There were 8 of us for the first week and 4 for the second week. We had an amazing time both weeks! There were 3 couples and 2 singles that shared a room. One of us uses a wheelchair, so we used the elevator. However, the shower in the accessible room is tight if you are completely immobile. Vincenzo was a great host! He helped us set up a private chef one night that was fabulous! I’d love to go back! We spent many days in Sestri Di Levante next to Cavi and it’s also where the grocery is. We highly recommend Il Bargenello pizza in Sestri and a visit to the accessible winery tour at Cantina Bisson.

Our host was extremely helpful answering all of our questions and giving us ideas of places to go. The Villa itself is very roomy for 4 couples. I would highly recommend staying here. Getting a bus to Sesti Laventa is easy to walk to. Then a train to the Cinque Terre area is very easy. We utilized the hot tub quite a bit.

We had 4 couples that rented the villa together and were all impressed and would definitely return. The villa and views were just as pictured. The host was amazing!!! I don't know if you would find a better host than Vincent. He lives on the property and was so helpful during our entire stay. He picked us up from the train station and made two trips to get all of us and our luggage to and from the villa. He also brought us the the grocery store so we could pick up groceries for the week. He coordinated an amazing chef to come to the villa for a cooking class/dinner experience which was wonderful. The villa was spacious with an elevator to get to the various floors. We enjoyed evenings on the patio, in the hot tub and watching the sunset. We each had our own bedroom and bathrooms. Even though some showers were small, that wasn't an issue since we didn't have to share. When we booked this villa, we thought it was one of the Cinque Terre villages, but it is one of the outer ones between Portofino and the Cinque Terra villages. It was easy to get to all of them. Since the villa was higher up (spectacular views), it was a walk down the hill to get to the train that brought us to the various villages. We actually preferred staying in this village as it wasn't as over crowded with tourists, but just as beautiful. We LOVED IT.

We stayed at Vincenzo's villa in September 2023. Vincenzo is a wonderful host! He took our friends to the market when they arrived as my husband and I arrived a few days later. When we had to leave for Tuscany, Vincenzo was very helpful arranging our cars. The view from the villa is spectacular. It is super clean and well stocked with everything you need to prepare meals. The bedrooms are all beautiful; we fell asleep every night to the sound of the ocean. It doesn't get better than that! Thank you Vincenzo, for everything!

Loads of space beautiful location with great sea view especially from the hot tub. Vincenzo was a great host and provided us with a very warm welcome Would stay here again

This is our second time staying in Vincenzo’s home. The view cannot be beat. You will enjoy the attention to detail that makes a difference, from the ice maker, filtered water, plenty of pillows to the awning over the outdoor table. Upgrades have been made since last time like the kitchen has been redone, and every bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom. A very comfortable, enjoyable stay.

Loved the villa, bright, airy, great location. You could walk to the bus stop in 10 minutes or less, the beach, restaurants, shops all right there. Short walk to Sestri Levante. Vincent was very accommodating and helpful. We had a wonderful stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Vicenzo's house. The house itself is very comfortable with lots of space, but the best feature is definitely the deck that faces the water. We spent lots of time out there, soaking in the sun. It was a perfect spring vacation. Vicenzo is a great host and was very responsive whenever we needed anything. The location is perfect for day trips to places like Portofino, Santa Margherita, Cinque Terre, and Genoa.

Our second year of staying here—incomparable house, views, host. Already thinking of coming back next year—our happy place.

I can’t say enough great things about this property. It was absolutely stunning and the location was perfect for our retreat to/from Cinque Terre. The views and sunsets, were spectacular. Nested on a quiet street, we had all the peace and quietness for great nights of relaxation. Located a short walk to the Cavi train station, we caught the train(45-50 minutes) into the five villages of Cinque Terre, daily. Property owner/manager Vincenzo, was very communicative and very helpful in getting us taxis, running us to the grocery store and to train station in Sestri Levante. He made sure we were comfortable, and had enough firewood to enjoy the fireplace. We would, without hesitation, stay here again and we would highly recommend.

This is a great villa with a great view of the Mediterranean. It is very beautiful. We went to sleep every night listening to the waves from the Mediterranean. The villa is in an excellent location with easy access to Cinque Terra, Portofino, and Genoa with reasonable drives to Pisa and Siena. It is a great villa with a great view in a great location.

