Holiday rentals near Santa Margherita Ligure Castle

We spent a lovely week in Sestri Levante, which is lovely with good shops, restaurants & beaches. It’s a prefect location to also visit Comigli, Rapallo, Portofino & the Cinque Terre. Some you can do as a boat trip, some by the excellent Italian train service which runs along the coast.Our hosts, Emanuela & Fabio were lovely, met us at the train station & then kindly gave us a tour around Sestri Levante so we knew what to see & where to go.The apartment itself was lovely, modern & very clean with a nice balcony. They had thought of everything that we could need. The hosts even let us have use of two bicycles during our stay, which was really handy for travelling around Sestri Levante, which also has lots of cycle lanes so as to avoid the traffic. Fabio even called when we asked about a bike pump & inflated the tyres for us.! The apartment is about a ten minute walk from the centre so not far but it was about 3 mins on the bicycles. We found the restaurants on the front were better than in the old town during our stay. There are some lovely bars/restaurants at the Bay of Silence, although quite pricey for drinks but you pay for where you are sat drinking them. The Spiaggia dei Ragazze is a free beach where you can take your own umbrella (we bought one from the supermarket for 14) which we found better than the price of hiring an umbrella & sunbeds. A great beach bar too hereOverall a great place & holiday & hosts.We will definitely visit again & stay at the same place.

Charming 1 bed apartment, beautifully furnished and well equipped. The host Nicola was extremely helpful - emailed information about Genoa before we left London, gave us many suggestions for restaurants etc and things to do. Location very central in historic centre, close to San Lorenzo Cathedral with lots of nice bars and restaurants nearby.would certainly use again if we revisit Genoa.

We stayed for a week in this beautiful apartment and everything was perfect. The location is amazing with a wonderful balcony overlooking Rapallo seafront and the castle - a lovely place to relax and watch the world go by. The lounge/kitchen area is open plan, bright and airy. The double bedroom was very comfortable and we slept incredibly well. The apartment is well equipped, close to local shops including bakeries, supermarket, chemist, as well as lovely restaurants and bars. Also just ten mins walk from the train station. We would definitely stay again if in the area and Michela was a charming and very helpful host.

Loads of space beautiful location with great sea view especially from the hot tub. Vincenzo was a great host and provided us with a very warm welcome Would stay here again

Lovely, stylish, well equipped holiday property. Flaminia had prepared a spread of breads, meats and other nibbles, which was an unexpected welcome after our drive from Milan. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was invaluable, as the weather was so hot and we enjoyed using the hot tub, bbq and even tried the pizza oven! A great stay was had by all!

The apartment was everything one could wish for (as above) & Paola was a charming hostess, helping whenever she could & providing us with an amazing starter pack of alimentari. Even in some bad weather we enjoyed some amazing displays of lightning over the sea at night. The only drawback we found was the small garage space available at the property but a bigger one is available nearby. Zoagli is a lovely small seaside village with enough facilities for a short break without a car ( there is a train service) but a car proved a real asset for our 10 day holiday. Andrew
