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

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.

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!
