Guest Reviews

• Corien (10/5): Een heerlijke plek met fantastisch uitzicht over de middellandse zee - Het fantastische uitzicht Geen opmerkingen
• Jan (8/5): -
• Emma-Roosa (9/5): Very relaxing couple of days in Camogli - Friendly hosts, great views, nice little house and secure parking spot No complaints
• Eszter (10/5): Rendkívül jó szállás, gyönyörű helyen! Nagyon kedves a szállásadó! Minden tökéletes volt! - Minden tetszett :) Nagyon szép volt a kilátás a teraszról, idillikus élmény volt ott inni a reggeli kávémat. Minden megközelíthető volt busszal, nagyon jó túraútvonalak vannak a közelben. A szállás rendkívül tiszta, rendezett volt, minden szükséges dologgal felszerelve. A szállásadó nagyon kedves és segítőkész volt! Nagyon köszönöm neki! Nem volt ilyen.
• Brian (9/5): The host was absolutely fantastic! Had a great stay! Will come back -
• Domenico (10/5): - La posizione è splendida come panorama e anche molto comoda poiché a 50 metri dalla casa c'è la fermata dei pullman di linea per andare in tutte le località vicine di interesse (Camogli, Santa Margherita, Rapallo, Portofino). In tre giorni di permanenza non ho usato per niente la macchina. Gli ospiti sono persone affabili e gentilissime. La struttura è gradevolissima e accogliente. Da ritornarci. Assolutamente niente.
• Enrica (9/5): - Roberto è una persona d'altri tempi: gentile e molto disponibile. L'appartamento è davvero accogliente e molto carino. La vista dal terrazzo privato sul golfo di Camogli è mozzafiato. Da Ruta partono molti dei tracking verso Portofino, Santa Margherita e San Fruttuoso. Consigliatissimo.
• Martine (6/5): Nous avons beaucoup la région de Camogli et ses environs - Hôte très chaleureux et très belle localisation Matelas trop ferme, douche trop petite absence de volets ou de rideaux occultants pour la nuit.
• Francesca (8/5): - The amazing view! A bit too cold inside the apartment
• Borislav Stoykov (1/5): - The host didnt provide us with check in details on time. So we couldn't find it and slept in other place. It's no need to point we paid full price in advance. Next morning we finally got access to him and came to apartment with ask only to take fast shower. It was denied from the owner. I didnt got why as he don't know a word in English and I don't know Italian. Total disappointment. But I had chance to have a fast look at room. It can be described in only one word Disaster. This is place which has to be removed from Booking immediately! Its a scam! Stay away!
• Reinhold (10/5): - A very cosy room, with terrific views. Situated high above Camogli, it is just a short bus trip from the train station, and a beautiful walk down via a lovely path if you wish. Our host was very kind and we thoroughly enjoyed the stay, which was a great starting point for exploring Cinque Terre. Camogli is one of the nicest places in the whole region and Casa Portofino is located effectively within a small village, with local restaurants and stores nearby.
• Marietta (10/5): Very beautiful experience, thank you for being attentive host! - Location view 1000% Just view worth to stay there. Beautiful ride on the way to the place, Everything that is needed is available, small kitchen is well equipped ( hosts care about their place and guests). Comfortable bed and relaxing sleep. Car parking is useful. Host is very attentive and pleasant in communication. The only heads up is that shower is quite small in size, so better be aware beforehand. Very recommended! Grazie mille!
• Silja Marlen (9/5): Nydelig sted med hyggelige eiere. - Koselig leilighet med god seng og nydelig utsikt. Lite støy. Like ved var det butikk og restaurant. Busstopp rett nedenfor leiligheten. Vi tok buss til Camogli,Recco og Rapallo. Rett ved bussholdeplassen går det trapper ned til Camogli. Tar ca 25-30 min å gå ned til Camogli. Skal du gå opp til leiligheten fra Camogli,så starter stien med trappene rett forbi togstasjonen. Turen fra Casa Portofino til Rocca er også fin og enkel å gå. Vi mislikte ingenting. Vil bare nevne at vi reiste i midten av september og det gikk da færre busser fra Camogli og de sluttet å gå tidlig på kvelden. Hvis du ikke vil gå trapper i 30 min ( vi gikk de fleste kveldene) kan du ta taxi for ca 18-20 Euro.
