We loved our time in Bonassola! The flat sits atop a hill (approx. 500 steps from the train station - I counted!) in a beautiful residential building surrounded by gardens and flowered hillside with a steep steeped pathway to town. The view was epic. It must be noted that the "private"terrace" is NOT PRIVATE AT ALL. It shares a low wall with the neighboring flat - no privacy whatsoever if the flat is occupied. We got lucky in that the neighboring flat was empty after the first night. The first night of our stay we had to close the doors to block out the cigarette smoke from our neighbors and put sheets up on the drying lines for privacy. Also, there is NO WIFI. The flat is lovely with most of the things a family of three needs for a 4 night stay. We cooked and did laundry easily. For two bedrooms there was just one fan in the heat of summer and the loveliness of the flat was marred a bit by the messy cleaning items stored out in the open on the stairwell to the front door of the flat and in the corner by the bathroom. The communication with our host via WhatsApp was good, friendly and responsive after we got over a initial tense late check in conversation - our host insisted we check in before 8 pm or we faced a 25 Euro fine. There is no mention of that in the listing. Not a great way to start our stay : ( Once we settling in, we enjoyed our time in the flat and LOVED our time in Bonassola!

Pros: The property had a great view in a rustic tiny village. Cons: Overall we enjoyed our stay but it's needs to be mentioned beforehand, that the rooftop terrace is not so private as is seems to be on the pictures .. actually half of the terrace is shared with the neighbour apartment next to it and its too close for each other and gives you very low pricey if both parties are outside ... Furniture is a bit run down outside etc.
