Large, comfortable, quiet apartment with amazing views
This was our first time visiting Lerici and the Golfo dei Poeti. We really enjoyed it and if you are thinking of coming here, I definitely recommend this apartment. The apartment is on the top floor of the building but there is a lift. The views from the large balcony are amazing. We sat out there and enjoyed our breakfast and the view each morning. All the essentials you need are provided and the building is very conveniently situated for the town which is a less than 10 min walk down hill. Up hill on the way back of course. It is also usually possible to park outside the building which is a bonus. There are two smallish supermarkets in the town down the hill which can provide most of the essentials. There is also a larger one in San Terenzo, about a seven minute drive away. My only slight gripe is that we both found the beds a little uncomfortable. Although we really enjoyed our stay, neither of us slept that well. There is very little noise though. Our contact for the visit, Chiàra was lovely, patient and helpful.

Fabulous apartment, beautiful place
We had a wonderful week in Lerici and this spacious apartment is brilliantly located to reach all the restaurants, beaches and shops. Chiara, her friend and family could not have been more helpful or friendly. When my luggage was left in London and my husband realised he'd forgotten to pack his charger, Chiara and her friend drove to the next town to buy substitutes and flatly refused to take payment! They also spent ages trying to locate English TV channels after someone had used a play station and messed reception up. This was all on a Sunday afternoon which was so kind. We hadn't realised there was no wifi in the flat but with data this was not a problem and forced us to take a proper break from devices. Lerici is utterly lovely and we never got tired of the view from the balcony. It was hot but the aircon ensured we slept well in the comfortable beds.We will definitely return to this wonderful part of Italy again and thank Chiara for making our stay so very enjoyable.

Real Italian Living!
Right from booking to being met by Chiara and her father, visiting Lerici and the apartment was a good experience. We came to where the flat was located by car from Bologna Airport. Chiara contacted us in advance and her Father was waiting to greet us, very thoughtful. We we're charmed by the flat, typical older style, high ceilings, great balcony with fabulous views of Lerici Castle and the boats in the harbour in the distance. The flat was huge for two people clean, fresh and everything worked perfectly. In a safe location with access to an excellent small nearby supermarket. We were given a private parking space off the road in a secure location less than two minutes away. The town centre and harbour were only a few minutes walk away where access to the trips and tours start from. There was a small amount of traffic sounds at night but we only noticed it because we come from a very quiet home and not used to any sounds at all. We would highly recommend Chiara's facilities as good value for money especially as the bed was really comfortable, bed linen and towels fresh and new and the layout of the flat worked perfectly. A great adventure finding the best restaurants, beaches, gelati & local markets. Check out was great especially as we left at seven in the morning! We felt really at home, a lovely stay.

Le voci sul carattere genovese sono giuste.
Al arrivo abbiamo trovato il fratello della proprietaria che ci ha fatto vedere la casa, molto gentile. L'appartamento non è nulla di chè, mobili tutti diversi tra loro in tutta casa...oookey. La cucina è veramente molto datata, mi chiedo ancora come funzionava davvero il forno, mistero della vacanza :). La posizione non è male, un po distante da supermercati e mare ma nulla di insormontabile, nel appartamento c'è sempre un odore di casa di riposo, consiglio un profumo per ambienti. La terrazza è la cosa migliore di tutto, ma, la prima sera che ci siamo seduti per mangiare, il mio amico è caduto perchè la sedia si è letteralmente spezzata (pesa 70 kg), hmmm, vabbè è una sedia di plastica che sta sotto il sole tutto il giorno, nulla di grave, nessuno si è fatto malissimo nonostante la precarietà della seduta. La chicca arriva ora però, ecco il perchè del titolo, LA TIPA HA PRETESO 20 EURO PER LA SEDIA, una sedia verde di plastica che costa 5 euro forse. Non solo, ha aspettato che andassimo via per chiederci i soldi, nonostante gli avessimo fatto notare subito che la sedia si è rotta, poteva dire qualcosa. Che mancanza di professionalità e povertà imprenditoriale. bah.

Conforme à l'annonce. Rien à dire.
Très bel appartement très bien situé. Une très belle terrasse bien exposée permet de profiter aussi bien du soleil que de l'ombre et surtout de la magnifique vue.

Super Lage mit toller Aussicht
Uns hat die Terasse, die grösser ist, als sie auf dem Foto scheint und der Meerblick von jedem Zimmer aus super gefallen. Lebensmittelladen 50 m. nebenan, in 5 - 10 min. zu Fuss an die Promenade und Restaurants am Meer. Ruhig, sehr zu empfehlen! Grazie Chiara!

Ein großzügiges Stadtdominizil - ideal für Familienurlaub mit älteren Kindern
Die Wohnung von Chiara findet sich in einem normalen Wohnhaus im Zentrum von Lerici in der obersten Etage. Sie ist äußerst großzügig von der Größe her und super sauber. Waschmaschine vorhanden, was sehr komfortabel ist. Ebenso eine Klimaanlage in den Schlafräumen. Der Balkon, der über die ganze Breite der Wohnung geht ist von sehr komfortabler Breite. Von hier lässt sich der Sonnenuntergang herrlich genießen, der Blick auf die malerische Bucht von Lerici und Umgebung ist sowieso wunderschön. Ansonsten ist Lerici wirklich traumhaft schön und ein netter quirliger Ort - im Sommer sehr voll - im Herbst super schön, dieses Jahr konnte wir sogar noch baden im Oktober. Das Jungvolk kann sich in den Bars der Stadt vergnügen, so sie ein bisschen Englisch oder Italienisch natürlich können. Von der Wohnung aus ist das Zentrum 5 Fußminuten - eine Treppe runter - man sollte in dieser Hinsicht gut unterwegs sein. Die Wohnung hat übrigens einen Aufzug. Das Auto parkt in einem Parkhaus in der Nähe (inklusive). Alles in allem hatten wir einen sehr erholsamen Urlaub - mit einem Besuch in die Cinque Terre, nach Spezia und auch mal nach Tullera. Man kann noch beliebig viel mehr unternehmen, wenn man möchte. Es gibt viele schöne Ziele in der Umgebung. Chiara als Vermieterin haben wir nicht getroffen, dafür aber ihren freundlichen Vater, der auch das Wasser zum wieder warm machte ;-). Es gibt zwei Dinge, die ich etwas bemängeln würde, die sich aber leicht beheben lassen: Es muss ein Tischchen für den Wasserkocher und Toaster her für die Bequemlichkeit - und - wichtiger - die Betten im Elternschlafzimmer sind mega hart und auch für einen Hartschläfer eine Herausforderung - und eine Matratze im "Kinderzimmer" ist durchgelegen. Wir kommen gerne mal wieder und können die Wohnung wirklich empfehlen - wir hatten hier eine herrlich entspannte Urlaubswoche :-)

Best view of Liguria
Nice and clean top floor apartment, with a great terrace view over the blue bay of poets, Lerici and Portovenere in the distance! Chiara was very punctual and friendly. In the house is information about the area. From Lerici, the Cinque Terre can easily be reached by boat or bus/train, however the bus ride is not very pretty going through the port district of La Spezia in a crowdy bus. Lerici is a nice place with a boulevard to San Terenzo (abt 2 km walk) Everything is close by, supermarkt, bus stip, boulevard, but be prepared to walk some steep stairs back. At 100m from the apartment there is a tiny shop for bread, water and other daily groceries. We spent a very nice week here!
