"Il Nido" - Studio of value at 150 mt. from the sea ... Levanto (SP)

Roberto and Marina were so helpful and patient with our arrival. We were driving from Venice for the first time, so we didn't arrive exactly on time.......the apartment was very clean and had everything we could have needed. Great location to some wonderful restaurants, cafes, coffee shops and shopping! We would definitely go back again for a stay!

Il Nido is perfectly positioned near the beach with spectacular views of the old town. Very well equipped and comfortable, the owners were really helpful too. Many thanks.

A neat apartment in an old building in the older part of town, and a perfect location for hiking trails, beach, bars, restaurants and shops. During our stay we hiked all along the coast from Portovenere to Bonnasola, using the excellent and frequent train service to break the route into reasonable chunks and return to Levanto each night. We also hiked into the interior to visit several forgotten villages. The network of trails is vast.

By the end of our stay, we loved Levanto. Relaxed, unpretentious and not too busy (not in late June at any rate).

And now for a useful tip: Levanto boasts one small church which gives you a time-check every fifteen minutes, 24/7. So at, say, 04.00, the big bell will give four bongs. At 04.15, the big bell will give four bongs and the little bell one ding. At 04.30, the big bell will give four bongs and the little bell two dings. At 04.45, the big bell will give four bongs and the little bell three dings. At 05.00 - well, you can guess the rest. At 07.00, the big bell in the main church resonates with a deeper, richer tone which leaves you feeling relieved that whoever programmed its ringing mechanism had the good sense to let it rest during the hours of darkness. The first night, I thought I must be dreaming. The second, I wore earplugs. But it wouldn't discourage us from returning to Roberto's delightful apartment .

we had everything we needed. The nest was very clean .

Thank you Marina and Roberto for your welcome and the ride to the train station.

Nadyne and Robert

We really enjoyed our time in Levanto and the studio was perfect for us. Very neat and clean, with a beautiful view. Easy to walk everywhere too. We wished we could have stayed longer!
