Massimiliano was an amazing host his advice was great to discover the city and the appartement was very well located 5 min Walk from downtown. You can book it without any doubt !!

Massimiliano is a great person and kind host. He is the perfect example of the benefits of arranging a vacation via Airbnb. Massimiliano knows the area and always happy to explain and provide useful tips for trips in and around town. The house is located in a quiet neighbourhood, 10 minutes walking from the town's beaches and centre. Grazie Mille Massimiliano!

Massimiliano went to pick up us at the station with his car and that was so nice ! Then he explained us a lot of things about the region, the nice things to do etc. He gave us a wonderful address to have dinner in Sestri Levante ! The room was nice and the breakfast was amazing with nice bread and focaccia !

Great stay. Massi has a great place, clean, comfortable stay within walking distance from everywhere in town. Plus, Massi is extremely kind and helpful, feels like staying at a friend's house.

Massimiliano made us feel more than welcome in his home. He was incredibly helpful and made our stay as easy as possible. He picked us up and dropped us off at the train station and printed our plane tickets for us. Both rooms were very nice and clean. The location was easy and close to everything. When we return to beautiful Sestri we plan to stay with him again

He was so kind and helpfull, he took us from the train station twice, prepared nice breakfast and coffee, so helpfull for city tour and everythink, thanks alot

We loved our stay at Massimiliano. He was very friendly and helped us to find our way around , what to do and where to eat, all very helpful when you dont have the time to explore yourself. The place was very close to the main attractions an easy walk. We only stayed a night but would have loved to have stayed longer its a beautiful cozy town with nice walks, beach and good food.

It was a fantastic stay at Massimilliano's place. From start to finish he made me very welcome. He met me at the station, told me about all the things to do in the area including the transport details. The flat was great, full of character and each morning he prepared a lovely breakfast out on the garden terrace which always included a great conversation! I highly recommend his place. I had a lovely time.

We had a wonderful stay at Marinella's! Her appartment is very cute and clean, the room is very big and it looks exactly like in the pictures (with own access to the big balcony). Marinella herself is a wonderful host. She cares about her guests (she gave us earplugs to block the train-noise at night), gives advice on what to see and where to go, sits down for a chat and prepares a wonderful breakfast every morning. As it was raining when we arrived she gave us a call and wanted to know where she could pick us up :) and when our host for the next day cancelled our reservation on very short notice, Marinella let us stay spontanously for one more night. Sestri Levante is a peaceful little town with a nice little beach and perfect train connections to Cinque Terre. Thank you again for welcoming us with a warm soup on a rainy night, Marinella! We enjoyed staying with you! Highly recommended.

The welcome was great. Marinella was very kind, attentive and discreet.

Marinella met us up at the train station and guided us to his apartment where we were given access to a room, bathroom, bed linens and towels. She offered breakfast and told us about places in town. If you get the chance you should sit down and talk to her, she is a woman with many experiences and laughs! We felt incredibly welcomed!

It was a really fantastic memory.I lived one night here with my friend. Marinella is kind. Her room is nice, comfortable and so convenient. She gave us a lot of helpful information about the city, transportation, tourist attractions and Cinque Terre. The most surprised thing is a wonderful homemade breakfast. Everything was great there. We would like to live there again when we travel to Cinque Terre in next time.

Very clean,a lovely residence indeed. Best memory ever^^

Lovely host in simple family home looking for value this is it. We stayed in Marinella's home right near the train station, she has two other places to rent this is "MARY HOUSE" trust me it was great easy to get to with my two children late at night . We laughed out loud going to bed about the sound of the trains, but actually it was not bad and wanted to stay longer.Meters to the beach Great value for money in a beautiful town.

We had a nice stay at Mary's home. We didn't have much contact with Mary except for the first day when she welcomed us and showed us the apartment. The room is large and well equipped with a nice by balcony too. It would have been nice to have a little more clarification on what we could and couldn't use in the house, and which rooms were out of bounds. We did feel a little like we were intruding on her space sometimes. But otherwise a pleasant stay. Do realise that the trains are very loud, this didn't bother us as we're heavy sleepers, but if you need quiet to sleep then the room might not be right for you.