• Heidemarie (10/5): Wunderbare Aussicht und eine schöne Unterkunft - Wunderbare Aussicht auf das Meer, freundliche Besitzer und Kommunikation, eine gut ausgestattete Ferienwohnung. Man kann sich sehr wohl fühlen. Wir haben sehr gut geschlafen. Vielen Dank auch für die großzügige Zurverfügungstellung von Getränken und Nahrungsmittel. Wir können diese Unterkunft empfehlen!
• Sonia (10/5): - La gentilezza del proprietario
• Cecilia (10/5): - Tutto! L'appartamento, il terrazzo con vista mare, la gentilezza dei proprietari! Ci torneremo!
• John (9/5): Mooie plek voor verblijf aan de ligurische kust - Het studioappartement is ligt in Ruta di Camogli dit is een stukje boven Camogli, je hebt er een waanzinnig mooi uitzicht vanaf je terras (2x) vlakbij ligt een kleine supermarkt en bakker heel gemakkelijk met ontbijten. omdat parkeren in Camogli lastig is zijn we telkens met bus gegaan, bushalte ook op kleine afstand, super gemakkelijk bus stopt bij treinstation vandaar ook naar Cinque Terre etc. Roberto doet er alles aan om je verblijf aangenaam te maken.Parkeren op het terrein tegen kleine vergoeding. Het bed was nogal hard, en zeer smalle douchecabine.
• Robyn (9/5): Our host Roberto communicated very well through messsging and answered any questiions we had very promptly. Would defin - The bed was very comfortable , nice big towels and extras in the bathroom such as shower gel. There was also condiments .. olive oil , salt and pepper plus water , juice and snacks .. very much appreciated . We had access to 2 terraces and the view down to Camogli was stunning We were very happy with everything Would just mention that the shower cubicle wouldnt be suitable for a large person as is very small
• Bradascio (10/5): - La casa era piccolina ma molto accogliente, con una vista spettacolare e con inclusi tutti i servizi necessari: una cucina fornita con addirittura gli utensili per pulire e alcuni snack per fare colazione inclusi. I proprietari sono gentilissimi e molto disponibili per ogni richiesta! La posizione della casa é perfetta: di fianco alla stazione, quindi comodo per andare sia a Camogli che Recco, Santa Margherita Ligure ecc.... In generale un'esperienza veramente positiva! Niente, tutto perfetto.
• Chiara (10/5): Bellissimo soggiorno! Appartamento con tutte le cose necessarie, ottima posizione! I proprietari Roberto e la moglie gen -
• FEDERICO (10/5): -
• Amanda Breum (10/5): - Udsigten var fantastisk og værterne var søde og opmærksomme. Alt var godt!
• Alexia (10/5): - Appartamento semplice con angolo cottura e tutto l’essenziale, dotato di terrazza con bella vista. Posto auto disponibile a pagamento. Collegamenti comodi per Camogli grazie all’autobus ogni ora. Host molto gentile e accogliente.
• Bettina (9/5): - Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt Das kleine Häuschen ist zweckmäßig und gemütlich eingerichtet – es ist wirklich alles vorhanden, sogar Salz, Pfeffer, Essig und Öl. Besonders praktisch: Man kann direkt vor dem Häuschen parken. Roberto, der Gastgeber, ist sehr kommunikativ und äußerst hilfsbereit. Er ist jederzeit erreichbar, da er mit seiner Familie im selben Gebäude wohnt und man den gleichen Eingang nutzt. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt.
• Greg (9/5): Comfortable studio with amazing views! - Small but comfortable, the place is all about the view. Roberto is very nice and helpful, secure parking for a small fee right at your door, functioning kitchen with gas cooking. Recommended to visit a supermarket before you arrive, although Roberto provides water and juice and snacks. Air conditioning is good. All around it’s great value for the price. Nothing really, the shower is a tight squeeze but was manageable.
