Family-friendly holiday rentals in Italian Riviera

Anna's place is spectacular and prob the best Airbnb we've stayed at - the views from the apartment are insane, the rooftop deck is huge and from my vantage point some of the best in all of Cinque Terre, not just Manarola. We ended up liking Manarola the best of all the towns and Anna did a great job communicating with us the entire time. A couple of notes - the first is that there is a way down to the water that doesn't require you going all the way back down Belvedere but using steps that are closer to the apartment. The second is that for a while I couldn't find the AC in the living room, but its in the ceiling right between the bedroom and the bathroom, you might have to walk over to it and point the remote at it to get it to turn on properly!

We had a wonderful few days. The best part is the view on the sea which is absolutely fabulous. Best place to relax, to have some food, a nice enjoyable drink. Apartment is also very well equipped, especially the kitchen. There is no air conditioning, but much better to dive in the swimming pool or the sea (first access at the end of a few steps) if you need to cool down. From there we did a few beautiful day trip to Cannes, Nice and Monaco, all easy to reach, and enjoyed taking the time to go by the road by the sea. Roberto was also available before and during our trip to provide very good instructions and advices (like local restaurants). Always available and always provided a friendly answer. And thanks for the paddle board which allowed us to visit nearby beaches.

A beautiful apartment in the middle of nature, surrounded by olive and lemon trees. Very clean, kitchen very well equipped and nice seating outside. Mosquito screens on the windows are very practical. Carlo was a very attentive and friendly host. We will be happy to come back.

We a great time at Christophe's place! It was so beautiful and peaceful. There were lots of local restaurants and his wife kindly gave us a recommendation for somewhere to eat seafood. She was especially lovely because she allowed me to practice my limited French! Christophe's son took us out on his boat for snorkeling and exploring the Cote D'Azur- a truly unforgettable experience! Thanks everyone!

We spent 3 fantastic days in Daniele's villa, immersed in the tranquility of the Tuscan countryside. We were 9 friends and the house was perfect for our stay: spacious, clean and equipped with all comforts. The outdoor pool and jacuzzi were the stars of our relaxing days, while the indoor sauna added a special touch to the evenings. The common areas are spacious and well organized, and the outdoor porch is ideal for a barbecue. Daniele was an impeccable host: always available and attentive, he made us feel welcome right away. We recommend this stay without hesitation, perfect for those seeking peace, comfort and a beautiful place to share moments with friends.

We had an amazing stay at Enrico’s apartment! From the very beginning, communication with him was outstanding — he was always quick to respond and went out of his way to provide helpful recommendations for day trips and things to do in the area. When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with some essentials already in the fridge and breakfast items, which was such a thoughtful touch. The apartment itself has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay — well-equipped, clean, and cozy. The view from the balcony is absolutely stunning and made every morning feel special. While the beach is within walking distance, keep in mind that the way back is a bit of a climb (about 20 minutes uphill), but totally worth it for the peaceful location and the amazing views. All in all, a wonderful experience — we’d love to come back and highly recommend staying here!

Simply unbelievable – a secluded haven with everything you'd want from a holiday home in the Italian countryside. We spent 6 days with our two young kids at Monica's place, and had one of the best holidays ever. The house is beautiful, well-equipped and charming, and the views are out of this world. Sunset out of the bedroom window will stay with me forever! Then there's the gardens - lots of room for kids to run around in complete safety, with a large infinity pool (cold in May, but still enjoyed every day by us and the kids… the view was so beautiful I proposed to my fiancee there 🥳), and also a playground and outdoor bowls lane. There's an excellent restaurant within 5 minutes walk, but Sillico is a quiet, beautiful medieval hamlet and not much more – be aware that to get anywhere you'll need to drive 12 minutes down quite a narrow twisty road. It didn't bother me, but just something to be aware of for less confident drivers. Overall: one of the best places I've ever stayed!

The place was great for our group of six people. The proximity to the train station was a plus. The stairs leading up to the apartment were easy to climb with our small lugguage items. The place looks exactly how it is in pictures. Gianni was responsive and extremely helpful! He arranged the standing fan for the third room since it had no ceiling fan. His recommendation to park our car in public parking was also apt. There are two bathrooms however there is only one shower panel. The other bathroom has a jacuzzi instead which meant that shower there would flood the bathroom. This could probably be fixed with a shower curtain since one shower panel between six people is a stretch. Overall our group had soo much fun and we can recommend Gianni's place to anyone visiting Cinque Terre! Note- that there is 3Euro per person per night tourist tax which was needed to be left in cash box while checkout. We were not aware of this but managed to find some cash.

