment is very central and close to the train station. Eleonora picked us up from the station and dropped us off. Her communication was great.

We had a fabulous stay with our 9 year old twins. The apartment is conveniently located to the beach and ferry as well as bus transportation. We took the ferry to Portofino during the day and took the bus to return in the evening for dinner. We had no problem with the noise from the street and kids slept perfectly.

This was an amazing find! The house is situated right in the center of the town, where you cross the street and there is the ocean! The house was perfect for the two of us! When we arrived, Eleonora's father welcomed us and pulled out a map to show us where everything was in town and wrote down restaurant suggestions for us! This was very helpful because this was our first time to Santa Margherita. Overall this is the perfect place, within walking distance to everything, and I couldn't reccomend it more!

We had a fantastic stay at Eleonora's apartment in Santa Margherita. Fantastic location, great facilities, and very clean/tidy. Eleonora was very helpful and even dropped us off to the train station when we were leaving. For light sleepers, it can get a little noisy at night on the weekend, as the apartment is above a restaurant, however nothing some ear plugs wouldn't fix! Highly recommend!

Central location, very pretty house, clean and provided all the amenities. Eleonora very kind and helpful. Will definitely be back

We were in the apartment of Eleonora in March: the location is perfect and the house is pretty and has what you need; the only drawback was the pizzeria on the ground floor that occasionally was noisy for moving chairs. Eleanor was very kind and allowed us to leave after the estimated time of checkout in order to organize at best.

Great location in Portofino.. many steps up but the location is almost surreal

Un bijou pour portofino ! Amazing flat, very friendly owner. We spent a beautiful week in that incredible city happy to find back our great apartment the night. Clean, spacious, in the heart of portofino. I don't see any threats for the appartement. Thank you Giambatista, the holidays of my friends and I were perfect.

The host canceled this reservation 39 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

On sur recommande cette adresse ! Parfait pour un séjour à portofino.

Se volete godervi Portofino appieno vi consiglio di alloggiare nella mansarda del sig. Giambattista lui è carinissimo e molto disponibile e la casa è molto accogliente e ha tutto quello che può servire a rendere il soggiorno molto piacevole Enrica

Sehr schöne Wohnung und hilfsbereite und freundliche Gastgeber. Alles lief problemlos. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Very nice apartment in the harbour area in Santa Margherita. Close to public parking building, shops and supermarket. The apartment is very well maintained- and equipped - a perfect place to spend a holiday in for one or two couples.

Had a great time at Federica's place in Santa Margarita. Her place is in a great location and very cozy and charming place! There is a great cafe close by (Cafe Porto) that we visited daily for espresso and apertivo!

Great location - you have the best view in Portofino. Neat and tidy. Thanks!!

One of the most unique airbnb experience to be had. Location absolutely amazing. The view each and every day was like watching an episode of lifestyles of the rich and famous. A beautiful quaint little apartment with everything you need. Giovanna was an attentive and communicative host. Would highly recommend to anyone travelling to this region.

We had a fantastic stay at Giovanna's apartment in Portofino. The location is perfect, overlooking the beautiful harbour - great scenery . The apartment was exactly as photos, also imacculately clean and with all the provisions needed. Check in and out was very easy , Giovanna gets back to you very quickly and gave great advice on travel etc. All the restaurants and shops are literally on your doorstep, if you fancy a change of scene there is a frequent bus service to Santa Margharita which is also worth a visit . Highly reccomended.

Location, location, location! This apartment has the most amazing view of the harbour. Would definitely recommend this place.

The apartment is the best we ever used thru Airbnb. Location is excellent . very comfortable and close to every place.

Giovanna's apartment is the best place to stay if you want to enjoy Portofino. Giovanna was very nice and answered to all our questions. I would definitely recommend this apartment for anyone going to Portofino.

