Everything about our experience at this villa was perfect. The villa itself is breathtaking artistically, historically, and experientially. Frescoed walls and a marble staircase integrate with personal photos over decades of time, giving a sense of awe throughout the interior. Outside, the house sits at the top of a hill that overlooks the Ligurian sea and the village of Zoagli. A very short walk brings you to a store with all the basic groceries needed to be secluded in this idyllic space; alternatively, ambitious hikers can climb down to the village at the bottom of the mountain, or some great seaside beaches and towns are simple drives away. Silvia and Paolo are fantastic hosts -- they were immediately responsive to every question or need we had. The entire experience was like a wonderful dream!

Villa Bianca exceeded expectations in every way. The villa has an authentic charm and warmth that cannot be duplicated at a modern 5-star hotel. Don’t expect everything to work perfectly as the villa was built in 1888 and shows its age gracefully. If you are wondering what it would be like to actually live is a small village on the Italian Riviera this is the place for you. The views are amazing and the villa’s gardens are lovely. The neighborhood is very quiet. Zoagli is a sleepy little town without the insane crowds of Portofino and Cinque Terre. Those places are easily accessible for day trips but it was always a pleasure to return to the villa at the end of each day. Silvia and Paolo were extremely helpful in arranging meals and private boat transportation to Portofino. There is a tiny grocery store and wine shop a few doors up from the villa, Antica Bottega Barca, which was very helpful. The shop owners were very friendly and trusting as you would expect if you actually lived in this little neighborhood. Again, very authentic. There is a wonderful little restaurant, Il Tagliere Toscano, which was a short walk from the villa. It should be noted that this is a hilly area so be prepared for a steep walk back to the villa from Zoagli. Lastly, Paolo assisted in having a local chef come to the villa to prepare an excellent dinner for us. Overall it was an amazing experience and one of the highlights of our 3 week driving trip.

The view from the gazebo overlooking Portifino was spellbinding. The local general store 100 yards away, was classic. Not easy or cheap to get downtown for public transportation but otherwise a breathtaking villa!

Spectacular location and incredibly special home

Spectacular location and incredibly special home

This is a rare opportunity to spend time in a historical and well-loved family home. We felt transported to another existence entirely. Paolo and Silvia were fabulous and super helpful. They sent us to some wonderful regional restaurants. The town of Zoagli is great for going to the beach/swimming and has the best gelato. We would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you Silvia and Paolo.

Excellent experience. Exceptional views. Truly unique.

A beautiful villa in a peaceful location with incredible views! Paulo and Silvia couldn’t have been nicer. The villa and grounds were very unique. One of a kind. There’s a little store/coffee place very close by where you can get breakfast or sandwiches and sit outside enjoying the surroundings. There’s not a lot else you can walk to, but we did fine with taxi’s when we wanted to go explore. Great experience, exceeded our expectations, and we’d go back in a heartbeat!

Spektakuläre Aussicht von der Terrasse

Spektakuläre Aussicht von der Terrasse

Die Villa ist riesig und wir hatten mit 9 Personen sehr viel Platz. Die Terrasse mit der atemberaubenden Aussicht ist etwas vom Haus entfernt und lädt jederzeit zum Verweilen ein. Das ist das absolute Highligh! Ca. 100 Meter vom Haus kann man zu Fuss in einem kleinen Allerleiladen das Nötigste einkaufen. Auch frisches Brot am Morgen. Der Garten ist auch sehr schön. Leider waren praktisch alle Stühle am Esstisch draussen stark verwittert und defekt. Es hätten neue geliefert werden sollen, was nicht geschah. Zu unserem grossen Erstaunen erfuhren wir bei der Ankunft, dass der Pool (welchen wir ja auch mitgemietet hatten), am Sonntag für uns nicht verfügbar sei, dann hätten sie jeweils Eigenbedarf. Der Pool befindet sich nämlich im Hausteil unterhalb, welcher von der Vermieterin, Silvia bewohnt wird. Das ärgerte uns doch sehr! Wir dutften uns dann wenigstens einmal kurz abkühlen. Leider ist die wunderschöne Villa mit ganz viel Nippsachen, Souvenirs, Spielsachen und Büchern beladen. Alles in allem hat es uns trotzdem gut gefallen und wir konnten unsere Ferientage geniessen.

