Very good. Our (super) host, Cristina was always available for our group. Whatever we needed she made it happen. Wish the pool was cleaner and heated. Other than that the property and scenery were great.

Excellent spot for a family trip
The location is beautiful and comfortable. We had 9 people, 3 generations and all enjoyed ourselves. The nearby restaurant, Al Settimo Ceilo is lovely, we both ate in and took take out. Appreciated the included coffee maker. My daughter said the hammock was her favourite. The young adults enjoyed playing pool evenings. Our only frustration was with the cabs. First they couldn’t find us by address or name. They suggested (which we did and it worked) using Mira Mare, a hotel next door to the restaurant. We also waited over an hour for a cab more than once both evening and morning.

Great visit
We enjoyed out visit to La Spezia very much. Adriano even put up some Christmas lights on the house for us. Location definitely requires a car and the drive is quite winding up the hill but the views are definitely worth it. Despite it being December we were able to enjoy several lunches out on the terrace.

Lovely villa, spectacular view!
The Redbreast's Villa is a beautiful home which, although of modern design, is decorated with some lovely antique furniture and fixtures. Two bedrooms, a living room and dining area, kitchen and two bathrooms (one ensuite) comprise the upper/main level. All rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are modern and well equipped. The kitchen is sunny and bright and equipped with everything you might need. The Lower level is huge with a sitting area, billiards table, chess and games table and excercise area and.......another bathroom! Outside the kitchen is a lovely covered deck area for dining al fresco or sipping a morning cup of coffee while taking in the beautiful view. The views over La Spezia, the Marina and the Gulf of Poets nothing short of spectacular. The villa is spotlessly clean and it is obvious that the owners care about the property and their guests' experience. Thank you Adriano and Paula.

Gorgeous Villa, Wonderful Owners!
We stayed at the villa for three nights while we toured Cinque Terre and couldn't have been happier. The view was incredible and the villa itself was in pristine condition and absolutely beautiful. Adriano and his family were as nice as could be meeting us at the property and giving us a full tour with background information about the area. At the bottom of the hill, there are several small markets and a great little pizzeria. We would definitely like to go back and stay for a longer time. The drive up to the villa is a tad tumultuous and we got a bit lost at first, but once you figure it out it's definitely worth it. A great, inexpensive way to see Cinque Terre and other attractions in the area. Thanks to the owners for a great stay!

Idyllic Italian Villa Allows You La Dolce Vita
This is a beautiful villa set amongst others on a hillside overlooking the Gulf of Poets. You will be transfixed watching the boats enter and exit, watching the sun rise and set, the moon will rise and dance over the marble mountains in the distance, all while having all you need for a relaxing time away. The house is spacious and great for two couples. If you have kids in tow, there are two couches that convert to full/queen and two chairs that turn into twin beds. The property is pleasantly spacious and gives cause to meander about, the kitchen and living spaces more than ample, the pizza oven and gazebo are where you are going to be when the evening comes about..we could have just stayed there and not explored. Yet there’s a lot nearby. 5terre is an easy ferry or train ride, Pisa is an hour, Firenze two hours, and so many towns to explore nearby. This villa is best accessed by auto, if you’re a walker, you’ll be hiking a lot and then calling a taxi. The host(s) lovely and entertaining, and are there if needed. In short, we look forward to returning there soon.

Large, beautiful, comfortable villa with outstanding view and fabulous gane/activity room.
Could be comfortable for a group of six to eight. Car is necessarily (preferably a smaller one). Excellent location for day trips to many northern Italy tourist destinations From Genoa to Pisa. Very friendly, helpful daughter/mother team greeted us and acquainted us with the home. We rate this stay very highly.

Wonderful property in a fantastic location with fantastic and ever changing view
Great property for the eight of us. Spacious, with every thing we needed. Great views which changed constantly with the activity in the gulf and the changing light of the day. Privacy when we needed it, but great to have the games room. Outside gazebo was a winner for evening barbecues and pizzas. Must also mention the small shop close by and the great pizzeria. Great base for exploring the region.

Lovely and accommodating!
The house was lovely and Adriano, Christina and her daughter were great to work with. They were helpful in answering all our questions and very accommodating with our schedule. The house came well furnished, my only recommendation would be to have more paper products such as kitchen paper toweling or kitchen drying towels for hand drying dishes and possibly some olive oil and pepper (there was salt). I realize these may not be commonly supplied in Italy, but in most cases they are in the US. Other than that minor suggestion we DEFINELY would recommend this lovely property. Bello!

A great time at the Gulf of Poets
We don't normally write reviews, but after our stay at the redbreast villa we felt compelled to write a small piece. The villa is a dream come true for a family looking for a peaceful environment with all the comfort that you would get at home (and some extras). The kids enjoyed playing 8 ball and being able to swim in the (albeit rather small) swimming pool while we enjoyed the marvelous views and the use of a well equipped kitchen. We were particularly charmed of the reception at the house of Cristina. She was a very helpful and if needed we could reach her during our time there. Thanks Cristina !!!

