About this property

Ledner home is nestled in a hill located just above Rapallo. The town can be reached on foot in a few minutes.

It is an elegant apartment of 140 square meters, owned by the same family for three generations. Outside the apartment is a magnificent and large terrace facing west with views of Rapallo, the bay and the surrounding hills.

Our private garage for 1 car is available.

At this exceptional moment we are particularly happy to be able to offer our spacious terrace, which allows you to enjoy the beautiful spring, summer and autumn days lying in the sun, in the shade, or comfortably seated at the outside table under the pergola of the vineyard adjacent to the reading room. The robust WiFi connection also allows home office practice, both in the green exterior area and in the bright interior rooms. This is a great advantage in times of social distancing.

A view on Rapallo

Surreal the view over the city is breathtaking. If I must say anything… there ARE 3 1/2 flights of stairs to climb. But the view is well worth it.

Beautiful Views

This apartment fit perfectly into our trip to Italy. After our adventures during the day we were able to come back to a relaxing atmosphere. We spent the evenings sitting on the terrace under the grape vines drinking wine, eating cheese and pasta. The sunsets are spectacular with the lights of Rapallo below. Although the walk up to the house from town is a steep one, it's definitely worth it. Renting scooters is highly recommended, as it's a fun, inexpensive way to see the surrounding towns - as well as making it easy to get to the house. The owner, Silvio, was very helpful and easy to work with. The house was just as advertised, and if we go back to Rapallo, we would definitely stay here again! Nice place.

Great base for an extended stay

We decided on Rapallo as we wanted to stay in one place in Italy for one month. We were 2 couples with family/friends visiting so Casa Ledner was ideal with 3 bedrooms and plenty of space. Being walkers Casa Ledners' location made a great base (never mind the short walk uphill - think of the views) and with convenient access to the train and bus stations we could easily visit Cinque Terre and Tigullio Gulf villages. Buying local produce (and wine!) in the Rapallo market and shops, then enjoying our meals on the terrace overlooking Rapallo while the sun sets was a delight. Not forgetting aperitivos and meals in the numerous bars and restaurants. The owner, Silvio, made all arrangements and was very helpful and ensured our stay met expectations. As the property description says it has been owned by the same family for three generations - so don't expect everything to be brand new and modern - but that's the charm of Italy. (Check-out all the owners' grandfather's paintings on the walls - wonderful). Would we do it all again - definitely yes!

Dear Ray, I'm delighted to read that our family apartment in Rapallo fit thoroughly your expectations and the purpose of your journey to the Ligurian coast. I'm also very pleased on your appreciation of the character of Casa Ledner, which we value very much! Kindest regards, Silvio

WONDERFUL STAY

Great communication with owner prior to arrival.The information given to us regarding area, rental unit, directions and check in procedures were detailed and accurate. We had a group of 5 adult family members checking in, so we coordinated all of our different travel plans to arrive at 16:00. Tiziana met us at the unit, and gave us a thorough tour of of the unit and beautiful grounds. She shared with us information regarding local stores, restaurants, beaches and transportation portals. This information was extremely helpful throughout our 10 day stay. The unit was spacious and comfortable. 3 large bedrooms, 2 baths, and 2 large living areas. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of plates, cups and cooking utensils.The outdoor terraces were covered with plants, grape vines, and boasted beautiful views overlooking the town of Rapallo. With 5 adults sharing this unit, we could have used a few more towels, although we made due with washing several times to keep up with the shortage. The weather stayed in the mid 90's our entire stay, but we did ok staying cool with the 2 portable AC's. The unit is situated up on steep hill with a private drive, only available for small vehicles. Upon checking out, we arranged for our private car/driver to meet us at the bottom of the road, for it would have been difficult for larger vehicle to get up/down. We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful private unit. We would love to return and stay again. Thank you Silvio and Tiziana.

It has been a great pleasure welcoming you in our family apartment. We always hope that our distinguished guest may feel at home and enjoy their stay as much as we enjoy spending time in our place. The people helping us with the organization also take much care in preparing the rooms, showing the apartment and explaining the facilities. Regarding the Ligurian surroundings it is true that roads can sometimes be rather narrow, actually one of the charms of the region and its picturesque villages. We are happy to read that you found your solution to live this experience. Thank you very much for taking much care for our apartment, and we would love to host you again in the future.

Dear Christian, Thank you for having been our guest in our family apartment in Rapallo. We are surprised by the content of your review, with which we must respectfully disagree. Here is why: - On our listing the detailed house information, photographs and a video describe precisely every aspect of our apartment. This allows our distinguished guests to learn in advance of their booking, all about its features, content and unique position, overlooking the Rapallo bay. On this last point, we agree that, as described by the website and house description, in order to privilege of the unique view, a short drive or walk uphill is required. Despite this, in our past guests experience, the walk uphill was quite feasible by all at their own pace, and no specific claim about its accessibility was made. - The 2 bathrooms that you describe as "old-fashioned" are up to contemporary standards, as well as perfectly visible in the photo gallery. - Regarding the parking space: when you inquired about the parking space for your car prior to confirming your reservation, we sent you the exact measures of our private garage and we agreed that your car would fit. We recognize that we should have put more stress on the manoeuvre needed to park; however, in the end you were also able to park comfortably along our private road. - The kitchen is thoroughly equipped with all needed cooking accessories for a comfortable vacation stay. This is also well described by its pictures, and we have always been open to accommodate special needs if requested. Lastly, we would like to put emphasis on the fact that all our previous guests have been informed equally of these matters, and no one has had specific remarks. Indeed, the average rating has always been between 4 and 5 stars. We are very sorry you felt negatively about our property, and we trust you will concur on our detailed explanation for our disagreement. Christina and Silvio, the owners.

Light and spacious apartment

A light and airy apartment with amazing views over Rapallo from the terrace, and spectacularly from the living room. Agree with some of the reviews that we were using someone’s holiday home, so not a bland and pristine holiday let. There is a steep climb up from Rapallo, and also up the apartment steps from the road but doable even for a couple in their seventies! Loved Rapallo for it’s lively centre, and the recommendations in the guest book for restaurants and sourcing of fresh local food were spot on. We had some delicious fresh pasta suppers on the terrace accompanied by some excellent local wine. Rapallo is a great hub from which to reach lovely coastal towns and beaches by boat or by the excellent train service. And Genova is only half an hour away by train. Thank you Silvio and Christina