Grazie Giovanna! Your apartment is perfectly poised over the port and the view is wonderful. Was blissful to lie in bed at night and hear the waves lapping and watch docked yachts bobbing about in the moonlight. The petite space has been craftily designed with an appreciation for small but functional space, storage was very clever and the kitchen; so compact but everything needed for a few days in one of the prettiest places in Northern Italy. Please also pass on our best regards to Emmanuel who collected us from the train station to settle us in. Kindest Janelle and Callum x

This spot is among the most beautiful in all my deals of travel. Giovanna is a great host and the pictures underestimate the size and open feel of the space. The feel is as if you are on one of the fabulous yachts right below the window. SIMPLY THE BEST!

Perfect place to stay in portofino

This was an excellent Airbnb experience from start to finish. The apartment is in an excellent location - with view of the harbour from the terrace. The apartment is light and airy, with a fully furnished kitchen, and extremely comfortable for a family of four. We really appreciated the little touches, such as the inclusion of beach towels etc and really appreciated our taxis being booked for us from the train station. If we are fortunate enough to return to Portofino, this is certainly where we would base ourselves. You can't beat it for location, comfort and value for money !

AMAZING! Elena and Sonia are great host , This is a wonderful apartment which is located in the best part of the town and you can enjoy the breathtaking view from their clean and comfortable (URL HIDDEN) staff were super friendly and they showed great hospitality,Also they helped us a lot throw the process to receive back our passports which we left at the (URL HIDDEN) to the staff for their warm welcome and service.

Great apartment in a very good location. We enjoyed our first Airbnb experi nice and found the check-in and communication friendly and professional. We even didn't mind the climb up the stairs to the 4th floor!

Lovely apartment in great location

This very stylish clean spacious apartment & ,balcony with a view made our stay very comfortable and enjoyable! The location is perfect close to shops and harbor,and Laura was extremely helpful and answered any questions ,making sure to help us with restaurant reservations ,suggestions and transportation.Thank you so much!!

The apartment is literally perfect! We spent 3 day in there and I think it's one of the best places you can find in Portofino! Close to everything, the view was amazing , in the center but still very quiet , very clean ! We loved the house and we'll definitely come again !

Beautiful apartment just steps away from restaurants and shopping. Elana and Laura were great hostesses that provide everything we needed and more.

Very nice place with a fabtastic view of ocean and mountains. Hosts Paola and Pino couldn't have been better :)

Deutsch: Traumhaft schöne Aussicht von der Terrasse. Tolle moderne Wohnung und super nette Gastgeber. Bushaltestelle ist knappe 50 Stufen entfernt. Privater Parkplatz direkt vor dem Haus. Wir sind circa 20 Min zu Fuß nach Santa Margarita gegangen (alles bergab und teilweise sehr alte Stufen) und zurück sind wir vom Hafen aus mit dem Bus (1.80€pro Person) gefahren. Bei der Anfahrt zum Haus sollte man beachten, dass die Sackgasse in der sich die Wohnung befindet sehr eng ist. Also nichts für Angsthasen ;-) English: Absolutely stunning! The view from the flat is beautiful, modern interior, well equipped kitchen and the outdoor shower was a nice surprise :) lovely hosts, limited English yet very spontaneous and helpful regarding restaurants and must-read attractions. 20 adventurous minutes by foot to the city center, the bus stop is close-by however. Definitely recommend at least 3 nights at this beautiful apartment.

L'endroit correspond à la description "un petit coin de paradis" : Le logement que propose Paola est situé sur les hauteurs offrant une vue imprenable sur la mer, et est superbement arrangé et aménagé. Paola nous a parfaitement accueillis, et décrit les endroits à aller voir. Je recommande vivement cet endroit si vous souhaitez aller visiter le fameux village de Porto Fino et les alentours.

