About this apartment rental
CIN IT010044C2JOOH9HQJ
The living room's balcony overlooks at the tiny beach; the property is really “pied dans l’eau"
The house is an example of the late XIX century holiday villa of the Italian Riviera, built above its boathouse, has always starting point for beautiful canoe trips.
It is ideal for relaxed and refined holidays.
The position is very special between the green wooded hills and the sea, the flat overlooks a small public beach, that can be reached by a short path. It's next to the beautiful Paraggi bay, with its sand beach, amazing green transparent water, tiny village and exclusive villas.
A mild weather all year round, allows to enjoy walks along the sea and on the hills, or to shop in fashionable Portofino and Santa Margherita boutiques to lounge in a restaurant terrace.
From the boathouse below the flat you could appreciate the beauty of Portofino Marine Park in the best possible way: paddling, rowing, with 'outdoorportofino' .
By a short walk (or by bus) you will reach Portofino with fashionable shops, very nice and romantic outdoor cafés and restaurants.
It is included in the natural park of Portofino that features beautiful walks in different environments due to the special biodiversity of flora and fauna, with stunning views on the sea and steep cliffs.
If you like trekking, this is an amazing area with stunning landscapes: we highly recommend the classic trip to Portofino - San Fruttuoso Abbey, which leaves directly from the house or comfortably by ferry from Portofino.

We had a wonderful week at the boathouse- it really is the most spectacular and unique place to stay. The view from the house is breathtaking with a vast kitchen and living area. Portofino and Santa Margerita are beautiful towns but very expensive!

The location absolutely makes this house! It is perfectly and uniquely situated between Portofino and Santa Margherita. You won't find anything else like it- with such close access to the beach, beautiful views, and spacious home. PROs: Beach access right across the street. Owner provides beach chairs, umbrella, towels, toys. View & balcony! Unique, old, spacious house. Well-equipped kitchen. Washer/dryer. Perfect location! Bus stop right outside. Paved, safe walking trails to Portofino. CONS: Have to cross a busy road (with kids) to get to the beach. Beach can get very crowded at busy times of year. Mold in bathrooms. AC doesn't get much above 27C/80F on hot summer days (owner provided fans upon request). Strong musty smell in bedrooms- had to run dehumidifiers constantly. Our family stayed for a week and had a wonderful time (though a week was a little long for this location)! The kids loved the beach and paddleboarding. Portofino and Santa Margherita are very easy to get to for shopping, meals, exploring. The bus is very easy (if you can get the bus drivers to stop for you). Warning: if you go during the heat of the summer, make sure to tell the owner to start the dehumidifiers a day or two before you get there or else your sheets and towels will be wet and musty. Otherwise, we had a wonderful trip!

1900 vintage house in fairly good condition near Nature Preserve and overlooking a small public beach. Boat house offers kayak, paddle board, and snorkeling equipment. Peaceful and quiet early morning; became crowded throughout the day. Located at the trailhead from Niasca to Portofino and Paraggi, a beautiful short hike.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2025
The house is beautifully located right by the beach (which gets crowded early, but you can set out sunbeds) and has a fantastic balcony with a stunning view — great for 3–4 people to sit outside. Inside, the spacious and bright living room is a real highlight. The kitchen is well-equipped (dishes, glasses, dishwasher), though we had to bring basics like toilet paper, soap, and dishwasher tabs.There’s a scenic hiking trail through the woods to Portofino (beautiful but expensive — 5 per scoop of ice cream, 18 for an Aperol).Downsides:We had serious issues with the beds. Though we asked in advance if the house could accommodate 7 adults, several single beds were very short — one so short that feet were sticking out — and extremely uncomfortable. The mattresses were saggy and worn. The host admitted they were “on the smaller side” and offered to buy a topper, but that didn’t solve the core problem.The second issue was parking: the listing implies multiple spots, but only one is included. The host told us just two days before arrival. We had to rent a second space for 250/week — a good rate compared to 80/day ( 480 total) but still an unexpected cost. Parking is very difficult in the area and should be clearly explained upfront.Sadly, both of these unpleasant issues added significant stress to our stay. We filed a complaint with FeWo Direkt and were refunded the service and parking fees.In short: a beautiful place with some major drawbacks.