Quirky, homely, classically Italian, spacious family home. Located with a spectacular view of the bay and Portofino. Wonderful gardens, perfect for lunches, evening dinner or barbecues or simply relaxing. Convenient for local shop, bar and breakfast. We loved it and would recommend!

What a perfect vacation! The villa is wonderful - clean, spacious, well-stocked and full of character, art and music. The views from every window and from the beautiful garden were breathtaking - even nicer than the photos. The only problem with this villa is that it was hard to leave the place to go sightseeing, really :) Silvia and Paulo are great hosts - very helpful and easy to communicate with (both by e-mail beforehand, and after we arrived). All in all - this place is amazing. We were a family of ten, ages 1.5-70, and Villa Bianca had something for everyone. I cannot recommend it enough.

Beautiful home perched on a hill overlooking an amazing bay view

Beautiful home perched on a hill overlooking an amazing bay view

This is a home. Not one of those made up rental properties you often find which makes this place special. Across the bay from Portofino, the house commands an impressive spot overlooking the sparkling blue water sitting some 170-200 metres above sea level. The hosts are ver friendly, speak perfect English and are attentive yet discreet. We really enjoyed our family stay at Paolo and a Silvia’s ancestral home. Especially the terrass at the end of the property where we spent warm summer evenings playing board games with the kids (and enjoying a glass of Italian vino!)

Exceptional!

Villa Bianca is located high above the Mediterranean, with extraordinary views in three directions. One can pass the entire day watching the ships, birds, and water, admiring Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure, or catching a glimpse of Corsica. Because the house is at the end of a point, it’s also quiet. The gardens are peaceful and amazingly fragrant. The house itself is charming, with large rooms and fantastic frescoes on every ceiling. We slept on antique beds with new mattresses and hand ironed, lace trimmed linen sheets. The kitchen had everything we needed. We loved the marble sink and eating breakfast at the marble table. Lunch was al fresco and dinner in the grand dining room with sea views. The icing on the cake were our hosts, Silvia and Paulo. They were kind to us in countless ways. The most memorable was when I dropped my husband’s two week old phone off the terrace and down the cliff towards the sea. Silvia brought in a mountain climber who retrieved the phone! We also enjoyed the generosity of the family who owns the store and bar just down the street. Excellent wine choices, fine produce and delicious baked good are all offered. The apero is delicious too! If you are looking for gorgeous views and a comfortable home as you visit the Italian Riviera , you cannot do better than this unique site.

This Villa is a magically place. Family history, a gorgeous view, great hosts in a wonderful unspoiled village. This house is not for everyone. Charmingly quirky, a grand staircase to the bedrooms( all with glorious views, it is an old house- if you are looking for modern conveniences this is not for you. But if you love history & want to step back into time, this is the rental for you. 5 bedrooms, one with bath, two other bathrooms, fabulous dining room, quirky kitchen that is well equipped. Silivia & Paulo are very responsive & helpful. Recommed the villa highly.

Amazing views, lovely garden, unique villa everything we needed for our family catch up. Our grandsons enjoyed the pool and had great fun, plenty of alfresco dining and a relaxing glass of wine(or two) on the terrace with the fantastic panoramic views of the coastline to end each day. We were made most welcome in the village everyone so friendly and helpful. We enjoyed visiting the neighbouring resorts via the local train. A really enjoyable holiday was had by us, our children and grandchildren. Many thanks to Sylva & Paolo for all their help during our stay to make our holiday complete.Pauline & John & FamilyYorkshire, UK

Many many thanks to Paolo and Sylvia for our stay at their wonderful home. The villa was perfect for our group of 10 including 4 kids. The garden and terraces are spectacular and the house oozes charm and elegance. Special thanks to Paolo for bringing us dinner on the first night when we arrived, tired from driving down from the Alps. We would readily stay here again. Ash, NYC
