From the moment Lucia picked us up in Rapallo and helped with the shopping, I knew this stay would be magical. She provided recommendations on things to see and how to catch the bus. We had a lovely evening making pizza and focaccia. Giulia and Guido we’re kind and it truly felt like a family dinner with great food! We saw beautiful sunrises from the balcony and enjoyed our morning coffee or evening wine from these seats. Don’t forget to walk up to San Lorenzo square and admire the beautiful church. Bus transport is inexpensive and convenient. We loved our holiday with Lucia and family.

Tout était vraiment très bien : accueil, communication avec Luccia, ses bons clnseils, ses bons repas partagés ! Emplacement idéal pour de multiples excursions...

Spotlessly clean house in a lovely location. It is tucked away from the hustle and bustle with easy access to some beautiful places.........Camogli, Portofino, Santa Margherita to name but a few. We had a wonderful time exploring by car, boat and on foot. Lucia, Giulia and Guido made us feel so welcome and are a lovely family.

Die Ausblicke von den Balkonen haben wir sehr genossen. Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und begleitet.

We arrived here for four nights at the tail end of two weeks in Italy. This home is at the very top of the hill so you have views in every direction. We loved sitting out on the tiny terrace off the kitchen watching the view and the neighborhood. Everyone was very friendly and there was always something to see. We had a little trouble with the Internet one night and the owners quickly arrived with a very nice bottle of chilled prosecco and two chilled glasses. We enjoyed that very much and no longer cared about the Internet. If you want the experience of living like a local, this is the place.

We had a great stay at Grandmothers House. There is AC in the bedrooms if you need it and you can close the outside shutters so it is nice and quiet and dark. A great place to explore Portofino and Cinque Terre. We walked into Santa Margherita Ligure which was a nice walk but I would recommend the bus on the way back as it is all up hill. We did the cooking class and dinner which was so good. Not only was the food excellent but having dinner with Lucia, Guila & Guido was so much fun. They are such nice genuine people. Duna the dog was friendly as well. We made the Ligurian pasta with pesto, green beans and potatoes, totally recommended!!

A wonderful place to stay when visiting the region. A good central location between Portofino and the Cinque Terre. The hosts were extremely helpful and supportive during the stay. I would recommend it highly .

This is a fantastic place to stay with spectacular views . The owners are lovely people that made our stay so special and will hopefully remain good friends. There are many places nearby to travel to ,we used the bus mostly even though we had a car . The cooking lesson and eating the home cooked food afterwards was an amazing night ( that should not be missed ) !!! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay , “ Grazie Mille “

Perfect base to explore Portofino, Sestri Levante, Cinque Terre for the automobilists. Quite distance to the coast without the car. 10-15 minutes by car on a mountan road. Nice apartment on the second floor with the fantastic view. Friendly owners always ready to help. Very much recommended for the large family or two couples.

When we arrived to Lucia's Grandmother's House, Lucia met us at our car and took us inside to show us around and she answered many questions. She was warm and helpful and we loved the apartment! The bed was wonderful; along with all of the windows and two balconies. The balcony off of the kitchen overlooked the most wonderful view of the Tigullio Gulf and the city of Santa Margherita. We cooked most of our meals in the wonderful kitchen and walked to the center of town by taking the path down the side of the hill. We rode the bus back to the apartment which was easy to do from the bus station in Santa Margherita. We had dinner at the Pizzeria just down from the apartment and it was great with reasonable prices. We would love to return someday and take the cooking classes provided by Lucia. She was delightful! Thank you for a wonderful time in your Grandmother's house. When we were planning our trip, we had originally thought about staying in Portofino and were so thankful that we had decided on this location. The road to Portofino was narrow and congested and we would have felt stranded in Portofino for the three days while in Ligure. We highly recommend staying at this apartment!

We stayed with Lucia, Guila Guido Duna and Moppi in August this year. What a lovely family they are, no my facebook friends! We had the best week ever there. Nothing was too much trouble for all the family, even picked us up and dropped us back at the train station. On the way from the train station Lucia even stopped at the supermarket so we could get some provisions, so thoughtful. We were shown around the apartment and everthing was explained so well. We enjoyed the village of San Lorenzo so much even joining in the festival which was on during the first few days we were there. The accommodation was lovely, clean and everything needed for a wonderful holiday. The views from the balcony on two sides is amazing especially at night. The walk down to Santa Margherita is a must do. The ease of access to the Cinque Terre is great. We had a lovely evening with the family overlooking the harbour from their backyard. We thoroughly recommend grandma's house for your stay in Ligure. Love to all.