Be guest Marinella is like being at home of their mother. There guests but feel part of the family. The room is very comfortable and spacious as well as clean. The house is equipped with all the functionality you need. The strategic location allows both to visit the Cinque Terre that experience the city. The advice of Marinella, that something pluris rarely found elsewhere. We will be back.

The apartment is completely independent, it can easily accommodate up to 5 people. I found it very clean, well kept and pleasantly furnished. The kitchen is well equipped and found on the table a basket with seasonal fruit and everything you need for a good breakfast ... Impeccable! Although I was only for one night, definitely I would recommend it to couples or families who love peace and beach life.

Walking into a home and be greeted by the aroma fills the Violets' soul and gladden the heart. Apartment super comfortable, functional and near the sea. Very cute and owners available I recommend it and I hope in the future to organize ina trip and to return.

We found spacious and comfortable home, as well as clean and equipped. Host polite, serious and timely. Super recommended!

We spent a very good night with Patrizia and Massimo. Everything was provided for our arrival: bedding, snacks, towels ... the top!

The brightly, cozy appartement in Mediterranean style is located in a lively street only 10 minutes walk to the ocean. We haven't met Patrizia in person, but the communication with her was unproblematic and everything was well provided for our short stay.

The house is really nice, clean and equipped! perhaps best photos. very quiet and comfortable even for the beach! owners very kind and helpful!

A Patrizia could not meet her but her husband was very helpful before our arrival. The house is such that the ad, very clean and equipped. The location is fine if you're in the car.

Patrizia was very kind to us .the house is 800 meters from the sea, clean and spacious, very well equipped.

Perfectly as advertized. The apartment is located absolutely brilliantly. Davide was really flexible regarding the check in. Would go there again.

Hermosa vista muy lindo apartamento. Zona muy tranquila y segura con varios restaurant a metros con vista al mar. El anfitrión muy cordial y siempre dispuesto

Maddy is a great host!! Upon arrival she gave us great recommendations for Sestri. The apartment is in a great location and had everything you could need including a parking space ;) Loved staying so close to everything. It is an easy 5 min walk to the sandy! beach in the bay of silence, once there relax and go for a swim, then relax some more and have an aperol spritz at the beach bar. Took the train into other towns on the coast and they had a much more touristy feel. Sestri Levante was by far our favorite. Highly highly recommended this place for a great stay on the Mediterranean.

Maddalena was very welcoming and gave us some tips where to go in Sestri Levante. The appartment is very nice and clean and very well located next to the historical center. The terrace was a real treat (if you can stand the heat!) and we enjoyed having dinner outside. There is no air conditioning but you can get a nice draft by opening the doors to the terrace.

Maddalena is a great host and this airbnb experience is truly the best we had insofar! The apartment is spacious, perfectly enough for 3 (we are a couple with a 5yo child), very light and clean. It has everything one might need. The balcony is huge!! We enjoyed so much having our meals outside, very pleasant! Location is perfect too, close to the beach, 2 steps from the city center (restaurants, shops, supermarkets etc.) and "main" pedestrian street but really quiet. A place to recommend!

This is a very nice, clean and modern appartment. Their host Maddalena is very pleasant and friendly. We stayed there for 4 nights and celebrated wedding ceremony. Any restaurants and beach within walking distance of the apartment. We had a pleasant stay! Would definitely stay here again. Thank you.

Our stay at Maddalena's place was great - the apartment is spacious and as described. Maddalena is a good host, there is information in the apartment and she's always around if there are any questions. The location is perfect, only two minutes to the oldtown with bars, restaurants, shops and the beaches. A beatuiful trail leads to Punta Manara with an amazing view over the coast and the mediterranean a few steps from the apartment. The station with trains to Cinque Terre is also in walking distance. So if you need a place to stay in the region, I can highly recommend Maddalenas apartment!