Nous avons adoré ce logement. L'ensemble s'est avéré au dessus de nos attentes : un appartement neuf, clair, impeccable, avec des beaux équipements, un joli mobilier et confortable - les photos du site donnaient déjà un bel aperçu. Et puis cette vue sur le golf de Tigullio, sur Santa Margherita, sur la mer grâce à ses deux belles terrasses herborées et équipées du nécessaire indispensable. Paola avait réservé quelques attentions pour notre arrivée. Nous avons trouvé un intérieur soigné et préparé avec la plus grande attention : un joli linge de maison, quelques produits et tout le nécessaire en buanderie. Nous avons apprécié la tranquillité au milieu de ce décor juste imprenable entre mer et montagnes. L'arrivée jusqu'au logement se fait par une petite route un peu sinueuse mais typique et jonchée de belles maisons, dans les hauteurs du Golf, à San Lorenzo della Costa (où 2 très bons restaurants sont à signaler au passage). Pas de problème pour garer son véhicule puisque Paola et Pinot mette à disposition leur emplacement privé. On descend facilement à Santa Margherita ou à Rapallo où l'on trouve de la place assez facilement (mais payante...). Nous avons vraiment aimé cette très belle région d'Italie, riche et belle géographiquement et à découvrir sur le plan culturel.

Very simple apartment, In an amazing location. Thanks very much

Easy communication, clean place and a great location.

This place is in a fantastic destination and easily accessible from the train station, using the local bus. Although it doesn't have air conditioning it does have fans for the living room and bedroom. In the August heat we found it a little bit hot. The place has great potential and with a few added additions such as wifi and some more appliances it would be a more comfortable place to stay.

Location suggestive, from the balcony you see a strip of the harbor. Great location, friendly and helpful.

The living room in the apartment in Portofino Simo was very nice! The apartment has a great location, a short walk from the square. The apartment fits the description, it is very clean and there is everything you need. The area is very quiet and allows you to stay in complete relaxation. Also time is check in and check out were very flexible, even in a peak season weekend which is perfect for people like me want to take a weekend at the beach!

Location is the best you'll get, right in the middle of portofino. The place is very what you see is what you get, it's nothing outstanding you're basically playing for the location. No wifi, which is difficult for a traveller as there isn't many wifi spots in the town. No pictures of the bathroom... That could use some updating. Overall you're paying for the best location, nothing else

Right in the center of Portofino. The house doesn't have Wi-Fi nor TV..

No wifi or TV which makes it quiet at night as it a port town. Simo's place was very clean and tidy- lovely place to stay. Steep stairs- not for those with bad knees or heavy bags

Stefano has an absolutely wonderful place and I feel fortunate to have stayed here! Portofino is a magical destination and Stefano's place is the perfect place to soak it all in. I highly recommend staying here!

Beautiful views of Portofino with excellent location. That said, no WiFi (as advertised), and difficult check in as we had to get keys from a local store owner with a very difficult to find front door (not on a main street).

Amazing view right above the small arbour. Quiet. Clean. Charming.

Portofino and that location in particular really deserve it. Stefano is very kind and helpful The country is for obvious reasons very popular and Stefano has an enchanting lodging on the slope of sx in "pole position". With very small children can be a problem. We are still considering returning to August even though our Tomaso has only 6 months and has slept a little bit.

This apartment was great with an amazing view over the ocean and the village. Only thing we missed was iron and ironboard. Can recomend this for any friends or family how like to visit this cosy place!

Location, location, location!

Stefano's place is amazing and the pictures really do not do it justice. Situated right on the water the views are breathtaking and the apartment itself is very well kept and comfortable. Everything was clean and the space was very warm with interesting nautical art throughout. Only issue was that there was no wi-fi in the apartment which we were not aware of going in. But we were there to enjoy the town, not play on the internet, so it was fine. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic apartment, the photos do not do it justice.

City of charm good price / quality Room

Patricia apartment is fabulous and perfectly located in the beautiful Portofino. It has tons of charm, it is beautifully decorated. Patricia was very warm and welcoming, and she provided good recommendation. The two dogs are very nice and friendly. I would highly recommend this apartment!

Since Patricia was not there I do not feel it is fair for me to criticize her. The apartment was very nice and the dog was adorable and well behaved. There was some confusion when checking in and the man who helped me since Patricia was not in town did not speak English. I never got the password to the wifi even though I messaged Patricia which was unfortunate because I needed to access maps and such for my next stop in my travels. Overall the place is nice I just think it would have been better if Patricia was there because the other reviews raved how awesome she is.

