Perfect stay in a beautiful region

We had a wonderful stay at this apartment! Giulia and her mother are wonderful hosts and extremely helpful. The apartment is spacious & we were able to cook a few meals with a well stocked kitchen. The view from the balconies is incredible. It is really nice to come up to a mountain village to escape the heat & crowds in the evening. We were able to use the home as a base to take the ferry to Cinque Terre & Portofino. The bus to/from town runs hourly. It is super easy but does require a bit of planning on your day so you don’t get stuck waiting. We loved our stay!!

The perfect place!

We absolutely hit the jackpot with this stay! Guilia's communication with us was fast and always full of suggestions and information. The suite had everything we needed - especially the deck where we sat every night watching the glorious view of Santa Margherita and the ships in the harbour with a glass of wine of course. We didn't rent a car, but the location of Nona's House was such a short walk to the bus stop. We were so thankful for this location as we had all the benefits of Santa Margarita (10 minute bus ride) and then arriving back to our place with virtually no tourists around and just enjoying the quietness of the lovely area. We will definitely be recommending Nona's house to all our friends and family AND we hope to return!

Great hospitality!!!!

When we arrived to Lucia's Grandmother's House, Lucia met us at our car and took us inside to show us around and she answered many questions. She was warm and helpful and we loved the apartment! The bed was wonderful; along with all of the windows and two balconies. The balcony off of the kitchen overlooked the most wonderful view of the Tigullio Gulf and the city of Santa Margherita. We cooked most of our meals in the wonderful kitchen and walked to the center of town by taking the path down the side of the hill. We rode the bus back to the apartment which was easy to do from the bus station in Santa Margherita. We had dinner at the Pizzeria just down from the apartment and it was great with reasonable prices. We would love to return someday and take the cooking classes provided by Lucia. She was delightful! Thank you for a wonderful time in your Grandmother's house. When we were planning our trip, we had originally thought about staying in Portofino and were so thankful that we had decided on this location. The road to Portofino was narrow and congested and we would have felt stranded in Portofino for the three days while in Ligure. We highly recommend staying at this apartment!

A lesson at Grandma's House

We had a wonderful week at Grandma’s apartment! It was perfect for the four of us old retired folks. The very spacious and well appointed bedrooms, living area and kitchen made it feel like home! The location was ideal for exploring the surrounding towns and scenic sights and being in the hills overlooking the Mediterranean was a big plus. We especially liked the garden area where we could relax in the evening with a good bottle of wine and some special Hors d’oeuvres (thank you so much for the peppers stuffed with anchovies, what a treat!
). But the highlight of our stay was the cooking lesson, because it was so much more than that. I had asked Lucia before we came if she could give us a cooking lesson. Lucia asked what we wanted to cook and we told her we’d like to try some mussels in a red sauce. We expected a short lesson on sauce preparation, steaming mussels and some tasting as we went along. What we got was totally unexpected. We came downstairs to Lucia’s home around 4 PM and were greeted by the entire family including their Aunt who was toting a three foot rolling pin! After meeting Lucia’s family (and Duna the dog) she showed us the fresh mussels she purchased
3 Kilos! This was getting interesting. Between the wine, the conversation and the laughing we managed to make Homemade Pasta, Stuffed Mussels, Bolognese Sauce and Steamed Mussels, sampling the offerings as we went along. We all had a fun and laughter filled dinner together, again, totally unexpected but very much appreciated. We came down for a simple cooking lesson and left four and one half hours later with a realization that we had just experienced a very special evening in Italy with a very special Italian family. Thank you Lucia, Giulia and Family for your hospitality, spontaneity and friendship. John, Barb, John and Sue

Fantastic 5 days at Grandma’s House

From the moment Lucia picked us up in Rapallo and helped with the shopping, I knew this stay would be magical. She provided recommendations on things to see and how to catch the bus. We had a lovely evening making pizza and focaccia. Giulia and Guido we’re kind and it truly felt like a family dinner with great food! We saw beautiful sunrises from the balcony and enjoyed our morning coffee or evening wine from these seats. Don’t forget to walk up to San Lorenzo square and admire the beautiful church. Bus transport is inexpensive and convenient. We loved our holiday with Lucia and family.

