Madamadore

Nitro settled right in, and we’re hoping to return soon, maybe by motorbike next time. Martina made us feel like guests in a friend’s home, and even the dog was treated like royalty. The villa has a private garden and sits among greenery, with well-kept rooms and breakfast on the terrace: fresh focaccia and brioches every time. Its handy spot close to the highway made it easy to explore the Riviera di Levante, while the quiet setting was a welcome escape from the August crowds on hot days. Thanks for everything, Martina. Amazing stay!

We picked Deiva Marina as a quieter base for a Cinque Terre weekend, and after two nights in September 2019, we were very glad we did. It’s well connected by train to the villages and beyond, and the property’s garden has pergolas for breakfast when the weather allows, plus a stone barbecue. Martina sent us the quickest route before we arrived, which saved time, then shared useful tips for visiting the area and even gave us a free parking pass for our car in Devia Marina. Our Nina room was a bit smaller than the others, but just right for two. It was bright, spotless, nicely furnished, and had a breathtaking view. The property itself is simple, peaceful, surrounded by greenery, and carefully maintained. Breakfast had both sweet and savory choices, including cheeses, cold cuts, croissants, focaccia, fresh bread, and homemade blueberry, lemon, grape, and mandarin jams. They were amazing. We’ll come back when we’re ready to see more of the Cinque Terre.

Tucked into the hills of Deiva Marina, this quiet guesthouse makes a great base between Sestri Levante and the Cinque Terre. Lovely beaches are close by, and it’s a pleasure to come back to the wilder inland area. Martina runs the place with care and is so kind and helpful. I’d recommend it to motorcyclists and anyone who enjoys exploring. Thanks for helping make our vacation wonderful, Martina, and for that amazing breakfast!!!!

The welcome was fantastic, with lots of useful tips for seeing the Cinque Terre. The rooms are lovely and really clean. The road in is narrow but paved, and Google Maps isn’t much help. You won’t hear the highway from there.