It was very nice staying at Patricia apartment. She is friendly and has two beautiful dogs. The room is beautiful. We had a really great stay in Portofino.

Very good welcome from Patricia, this apartment located in the heart of Portofino which is very nice? A good time spent beside the sea.

Patricia and her two dogs were very welcoming and friendly and the flat was clean and has a really great location. She was very helpful also with recommendations for food and what to see in the area. I can totally reccomend Patricia's place and i hope to come another time to Portofino and stay there again.

Nice place

Just a note that the two dogs who live here are very large and very high energy. We absolutely loved them, but if you have any fear of dogs, this would not be the place for you. They definitely share the space and want attention! They are well behaved but easily excited. Patricia was wonderful. She made checking in extremely easy. She gave us restaurant recommendations and even fed us ice cream when we got home later that night! I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone who loves dogs :)

Friendly and responsive owner! Nice place, beautyful view! Price-quality! But not wifi;)

Very big house in the best position in Camogli!! Amazing big living room just on the seaside... you can get to the beach in one minute walking House very clean and with comfortable beds and bathroom

The flat is full of nice features but lacking in accuracy. The sofa bed was broken so not so comfortable and the house was in need of a good clean. It is really a pity because with just a few little repairs and a little cleaning this apartment will be perfect to justify the price.

Luigi's place was great! The perfect place to stay in Camogli--right above the water with a stellar view, it couldn't have been better. The house is pretty large and everything was comfortable. Grazie!

We had a nice stay in the apartment. Apartment was simply furnished but had all the necessities required for comfortable stay: equipped kitchen, washing machine. We loved falling asleep with the sound of the waves! Warning: lots of stairs to climb up to the Apartment, but the view from the windows definitely worth it!

We stayed in the Louis for 2 nights with our children and we really had a very good, everything is exactly as described in the ad and as you can see from the photos. The view from the living room is breathtaking: it's like having the sea at home, enjoying the breeze and the lapping of the waves without being disturbed by walking below. Louis was a landlord accurate, helpful and considerate: he has accepted our request for an early check-in and check-out flexible arrival and even made us find the cake for the boys. We very much appreciated his kindness and fairness: highly recommend it to all these properties.

The house of Louis is spacious and equipped with a beautiful view of the sea. The excellent welcome for the kindness and helpfulness. Highly recommended

Luigi was a fantastic host! Very attentive and responsive. The place is beautiful and the views are stunning. Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling to Camogli!!

My boyfriend and I were staying in Portofino for 2 nights. The central location was excellent, allowing access to the marina and restaurants within seconds. The apartment was well appointed with stunning views of Portofino (worth all the stairs). We would recommend taking the boat if the weather is good enough. Make sure you take it for the whole day, to get the best value for money. O Magazin was our favourite restaurant, positioned right by the waterfront with excellent food, wine and service. For a more traditional seafood dinner, we liked Restaurant Puny. We advise booking the restaurants in advance.

Beautiful apartment with great views and in a great location if you're looking to stay in Portofino. One warning, it's 92 stairs up to the apartment, so just be aware of that for anyone that has trouble with a lot of stairs. Other than that, it's a lovely place to stay in Portofino!

Nice apartment very centrally located in Portofino. I have nothing negative to fault. Please note that the apartment is on the top floor and that there is no elevator.

We loved Manuela's apartment in Portofino. The apartment is a long climb up a few flights of stairs but well worth it when you get there. The view is amazing, probably the best view in Portofino. Manuela was a great host who always answered our messages promptly & we were able to check-in early which was great. Parking is only a few minutes up the road (although we were stopped just outside the village by Polizia until parking became available - only about 10-15 minutes so no problem). There is a kitchen and a small shop for supplies but bring your own if you want something particular. I highly recommend it for your visit to Portofino.

