The place is called La Serra which means “the greenhouse”. All around wood, fruit trees, vineyard, olive grove and typical Mediterranean vegetation make you feed relaxed. Here is possible to listen to the sound of the country.

Customer unfriendly
We were instructed to state the exact time we would arrive - no time range allowed. We drove for 8 hours with only one stop, experienced an hour stationary in Genoa tunnel because of traffic chaos. Luckily we arrived in time. No one there!! Note on the door from the manager – she had gone skating and we were to pick up the key from a neighbour. She said she had sent a txt but we didn’t receive it as we were in transit. Her note said she would call round ‘tomorrow afternoon’ so we stayed home not to miss her. 27 hours later, she arrived at 8.30pm as we were finishing dinner. We couldn’t make the tv work because there were no instructions, and the wifi was broken. Her husband had to fix it.
I drew her attention to the microwave which had glass pie dish instead of a turntable and didn’t work properly, she shrugged and said ‘yes I know’. It also had a burn mark on rear inside wall. There was no plug in the sink so we couldn’t wash up – she said use the dishwasher – but there weren’t enough tablets for the week. There was no kettle, we had to use a saucepan. The bed mattress was hard foam, bottom of the range Ikea, 12cm thick. The two small pillows were hard rubber – we had to request more – another 24 hours while she sought approval from the owner. The CRT tv was decades old and no dvd player or any books, just a few dogeared magazines. The website says linens provided, but further down the page it contradicts and says you have to pay – yes you have to pay. You have to pay for gas too – I have never had this before. There was no welcome pack, no welcome note, no bottle of wine, or chocolates, fresh bread, flowers etc like other hosts. Just four pages of detailed instructions in German and English stuck on the wall on how to sort the rubbish between the 5 bins cluttering the kitchen – don’t make a mistake or you will be charged extra.
Check out other critical reviews, the winding road is miles from the town and supermarkets. The garden is unkempt and unsuitable for children, the stairs down to the bottom bedroom are not stairs but a loft ladder dangerous for young children.
Yes the view from the terrace is great – the customer service is a disaster - we left early to go to other accommodation.

Das Ferienhaus ist sehr liebevoll mit Blick fürs Detail eingerichtet. Die Lage ist traumhaft schön, toller Blick von der schönen Terrasse in endlose Natur. Die Küche ist weit über den Standard eingerichtet (meiner Meinung nach fehlt nichts). Das Bad ist zweckmäßig, die übrigen Zimmer absolut ausreichend und hübsch eingerichtet. Uns haben Stuhlkissen auf den Metallstühlen auf der Terrasse gefehlt und ein zweiter Sonnenschirm auf der kleinen Terrasse vor dem Haus. Da das Ferienhaus abseits in den Bergen liegt war es gut, dass das Haus WLAN aufweist und wir dadurch Verbindung zur "Außenwelt" aufnehmen konnten :-). Für alle Naturliebhaber, die abschalten, Ruhe genießen und für sich sein wollen, ist dieses Haus ein Traum, es hat eine besondere Atmosphäre und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Tolles Haus
Das Haus war sehr sauber. Die Küche war gut ausgestattet. Insgesamt war es ein tolles Haus mit einer super Terrasse und vor allem ein super Ausblick bis hin zum Meer. Einzig die Anfahrt den Berg hinauf hat ein bisschen gestört. Das wussten wir allerdings ja im Voraus.

Mitten in der Natur
Wunderschönes Haus mit atemberaubenden Blick über die Berge über La Spezia. Das Haus liegt sehr abgelegen, wer kleine Straßen und Serpentinen hasst, sollte es nicht wählen :-)
Aber in gut 10 min ist man unten und hat dann die Wahl zwischen vielen Aktivitäten die alle innerhalb einer Stunde möglich sind (Strand, städte wie Carrara, Sestri Levante oder Rapallo, Wandern um Cinque Terre oder im Gebirge rundum das Haus.
Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet und sehr schön, auch zum selber kochen geeignet. Wir waren bei großer Hitze da, aber wenn man nachts alles auf und tagsüber alles zumacht, kriegt man das Haus gut kühl. Und abends im Liegestuhl auf der Terrasse sitzen und Sternschnuppen zählen ist die beste Entspannung die es gibt...

Fijn ruim vakantiehuis met mooie uitzichten
Fijn vakantiehuis, leuk ingericht, biedt veel ruimte, twee terrassen waarvan 1 met prachtig uitzicht, heerlijk rustige omgeving, goed uitgeruste keuken, alles schoon en netjes, goede bedden. Het huis is ook bij zomerhitte prima te ventileren waardoor het binnen niet te warm wordt. Goede informatie van verhuurder ontvangen en ook prettig contact met beheerster te plaatse.
Auto is onmisbaar; Cinque Terre en andere mooie bestemmingen in de omgeving zijn goed te bereiken, maar reken wel steeds op z'n drie kwartier reistijd vanwege de kleine weggetjes. Wij hebben er een heerlijke week doorgebracht.
Klein verbeterpunt: de douche zou erop vooruit gaan met het plaatsen van douchedeuren ipv een douchegordijn en de afvoer ruikt af en toe een beetje.
Al met al een aanrader! 4,5 ster waard, ook ivm prima prijs/kwaliteit verhouding

Traumhafte Lage und super ausgestattet!
Die Aussicht ist wirklich traumhaft! Welch ein Glück, so ein Häuschen zu finden.....
Wir haben selten eine so gutausgestattete Küche vorgefunden: vom Spülmittel, Lappen, Zucker, Kaffee, Schneidemesser, Knoblauchpresse, Besen, Staubsauger...alles da. Bis auf eine Teekanne: könnte man noch anschaffen. Liebevoll eingerichtet. Bzgl. Einrichtung 1 Nachteil: das Zimmer unten hat keine Tür. Wenn oben jemand aufsteht, werden alle wach.
2 Außensitzecken - Luxus für ein Ferienhaus.
Viel Spaß allen, die sich für dieses Haus entscheiden - wirklich empfehlenswert.

Superschöne Lage am Berghang mit schönem Ausblick bis zum Meer.
Das Objekt liegt sehr ruhig und ist liebevoll eingerichtet. Uns fehlte es an nichts. Relativ langer Anfahrtsweg den Berg hinauf, der allerdings auf einem Stück gesperrt war, das aber trotzdem durchfahren werden musste.

Idyllische Lage, gute Ausstattung
Wir waren zwei Wochen zu zweit über Weihnachten in der Villa Garibaldino.
Das Wichtigste zu dieser Jahreszeit: Man bekommt das Haus warm, das ist nicht immer der Fall.
Die Villa liegt sehr schön in der toskanischen Landschaft. Man muss natürlich viel fahren, aber das haben wir gerne in Kauf genommen.
Die Ausstattung war wie beschrieben, es hat nichts gefehlt, man kann gut kochen, das Internet funktioniert sehr gut!

Eine schöne Woche
Sehr stilvoll eingerichtet. Sehr ruhige und schöne Umgebung. Das Haus ist mit allen notwendigen Dingen ausgestattet. Leider waren wir nur 1 Woche da nicht mehr frei war. Sehr gute Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter der auch jede Menge Empfehlungen vermittelt.