We loved our stay at Maddalena's apartment. It was in a great location, very easy to walk anywhere in the city, market and restaurants all close by. The apartment itself was clean, cute and very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the big balcony in the mornings and evenings. The highlight of our stay was Maddy herself. She was very helpful, friendly and fun to talk to. She even surprised us with home made lemon cake one evening! If we ever have the opportunity go back to Sestri Levante we would want to stay at Maddy's place again.

everything perfect, kind welcome, great communication. To be recommended! thanks, dear Maddalena

We had a great time in Sestri Levante thanks to Maddalena and her very nice apartment. Maddalena is a wonderful host who gave us worthwhile tips regarding restaurants and the area around Sestri Levante. The apartment was very clean and lies in a nice and quiet area. We can really recommend this apartment and we think we will book it again in the future.

Excelent apartment!!very confortable for 4 persons and Virginia an excelent host!the sofa bed was very confortable and we have everything we needed!the location is the best!very close to the beach!

Virginia is a great hostess, she is super friendly and very welcome. The apartament is really in one of the best areas and location of the city. Very close to the two oceans fronts in a small and quiet street. Super worthy to stay there. Recomend!!!

Our stay at Virginias apartment in Sestri Levante was just perfect. Everything was as descriped and very clean, right in the center of the old town... we felt very comfortable, thank you!

The apartment is nice and clean - compact but very well organised and with all equipment you might need - there is even an umbrella and a deckchair to take to the beach ! Location is lovely and Virginia was very helpful. The only thing is that being in a tiny road with a restaurant below it could be a bit noisy in the afternoon ! never heard anything in the night though. Ci siamo trovate bene, grazie Virginia !

Great location and Virginia was always in touch via text. Thank you!

Great experience !!

perfect location near the beach - nicely decorated and spotless. The bathroom is a bit small and there could be some noise in the morning and evening from the street. Felt very Italian!

We had a lovely time in Sestri L. and Virginia's apartment was spacious and in the perfect location. Virginia was a very easygoing and lovely host. All in all we would love to go back!

The nice apartment near the beach, but has plumbing that creates losses, inconvenient. Kind. The times of entry and exit absurd: X go to wait the 15 and you must leave the house at 11 !!! So great discomfort especially if like me arrived x weekend having an animal that is accepted but without understanding the needs as it is unthinkable to have to spend the first half a day waiting to enter and be out in the morning of the second day. But that weekend?

The super friendly and flexible host, great location, close to the station and the sea. Everything at your fingertips.

perfect apartment, perfect location, perfect welcome and high availability. The day before departure I had to postpone because I had a sick child and very kindly allowing me to move to 15 days. Everything more then perfect. I recommend to everyone.

Simple apartment, very cute and perfect to spend a few days the only flaw that the shower is not the best. Position more than great right near the sea!

The communication was perfect and on time. The apartment is a studio on the first floor (with elevator) located just behind the train station so very convenient and not too far from the center. It 'a great base for spending a weekend in Sestri in a quiet area to spend more time would need some improvements, especially the bathroom is very small. He feels a bit 'the absence of a television. Overall a pleasant stay and maximum availability by those who hosted us.

Simple and basic. Super central and convenient. Ideal for no more than two people.

Virginia had an electrical problem in its housing was not available but suddenly she was responsible for booking and we pay a hotel room.

Small and equipped apartment really close to the sea and to the main streets. Perfect for couples and spend the weekend! Recommended!

It was the first Airbnb experience of us. We have stayed 3 nights at Franco's place. I can tell you that he is a very very good host, he arranged for us a very close parking place to the apartment, even tough he does not serve breakfast he arranged for us all breakfast ingredients, show us the town by bike, gave us great tips and so on so on. Also the flat was very close to the beach and all the restaurants are very close. I highly recommend this apartment. Additionally I am very happy to meet such a host like Franco!

Franco is an amazing host that we would highly recommend. The room is spacious, clean and the bed is comfortable. The room also has a wonderful balcony that we enjoyed espresso and breakfast on each morning. More about Franco - he is kind and generous. When we first arrived he met us at the train station and drove us to his home. He had read our profile and new we enjoyed wine and as a result had a lovely snack of meat, cheese, olives and local red wine waiting for us. During our stay he help with directions, recommendations and itinerary planning. He provided us two bicycles to tour the town with, which we thoroughly enjoyed. If we ever find ourselves in Sestri Levante again we will most assuredly look up our new friend Franco.

