Lerici house with garden
The apartment was very nice, clean and comfortable. The owners provided lots of information to help us enjoy the area. The house is in a quiet, rural location, a 15 minute walk from the village and beach of San Terenzo. We walked to town down a narrow, ancient mule trail. The deck was lovely; we often ate our meals outside under the olive trees. Thank you very much for your hospitality.
La casa di Alice<
Ho passato quasi due settimane in pace e in armonia con la natura circondata da alberi di ulivo e canti delle cicale.
I giorni sono volati tra giornate al mare nella vicina Baia Blu e bellissime passeggiate al tramonto tra le strette viuzze e le tipiche scalinate a terrazza che caratterizzano la parte più antica del borgo ligure.
La casa è sulle colline di Lerici, su due piani, piccolina comoda e funzionale. A pianterreno cucina e bagno, al primo piano due camere con bagno e un magnifico terrazzo.
Antistante all'ingresso della casa, un grande spazio/patio in cotto con gazebo dove si possono trascorrere piacevoli momenti di relax, serate e cene, immersi nella fresca macchia mediterranea che scende giù e giù, fino al mare che fa capolino tra gli alberi.
Da appassionata di Giardinaggio mi sono presa cura delle piante di Alice e la ringrazio per avermelo permesso.
Grazie Alice, spero di tornare presto!

Super endroit typique et tranquille
Maison surprenante et sympathique très agréable à vivre , Proche à pied des plages
Location san terenzo
La maison est conforme à la description et aux photos cuisine équipée correctement pour cuisiner. Très belle terrasse ombragée avec petit barbecue
Maison bien située pour visiter porto vénère et les 5 terres en train ou en bateaux.
Concernant l accès à la plage à pied le chemin est relativement raide.
Alice est une personne très gentille et accueillante qui parle français et donne de bons conseils.
Région magnifique.
Glatter Reinfall
Wir waren so enttäuscht, dass wir 1 Woche früher zurück gereist sind, nicht nur dass die Einrichtung schon sehr abgewohnt und zusammengewürfelt war, waren alle Räume muffig und die Ecken schon lange nicht gereinigt . Es gab weder Kaffeemaschine, noch Wasserkocher noch Bettdecken. Im Küchenschrank roch es alt und sehr unappetitlich. Es gab keine zwei Schlafzimmer, dies war ein wichtiges Kriterium für unsere Wahl. Das Bad war ca 1,5 qm und das Klo ca 1 qm klein. Absolutes No go. Im sogenannten Wohnzimmer gab es keinen Tisch. Glücklicherweise war die Vermieterin noch 2 Tage anwesend so dass wir ihr das zeigen konnten und unsere Reise verkürzten. Ausgemacht war eine Rückzahlung, deren Überweisung abzuwarten bleibt. Lerici war total überfüllt, der Strand voller Menschen und der Ort klebte am Berg. Nie wieder. Eigentlich hat dieses Haus keinen Stern verdient
“Lerici was totally overcrowded, the seaside full of people and the place attached to the mountain. Never again.” It would be enough to judge the reliability of people who, unlike everyone else are not able to gather the Beauty the History, the memory of Literature in a pearl by the Mediterranan Sea, necessarily overcrowded for its attractions, particularly in August. Rather, the arbitrary description of the house where they had been received is surprising, differently: most guests like fornitures, also the ancient ones; About hospitality and cleanliness it takes a lot hours, even if the house is small. a list of fornitures is on this web page; it's illogical this complain about staffs that haven't been promised; the photos never lie about this kind of accomodation, if carefully observed; It's enough to ask, even if not due, everything possible for needs ( like a double bed cover in the children room); disapprovals and observations are welcome, it's a contribution for a better service; but baseless and defamatory protests are more a damage to possible guests than the sense of correctitude, dignity and honesty of the host.
“Lerici era totalmente sovraffollata, la spiaggia piena di gente e il posto attaccato alla montagna. Mai più.”
Basterebbe questo per valutare l’affidabilità di persone che a differenza del mondo intero non sanno cogliere la Bellezza, la Storia, i trascorsi letterari di una perla del Mediterraneo necessariamente affollata per le sue attrattive.
Invece sconcerta la descrizione arbitraria dell’abitazione in cui sono state accolte, mentre:
l’arredamento, dai più apprezzato, o considerato idoneo;
all’accoglienza sono riservate molte ore per la cura igienica della pur piccola casa;
l’attrezzatura è debitamente illustrata nella descrizione dell’abitazione, assurdo lamentarsi della mancanza di ciò che non viene promesso;
le fotografie della proposta (se vengono osservate) non mentono circa la tipologia dell’accoglienza;
solo a chiedere, anche se non dovuto, viene messo a disposizione tutto ciò di cui si possa avere comprensibile necessità (tipo i piumoni in agosto che denotano, una volta di più,la pretestuosità delle contestazioni).
