About this house rental
CIN: IT010028C2SJRFMI72
Our villa is set between hills and sea and overlooks the small town of Cavi di Lavagna, where you can find bars, restaurants and shops. Along the coastline, at a few kilometres of distance between them, lie several small towns where the local seafood and natural products of the lush inland are served in the restaurant. Because of the privileged position of our villa, you can reach many interesting places in a short time. In the West, a gorgeous scenic road leads to Portofino, worldwide famous for its setting, its steep cliff high up above the sea. In the Mount of Portofino it’s worth visiting the beautiful San Fruttuoso - that can be reached by boat or trekking on its many paths - its medieval abbey and marine sanctuary, where you can go snorkelling and scuba diving.A few kilometers away, you’ll reach the enchanting Camogli, with its small fishing village, and Recco, internationally known for its “focaccia al formaggio”, a kind of cheese pie. A 30 kilometers you’ll find Genoa – its squares, churches, aquarium and old docks, il “Porto Antico”, are worth a visit as well as the little train that from Casella climbs on the mountain slopes of Appennino Ligure among scenic views. In the East, Sestri Levante will greet you with its charming “Baia del Silenzio”, a secluded bay. Cinque Terre are five villages high up above the sea, linked by footpaths, that can be reached also by train. You can cover the distance between them on foot, taking in the enchantment of every single village. Other places to see in the same area are Lerici and Portovenere.At 120 kilometers from our place li

This was a gem of a property in a town off of the main foreign tourist circuit, Cavi di Lavagna, but conveniently positioned for trips car or train (+ ferry) to other nearby sites, such as the Cinque Terre, Genova and Portofino. You could also easily transfer to other major centres, such as Florence or Milan, by train from the main station at the next stop over, Sestri Levante. For shoppers, the house also is only about 1.25 hours by car to the Serrevalle outlet mall. It was fun to be some of the only English speakers on the beach in Cavi and at the local restaurants - one of the young servers said that we were the first Canadians she had ever served. The local restaurants were very good, with excellent seafood dishes. Also, the views from the patio of the Ligurian seaside, particularly at moonlight, were as if they were from a painting. We found the bedrooms, each with an en-suite and air conditioning, to be comfortable. Vincenzo is a kind and gracious host and an absolute joy to deal with. Those with mobility issues will likely need to drive to and from town, as the property is up the hill from the town at the base; however, Liguria generally is quite vertical. We would love to return one day.

The home was spacious and clean with amazing views. It had an elevator that made bringing luggage up very easy. It was a short (10-15 min) walk down to the beach. Beautiful hot tub on the terrace overlooking the amazing views. The host was very kind.

Property is wonderful and well maintained. There are beautiful views from every level with lots of space and charming rooms. Linens were lovely and there is an ice maker in the fridge. Vincenzo is a pleasant and helpful host. We all very much enjoyed our stay. Area is great to explore many parts of Liguria.

We stayed here during the off-season in late Nov-early December time and were very happy with the location close to the Cavi beach and in 7 minutes drive (20 min walk down hill) to Sestri Levante and Lavagna where we had excellent dining experiences. Vincenzo was very supportive and always available as needed and we were able to dine in and eat out. We were allowed to park in the indoor garage. Even in wintry and rainy weather, the apt is cozy and highly recommended as a place to unwind and enjoy Ligurian experience. Dog friendly villa and neighbourhood. It was a 5 star experience

Great!

There were 8 of us for the first week and 4 for the second week. We had an amazing time both weeks!
There were 3 couples and 2 singles that shared a room. One of us uses a wheelchair, so we used the elevator. However, the shower in the accessible room is tight if you are completely immobile.
Vincenzo was a great host! He helped us set up a private chef one night that was fabulous! I’d love to go back!
We spent many days in Sestri Di Levante next to Cavi and it’s also where the grocery is. We highly recommend Il Bargenello pizza in Sestri and a visit to the accessible winery tour at Cantina Bisson.

Our host was extremely helpful answering all of our questions and giving us ideas of places to go. The Villa itself is very roomy for 4 couples. I would highly recommend staying here. Getting a bus to Sesti Laventa is easy to walk to. Then a train to the Cinque Terre area is very easy. We utilized the hot tub quite a bit.

We had 4 couples that rented the villa together and were all impressed and would definitely return. The villa and views were just as pictured. The host was amazing!!! I don't know if you would find a better host than Vincent. He lives on the property and was so helpful during our entire stay. He picked us up from the train station and made two trips to get all of us and our luggage to and from the villa. He also brought us the the grocery store so we could pick up groceries for the week. He coordinated an amazing chef to come to the villa for a cooking class/dinner experience which was wonderful.
The villa was spacious with an elevator to get to the various floors. We enjoyed evenings on the patio, in the hot tub and watching the sunset. We each had our own bedroom and bathrooms. Even though some showers were small, that wasn't an issue since we didn't have to share. When we booked this villa, we thought it was one of the Cinque Terre villages, but it is one of the outer ones between Portofino and the Cinque Terra villages. It was easy to get to all of them. Since the villa was higher up (spectacular views), it was a walk down the hill to get to the train that brought us to the various villages. We actually preferred staying in this village as it wasn't as over crowded with tourists, but just as beautiful. We LOVED IT.

We stayed at Vincenzo's villa in September 2023. Vincenzo is a wonderful host! He took our friends to the market when they arrived as my husband and I arrived a few days later. When we had to leave for Tuscany, Vincenzo was very helpful arranging our cars. The view from the villa is spectacular. It is super clean and well stocked with everything you need to prepare meals. The bedrooms are all beautiful; we fell asleep every night to the sound of the ocean. It doesn't get better than that!
Thank you Vincenzo, for everything!

