Both the location and house are first class.
This is an old historic house located on the ground floor of the Villa,

Attention:
The Villa is the ground floor of a 4 story historic home that has been divided in 4 Villas, one per floor. Ours has the ground floor with private terrace and all entrances are very private.
The villa has a gorgeous path surrounded by grapes, orange trees and flowers that leads to the beach. Also a shared Pool with the other Villas located in the property!!

Keep in mind that the path to the beach is a steep hill and it has steps and dirt pathways. It's not suited for people with disabilities. The road to the villa is narrow and curvy, best for compact cars.

We would give villa Ucelli 100/10. It was the most beautiful location!! The owner Franco was delightful, and the property manager Nikola was extremely friendly and helpful. The location is absolutely stunning. Walking distance to Paraggi beach, Portofino, and Santa Margherita. The public bus is located just down the hill for easy riding to Santa Margherita & Portofino. Amazing location. restaurants, people, beaches - absolutely loved it!!

The Villa was very charming and incredibly well situated. The beach was the nicest in the area and it was a very quick bus ride into Portofino or Santa Margherita. The kitchen was small and there is no A/C, but the charm of the property, location, and size all made up for it. A very enjoyable experience overall for my family and friends.

It was a lifetime experience. The property was beautiful, location gorgeous. Close proximity to many towns and cities. Roads and driveway challenging, but worth every minute. We were surprised that the other villas were the other floors of the property, so startled when we realized we were not alone. All worked out well.

La Dolce Vita is an exceptional property on the Portofino peninsula. Note: it's more accurately named Casa Bianca, after the noted Milanese architect Carlo Bianca who designed it in the early 20th C for the family who still owns it today (this from a generously informative document provided by the entrance). Casa Bianca is an interesting double entendre, since it is a "casa bianca" (WHITE house), unlike most in the area. I guess La Dolce Vita is its VRBO "stage name". The villa is isolated from the glitz of Portofino and bustle of Santa Margherita and Rapallo, but conveniently accessible to all (Portofino by walking -- though challenging for the 82 yr old in our group -- and all by the frequent and very accessible #82 bus) as well as to the excellent beach at Paraggi. FYI, the 'town' of Paraggi is no more than a beach, a couple of restaurants and hotels and one (ONE) shop that sells beach essentials. No bodegas, no real provisioning like that easily found along the lanes running back from Santa Margherita's waterfront. La Dolce Vita is stunning and architecturally distinct from those in the area -- more like one might expect to find in Amalfi, with decidedly pan-Mediterranean features. The beds and baths are comfortable and well-appointed. However the kitchen could use some updates. It's a classically tiny Italian household kitchen, but it functioned well enough -- as such kitchens always have for Italian families -- for our small group. Given the idiosyncratic floor plan built around the hexagonal soggiorno, kitchen expansion would be challenging, but a modern stove would be start. The loggia and graveled terrace areas were a great pleasure for sunning and meals, with sparkling sunrises, views of gin palaces floating out on the cove and a tremendous fireworks display the first night (just for us, obviously :-). Wildlife sightings included wild boar (cinghiale) in the area. We didn't use the pool but might have had the season been hotter. Olga was a very welcoming and informative property manager, full of information and good cheer. (Thank you, Olga) La Dolce Vita in Paraggi is a great spot, for its location, condition, hosting and architectural significance. We would certainly (and might well) return for another visit.

The villa and location were exceptional. the space was ideal for 6 adults and 3 children/grandchildren. We were there recently and though the temperatures were slightly higher than normal, the easy access to the beach (sandy) the pool at the villa and the sea breezes were delightful. Portofino was easily reached by foot and a great time was had by all.

This was our second time returning to Villa Ucelli & it somehow managed to top last year's trip. It is easily the best kept secret on the Italian Coast & needless to say we will be returning in July again next year. Our hosts were also extremely hospitable, even going as far as arranging restaurant bookings & catering whilst we were at the villa. They also helped make arrangements for us to hire a boat for the day from one of their friends.

I recently stayed here with a group of friends (10 total) and for such a large group we still felt that the home was extremely spacious. The villa is beautiful and has stunning views of the Paraggi bay. Our favorite part was the outdoor dining area and lounge chairs where you could relax after a day of sight seeing. If you do not have a rental car/Vespa it is a bit of a walk uphill or stairs to the villa but we did not mind at all. It was extremely easy to get to Portofino or Santa Margherita as the bus was just at the bottom of the hill. Overall, highly recommend!

We recently stayed here with our young family (2 x toddlers & 1 infant) & absolutely loved the villa/pool - it was extremely spacious & in a fantastic location. The villa itself was very clean & well maintained. Our kids loved the beach at Paraggi (down the hill & across the road) & we enjoyed being situated between Santa Margherita Ligure & Portofino. We will absolutely be back to stay at Villa Ucelli. Lastly, Cristina & Mik were very pleasant to deal with.

Such a perfect place to stay. So beautiful and with such character. A beautiful walk to Portofino and the bus ride to Santa Margharita and Repallo was easy. The communication was great and we received assistance very quickly when we needed it.

Couldn't have been more perfect place to stay. Great location right above a beautiful beach, 2 minute walk to bus going to Portofino or Santa Margherita. It was spacious, relaxing, clean, well appointed and so homey. The owner and property manager were incredibly helpful and easy to reach. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