This apartment truly is a "little paradise" tucked into the glorious,peaceful hills of Ligure.My sister and I had a wonderful stay here made all the more special by Lucia, Giulia,Angelo and Nonna! The really were the perfect family,so helpful and kind in every way and we could not have asked for more.The apartment is spacious,charming and very comfortable,we loved it so much.Dinner with family was such a lovely evening, scrumptious food all home made, which was mouth- watering and lots of lovely wine provided by the oh so handsome Guido! We loved the cinque terre and portofino and went everywhere by bus and train.No need for a car here.The walk down to Santa Margherita is exhilarating and so easy downhill (we got the bus back!)Everything you need for a great Italian experience is in this apartment and we cannot praise it highly enough.The views from both balconies are to die for,especially at night with all the lights twinkling in the bay below! Missing our new Italian friends and looking forward to visiting you again. Megan and Blanche x

We have rented many apartments in Italy, and this one was clearly one of the very best. Lucia's hospitality and helpfulness could not have been better. She had thought of every convenience, and we felt immediately at home. The views down to the sea were breathtaking. The location for exploring Cinque Terra, Genoa, and Portofino was ideal.

We had a wonderful week at Grandma’s apartment! It was perfect for the four of us old retired folks. The very spacious and well appointed bedrooms, living area and kitchen made it feel like home! The location was ideal for exploring the surrounding towns and scenic sights and being in the hills overlooking the Mediterranean was a big plus. We especially liked the garden area where we could relax in the evening with a good bottle of wine and some special Hors d’oeuvres (thank you so much for the peppers stuffed with anchovies, what a treat!…). But the highlight of our stay was the cooking lesson, because it was so much more than that. I had asked Lucia before we came if she could give us a cooking lesson. Lucia asked what we wanted to cook and we told her we’d like to try some mussels in a red sauce. We expected a short lesson on sauce preparation, steaming mussels and some tasting as we went along. What we got was totally unexpected. We came downstairs to Lucia’s home around 4 PM and were greeted by the entire family including their Aunt who was toting a three foot rolling pin! After meeting Lucia’s family (and Duna the dog) she showed us the fresh mussels she purchased…3 Kilos! This was getting interesting. Between the wine, the conversation and the laughing we managed to make Homemade Pasta, Stuffed Mussels, Bolognese Sauce and Steamed Mussels, sampling the offerings as we went along. We all had a fun and laughter filled dinner together, again, totally unexpected but very much appreciated. We came down for a simple cooking lesson and left four and one half hours later with a realization that we had just experienced a very special evening in Italy with a very special Italian family. Thank you Lucia, Giulia and Family for your hospitality, spontaneity and friendship. John, Barb, John and Sue

We've been in Lucia's house two weeks ago and I have to say that we had great feeling about everything. They took us like a part of the family, house was nice, walking to the beach great and we loved it. We travelled so many places, Santa Margherita Ligure is in good location which makes travelling easier. WE RECOMMEND THIS PLACE and are were very happy to be there! And also Lucia cooked us some great italian meals which tasted great ;-) Our children loved grandma, Julia and all the family were nice to them. There is also playground next to the house which is very good for the families with the children. Agan, we recommend this place big time! Thanks Lucia, Julia, Angelo and grandma for everything!!! "your friends from CZ"

Luciana welcomed us and treated us like we were long lost family. On 2 of our 5 nights there she even provided us with her delicious, home made Pesto sauce. The apartment is clean, comfortable, spacious and very well equipped. We loved the rear balcony overlooking the valley and mountains. We left our car at the apartment and used the very convenient bus system to explore the entire peninsula. On our wedding anniversary, Luciana suggested a restaurant that was only a five minute walk, Trattoria degli amici which served us with a fantastic meal. If we were to return we would stay here again.

Lucia,Alfredo, and Noni, What an incredibly tranquil and beautiful place you have here! All the comforts of home;well appointed kitchen,roomy and impeccably clean home with million dollar views of the Mediterranean and Dolomites.PLUS WIFI! Your lovely home is situated near the essentials-the bus stop, the small store and great restaurants, and yet high on the hilltop away from the Santa Margherita Ligure traffic and port noise below. You welcomed the three of us,my husband ,myself and my elderly father, like family and provided us with extra care and attention when we had car trouble. Even drove my husband down to TWO garagists as well as down to the beach the day the bus came late. We thank you for opening the doors to your "grandmother's home" and hope to return next year at this time. Admiration and appreciation from some very happy Texans, grazie mille, Kristy and Bruce