• Karl (10/5): Great accommodation with a spectacular view - The location is perfect. It's up on the hill looking out to Camogli and the sea and so the views are breathtaking. There is a large terrace where you can sit to enjoy the sunset and the view. Although it situated in a village, it is a main interchange point for the buses from Genoa, Camogli, Rapallo etc so it was very easy to travel without a car and the bus stops and village centre are only 2 minutes walk away. There are also who bars/restaurants, a bakery, a grocery store and a pharmacy. The accommodation has everything you need and the kitchen has all the equipment you need to cook. Roberto, the owner, lives next door and was very helpful and available if you need him. He even left me a selection of food and breakfast items as well as coffee for both the machine and the moka. The bed was very comfortable for me, it was a firm mattress. The inside of the accommodation has everything you need but the best part was definitely the large terrace and amazing view. It's why I chose this accommodation and I was not disappointed. I didn't need it as I preferred to cook my own food, but some people may like a microwave. There is a coffee machine but no kettle (maybe this is more a British thing?) so I boiled water in a pan for tea. But neither were an issue for me.
• Mohammed (10/5): Exceptional -
• Zuzana (10/5): A Dream Stay at Casa Portofino – Unforgettable Experience! - From the moment we arrived at Casa Portofino, we were absolutely stunned by the breathtaking scenery awaiting us. The views are beyond anything we could have imagined – every time of day brought a new kind of beauty, and we truly cherished every minute. Our host, Roberto, was exceptionally kind and welcoming. His hospitality went far beyond our expectations. He greeted us warmly and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay, from fresh towels and coffee to breakfast essentials. He even surprised us with his homemade limoncello and some fresh lemons when we left – such a lovely touch! The apartment itself was perfect – cosy, well-equipped, and incredibly comfortable. The bed deserves a special mention: it was unbelievably comfortable, which was a huge plus for my back, especially since we stayed for seven nights (and still didn’t want to leave!). We enjoyed every minute, from morning coffee to sunset dinners, with the most spectacular view you can imagine. One of our highlights was buying fresh fish and preparing dinner at the apartment while watching the sunset. The location is also very convenient. Just a stone’s throw away, there’s a little shop for essentials, a trattoria with the best Mandilli al pesto we’ve ever had, and a bar right below the casa that also offers a great sunset view and food. The bus stop is just a minute away, and we used a local app to purchase tickets easily. Just note, if you're not driving, in May, the last bus was around 8 PM, and taxis were hard to find after that. But honestly, we didn’t mind at all – coming back to Casa Portofino in the evening was a treat in itself. Camogli stole our hearts. It’s so authentic and charming, and visiting in May was perfect, peaceful and not overcrowded. We can’t thank Roberto enough for making our stay so special. We highly recommend Casa Portofino and will definitely be back. It truly felt like a blessing to stay there.
• Dirk (9/5): Perfect place to explore, value for money - Location spot on, Good car park, easy to explore the area. Kind and helpful host. Small but comfortable place with the sound of the church bells. Verry small (narrow) shower, Be aware of bus schedule ion week-ends !
• Vive (8/5): Very good - Roberto made the check-in very easy. Good contact, he was very helpfull. The appartment is great, very clean and everything you need is there. The view is amazing! We loved to sit on the big terras and just enjoy the view with a nice glass of wine. There is a nice bar ' Nico's bar' and a great trattoria just in a 2 min walk. Good bus connection the the beach and a very nice parking spot for your car. We loved our stay and would definitely book again if we come back to Camogli. We loved the fresh lemon's we got as a goodbye gift from Roberto. is it still available? Hurry up, Book it now!!
• Diégo (8/5): Very good -
• Lisa (7/5): Good - The location was amazing and the property was able to park our car. Breakfast provisions were good. The aircon remote was broken, not so good when temperatures are over 30 degrees. The room was a little smaller than expected
• Emily (10/5): Gorgeous views, convenient location, excellent host communication - Excellent communication with the host, lovely property with views over camogli - gorgeous sunset. Easy bus route down into camogli or can walk to San fruttuoso. Highly recommended!
• Philip (10/5): A perfect cosy retreat with wonderful views - A fabulous view over Camogli with easy access and parking on site. Even if the restaurant just below (excellent btw) was closed for holidays, my hosts recommended an even better restaurant less than 5 minutes away (La Loggia) with more exceptional views of the bay I was staying only there only at night as I was working during the day. Sadly I couldn’t go to the beach or do a walk, both of which are easily accessed from the property
• Josh (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly and accommodating host Good location and view Great facilitiies
• Richard (8/5): Very good -
• Zanker (10/5): Exceptional - Such a beautiful view and great place!!! Easy to get to main camogli beach either by bus or walking. Great location bus stop, store and chemist fives minutes down the road.