This is our second time staying in Vincenzo’s home. The view cannot be beat. You will enjoy the attention to detail that makes a difference, from the ice maker, filtered water, plenty of pillows to the awning over the outdoor table. Upgrades have been made since last time like the kitchen has been redone, and every bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom. A very comfortable, enjoyable stay.

Loved the villa, bright, airy, great location. You could walk to the bus stop in 10 minutes or less, the beach, restaurants, shops all right there. Short walk to Sestri Levante. Vincent was very accommodating and helpful. We had a wonderful stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Vicenzo's house. The house itself is very comfortable with lots of space, but the best feature is definitely the deck that faces the water. We spent lots of time out there, soaking in the sun. It was a perfect spring vacation.
Vicenzo is a great host and was very responsive whenever we needed anything.
The location is perfect for day trips to places like Portofino, Santa Margherita, Cinque Terre, and Genoa.

I can’t say enough great things about this property. It was absolutely stunning and the location was perfect for our retreat to/from Cinque Terre. The views and sunsets, were spectacular. Nested on a quiet street, we had all the peace and quietness for great nights of relaxation. Located a short walk to the Cavi train station, we caught the train(45-50 minutes) into the five villages of Cinque Terre, daily. Property owner/manager Vincenzo, was very communicative and very helpful in getting us taxis, running us to the grocery store and to train station in Sestri Levante. He made sure we were comfortable, and had enough firewood to enjoy the fireplace. We would, without hesitation, stay here again and we would highly recommend.

This is a great villa with a great view of the Mediterranean. It is very beautiful. We went to sleep every night listening to the waves from the Mediterranean. The villa is in an excellent location with easy access to Cinque Terra, Portofino, and Genoa with reasonable drives to Pisa and Siena. It is a great villa with a great view in a great location.

We stayed at 3 places during our 2 week visit to Italy. This multi-leveled villa with spectacular views of the Ligurian Sea was the highlight. It is serviced by a unique elevator from the parking garage up to the main living room and the next level with 3 of the bedrooms.
This home was spotless with the best of kitchen and bathroom fixtures. Beds and linens were high end and exceptionally comfortable. The outdoor patios were perfect for sunbathing, dining and sipping Chianti while marvelling at the vistas. We used the gas BBQ one evening and it was just like home.
This was one of the best VRBO accommodations we have ever stayed in and I recommend booking early. You should arrange a boat trip along the coast to Portofino. Be sure to make a dinner reservation at Impronta d’acqua, a Michelin starred restaurant that will pick you up at the villa; their food and service were exceptional.

The sea views from this hillside villa are gorgeous, and we loved relaxing on the terraces. The house is located a short walk uphill from the adorable village of Cavi, which has a handful of great restaurants and beach clubs. The house itself was very clean and comfortable, perfect for our family. Cavi was a great base to explore the Ligurian coast - we loved visiting Camogli, Santa Margarita, Portofino, Chiavari, Sestri Levante. We also loved our days spent at the beach in Cavi.

Vincnezo is the perfect host. Greeted us on our arrival making "check in" a breeze. Wonderful space with incredible views! Plenty of room to accommodate up to 8 guests without ever feeling cramped for space in this 3 level home. Well equipped kitchen made sharing meals a pleasure. Wonderful quaint dining and shopping available within walking distance from this home down a series of stairs along the hillside. Easy travel up and down the coast via train from Sestri Levanti station located less than 10 min away. Visited Cinque Terre, Genoa, Portofino, Santa Margherita and Camogli with ease. Perfect relaxing way to explore the Italian Riviera!

Paradise in Cavi
This villa in Cavi with a seaview was a perfect stay to end our time in Italy. The house was spacious and the host was extremely helpful with activity suggestions, directions, and the check in process. We were able to park our rented van in the garage below. The sea views were spectacular and the day trips from Cavi were exceptional especially Cinque Terre. We all looked forward to time in the hot tub. 5 star review!

Fabulous!
A lovely experience all around! Incredible views, great central location to visit the Italian Riviera. Our host Vincenzo was warm and welcoming, very helpful re places to see and restaurants. Perfect home and will definitely return. The best experience we’ve had in any VRBO. We can’t wait to return and have already highly recommended it to our friends!

It doesn’t get better than this!!
Everything about this house was excellent. Vincenzo was a great host from prompt replies before our trip to being available for whatever we needed during the trip. He and his lovely family live downstairs in a separate unit but our house felt private. It was great having him so close.
The house was immaculate and well appointed. The room set up was great for our extended family of 7. Each bedroom had its own bathroom. Location was awesome. We could walk to the small town below us and to the beach. The private parking spot in the garage was something very welcome. And the elevator from the garage to the house made the trip just that much easier. The washing machine also came in handy and worked well.
And then there was the view and the hot tub. This kids lived in the hot tub. The grownups also enjoyed it while taking in the view with our glasses of wine. We made good use of the propane BBQ.
I would heartily recommend this beautiful house. Furniture and beds were comfortable. View and location was premier. Hospitality was top of the line.

Incredible view!
Perfect home for 2 families with young kids. Vincenzo had great recommendations for nearby restaurants and hikes! Great proximity for a day trip to Cinque Terre (less than 1 hour train ride). The kitchen is well- equipped with quality appliances and great for preparing family meals with a million dollar view! Our kids loved the hot tub. Highly recommend!

We booked the house for only 2 nights which was to short for this beautiful place. The view from the jacuzzi is amazing. The owner is really kind and lives near the house so the contact is easy. It is the perfect place to relax. We would like to come back once!

Great visit in Cavi
Vincenzo is a great host and his home is beautiful. Great location and view. Short walk to town and beach. Be aware that the owner lives right below the apartment so privacy is ok not great and the train runs all night long. Those things being said- we had a great vacation.

Stay in Sestri Levante
