Dream location with panoramic view near the Cinque Terre

This property is incredibly well-equipped, providing everything we needed. Set in a very peaceful location, the outside deck offers a view of the most amazing sunsets. Additionally, it is conveniently located for access to Cinque Terre and provides an easy drive to Pisa Airport.

We were instructed to state the exact time we would arrive - no time range allowed. We drove for 8 hours with only one stop, experienced an hour stationary in Genoa tunnel because of traffic chaos. Luckily we arrived in time. No one there!! Note on the door from the manager – she had gone skating and we were to pick up the key from a neighbour. She said she had sent a txt but we didn’t receive it as we were in transit. Her note said she would call round ‘tomorrow afternoon’ so we stayed home not to miss her. 27 hours later, she arrived at 8.30pm as we were finishing dinner. We couldn’t make the tv work because there were no instructions, and the wifi was broken. Her husband had to fix it. I drew her attention to the microwave which had glass pie dish instead of a turntable and didn’t work properly, she shrugged and said ‘yes I know’. It also had a burn mark on rear inside wall. There was no plug in the sink so we couldn’t wash up – she said use the dishwasher – but there weren’t enough tablets for the week. There was no kettle, we had to use a saucepan. The bed mattress was hard foam, bottom of the range Ikea, 12cm thick. The two small pillows were hard rubber – we had to request more – another 24 hours while she sought approval from the owner. The CRT tv was decades old and no dvd player or any books, just a few dogeared magazines. The website says linens provided, but further down the page it contradicts and says you have to pay – yes you have to pay. You have to pay for gas too – I have never had this before. There was no welcome pack, no welcome note, no bottle of wine, or chocolates, fresh bread, flowers etc like other hosts. Just four pages of detailed instructions in German and English stuck on the wall on how to sort the rubbish between the 5 bins cluttering the kitchen – don’t make a mistake or you will be charged extra. Check out other critical reviews, the winding road is miles from the town and supermarkets. The garden is unkempt and unsuitable for children, the stairs down to the bottom bedroom are not stairs but a loft ladder dangerous for young children. Yes the view from the terrace is great – the customer service is a disaster - we left early to go to other accommodation.

Excellent cottage, quiet, sufficient facilities and clean, well maintained. The views and location are first class. Excellent communication with owner and manager. We are satisfied, the only drawback was the location was a bit tricky to get to, due to condition of roads.

We spent two weeks at this fantastic place and it was a great time.The owners were extremely helpful and friendly. They created friendly atmosphere and great conditions for rest. The house has so much charm and character with a delightful terrace. We absolutely loved it. The house had literally everything you could possibly need and the kitchen is fully kitted out. We will definitely stay again and would recommend to others.

The accommodation was beautiful; it had everything to make our stay wonderful. It was superb waking up in the morning listening to the birds singing and the garden was very peaceful. It had all the amenities anyone would need. I would highly recommend this fabulous home to anyone.

We were very happy: a cosy & comfortable house in a really beautiful garden with a stunning view. A lot to see in the surroundings but not really necessary if you like to read and to walk. A real gem, we''ll be back!

Perfect place to stay for tuscany and liguria fans! The location near La Spezia is ideal for day-trips to Pisa, Genoa, Florence and the magnificent Cinque Terre. The two separate sleeping areas provided excellent space and privacy. We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house.

We stayed in the Villa Garibaldino in July 2012. It´s really a very good accommodation with a fantastic view from the terrace. It is a peaceful, harmonious place. The kitchen is equipped with all necessary things to cook. The appartment is very clean and nice. Surroundings are beautiful. Carlo and Silvana, the caretakers, are very friendly and helpful. We had a very nice and relaxing vacation here. Sara & family