Franco is a fantastic and always smiling man, he was kind enough to host me and my girlfriend for a fantastic stay in the beautiful Sestri Levante. Everything was perfect: the room, the bathroom, the house and the sea. We're looking forward to visit Sestri Levante again and we'll have no doubt about the place to stay. Franco kindly gave us directions for places to eat and places to visit, we had such and amazing vacation and every day was better than the other one. Highly recommended, he's probably the best host I've ever met.

Franco was very warm and friendly. He went to extra trouble to see that I had everything I needed from being picked up at the station and showing me around town.

Franco is a extraordinary man. We had some real good discussions, I learned a lot, he picked me up at arrival, prepared food, gave me cloths and lend me bike! The service was better then in any 5 star hotel. The place is comfortable, has a good location, is clean and has plenty of room. I leave Sestri Levante a little big bigger and with one friend more.

Franco is an excellent host and a great positively charged personality. He exceeded all our expectations. If not a beach holidays, it make sense to visit him just to chit-chat and gain some new interesting knowledge:) Already of arrival Franco met us with his car and a sign on the railway station. We've been offered with all kinds of things we may need for our holidays. This included essentials (including towels for the sea!), beach umbrella and chairs for the sea (or whatever is the name for this), 2 bicycles, a fridge full of food, fruits and even alcohol. Flat is really nice. We had a separate bedroom with balcony and all we may need and a separate bathroom (with shared shower). Since Franco knows the district very well and loves to plan he made an effort to create 2 excellent tours to surrounding towns and also gave us a real excursion in Sestri Levante. The best part of the Sestri Levante's beach is situated really quite close to the flat. Old town and all attractions are 10 minutes walk (5 minutes ride on the bicycle). Since we were already in ~7 other town on the Ligurian shore I would also recommend this town itself. Sestri Levante is a best place to stay. Great and long beach with clean water, beautiful town and bays, many restaurants (and Franco knows where to go), shops and many happenings/events. All in all - excellent stay and highly recommended!

Great host - we came over for the weekend and Franco welcomed us personally with the fridge filled (!) Bikes to use and even arranged parking.... Location is excellent / city centre walkable so no need for a car.

Franco e' un ospite molto cortese, accogliente e disponibile. Ha fatto il possibile per farci sentire a nostro agio e c'e' riuscito. La stanza e' confortevole, la casa e' in una posizione strategica, a pochi passi dal mare e vicino la stazione ferroviaria. L'ideale per chi vuole approfittare e fare una gita alle Cinque Terre. Lo consigliamo!

Very nice well kept apartment easy access to train. Host very happy to assist with any queries.

Andrea's place is clean, very well located and nicely decorated with new furniture. Would definitely stay again!

Great stay at Andrea's apartment. The apartment was very clean and spacious. 25 minutes by walk to reach the city center and beaches. Thanks Andrea.

Beautiful brand new renovated apartment, everything was organized and very customer friendly. There was breakfast and hand-made cake in the kitchen. We had a wonderful time, good recommendations!

Andrea, thank you for being a superb Host! I loved your B & B ❤️. I would highly suggest to my family, friends and all future visitors planning to go to Sestri Levante to stay at your place. Excellent location close to everything! Very affordable. It's a lovely place. You were an excellent host.

Andrea welcomed us to Sestri Levante personnally, making us feel at home with the amenities at her flat and even making a dinner reservation for us at a favorite local restaurant. The flat was spotlessly clean, open and sunny and very convenient to the town's famous seaside beaches, shopping and dining district. Can't wait to return there and stay longer.

It's amazing flat! Very comfortable,clean and cozy! We had car,so to the beach it took 1-2 minutes. Andrea was very helpful-all our requests he solved momentarily! Thank you for cake,wine and unforgettable holiday in your city and in your nice flat!

Fabulous apartment, very clean and light with lovely deck on which to have breakfast. Andrea was great and very helpful. He left for us on our arrival some breakfast food, a couple bottles of water, and a bottle of wine which was so nice! The location is very convenient to the autostrada. The walk to the beach took us 20-30 minutes but was a flat and easy walk. Great stay at Andrea's apartment!

