We visit family in Chiavari/San Salvatore every year and over time, have stayed in a variety of accommodation types and standards, in various different locations. Some have been in excellent locations but with questionable standards whereas others have had excellent facilities but the location has been problematic. I can honestly say that Oltremale Soul Houses ticked every box. The location is perfect, right on the beach, very close to some excellent restaurants and a very short walk into the centre of Chiavari. The facilities and standards are exceptional. The property has been wonderfully renovated throughout, including a very modern kitchen with everything you need. There is a plentiful supply of breakfast items including ham, cheese, eggs, yoghurt, pastries and cereal bars as well as milk, fruit juice, tea bags and a coffee machine. Everything has been considered, there are even fold away sun loungers and a kayak to take to the beach and a parking permit which allows free parking along the seafront. The property owners, Silvana and Davide met us on arrival. They are lovely and very approachable, making it clear that they would do everything they could to ensure our stay in Chiavari was enjoyable and that they would be on hand throughout our stay, should we need them. There was a problem with the air-conditioning during our stay, but this was in no way the fault of Silvana or Davide. Their communication on the issue prior to arrival was first class and they were good enough to put two fans in each room, in order to make it comfortable. We would have had no hesitation giving a score of 10/10 for the accommodation, had it not been for the Aircon issue and we will definitely look to stay again when we visit next year (if you'll have us) 😁 Thank you both for your wonderful hospitality 💞

The property was perfect for our needs - the only issue was the Aircon not working during our stay (this has now been fixed) but we still had a wonderful time with family in Chiavari 😎

Super staff, super clean room in an historic building. Great location to train and downtown by walking. You can tell the owner cares about their guests comfort. Fridge is stocked with basics you need on arrival. Town itself is great. Not overtouristed but just enough of what you need. Local people actually live here.

The room has issues from the noise on the side of the street. Motorbikes day and night. This is not the fault of the owner but had I been aware of this I would not have booked. I realize in a small city you will have some noise but this was excessive especially on the weekend.

It is a place where you can relax. The apartment is 2min away from the beach. The host is wonderful! *****

Beautiful facility with 3 separate en-suite rooms to rent across from the beach in Chiavari, Italy. Beautifully appointed rooms in well maintained building just off the street. Clean, comfortable rooms with welcoming common area and abundant free snacks and water. Large refrigerator in shared kitchen, small refrigerator in room. Parking arranged at small public lot across the street at no charge.

For some reason was difficult to find on Google maps. Assure you have right address.

The house was clean and beautifully decorate. The couple who run the place are really kind and make one feel like at home. The beach is literally crossing the street and there are plenty of restaurants within distance walk.

The check-in and check-out times. The check-in is relative late 17:00 and the check-out a bit early 9:00.

The hospitality was above and beyond our expectations, and the location was perfect. We also appreciated the structure itself, its charm and the artwork displayed.

Nothing. Everything was lovely.

The house is very well taken care of, people maintaining it are super friendly and are going out of their way to make your stay comfortable. The location is wonderful: you’re looking at the sea, nice restaurants and the old city are close by. The (shared) kitchen is well-equipped, there are Sun beds and everything you need. ‘Soul’ houses is an appropriate name: it gives you the rest and recharging you would expect from a perfect holiday

We didn’t mind that, but (1) keep in mind that the beach nearby is rocky (sand beach is within a 15min drive though) (2) it’s a bnb and it can get a bit ‘crowded’ in the kitchen/living room, but we managed to make new friends and have good social contacts with people in the two other apartments.

The place is incredible! A wonderful high-ceiling house renovated with a perfect taste! The sea is just across a small road: you can see it from the living room. Amazing and welcoming hosts: Silvana, Valentina and the girls made us very welcome and they were very supportive during our stay! The room and kitchen were always incredibly clean. One can eat out or cook—everything is there at your disposal, including remarkable coffee and spices. Several good restaurant are just 2 min away: e.g. De Felici and Yugo. The town is close to Cinque Terre but less crowded—perfect to reach everything you need in a short time-frame and get to swim in a non-crowded beach. Highly recommend! We will be back again!
