Find ski-in/ski-out rentals near Spiaggetta di Prelo

Location was perfect for my adult son and myself. So easy for day trips and many places close for evenings. Would stay again.

This was a gem of a property in a town off of the main foreign tourist circuit, Cavi di Lavagna, but conveniently positioned for trips car or train (+ ferry) to other nearby sites, such as the Cinque Terre, Genova and Portofino. You could also easily transfer to other major centres, such as Florence or Milan, by train from the main station at the next stop over, Sestri Levante. For shoppers, the house also is only about 1.25 hours by car to the Serrevalle outlet mall. It was fun to be some of the only English speakers on the beach in Cavi and at the local restaurants - one of the young servers said that we were the first Canadians she had ever served. The local restaurants were very good, with excellent seafood dishes. Also, the views from the patio of the Ligurian seaside, particularly at moonlight, were as if they were from a painting. We found the bedrooms, each with an en-suite and air conditioning, to be comfortable. Vincenzo is a kind and gracious host and an absolute joy to deal with. Those with mobility issues will likely need to drive to and from town, as the property is up the hill from the town at the base; however, Liguria generally is quite vertical. We would love to return one day.

Everything about this flat was terrific, from the booking process, an immediate telephone consultation with the owner, Consuelo (at her suggestion), and terrific guidance closer to the date about where to collect keys, etc. And then the flat itself, which is spacious, remarkably clean and well appointed, and full of colourful, whimsical, and wonderfully practical design touches. We spent five nights, and every day we discovered additional, thoughtful design touches. Even the clothes hangars are interesting. The linens are excellent quality, the appliances all seem new, and one generally has the impression of a place the owner might choose to live in herself. Then there is Camogli itself, which is a beautifully situated jewel on the Ligurian coast. The town bustles with tourists but is not over-run. One can relax and stroll about without a sense of crowding. There are excellent restaurants (“Sa” was our favourite). The views from every vantage point are breathtaking, and none better than out the windows of this flat. The only drawback we can see is that there are some formidable stairs to climb to reach the flat. We are 65+, though, and managed to get up and down with our (somewhat excessive) luggage without a problem. We would go back and do it all again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Consuelo!