Le critiche e le osservazioni non possono che essere accolte come un contributo al miglioramento del servizio, ma le contestazioni infondate sono più un danno per gli aspiranti ospiti che leggano, piuttosto che per il senso di correttezza, dignità, onestà di chi ospita.
Disappointing
We did not enjoy our stay at this house, to say the least. We, a small family of 5 (one baby, a young couple and father and mother) even left earlier during the week for a different accommodation. This had several reasons:
- The house is really small, situated at the back of a larger house (not part of the property). It has a decent terrace, but this borders directly to the - messy - terrace of the care taker, Alice, who lives in a similar house at the back of the larger house. This is not shown on the pictures. To say this is a villa is misleading.
- The care taker really kept an eye on us. Friendly or not, this is not what you expect on you holiday address. We got several notes left on our table outside saying we cannot do this, do that, pay attention to this - although she did not gave us a proper explanation on arrival. Really weird, she could also communicate to us directly.
- There are no views on the bay from the house, although this is advertised. The views which are shown are not visible because of olive trees. A lower natural terrace allows you views over the bay, but that is not part of the property.
- The rooms cannot be naturally cooled: because all windows and the house is faced south, it stayed 30+ degrees at night during our stay with fans on. Luckily the house has screens; there a lot of mosquitos during the evening hours.
- One bedroom is so small it hardly fits the two person bed, the other bedroom was dusty and had a pull-out couch that doubles as a - really uncomfortable - bed for two persons. Price / quality is poor, it does not sleep 5 persons comfortably.
- On top of this, one incident made us decide to leave directly: Alice notified us there was a wasp nest somewhere close to the house. She asked us if we were OK if someone would take care of the wasps with poison. That was OK, but as long as we were not there, because of the baby. We told her that during the day we would be on the beach, so that would be the right time. In stead, we were woken up in the morning around 7am by a man in a special suit (accompanied by Alice) spraying poison below our open bedroom window where the baby was also sleeping!
We packed our stuff the same day and left, really disappointing.
Anyone who decides to propose an accomodation to guests also from other countries would be hurt and disheartened by this comment And anyone in my place would be attempted to fuel the argument with personal reasons in answer to those words.
Unfortunately the negative review begin from a singular presupposition.
As it is clear, the house is suitable for a couple or a family (two adults and one-two children).
This “little family” came, and not expected (not in agreement), there were two young adults, two grand parents -clearly not young- and a baby; so disconforts due to overcrowding were predictable. And who feels this kind of inconvenience inevitably is inclined to identify and denounce thousand reasons of dissatisfaction. Simply in this situation people don't recognise their responsibility for the misunderstanding.
The house that I lease for short holidays is certainly not perfect: a small country house has positive aspects and limits due to its nature.
But anyone who lives hospitality, the stillness of this countryside with a calm spirit and in a so particular territory can pay specific attention to correct household chores and the short pleasant sojourn, also by different holiday opportunities in this county.
Therefore I will not answer all of those guests unfair remarks.
I would only recommend to read carefully my description and see the photos to possible guests.
Chi decide di destinare uno spazio abitativo a ospiti provenienti anche da luoghi lontani, leggendo il commento della famigliola non può che rimanerne ferito ed amareggiato. Quelle parole porterebbe chiunque ad alimentare la polemica ribattendo con le proprie ragioni, punto su punto.
Purtroppo la recensione negativa parte da un presupposto davvero singolare. Come è ben chiaro nella proposta pubblica, la casetta è adatta ad ospitare due soli adulti, con uno o al massimo due figlioletti. Presentandosi, fuori dagli accordi e non previste, due persone adulte e due nonni -ovviamente molto meno giovani- ed un bambino, i disagi dovuti al sovraffollamento sono prevedibili. E chi prova questo disagio inevitabilmente è portato, non volendo riconoscere a se stesso la responsabilità dell’equivoco, a individuare e denunciare mille motivi di insoddisfazione.
L’abitazione che offro in affitto temporaneo non è certamente perfetta: una casetta di campagna ha aspetti positivi e limitazioni dovute alla sua stessa natura. Ma chiunque usufruisca con animo sereno dell’ospitalità in un territorio unico al mondo e in una condizione di quiete agreste, non può che rivolgere la propria attenzione alla correttezza della sua conduzione ed alla gradevolezza della permanenza, arricchita dalle opportunità turistiche che il luogo consente.
Perciò non risponderò punto su punto alle ingiuste osservazioni (e scorrette) di quegli ospiti. Semplicemente pregherei, invece, chiunque volesse prendere in considerazione la permanenza nella mia casa, di leggere con attenzione la mia descrizione ed osservarne le foto disponibili.
