Perfect Easter vacation

We had a great time for our Easter vacation. The appartment has a perfect location to explore the local sights like Portofino, Cinque Terre, Genova and hiking in the surrounding countryside. The view is marvellous!Our second week suffered from lots of rain but the appartement was always warm and cosy.Patrizia was a very nice host, answered all of our questions and provided us with good tips for local restaurants etc.

Nice unit, but a bit cramped for five adults, especially in the kitchen. View of the city and harbor is spectacular. The walk to the town center and back is doable and good exercise.

Great start to our Italian vacation

We had great time!! Saw portofino by water taxi. Hiked cinque Terre - harder than we thought but so worth it. Loved the town of rapallo for dinners. And fireworks were fantastic. Over an hour with view right outside our window. Would definitely come back.

Beautiful clean apartment with an incredible view of the gulf. Easy check in, Patrizia was very nice and accommodating. The parking spot allocated to the unit is a must since parking in town is impossible. I will definitely go back next year again. There’s everything you need, including a Bialetti machine that makes very good coffee. Thank you for the wonderful experience

Great view - and that’s about it.

The view is as advertised. Gorgeous. Other than that, not as advertised. Air conditioned? No, not really. Two portable units that if both are plugged in and you use other electrical appliances (dishwasher, laundry, etc) it blows the circuit and you have to go down 4 flights to reset the breaker. Very frustrating. Wifi? No, not really. Wifi service was so weak, we could not access the internet. Very frustrating. Co-host seemed untrusting as we were first accused of breaking the coffee pot when we reported it leaking (it leaked from the beginning) then she agreed it might have been filled incorrectly; accused of stealing a towel upon our departure then she later sent a note that she’d found it. Accused of breaking a chair that we found broken upon our arrival. She ended up charging us for it despite our protestations. I own two hotels. I understand linen theft and room damage. And, we had to supply our own toilet paper after their’s ran out after Day 1 of a 3-day stay. Very, very disappointing stay - the most disappointing being the phony description regarding a/c and wifi. If VRBO accepts such false advertising, we’ll be using other options in the future.This is an honest review to assist others before they sign up for this place. I’m a 73 yr old father who travelled with his 50+ yr old children and we were all disappointed with the overall experience. As mentioned at the top, the view was as advertised.

Very unpleasant review, nothing is true, we can happily say that our hosts are always satisfied, You asked so many times help to my cohost calling her at least 5 times per day during your stay, you wanted her to reserve taxis for all your movements for example. We are not a hotel, maybe this is your problem. Anyway the coffee machine was not leaking, my cohost checked with your wife, you just put too many water in it, and about the chair it was not broken before your arrival. I have pictures, we always make before and after as I wrote you. You refused to admit and threatened that you have denounced me to Vrbo this what you wrote me as I sent you the picture of the broken chair:” Barbara This chair was broken like that when we arrived. As well, your coffee pot leaked from Day 1. And lastly, we don’t appreciate being accused of stealing a towel. I find all of your accusations quite disturbing. We are a quiet and respectful Canadian family. We own two hotels, a Best Western and a Super 8. If any charges appear on my credit card, I will immediately take steps to contact Mastercard for a credit. I will also report your false accusations to VRBO.” An accident can happen, there is no reason to say that you are respectful and hotel owner, this is not a reason. As you complained about the coffee machine, the taxi, etc, you could have said about the chair. I again remind you the suspended ship is a home not an hotel, we give support (welcome mineral water, fresh fruit o focaccia and toilet paper) for arrival there is not daily cleaning or other service, it is a home, regards

" Über Palmen und Pininienbäumen "

Die Wohnung ist mit allem ausgestattet was man zum Leben benötigt. Ich habe noch nie ein solch sauberes Apartment gesehen !!!!!! Auch die Begrüßung und Einweisung waren toll :-) Die Aussicht ist fantastisch. Ganz ober auf dem Berg. Wenn man nicht mit dem eigenen Auto durch die enge Straße nach unten in den Ort Rapallo fahren möchte, wird 4 mal täglich ein kostenloser Shuttle angeboten. Asoluter Erholungsfaktor, und zu 100% Empfehlenswert. Steffen aus Berlin

Charmante Geschmackvoll eingerichtete Wohnung in bester Lage

Die Wohnung ist sehr geschmackvoll mit schönen, modernen und qualitativ höherwertige Möbel eingerichtet. Sie liegt in einem ruhigen abgeschotteten Komplex hoch über der Stadt mit sehr schöner Aussicht auf die Stadt, die Küste und das Meer. Der Shuttle in die Stadt erübrigt die Parkplatzsuche. Optimaler Standort für einen entspannten Urlaub und ein sehr gut geeigneter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge per Bahn und Schiff.