We stayed at 3 places during our 2 week visit to Italy. This multi-leveled villa with spectacular views of the Ligurian Sea was the highlight. It is serviced by a unique elevator from the parking garage up to the main living room and the next level with 3 of the bedrooms. This home was spotless with the best of kitchen and bathroom fixtures. Beds and linens were high end and exceptionally comfortable. The outdoor patios were perfect for sunbathing, dining and sipping Chianti while marvelling at the vistas. We used the gas BBQ one evening and it was just like home. This was one of the best VRBO accommodations we have ever stayed in and I recommend booking early. You should arrange a boat trip along the coast to Portofino. Be sure to make a dinner reservation at Impronta d’acqua, a Michelin starred restaurant that will pick you up at the villa; their food and service were exceptional.

The property is exactly as pictured, fully equipped and has beautiful views. Vincenzo, our host, goes above and beyond to ensure your stay is wonderful. I highly recommend this property!

The sea views from this hillside villa are gorgeous, and we loved relaxing on the terraces. The house is located a short walk uphill from the adorable village of Cavi, which has a handful of great restaurants and beach clubs. The house itself was very clean and comfortable, perfect for our family. Cavi was a great base to explore the Ligurian coast - we loved visiting Camogli, Santa Margarita, Portofino, Chiavari, Sestri Levante. We also loved our days spent at the beach in Cavi.

We couldn’t have asked for a nicer host or a more beautiful location. Vincenzo was personable, knowledgeable and very helpful. The property was clean, up-dated and spacious and was true to the photos and description provided. We loved Cavi di Lavagna, especially our stay in this Italian villa.

Vincnezo is the perfect host. Greeted us on our arrival making "check in" a breeze. Wonderful space with incredible views! Plenty of room to accommodate up to 8 guests without ever feeling cramped for space in this 3 level home. Well equipped kitchen made sharing meals a pleasure. Wonderful quaint dining and shopping available within walking distance from this home down a series of stairs along the hillside. Easy travel up and down the coast via train from Sestri Levanti station located less than 10 min away. Visited Cinque Terre, Genoa, Portofino, Santa Margherita and Camogli with ease. Perfect relaxing way to explore the Italian Riviera!

This villa in Cavi with a seaview was a perfect stay to end our time in Italy. The house was spacious and the host was extremely helpful with activity suggestions, directions, and the check in process. We were able to park our rented van in the garage below. The sea views were spectacular and the day trips from Cavi were exceptional especially Cinque Terre. We all looked forward to time in the hot tub. 5 star review!

A lovely experience all around! Incredible views, great central location to visit the Italian Riviera. Our host Vincenzo was warm and welcoming, very helpful re places to see and restaurants. Perfect home and will definitely return. The best experience we’ve had in any VRBO. We can’t wait to return and have already highly recommended it to our friends!

Everything about this house was excellent. Vincenzo was a great host from prompt replies before our trip to being available for whatever we needed during the trip. He and his lovely family live downstairs in a separate unit but our house felt private. It was great having him so close. The house was immaculate and well appointed. The room set up was great for our extended family of 7. Each bedroom had its own bathroom. Location was awesome. We could walk to the small town below us and to the beach. The private parking spot in the garage was something very welcome. And the elevator from the garage to the house made the trip just that much easier. The washing machine also came in handy and worked well. And then there was the view and the hot tub. This kids lived in the hot tub. The grownups also enjoyed it while taking in the view with our glasses of wine. We made good use of the propane BBQ. I would heartily recommend this beautiful house. Furniture and beds were comfortable. View and location was premier. Hospitality was top of the line.

Perfect home for 2 families with young kids. Vincenzo had great recommendations for nearby restaurants and hikes! Great proximity for a day trip to Cinque Terre (less than 1 hour train ride). The kitchen is well- equipped with quality appliances and great for preparing family meals with a million dollar view! Our kids loved the hot tub. Highly recommend!

We booked the house for only 2 nights which was to short for this beautiful place. The view from the jacuzzi is amazing. The owner is really kind and lives near the house so the contact is easy. It is the perfect place to relax. We would like to come back once!

Just great, host, clean, VIEW! Very nice, we'll be back

absolutely fantastic

The windows all have fly screens which is a huge bonus and we loved the jacuzzi and the fridge with the ice machine!! Vincenzo is a charming host who is kind, helpful and friendly. We had a fantastic time here and will always remember it! Thank you Vincenzo

Vincenzo is a great host and his home is beautiful. Great location and view. Short walk to town and beach. Be aware that the owner lives right below the apartment so privacy is ok not great and the train runs all night long. Those things being said- we had a great vacation.

Great property - just as described in the listing. Location was perfect and house was well appointed. Vincenzo was a wonderful host and looked after all of our needs. Would highly recommend!
