A relaxing break
Astrid is the most friendly and helpful owner we have met. She made arrangements to meet us and help us to park, she insisted on carrying our luggage up the stairs (there are a lot!), she showed us around and left a bottle of wine with plenty of tourist information in English. On our departure, she arrived to help us load our car. She felt like a family friend - thank you Astrid.
The house is roomy - we only needed to use one half of it. We particularly liked stepping from our bedroom onto the rooftop terrace - lovely for breakfast and aperitifs! It is well equipped and Astrid had even thoughtfully provided soap in the two shower rooms.
Borghetto Santo Spirito is not an international tourist destination. It is a small resort for Italian families. The old town is still inhabited by local people and the shops reflect that. The house is very convenient for everything - the beach is a five minute walk, the shops are around the corner and will provide all that you need. Although you cannot park your car in the old town, it was never a problem as there are car parks and spaces within a few minutes walk.
Lots of nice places to visit by train or by car, especially Albenga and Noli.
A very relaxing stay!
