La Spezia rentals with pool

This is the second time we have stayed at Gianluca’s and it was lovely once again. The apartment has everything you could want, it was spotlessly clean, well equipped, spacious and has superb views of the Lerici harbour from the living room and all the garden terraces. The apartment is surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens set on different levels and with beautiful views all around. The apartment has lots of design points of beauty; hand painted antique floor tiles, paintings and artefacts from around the world. Gianluca and his family are wonderful hosts. They are welcoming and work so hard to ensure you enjoy your stay. Gianluca is also an excellent chef and will prepare you a three or four course meal using local produce at a cost that is not much different to local restaurants and yet you have a chef preparing a bespoke menu and a private dining area so you can eat and drink good wine overlooking the wonderful views as the sun sets. There is a free bus that stops very near the apartment to take you to Lerici (it runs mornings and after 4pm). This is very handy if you don’t want to walk back up to the apartment from Lerici after lunch. You can also walk to San Terenzo which takes about 30 minutes and then you can walk the bay of poets back to Lerici harbour. We really love this place and will return as there is so much to do and see but mostly because we love the apartment, the garden and we think the hosts are excellent.

Beautiful spacious and exceptionally well equipped house. Quiet and private location. Quiet narrow and hilly roads but easy to access good supermarkets 5km away with car.

Amazing views, beautifully clean villa, fantastic pool and perfect for a family holiday.

If you're looking for a simple place to stay this place is wonderful. 4km from the main road in amongst the hills of Tuscany. The villa is clean and simple. The owners were very helpful. The room was spotlessly clean and the bed comfortable. The bathroom very clean and new. We lacked a kettle or large mugs in the kitchen but boiled water in a pan and had brought some plastic cups with us as we are avid tea drinkers but tea is not so readily found here. I am sure had we asked the owners for help here they would have obliged. The pool was clean and refreshing. It would have been good to have some information on the local walks in the room but we managed to work out where to go and walked up and down hills to get to nearby villages. Note many restaurants in the hills don't take cards and Google translate was our friend! The owners dog was a delight even coming for a walk with us on the first day. We are in most evenings cooking simple Tuscan food and enjoying it and wine overlooking the sunset. The owners were very helpful and found us a fan as it was hot at nights. It was a delightful place to stay and incredibly relaxing.
