Levanto is a beautiful town and a great base for exploring Liguria (including the Cinque Terre). Michaela’s apartment is about a 20 min walk outside the centre of town, which might not suit everyone but we found the area really peaceful and it had beautiful views at the apartment and on the walk up. The apartment wasn’t massive but had everything we needed, and most importantly had air conditioning. Michaela was a wonderful and generous host- her daughter drove us from the station to the apartment when we arrived, they gave us some fruit they had grown and eggs, and offered us lifts from town in the evening if we wanted (we took up this offer once and appreciated it a lot). Michaela also booked a taxi for us on our last day to take us to the station. Overall, would definitely recommend staying here!
