About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Next to Portofino, fantastic location

The living room's balcony overlooks at the tiny beach; the property is really “pied dans l’eau"

The house is an example of the late XIX century holiday villa of the Italian Riviera, built above its boathouse, has always starting point for beautiful canoe trips.
It is ideal for relaxed and refined holidays.
The position is very special between the green wooded hills and the sea, the flat overlooks a small public beach, that can be reached by a short path. It's next to the beautiful Paraggi bay, with its sand beach, amazing green transparent water, tiny village and exclusive villas.
A mild weather all year round, allows to enjoy walks along the sea and on the hills, or to shop in fashionable Portofino and Santa Margherita boutiques to lounge in a restaurant terrace.

From the boathouse below the flat you could appreciate the beauty of Portofino Marine Park in the best possible way: paddling, rowing, with 'outdoorportofino' .
By a short walk (or by bus) you will reach Portofino with fashionable shops, very nice and romantic outdoor cafés and restaurants.

It is included in the natural park of Portofino that features beautiful walks in different environments due to the special biodiversity of flora and fauna, with stunning views on the sea and steep cliffs.
If you like trekking, this is an amazing area with stunning landscapes: we highly recommend the classic trip to Portofino - San Fruttuoso Abbey, which leaves directly from the house or comfortably by ferry from Portofino.

Amazing location, views and more
We were traveling as a family with three young adults and two grandparents - and this was a fantastic find! The bus is a bit expensive (5 Euros per person/trip) but if you don’t have a car, well worth it. We had two cars and had to search for parking for the second, but I think we just missed that info. The house is gorgeous and totally unique and we had everything we needed. Lots of hikers to Portofino (and it was the off season!) passing by, but I would take the trails instead of the road if you are sure of foot. Thanks for the travel books and advice!

Perfect weekend
We had a perfect stay at this property! Three couples (two with two-year-olds) came together for a reunion weekend, and it could not have been more perfect. Giancarla picked a couple of us up from the train station and took us to the grocery store so we could get stuff for breakfast the next morning which was really helpful, especially as it was pouring rain. Tons of space in the property as well - worked quite well for us. The location is just wonderful. Perfect views and morning sun in the living space. The beach below is so convenient. It wasn't warm enough to swim, but the toddlers loved to dig in the sand and throw rocks into the water. An easy walk into Portofino via the walking path right above the property. We took our strollers on it and had no problems. It was really nice that we didn't have to walk on the road to get there. We also walked to Santa Margherita one day which was a really pretty walk along the coast as well. Would 100% come back in a heartbeat!

Brilliantly authentic
Stayed over Easter. Fantastic location if you like something near to town yet feels a world away. 15 minute walk to Portofino. 40 minute walk to Santa Margherita. Waterfall in the back. Amazing hikes just behind. So quiet though ride in the road. Beds were very comfortable. Great host! We hope to be back.

A magical place to stay!
We all loved staying at Niasca. The view from our balcony; proximity to Portofino; walking trails; ease of accessing the bus and train. All made for a magical nine nights. Not to be missed: A meal at the former monastery nearby Camogli (as beautiful as Cinque Terre, and much less crowded) Old Town Genoa A wine tasting at Caduferra Dining in Portofino and Santa Margherita

Stunning home & location
We stayed here with extended family for Christmas. The property is just stunning, with a waterfall at the back and the sea in front. It had everything we needed, including a clothes dryer! The home was cold in the evenings in December, but there were plenty of blankets and a space heater. Some trails were closed but we walked into Portofino a few times, and made use of the bus to explore Santa Margherita. We would love to come back at another time of year to hike more. Giancarla was responsive and so generous with her time. I would like to return.
