Sostio a Levante

We stayed for 8 days and absolutely loved it! The property is in a super quiet location, far away from any hustle and bustle – pure relaxation. The large and well-maintained pool sits right in the middle of an olive grove – truly beautiful. Laura, the owner, cooks two different main dishes every evening – always fresh, incredibly delicious, and using ingredients from her own vegetable garden. The pasta is simply outstanding! The value for money is excellent. Lucca takes care of the service and also produces the house’s own red and white wines – all of them were really good. You can order them by the glass or bottle during dinner. Breakfast is also fantastic, with a great selection, and on request, Laura prepares amazing omelettes. We felt very welcome and taken care of with warmth and great hospitality. Laura and Lucca were always ready with great tips for day trips (Cinque Terre, Portofino, and more). We will definitely be back – this place is a hidden gem!

Everything was perfect – no complaints at all.

The location was superb . Very quiet and peaceful. Pool was a great asset . Breakfast was lovely all home bakes

Maybe a bit more information on dinner . Pricing etc

The serenity, cooler and cleaner hills air, together with a gentle and leisurely walk along the hillside road after arriving was a wonderful pre-dinner experience. Our hosts were very considerate and helpful as we came by train and were able to be shuttled up and down as needed, even for a train connection to / from Deiva Marina to Portofino on our 'rest day'. The meals prepared by Laura were fresh and local dishes with dietary considerations well catered for. An extra special treat were the fireflies moving in the garden area on our first night and views to the Ligurian Sea. A relaxing soak and stretch in the pool after a 13km return coastal walk to Portofino was just what I needed before dinner. The bespoke sauna was tempting too! Sampling the vineyard produce (by the glass or bottle) with Lucca's modest encouragement was very pleasant.

Having to leave!

We couldn’t rate this accomodation more highly. The area is so beautiful and food is some of the best we had in Italy. The hosts were fantastic and very helpful. Would recommend to any traveller.

Really nice accommodation, would go back!

Lucca and Laura were excellent hosts and provided helpful and accurate information about Cinque Terre and surrounding area. We ate there every night with Laura's excellent home cooking - good two main dish choice each night at a very reasonable price. We enjoyed Luca's excellent wines each night. The grounds were lovely to sit in and so peaceful and with lovely rural views. We were here for four nights and this was a lovely contrast to our two short city stays. Highly recommended.

The bedroom was well equipped though quite compact.

Amazing place, stunning view, great breakfast, perfect to visit the cinque terre and to explore the region

There wasn’t much around the location but this wasn’t a problem for us
