We had a wonderful stay here with our two teenage children. The description and photographs are representing exactly the situation, so everything was according to our expectation. The owner, Christina, takes any extra step needed to ensure satisfied guests while at the same time ensuring the utmost privacy. The house is perfectly equipped and the fact that linen/ towels are included is very convenient. The price/ quality relation is excellent. Truly very recommended. Just one thing: parking in this region in August is virtually impossible so we chose to take the 10 minute walk to Sta Margherita as much as possible. It is a steep walk however, so one needs to be in a good enough physical condition.

Upon arrival we were greeted by the charming and lovely Bozzo family who immediately welcomed us in true italian style with warmth and generosity. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners Nico and Cristina Whilst they were very discreet, but they were there to offer excellent local advice and help, should we require The cottage is beautifully appointed with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable holiday. In our case we spent 17 wonderful days there (24 July - 10th August 2013) and wanted for nothing the entire time. It was immaculately clean and has the added bonus of being located in a private, gated domaine. The cottage being totally detached, is totally surrounded by garden and is very, very quiet indeed We slept and relaxed so well the entire time. Cristina provided a brand new barbecue, for our use, which was great to just sit, chill & relax in the lovely cottage garden rich with fruit & olives trees. Giving us the added option to barbecue the fantastic local produce! The beautiful views of the surrounding countryside are truly gorgeous, yet the cottage is located only 5 minutes walk from the main town of Santa Margherita Ligure. (SML) The beaches are around a 10 - 15 minute walk from the cottage There are also many restaurants and shops literally at the bottom of the road where the cottage is located. Which was a pleasant surprise! On our evening of arrival as we were starving and found that the restaurant, only a few minutes walk away, called La Madia, provided a delicious and reasonably priced dinner . In fact there is a path from behind the cottage leading straight up into the hills with amazing views over the Sea and local countryside and it is possible to walk right over to Portofino (this is a proper hike for serious walkers only) But like us, as the weather was really hot during our stay) you can walk for as little or as long as you wish and discover wonderful sights The local surrounding towns and villages have so much unspoilt, true Italian beauty & charm like Camogli, Chiavari, Sestri Levante, Paraggi and Portofino etc ….. But SML is also totally charming, with it's interesting boutiques, many, many delicious, reasonably priced restaurants, popular bars and is rich with charismatic Italian charm and atmosphere Thank you Cristina, Nico, Marco, Julia & Cara for everything. We had just the most wonderful holiday and will definitely return We highly recommend this truly lovely place in a heartbe