Live like an Italian

We arrived here for four nights at the tail end of two weeks in Italy. This home is at the very top of the hill so you have views in every direction. We loved sitting out on the tiny terrace off the kitchen watching the view and the neighborhood. Everyone was very friendly and there was always something to see. We had a little trouble with the Internet one night and the owners quickly arrived with a very nice bottle of chilled prosecco and two chilled glasses. We enjoyed that very much and no longer cared about the Internet. If you want the experience of living like a local, this is the place.

Wonderful owners and place

We had a great stay at Grandmothers House. There is AC in the bedrooms if you need it and you can close the outside shutters so it is nice and quiet and dark. A great place to explore Portofino and Cinque Terre. We walked into Santa Margherita Ligure which was a nice walk but I would recommend the bus on the way back as it is all up hill. We did the cooking class and dinner which was so good. Not only was the food excellent but having dinner with Lucia, Guila & Guido was so much fun. They are such nice genuine people. Duna the dog was friendly as well. We made the Ligurian pasta with pesto, green beans and potatoes, totally recommended!!

Ferienwohnung mit Charakter

Das Haus liegt ĂŒber dem sehr touristischen Ort Santa Margherita in San Lorenzo in alltĂ€glicher Umgebung, mit einfacher Bar, Restaurant und LebensmittelgeschĂ€ft um die Ecke. Alle entfernteren Orte sind gut mit dem Bus gut zu erreichen. So kann man schöne Wanderungen in dem Naturschutzgebiet machen und kommt immer wieder mit Boot oder Bus gut zurĂŒck. Die Wohnung "Haus der Großmutter" ist entsprechen eingerichtet, was der Wohnung auch ihren eigenen Charme gibt. Die KĂŒche allerdings lĂ€ĂŸt zu wĂŒnschen ĂŒbrig. Da hĂ€tten wir uns weniger "Großmutter" gewĂŒnscht. Sowohl Einrichtung als auch KĂŒchenutensilien sind nicht mehr zeitgemĂ€ĂŸ. Da wir sehr gerne kochen und hervorragende Zutaten auf den MĂ€rkten (Rapallo ist sehr zu empfehlen) kaufen konnten, hat uns das sehr gestört. Die Vermieterin ist sehr nett, das Olivenöl hervorragend.

Perfect base to explore Portofino, Sestri Levante, Cinque Terre for the automobilists. Quite distance to the coast without the car. 10-15 minutes by car on a mountan road.

About the host

Hosted by giulia bocca

Host profile image
I am about to describe myself  hoping to give you a complete self poltrait!
I am Lucia a dinamic middle age madam even though sometimes I have one’s head in the cloud. Last but not the least I always want to be up-to-date about everything!!!
For example; Now I am learning english to communicate with my guests.  I have to face up that it is not easy to learn it but nothing is impossible.
To my guests, who loves and want discover Liguria, I prepared some guided tour in order to not miss anything!
Cooking is my passion 
 When I cook all my senses are implicated. I am gourmand and I cook well too, my family affirm.
I would like to, during this encounters, give some ligurian and italian cooking lessons to my guests 
in addiction we can speak about wines thanks to my son-in-law Guido,who is very fond of them.
I would like to do too many things in my life and I have a lot of ideas may be too many for my ages but I feel like I have half of them.

Why they chose this property

We choose to rent  the third floor of our house where we grew up and which reminds us a lot of happy memories. Where we want to give the opportunities of our guests to stay and live with us in order to share our traditions, our tastes and the beauty of our region!
Our house is located in the heart of Liguria in front of the Gulf Tigullio from where it is possible to reach the most beautiful touristic places of the nearby.
I love my region and I think is perfect in every seasons: during  autumn is warm and you can taste wine and our olive oil, during winter is calm  and temperate, during spring our region is in bloom and hot is getting on the way and in summer  sea and people whisperings are the attraction .
In order to have a wonderful holiday you can spend some time with us so you will arrive as guests and you will depart as friends!

What makes this property unique

Our house is unpretentious.
It has not been built for tourists but for our family and during the years we tried to improuve it. The only thing  that didn’t change is our wondreful view that you can admire from our kitchen balcony.
Moreover you can relax amoung olive trees and in summer you can drink a glass of wine, some Focaccia and pizza home made thanks to our wood oven a good way to get acquainted with us!
But for us the most important thing is to share our simplicity and openness with you all!