Perfect apartment pleasant and very functional! Near the Cinque Terre and just minutes from the sea for a successful holiday.

Very nice apartment located twenty minutes walk from the historic heart of Sestri Levante, Bay of silence and the train station. Conveniently located with shops around. Ideal for visiting Genoa, the Ligurian coast, the 5 lands. We even pushed to Lucca and Pisa. very friendly welcome from Paolo and Veronica, who were also accommodating to the arrival and departure times. One note: the train passes close to the apartment. If you are sensitive to noise, a pair of earplugs can be a plus! I'd go back if I had to spend in the area!

This was one if not the best of all my airbnb experiences. The flat is spacious, modern, and very beautiful. Paolo is a great host, friendly and well-organized. I absolutely recommend the flat. A friend and me stayed for three night and had an awesome time.

We spent 3 great days in Sestri Levante and 5 Terre. The appartment is very charming. I totally recommend this place! Grazie Paolo and Veronica!

Very nice and cozy place not too far from the centre of Sestri. Perfect solution if you have a car and you want to travel around. Paolo is a very nice and kind host and gave us good suggestions for places and parking. There is a wifi dongle but we haven't used it.

Paolo and Veronica were so friendly and welcoming, the apartment was like new - beautifully furnished, spacious, comfortable. We loved it here. I would completely recommend it.

Paul's apartment is really very nice and comfortable. was very nice coming meeting on arrival and departure times proving very helpful. Thanks to his companion Veronica we got to get useful information on where to go and how to get around, there has also provided various maps with schedules and forth to move. Absolutely recommend this solution. Thank you again for kind hospitality. Greetings from Brescia (Michele) and from L'Aquila (Luisana)

friendly hosts and available. Valuable tips to better appreciate the city and neighboring villages. The apartment is a perfect starting point for excursions in the Cinque Terre and Genoa.

l'alloggio è situato in un posto meraviglioso, pulito e attrezzato praticamente come casa nostra, la padrona di casa è gentilissima: ottima scelta per un'ottima vacanza!

L'appartamento è in posizione centralissima nel carruggio di Sestri Levante, ordinato, pulito e confortevole. Degne di nota la cortesia e la disponibilità dei proprietari. Esperienza eccellente.

Super gelegen und sehr schön. Der Gastgever ist extrem freundlich und zuvorkommen. War jederzeit für Fragen ansprechbar. Wir genossen eine super Zeit im Sestri - empfehlenswert

Adreiana was a wonderful host. We enjoyed a nice appartment with a fantastic view. Adreiana was very hepful,she gave us lots of good information and we would like to return immediately. Thanks a lot for everything. Greetings Sonja and Thorsten

The apartment is nice, spacious and clean, everything as in the advert. But the best are the views from the terrace. We enjoyed a lot our sunny breakfasts looking to the bay. The gabled roof makes the space cozy, although in bath was a bit tight, but we managed! The place is up on a hill and surrounded by nature, so it´s really quiet and silent. Andreina was really helpful, kind and easygoing. We informed her that we were coming quite later as agreed and it was no problem. I would absolutely recommend the apartment!

Its a very nice apartment with a great view! Andreina - who speaks very well english - is a nice host.

Excellent accomodation, excellent view, excellent host, excellent communication-we will defintely come back. This was a truly fabulous stay and its a great starting point to explore this part of Italy. Genova is in easy reach as it is Cinque Terre and Pisa. Genova was more beautiful and interesting as expected and Nervi -the coastal walk was brilliant as was the seafood. And our host is a very accomodating and lovely lady. Thanks

Everything has been great and easy - the view from the apartment is absolutely beautiful, the apartment is cosy and Andreina is a very welcoming host. We would you like to come back immediately :) Mille grazie, Andreina!

Un très bon accueil dans un site panoramique assez exceptionnel,de très bons conseils pour visiter et se restaurer, mais la tarification reste un peu compliquée.

Super accueil d'Andreina, appartement propre et fonctionnel, lit très confortable. Sans parler de la vue!