Tout à revoir excepté l'accueil très professionnel
La maison est agréable mais beaucoup de choses sont à revoir vu le prix demandé : - La maison n'est pas accueillante, elle est froide et pas assez régulièrement aérée et ensoleillée. Le premier soir nous avions froid, le chauffage était éteint, heureusement que la personne très professionnelle de l'agence à bien voulu revenir à 10h du soir pour allumer la chaudière. - Pas de chauffage dans les salles de bains, même le radiateur serviettes ne marche pas. - Une literie sans couette, juste un drap et un dessus de lit - Une seule serviette de bain pour deux personnes - Les assises des chaises du séjour sont inconfortables et blessantes, surement trop vieille comme beaucoup de meubles dans cette maison - Les chaises longues et hamac sont cuits. Le hamac s'est effondré sous mon poids de 50 kg le premier jour et la chaise longue sous le poids de mon mari 68 kg car les vis ne tiennent plus - Le jardin n'est pas régulièrement entretenu, l'herbe coupée juste avant notre arrivée. - Il n'y a que deux chambres, les 12 couchages sont largement surestimés Cette maison manque de vie et de soleil. Quand nous sommes partis après 3 nuits, elle était beaucoup plus agréable, réchauffée et assainie. 500€ la nuitée, c'est le prix d'un 5*, nous ne reproduiront pas l'expérience !

Das Grundstück bietet viel Privatsphäre, da es von den Nachbargrundstücken nicht einsehbar ist. Die Aussicht auf den Golf ist frei, man hat bei beitreten des Hauses sofort das Gefühl von Urlaub. Es gibt eine Terrasse zum Sonnenbaden, einen Standpool zum abkühlen, einen Pizzaofen und was wir auch ausgiebig genutzt haben, war der Billiardtisch. Alles in allem, man kann auch mal einen Tag im Haus verbringen ohne sich zu langweilen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und wurden von Christina zuvorkommend betreut.

Et bien voilà une bien belle maison avec beaucoup de place. Nous étions 7 et c était parfait. État impeccable. Une vue à couper le souffle. Et vraiment le plus est la salle de billard très sympa pour les fins de soirées. Un léger moins reste l odeur de tabac froid dans certaine pièce.

Un grand merci à Adriano et à Martina pour leur chaleureux accueil. La maison est vraiment magnifique et agréable pour 8 personnes.

Heerlijke week gehad! Prachtig huis met een fantastische akoestiek (geweldig om te zingen), zwembad was wat klein, maar het strand is dichtbij, dus geen probleem! Pizza gemaakt in de pizza oven. Supergaaf om te doen. Leuke omgeving, Cinque-terres dichtbij en het lieflijke stadje Portovenere zijn leuke uitstapjes. Kortom voor herhaling vatbaar!

Vue superbe !
Grande maison dans un magnifique jardin arboré en terrasse, nombreux équipements intérieurs et extérieurs (dont barbecue, pergola, billard, jeux, matériel sportif...), idéal pour une grande famille de 10 personnes (nous étions 10 adultes, seulement 2 chambres mais assez de lits dans les autres pièces à partager). Quartier calme, une petite épicerie et une bonne pizzeria à 50m de la maison, très pratique ! La gare est à 3km, facilement accessible à pied en 40mn (venelles, voie verte). Très bon point de chute pour visiter les Cinque Terre : les trains fréquents et/ou le bateau permettent de rejoindre la ville tout au long de la journée. La Spezia est une ville italienne vivante et commerçante. La cerise sur le gâteau est la vue splendide sur le golf depuis la terrasse et même depuis toutes les pièces de la maison. Notre hôte sur place, Cristina, a été super ! Encore merci à elle pour sa disponibilité. NB : attention, fin avril 2017 la consigne bagages de la gare était fermée.

Haus/ House in La Spezia
A wonderful spacious well-preserved old house with stunning views and a beautiful garden, but a little off and with an unfriendly landlord. The house was tidy, clean, and well maintained. Unfortunately, the house has some problems with the electrics. The fuses went off often and we spent three days with the air conditioning out of service. We tried to fix this several times bu the problem was eliminated only after the coming of technicians, and one bedroom remained with no air conditioning during the entire stay. With 28 C at night this is almost unbearable for the average North European, especially when a 80+ year old lady is with us on the trip. At the end of this week we asked for a compensation for the 3 hot days but the owner responded angrily and he insinuated that we had paid only for 6 days and not 7 (booking was allowed only for an entire week, and we obviously got a confirmation on this before), then he told us to leave with a "Get out of my house" goodbye. Therefore we spent the vacation with various adventures in a beautifull Location. Ein wunderbares großzügiges guterhaltenes altes Haus mit einer atemberaubenden Aussicht und einem schönen gepflegten Garten, allerdings ein bisschen abseits und mit einem unfreundlichen Vermieter. Das Haus war aufgeräumt, sauber und sehr gepflegt. Leider hat das Haus einige Probleme mit der Elektrik. Die Sicherungen gingen öfter durch, Die Klimaanlagen waren 3 Tage außer Betrieb. Mehrere Versuche, dies zu reparieren sind erst nach dem Kommen der Techniker beseitigt, ein Schlafzimmer blieb die ganze Zeit aber ohne Klimatisierung. Bei 28 C nachts für die durchschnittlichen Nord-Europäer kaum auszuhalten, insbesondere wenn eine 80+ Jahre alte Dame mit dabei ist. Beim Abschlussgespräch nach der Frage wegen der eventuellen Genugtuung für die 3 heißen Tage wurde der Vermieter wütend und hat uns unterstellt, dass wir nur für 6 Tage bezahlt haben ( Buchung war nur für die ganze Woche erlaubt, die Bestätigung lag natürlich vor), danach mit "Hau ab von meinem Haus" sich verabschiedet. Also Urlaub mit Abenteuern in einer schönen Lage.
