Beautiful apartment within walking distance of the center and boulevard.

Beautiful apartment within walking distance of the center and boulevard.

We had a great time in Rapallo, and staying in this apartment was just wonderful. Everything was very well organized. Our favorite place was the main terrace. What a view - and what a beautiful garden! We had many lovely meals in the nice living room, and enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere in the apartment The appartement worked very well for our family. The only challenge was that my husband had rented a too big car. We could use the garage, but there was not much space left. The placement of the appartement suited our plans well. We had short way to both supermarked, bus, trains and we got to see a lot of the area. We had a great holiday week, and would love to come back. Vivian, Oslo

Lovely Italian family apartement with a great terrace

This is a bright spacious historic apartment which is a joy to return to after a day walking the Ligurian coast. The large living room with beautiful paintings is luminous, three double bedrooms are ample, bathrooms good, everything very clean. The back bedroom is superbly dark and quiet, and we slept very well there; a minor problem with the others is a small chink in the (old-fashioned but lovely) shutters which let in too much light but this can easily be fixed I'm sure. Only other minor quibble is that most of the pillows were very hard! The owners are a pleasure to deal with: polite, helpful, straightforward, understanding, speak excellent English, as elegant in manners as their apartment! We benefitted from the location which is a 7 minute walk (much of it steep uphill but do-able) from the centre of town and 10 minutes from the rail station. We really liked not needing a car, we walked to nearby Santa Margherita and otherwise took the local train, very frequent and cheap, runs late into the evening, to Camogli, Sestri Levante, Genoa etc. All the towns are lovely but each is different and worth a visit. All in all we had a lovely holiday, thank you Christina and Silvio.

The apartment in Rapallo is perfectly situated up in the hills a short walk from the downtown area. It is in a gorgeous area and very quiet. The walk from downtown is not far but it could be challenging for anybody with some mobility problems. The apartment is large, bright with large windows and very clean. The garden where you can have breakfast, lunch or dinner is remarkably beautiful. I think it must be one of the finest gardens in Rapallo. Rapallo is a beautiful Italian town that is not overwhelmed by tourists. It is a great central point to stay in Italy and easy to travel by train to so many beautiful places. We found a couple of public beaches were we loved swimming. We loved Rapallo and loved the apartment.

We have just returned from two weeks in Rapallo staying at Silvio and Christina’s apartment. It was one of our best ever holidays. The apartment is as shown in the photos and is very spacious. Mind you, when we were there we spent most of our time on the terrace under the luscious grape vine enjoying the breeze (when we had some!) and the peace and the view. The terrace/garden is on two levels and there are three sun beds although the terrace is never all in full sun as there is plenty of shade. The garden has lots of ferns and succulents and Silvio has an automatic sprinkling system that works over night to keep the garden looking green. The apartment feels like a home. The kitchen has lots of handy gadgets and there are bits and pieces such as flour, oil, coffee bags which are useful. Yes it's not all mod cons (no dishwasher, no air con and the Wifi signal isn't great) but the apartment has plenty of character. As you can see from the photos, the apartment is up a steep hill but it keeps you fit and the views are worth it. We really liked Rapallo. It is an ideal place to be based in this area as there are buses, trains and boats taking you to nearby towns, beaches and to Genova so there is lots to do. There are also lots of guidebooks and leaflets in the house giving useful information. A must is to take a boat trip to Portofino which we found to be less touristy than we’d imagined. We also enjoyed going to Zoagli, Santa Marguerita and other bays along the coast. It is well worth going up the cable car in Rapallo. You gain height very quickly and there are spectacular views over the bay. There are also two restaurants and a bar at the top and some lovely walks - you can come down on a well-marked path although we took the easy option down! We didn't do a lot of sitting on beaches but there are plenty of free ones to choose from. We liked the Castle Beach and had a swim there as part of our morning routine (supermarket, café and then a swim before the young people of the house had surfaced!). All in all this was a very successful holiday for us - even our children, now 19 and 21 - were pleased they'd come with us! Thank you Silvio and Christina for allowing us to stay in your house - I'm sorry we didn't get to meet you. And thank you also to Tiziana for showing us around at the start and for being nearby in case we needed you. The Earnshaws

The apartment is very nice, and everything is in good order. The welcome was very nice from the lady who gave us the key, and a lot of good information about the apartment and Rapallo. The outside places is very nice and useful.

Spacious bright apartment with superb balcony areas. Kitchen small if you are wishing to cook in. 10 min uphill walk from city centre to the apartment, set in lovely quiet residential area. Very convenient base for visiting Portofino and Santa Marguerita

We stayed in the apartment for 1 week. The apartment was actually nicer and bigger than the photos showed us, so it was better than we expected. When we arrived, they met us in the apartment and gave us a tour on how everything worked and other things we needed to know. It was also very clean and we felt very welcomed. Overall we had a really nice stay. The Landlord was very professional during the process. It was an easy rent and quick return of the deposit. I will totally recommend this apartment to other who are considering a holiday in Rapallo.

We decided on Rapallo as we wanted to stay in one place in Italy for one month. We were 2 couples with family/friends visiting so Casa Ledner was ideal with 3 bedrooms and plenty of space. Being walkers Casa Ledners' location made a great base (never mind the short walk uphill - think of the views) and with convenient access to the train and bus stations we could easily visit Cinque Terre and Tigullio Gulf villages. Buying local produce (and wine!) in the Rapallo market and shops, then enjoying our meals on the terrace overlooking Rapallo while the sun sets was a delight. Not forgetting aperitivos and meals in the numerous bars and restaurants. The owner, Silvio, made all arrangements and was very helpful and ensured our stay met expectations. As the property description says it has been owned by the same family for three generations - so don't expect everything to be brand new and modern - but that's the charm of Italy. (Check-out all the owners' grandfather's paintings on the walls - wonderful). Would we do it all again - definitely yes!

The appartement is really beautiful, and also very peaceful. Everything was like announced in the description and perfectly clean. Rooms are large and two of them have a tremendous view. The terrasse is full of flowers and trees. Very useful is the parking next the appartement and we have been very well welcomed by Tiziana. The city of Rapallo is both beautiful and lively and the sea is just magnificent and a very convenient place to dicover the ligurian coast and the Cinque Terre.

Listening description was accurated regarding Location, layout, facilities etc. The property was very clean and very well-maintained. The owner (Manager) provided very good customer Service. We would recommend this property to our friends or relatives very well.

This apartment fit perfectly into our trip to Italy. After our adventures during the day we were able to come back to a relaxing atmosphere. We spent the evenings sitting on the terrace under the grape vines drinking wine, eating cheese and pasta. The sunsets are spectacular with the lights of Rapallo below. Although the walk up to the house from town is a steep one, it's definitely worth it. Renting scooters is highly recommended, as it's a fun, inexpensive way to see the surrounding towns - as well as making it easy to get to the house. The owner, Silvio, was very helpful and easy to work with. The house was just as advertised, and if we go back to Rapallo, we would definitely stay here again! Nice place.