Wir waren sehr froh, dass Sergio uns von der Kirche San Bernardo abgeholt hat und dass Andreina uns so viele wertvolle Tipps für unsere Touren nach Cinque Terre, Genua und die Wanderungen in und um Sestri Levante gegeben hat. Beide sind sehr nett. Überwältigend ist der Blick vom Balkon auf die Stadt und das Meer. Die Ausstattung ist genau so, wie beschrieben.

We drove to Italy from Munich and we arrived later than planned, but that was fine with Vanessa and Stefano. The place was clean and nice, and we had a good stay. Sestri Levante is beautiful and quiet at this time of year.

a perfect place for families with small children, equipped with table, chairs, really all you need; knowing of the presence of our baby did they find cute games and books. The position is strategic: not far from the motorway, close to the center. convenient private parking. Stephen and Vanessa are really helpful and kind, attentive to every need.

We very much welcomed by Stefano eté and Vanessa. The apartment is comfortable, large and very clean and it is well placed to visit the Cinque Terre. We will keep good memories of our stay in Sestri Levante

The apartment is really super nice. Large, spacious and equipped with the most necessary. The owners are very nice and always available for questions. The only thing that bothered us that it is a long walk to the city center. Around it is not where you might expect, so either you go by car to the city center, or you walk the 2.5 km.

The accommodation was exactly the description and has them well suited for a family with 1-2 children, as both a toddler bed and toys available. Even otherwise, everything you need is available and it was very clean. The location is a bit away from the city center, which can be reached on foot but in about 20 minutes. Despite the location on a relatively busy street during the day, it is fairly quiet at night. Parking for the car are in the immediate vicinity plenty available and the access to the motorway is great. Generally Sestri Levante is a good starting point for trips, you can reach the Cinque Terre by train best within 20-25min. Overall, definitely a highly recommended accommodation. Thanks to Vanessa and Stefano

Vanessa, Stefano and their boys were all very welcoming to our family! The apartment is as clean and comfortable in person as it looks in the pictures. They always greeted us with a smile, answered all of our questions, gave us suggestions, picked us and from the train station... This was our first Airbnb experience, and it was fabulous! Vanessa went above and beyond our expectations! The apartment is within a 20-30 minute walk of the downtown. Our 8- and 5-year old both had no trouble exploring this way. A couple of grocery stores are within 5-10 minutes of the apartment as well. It didn't take us long to find our way around. For further exploration, a data plan might be helpful!

From the moment we were greeted by Vanessa felt like we were at home, the apartment is very clean, equipped with everything you need, especially for those who have two kids like us the space and the presence of games have an advantage. In short, the only one not happy moment was the start! Thanks to Vanessa and Stephen for their great hospitality

Excellent hospitality and helpfulness of the hosts. Accommodation very clean and pleasant. We spent a wonderful weekend. Stay to be recommended.

Everything was exactly as described, very nice & clean appartment, close to the beach, great terrasse, thank you Paolo & Milena for everything, we had a wonderful vacation in Sestri Levante!

Paolo's apartement is very well equipped and perfect for 2 persons; we were excited about the large terrazza. Also a private parking makes the arriving confortable. The apartement is perfectly positioned nereby the historic city center of Sestri. The beautiful Baia del Silenzio is also in walking distance. Unfortunately the beach and the sea are not so clean there. Wonderful for swimming and diving is Moneglia, 10 minutes from Sestri by train. To the train station where you easily can take trains to a lot of nice small towns and beaches as well as to bigger cities like Genua you'll find in 3 minutes walking distance (by open doors you hear passing some trains; but it is not disturbing at all). You’ll find a wonderful fish shop, a greengrocery, a supermarket, a bakery and lots of restaurants (for example the Lanterna), cafés and bars at a distance of 200 to 500 meters. We didn't meet Paolo. Sra. Milena gave us the keys and showed us everything. Communication with Paolo in the beginning and with Milena on-site was very effective and easy. Ciao Katrin & Thomas

Never met Paolo but a lovely lady called Milena was there to greet us. We had some trouble with our flights so we were a bit late and Milena waited for us which was incredibly kind of her and we could not thank her enough. You'll be sleeping on a sofa bed so not super comfy but I found it okay, no WiFi at the property but the town has free WiFi. It is in a perfect location for visitors to Sestri Levante, good balcony, plenty of cooking utensils. All in all a pleasant trip and adequate accommodation for a week stay. Thanks Paolo.

