Il Giardino di Fe

Carla and Giovanni were incredible hosts, with countless local tips and places to check out. We even joined them on their sailing boat along the beautiful coast, with sunset swims and aperitivo featuring local delicacies. We came away with a week of adventures and so many memories, thanks to our favorite locals. The modern house sits among olive trees with a beautiful sea view. Our room was clean and air-conditioned, with garden access, and the WiFi worked well everywhere. Breakfast hours were flexible, with lots of varied options, including Carla’s homemade cake.

The setting is lovely, with a real connection to nature in a simple but elegant style. Breakfast overlooking the hills and sea was superb, and Carla and her family are delightful. There’s an international atmosphere, and the surroundings are beautiful, with evocative places to hike. I’d especially recommend the boat trip with sunset aperitif, it’s well worth it. You can rent e-bikes right at the property. I hope to come back soon!

The hosts gave us such a warm welcome and were really helpful. We loved having lunch on the terrace with that sea view. The breakfast was a highlight too, with a great spread of fruit, cereal, cakes, Italian cheeses, and cold cuts. Our room was very comfortable and well soundproofed, though you could still hear the highway outside. Great place!

Carla made us feel like we were visiting family. She was warm, easy to talk to, always available with tips, and even helped carry our luggage up the steep footpath. The carefully prepared breakfast was delicious, and we felt safe and looked after throughout our two nights. The accommodation is beautiful, with a lovely atmosphere and a fantastic view. Its hillside setting makes a car essential, but there’s private parking. It’s also well placed for trips to Camogli and Portofino. We wished we could have stayed longer. We’d happily come back, and recommend it to anyone looking for Ligurian charm and genuinely warm hospitality.
