Casa Perla

The apartment is spacious and very comfortable for families, with separate bedrooms and plenty of room overall. The interior creates the feeling of staying in a traditional Italian family home rather than in a generic rental apartment, which gives the place a lot of character and atmosphere. The sea view is beautiful. You can both see and hear the sea from the apartment, and there is a small balcony where it is very pleasant to sit in good weather, enjoy a coffee or a glass of wine, and relax while listening to the waves. The balcony is small and most comfortable for two people, but the atmosphere is wonderful. A nice surprise was a bottle of good prosecco left by the host upon arrival. The beach is actually easy to reach - around 5–6 minutes on foot. The path is a bit steep, but Google Maps does not clearly show the underpass beneath the railway, so at first it may seem like you need to make a large detour to reach the sea. In reality, the walk is much shorter and more convenient.

The access roads to the apartment are extremely narrow. If you have a longer car, such as an Audi A4, passing other vehicles and parking can be stressful. The parking spaces are also very tight, and because of the surrounding bushes it is difficult to fully open the doors and comfortably get out of the car. Communication with the host was difficult because she only speaks Italian. There were many verbal explanations during check-in, but it was almost impossible for foreign guests to understand everything. Written instructions in several languages would make the experience much easier. The Wi-Fi connection is very weak. There is a repeater installed, but it only works properly within about a meter of it, and the signal disappears quickly when moving to another part of the apartment. The apartment contains a lot of decorative items. At first it feels charming and authentic, but after some time the amount of decoration becomes slightly overwhelming and not always practical. The kitchen and the balcony are located in different parts of the apartment, so if you want to eat outside you constantly need to carry food and dishes back and forth through the apartment. It is not really a problem that can be changed, but it is useful for future guests to know. Sound insulation is also not great. In the evenings and late at night we could hear a TV from neighboring apartments, which disturbed sleep a little. We stayed in May, and during the nights the apartment became quite cold. The floor was also very cold, and walking barefoot was uncomfortable. During the hot summer months this may actually be a benefit, but in cooler weather it is noticeable. The doors inside the apartment are very squeaky, especially at night when someone moves around while others are sleeping.

Comfort, pulizia, vicinanza al mare, tranquillità e gentilezza della proprietaria

Nulla da dire

Výborná lokalita. Ač jsme spíše navštěvovali pláže v blízkém Sestri Levante, nejbližší pláž je dolů po schodek dosažitelná pěšky přímo z ubytování. Ubytování nabízí parkování přímo před domem, což jsem těžko v této oblasti hledala. Výhodou je také blízkost dálnice, jsou snáze dosažitelná místa na ligurském pobřeží, která jsou jako stvořená pro výlety. Ubytování je prostorné a má velký balkon s výhledem na moře.

Uvítali bychom lepší/ větší vybavení kuchyně zejména stolním nádobím.

Everything was just perfect. We enjoyed a lot the two days we spent there. The view from the balcony was amazing. The owner has been very kind with us, letting us adding another person at the last minute.
