Simply Marvelous!!!
The Cottage is everything provided in the description by the hosts and much more. It is quaint, charming, clean, and comfortable. The view is stunning and Donata’s garden is exquisite. I slept comfortably and utilized the easily accessible buses and trains to get around La Spezia and Cinque Terre. The hosts, Donata and Claudio, are beautiful people. They were extremely gracious and attentive to me while giving me the full use of the Cottage and total privacy. I speak very little Italian and was able to communicate very well with the hosts in English. This was the best vacation I have had because The Cottage felt like home and Donata and Claudio felt like friends. I will return as many times as they will have me. If you are looking to fall in love with Italy, stay at The Cottage and enjoy all it’s scenic wonders and the warm hospitality Donata and Claudio offer.

The cottage
We had a wonderful stay, fabulous views, very cosy cottage with all we needed to self cater for our stay. Very helpful owner who provided lots of information. Enjoyed the hot tub, and the blackberries from the garden for breakfast were delicious. A car is necessary to stay here, quite a long way down to shops etc. So relaxing. Would stay again if we were in the area.

Not only is the cottage and the hosts fantastic, but Donata is a master gardener and gave us a tour of her gardens!

Exceptional hosts, unique piece of paradise
Donata and Claudio were exceptional hosts. The garden and cottage are a unique piece of paradise with a fantastic view of La Spezia. Quiet, easily accessible and very romantic. Spend a few days to discover. Would highly recommend. Looking forward to returning.

la maisonnette n'est pas du tout indépendante, elle est au coin de la terrasse des propriétaires, l'endroit est très isolé de la Spezia et difficile d'accès, forte humidité du lieux , et le jacuzzi n'est pas disponible en octobre. location passable, sans plus.

Schöne Auszeit über La Spezia
Donata und Claudio sind sehr nette Gastgeber und wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt in „Il Cottage“. Die Einrichtung entspricht den Bildern, viel liebe zum Detail, man fühlt sich auf Anhieb wohl. Die Aussicht und der mit Hingabe gepflegte Garten bieten eine tolle Atmosphäre. In unserem Fall war leider der Whirlpool nicht verfügbar - wir wurden darüber jedoch vorab informiert.

Nicht was versprochen wird
Als wir nach langer Fahrt endlich auf dem sehr hohen Berg ganz oben angekommen sind, war der erste Eindruck sehr enttäuschend. Zu Fuß irgendwo hin zu gehen, wäre eine Zumutung. Selbst mit dem Auto ist es bei diesen Straßen anstrengend zu fahren. Leider ist auch kein Strand zum Baden in der Nähe. Das Häuschen wirkt auf den Bildern größer als es wirklich ist. Auch die Terrasse ist sehr klein und wird direkt mit den Vermietern geteilt, Privatsphäre gibt es also keine. Auch der Garten war nicht sehr gepflegt. Als der Vermieter uns erst vor Ort mitteilte, dass es keinen whirlpool gibt, haben wir uns entschlossen was anderes zu suchen. Wirklich sehr schade nach der langen Fahrt. Um nur in der Sonne zu liegen komplett ohne Wasser, muss man nicht nach Italien fahren. Das einzige positive war das Entgegenkommen des Vermieters, uns das komplette Geld zu erstatten.

Du plaisir pour les sens
Cottage paisible et propre parfaitement située pour découvrir les cinque Terre et les environs. Le jardin est une splendeur, bucolique et riche du savoir-faire de Donata. Merci à vous, nous avons eu une semaine de bonheur chez vous dont nous sommes déjà nostalgiques.

Nettes Cottage mit super Ausblick - Nice Cottage with amazing view
The Cottage was small, but it was all That we needed. It was very clean and the best Thing is an amazing view over La Spezia. It was a good Location to star trips to Cinque Terre. Das Cottage war sehr schön. Es war klein, aber absolut ausreichend. Der Ausblick war unglaublich super. Ich bin sehr froh, dass wir dass Cottage gewählt haben und nicht La Spezia direkt, da die Stadt an sich nicht so schön ist. Es ist ein super Ausgangspunkt für Touren ins Cinque Terre

Bellissima visuale e tanto relax!
Bel soggiorno, la zona e' molto fresca e tranquilla, ottima base per le 5 Terre o anche solo per qualche giorno di mare, si puo' scegliere tra lo splendido golfo dei poeti oppure per la zona toscana di Massa che sono pressoche' equidistanti. Il cottage e' molto pulito e dotato di ogni confort, il giardino che lo circonda spettacolare. I proprietari attenti ai loro ospiti, gentili, ma non invadenti, insomma una bella vacanza!

Genau das Richtige
Wir fühlten uns sehr wohl im "il Cottage". Es steht in einem liebevoll angelegten Garten mit super Aussicht. Das Häuschen ist auch mit viel Liebe eingerichtet und es hat alles was man braucht. Auch für Abkühlung ist gesorgt, auf der grossen Terasse steht ein Yacuzzi, das wir sehr genossen. Donata und Claudio sind 2 sehr nette und zuvorkommende Vermieter. Auf Wunsch brachten sie uns jeden Morgen ein reichhaltiges Frühstück herüber und gaben sich auch sonst viel Mühe, dass wir uns wohl fühlten. Vielen vielen Dank, wir haben uns sehr erholt.

Idyllisches Cottage mit Blick aufs Meer
We had a great stay at the cottage. You have everything you need, even a Jacuzzi :) We got a very nice breakfast every morning which we enjoyed on the terrace in the morning sun. Donata and Claudio were great hosts and came to help us when electricity was down. We can absolutely recommend the cottage if you want a great place to come home to in your holidays.