This apartment has an outstanding view over portofino and is generally quite a quiet spot. The space was perfect for us as a couple and there were plenty of restaurants in the area for us. There are quite a few stairs, but the view in the morning was especially enjoyable and it means that you are further from the street, making it quieter in the mornings. Being this close to the centre of portofino is also extremely useful. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would visit here again.

The place exceeded my expectations! It was absolutely beautiful, clean, well laid out and comfortable. It was larger than the pictures show and THAT VIEW! A million dollar view. The bedding was luxurious, the linens and towels of high quality and the bathroom was large, modern and provided ample storage for all things. The location was RIGHT ON the coveted village square. You just step out the flat and there you are! It is on 5th floor walk up, so there are stairs only. No problem for me as that is the only way to get THAT VIEW! Host was excellent, responsive and gracious. You will be happy with this rental!

Wow! This apartment was amazing. Stunning view from lounge and bedrooms that is even better than the photos. Manuela and Barbara were very helpful before we arrived in Italy and Barbara was always available with help and advice once we were in Portofino. The bed was very comfortable too. The kitchen is very well set up allowing us to cook delicious meals ourselves and enjoy overlooking the harbour. The highlight was Manuela's boat which we took our for a whole day and swam at several different spots inaccessible by other means. One note: there are lots of stairs to get to the apartment. Not a problem at all for us, but wheelchair bound guests or those with bad knees may have trouble. We will be recommending this apartment to everyone we know!!

Manuela's home is such a fantastic spot to stay when visiting Portofino. The location could not be better, her communications were clear and timely and the views from her place are incredible. We rented her gozzo also which was so much fun to be able to explore the area by sea. We highly recommend the gozzo also. Several people commented about the steps to the 5th floor which are all accurate comments. While there are quite a few stairs, the location and views of Portofino are well worth the climb! We hope to stay at Manuela's home again during a future return visit!

Excellent location and great communication. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Wow, what a perfect location right on the beautiful picturesque 'wee' harbour that is Portofino. The view from the apartment is exactly as shown on the pictures and the facilities (as described) make it a perfect place to stay and relax. All our contact with Elana was "1st Class", she was always prompt in replying and when we arrived Sonia was exceptional, showing us around the apartment and offering excellent advice on what to do in the village. We were celebrating our Silver Wedding Anniversary and our children arranged for a bouquet to be delivered to the apartment, this would no have been possible without the help of Elana and Sonia to whom we are very grateful. Overall we had a memorable time.

This apartment is perfectly located in Portofino, has a wonderful view of the harbour and we enjoyed our stay there tremendously. There are several wonderful restaurants just downstairs and steps away. Elana was very kind and helpful and had many usefuls tips for our stay. We were completely satisfied with our stay.

A fantastic experience all around. We spent 4 nights in Portofino for a wedding and got to see various other lodgings (hotels and apartments) where friends stayed. Elana's flat overlooking the port was our favorite. The apartment is simple but totally charming, and the location couldn't be better. We loved waking up early to the quiet and gorgeous view before the day-trippers started to arrive midmorning. The whole port area/main plaza gets crowded during the day, but after about 6pm, things quiet down again, and we opened the shutters to enjoy the lush evening light. Also the restaurant downstairs, Gemeli, is very good—better than the three other port-side restaurants we tried. (Our other favorite was Da O Batti on an alley off the main plaza.) Two things that you may wonder about: 1: I had been slightly concerned about noise from downstairs, but it wasn't a problem for us, even sleeping with the windows open. (But if you wanted to, closing the windows & the interior shutters blocked sound and light very effectively.) 2: There's no air conditioning. We were there during a heat wave, but nonetheless found that placing a fan by the window cooled down the apartment at night. Closing the shutters during the day kept out the sun and the worst of the heat. The lack of AC wasn't a big issue. Finally, Elana was a great host. She was quick to answer questions (where to find a tailor) and helpful with logistics, such as booking a taxi. I would stay here again and highly recommend it to friends.