Very nice appartement, wonderful terrace. It is recommended to coordinate with the owner about the availability of bed linens and towels.

Paolo was not initially there to meet us when we arrived but he sent a lovely substitute Melina! They were both very polite and very nice. The apartment itself is very small and there are no beds! No bedrooms and no privacy! only sofa beds that you must put back up after sleeping in if you want to be able to walk around the apartment.. These are extremely uncomfortable and honestly can only be bared for 1 night maximum. The sofa beds are for sharing, so it is great for a small family or one couple. as 2 couples will have no privacy. I did not sleep well here with my 2 large parents and my boyfriend, who we had to get a single chair bed from upstairs for (my parents are religious and wouldn't approve of us sleeping together) when I saw the posting I didnt realise there were no bedrooms. or beds! For 4 people! BEWARE- this is terribly uncomfortable! The apartment was bare! not even toilet paper! Bring your own everything! And the hidden fee of 30 euros! for linen was ridiculous! we bought our own in the end. I just thought that was rather cheeky and a little much considering they didn't even provide beds. We had to beg and plead with the owner to provide us with an extra single chair bed from another apartment of his. The neighbourhood is nice, very close to the station and the town centre (Which is pretty). there is also free parking which is a huge plus. Yet none of this makes up for the fact that, there is no space, no beds, no linen provided, no toilet paper even.

Great choice of an apartment, with everything you need. Choose the bed further away from the windows, even though it’s a bit narrower and has less room around – it has seen less bodies and is much more comfortable. The apartment is a bit difficult to find since the building is located behind other buildings on the same street. Asking locals was not a great help – nobody knows exactly where number 56 is. Before leaving home, the best is to ask Paolo for a plan/sketch of the area which clearly indicates the building. A friend of Paolo greets you upon arrival, so it is a good idea to have her phone number, too. Alternatively, Paolo was easily reached by phone (it was a Sunday). There is a ceiling ventilator above the bed near the window. We didn’t need it in May, but I’m sure it provides a cool and comfortable sleep in Summer. I personally find a ceiling ventilator more comfortable than air conditioning. You can get basics like milk and bread within walking distance and there is a big store not far away (car). Don’t panic when you see the railway – it won’t disturb your sleep. The walls are not well insulated, though, and the neighbors talk loud enough to follow their conversation if you understand Italian! We also enjoyed walking to the historical center in the evening. Enough choice of restaurants to satisfy everyone. The apartment is ideally located, a few paces from the train station, so do yourself a favor and leave your car in the reserved parking space that comes with the apartment and use the train. We did so for Cinque Terre – you buy a ticket Sestri Levante – Levanto (3,40€) + buy the Cinque Terre train and trail card, all at the Sestri Levante train station. It was comfortable and in the end cheaper than parking at Levanto + highway charges… and it enabled us to have a bottle of wine without restrictions on driving. We unfortunately did not do the same to visit Portofino and San Fruttuoso and regretted it – not only is parking hard to find in Santa Margherita, but it’s also 2,50€/hour! We should have taken the train … Go for it! From Santa Margherita, take the bus to Portofino but buy a return ticket in the machine next to the Tourism Office. Don’t go to the "Tabacchi" in front of the Tourism Office where the employee sends you (unfair, she should be more honest) – The Tabacchi steals you by selling you two single tickets (more expensive) rather than a two-way ticket. If you try to explain you want a two-way ticket, he pretends he doesn’t know it exists … so choose the machine, it understands (you can put it in English)! Take the train to Porto Venere as well – it’s the best option. From there you can take the bus to Sarzana as well.

The Appartement was quite costly for what it offered, but clean. No Internet and bed sheets were not included. Probably it is OK for people who want to stay over summer in beautiful Sestri Levante, but for a short stay I cannot recommed it.

The place is in central Sestri Levante and you can walk all around easily. The free private parking is a big bonus since it's impossible to find a parking elsewhere. It's a studio, so a big area with 2 sofa beds which were more than adequate for my needs. Little kitchenette and fridge also convenient. Overall excellent stay and I would choose it again next time! Thanks!