• Gretė (9/5): Superb -
• Gábor (10/5): Highly recommended! - We loved the apartment, it was cosy, well equipped and had a wonderful view to the coast and the sea. Signor Roberto is a very kind and helpful host. He povided us with coffee, tea and biscuits for breakfast. The apartment is located in a beautiful quiet place and there is a small bakery, a restaurant, a pharmacy and a little supermarket only a few steps away. Also, the bus stop is very close. We loved everything about it!
• Mate (7/5): Nice place with some rip off - Nice location, good value for the price. Shops and restaurants nearby. Quiet place with nice view. Be aware if it happens that your flight is delayed and you arrive late after check in time, don't expect any understanding. You will be charged 50 euros for getting the key. Only cash in the pocket and no receipt of course...
• Rokg (10/5): I like Liguria - Hospitality of landlord was hlvery high! There was everything you need to survive if you forget something at home (hair dryer, soap, shampoo...). Kitchen was well equiped, all elementary ingredients and food was included, excellent coffee with machine for preparing was available. It's close to bus station, from which you can easy access to Camogli, Santa Margherita, Rapallo or Genova. Parking lot was available. There was also awsome view. /
• Aman (4/5): I would not stay here again - View was very good The owners forced us to leave before check out time which we agreed to. We were delayed by ten mins (still way within check out time limits) and the owners cut of electricity to the room!! My baby and wife are in there getting the last suitcase packed while I was loading suitcases. The owners then left in their car because they had to go somewhere. So all this hurry was because they had to leave. Even the water in the shower was not consistent and continuously went to freezing cold for a couple of seconds every minute.
• Samantha (7/5): Good -
• Erik (10/5): Great, peaceful studio apartment. Would stay again - Nice quiet location. Very close to the local restaurants and bus stop. Boars at night
• Olivia (10/5): Lovely stay, nice views. - Amazing view down to Camogli, the b&b is in a residential area of town and not in the centre, but if you want to head into town there is parking there. Facilities were nice & stay very comfortable. There is a small kitchenette but not everything you need to cook a meal. The hosts were lovely but were not as communicative about check in time as other b&bs we have stayed at. Whatsapp is a better form of communication than booking.com forms 😊
• Elina (10/5): Friendly hosting and stunning views above Camogli - This place has the most beautiful views one can imagine. The hosts are very friendly and helpful and the apartment was clean, cosy and well equipped. Safe private parking and bus running from very near by to Camogli and Santa Margherita. Warmly recommend!
• Kristina (9/5): Superb - We stayed with my son and we enjoyed the place, view and cosiness.
• Owen (10/5): Everything Amazing! Best View ever! - Wow, the view from up there is even better than the pictures, and the Golden retriever next door makes it even better. Couple who owned the property couldn’t have been more helpful, and even gave us a lift from the station as they knew the bus times had changed. Always at hand whenever we needed anything, and even the language barrier didn’t stop us finding them a pleasure to deal with. Buses were a lot easier than expected, and dropped us right next to the apartment. Terrace was a nice place for breakfast nothing!
• David (8/5): Very good - beautiful view iIF sitting outside on small patio; pretty decor and very clean; host helped us call a cab when we got stranded in camogli one rainy night; availability to park; Facility-wise: tiny, the shower was 25-26 inches square; kitchenette sparse; We found no wine opener, microwave or hot pot; there was an extra pillow but we couldn’t find extra cases; To open and close gated driveway, one person must get out and use key. it would be very cumbersome if alone. google maps required use of gps coordinates to find; location: if your destination is camogli or train/ferry from there, look closely at bus schedule; in September, the bus no longer ran after 8. on the schedule provided by host, there was an N over the evening times with a footnote at the bottom which explained this but we failed to realize we needed to translate the footnote and were stranded in town. not one single cab driver in town would come after 8 pm on a Saturday night. we attempted the very dangerous walk home but google maps guided us through a path that was locked near the end ( we have reported for Correction). We regret not staying in Camogli! obviously most guests have loved this facility. it was not for us and thought others should know why but it may be perfect for others
• Kim (10/5): Exceptional - The most beautiful location, views just stunning. Utterly spoilt by the care and kindness of our hosts. An absolute gem of a stay.