Elana was true to all of the reviews prior to our arrival. The location was superb and the restaurant noise was not a problem. More particularly, better to dine there and enjoy the fabulous family, food and views before retreating to the unit. This is an absolute gem and Elana's hospitality supersedes any minor shortcomings of which are not even worth the mention and no question she is already handling any slight request. Elana goes above and beyond from beginning to end. Thank you Elana.

Among the many leisure options on the Ligurian coast, Portofino is the best! Very nice, respectable, calm. I recommend to all who are not cramped in the media, you will be very happy.

This spot was truly amazing. It is directly above the stores and restaurants in the main area of (URL HIDDEN) you can see and hear everything going on. The room was quaint and clean with a small kitchen area...which we only used for coffee in the am...because there are so many amazing places to eat within steps of the apartment. We didn't meet Elana, but were greeted by Sonia, who was sweet and very ready to help with anything we might need. The hiking to San Fruttuoso was a treat (and far less crowded than the Cinque Terre hikes). We rented boat excursion for 3 hours one afternoon with Andrea...a friend of Elana's: A great way to view the amazing surrounding towns and impressive homes on the waterfront. Yes, we would come back and do this again!

Awesome location! Lovely setting, open the window and take it all in.

Accueil sympathique, belle situation, logement plutôt spacieux.

L'appartement est agréable, un défaut, le lit grince beaucoup et la parois qui sépare les deux pièces n'est pas très phonique. Donc si on est quatres personnes, l'intimité n'est pas optimum. Sinon, le matériel à disposition par exemple pour la cuisine est un peu minimum. La famille est très sympatique et chaleureux, j'ai passé trois semaines très agréable.

A warm welcome, FRANCESCO was very present to answer our requests. The rustic home boasts amazing views, it has everything you need for a short stay

Great apartment and great host, Francesco picked us up from the train station when we arrived which was helpful. The only thing I would say is that having a car is necissary, as there are no local shops or amenities close. The local bus to Camogli doesn't stop at the apartment, you have to walk 10-15 minutes up a very steep hill. Taxi is very expensive too! If you do not like dogs I would not recommend this place. Overall great apartment and we would definitely go again. (With a car this time!!)

We had a great time at Francesco's place, the view is spectacluar and Camogli is a perfect starting point for exploring the area. The apartment is situated rather calmly and can only be reached by a private (shared with the neighbours) winding road. The place itself though could be cleaner and looked like it didn't have anyone staying for a while. As mentioned by others, the bed isn't really comfortable for a couple. Also the shower might need some fixing. I would still recommend the place to others if cleanliness isn't your no 1 criteria.

Absolutely fantastic. The place is stunningly beautiful and Francesco is a wonderful host - went out of his way to be helpful when we forgot some items there. highly recommended!

The apartment is very cosy and lovely. We were very surprised by an amazing view on the bay and by a real horse and goat at the territory of the house) they are adorable! Though the host couldn't meet us on our arrival we were able to get to the place and it even was like a little adventure. Loved our staying there a lot!

We had a lovely stay in Francesco's cottage. It's really cosy with all the facilities needed. Only a short 15 minute walk down the hill to the town, which has plenty of good restaurants and bars and has a really picturesque port. Also fast and cheap travel routes from Camogli to the rest of Liguria and the city of Genova.

The location and views are wonderful. At dawn the sunny hill and see their homes, at sunset you see the sunset over the sea warms the entire slope where the house is located and wonderful night iluminadss see all locations in the hills. My girlfriend and I we have 61 years went up and down a few times to Camogli (God's people) without fail. The other 3 times we did by car because we were going to walk to other cities. The beds (cots) are a bit soft and noisy but the mattress is fine. With central heating maritime moisture is compensated. The department is complete and has all the utensils. Sometimes you feel any noise or smell of food upstairs. Would without a doubt!

Francesco was a very gracious host. He picked us up from the train station and was very communicative. He was very sweet and made sure we had everything we needed. The only thing is it is a bit away from the center of town if you do not want to commute.