What a wonderful week we had with Luca and Emilia at the tower! It was amazing to see all the pictures in real life - it was even more amazing in person. And the garden is just magical. I had no idea the beauty of the pool area. Laying by the pool and listening to nature we felt transported to a simpler time. To top it off Luca was so delightful. We enjoyed his company and hearing more about the story of the tower and the town. I would recommend this as a stop on anyone’s vacation to Italy. Wonderful hosts in a magical setting!

This is such an amazing property, with amazing views from both balcony's. Lucia was so friendly and made us feel right at home. We arrived late in the afternoon, hungry and tired, Lucia kindly booked us a table at an authentic Italian restaurant literally 30 seconds walk away from the apartment. She also kindly gave us instructions on how we could best see the surrounding areas and how to travel around which made our experience even more amazing. The center of Santa Margherita is just a short bus ride away and there is a ferry port where you can explore portofino, San fruttusco and many more places of the coast. We will definitely be back!😁 We will definitely be back😁

We absolutely loved our stay in Castè — it was a magical place. Peaceful, beautiful views, an inviting courtyard with fairy lights and fireflies. The apartment was clean and filled with antique furniture and lovely details. Gianni and Antonella were very accommodating, meeting us at check in and showing us everything to ensure we were comfortable. They also spent the first 30 minutes, explaining sites to see in Cinque Terre, where to eat, park the car, and some insider tips. We felt right at home and can't wait to go back!

Enrico was a great host. Always on hand but still gave us good space to enjoy the property. He was helpful when we had an emergency too. Nice property in the hills

Very nice and central apartment. Nice host. Recommended!

Very nice place and host ! I recommend

This is the best AirBnB experience of my life. The apartment and location are incredible, and Damiana (and her husband) were fantastic hosts. The apartment has been recently upgraded and everything was just perfect - unbelievable views of the town and ocean, super clean and comfortable bed, super clean and well-appointed bathroom, and lovely small kitchen (with what seems brand new washing machine and dishwasher, large fridge, oven, coffee maker and lots of little touches like bread for toasting, great dishes and cooking utensils, etc.). The veranda has nice furniture and a shade umbrella, and the whole place has roll-down blackout shutters then let us sleep in as late as we wished. Damiana arranged for parking in the village for us (no easy feat), and her husband walked to meet us and get us checked in. Damiana had great suggestions for eating places (even booking places on our behalf), and great idea ideas for hikes to do and things to see. You will not be disappointed!!

The place was a dream! You had your peace, because the nearest neighbors were further away. You could spend the day relaxing by the pool and have a good time. The communication was great, we were even able to check in a little earlier. If there were any questions, Sara was always available. We personally searched for the accommodation for a long time, because the link from Google Maps did not work. Nevertheless, we had a great family vacation in the vineyards😍

We had an absolutely amazing time at Daniela’s place - it was clean, had stunning views and was quick access to Pisa, Florence & Siena. Beautiful pool and lovely terrace with amazing views and sunsets. The kitchen also had everything we needed, including local olive oil and pasta & local wine as a welcoming gift. Daniela went above and beyond providing us with lilos and a pump for the pool too. Overall, 10/10 stay!

The most beautiful property! Such a rare opportunity to find a place like this, truly oceanfront with an abundance of serene outdoor space, pool, grill, etc. all to ourselves. And a big thank you to Ksenia for being such an incredible host.

What a place! Fantastic penthouse high up on the mountain with magically beautiful and expansive views in all directions. We will miss the large terrace and, of course, the rooftop pool! Camogli is a cozy seaside resort and it was also easy to get around and visit the beautiful surroundings. We had a rental car, but public transport (bus and train) also worked very well. Angelo and Tomasso were very good hosts - nice reception and always quick answers. We have had a wonderful holiday here and will gladly return!

Functional and atypical accommodation. Its location is ideal. The city center is within walking distance (about 30 min). The situation on the height, the surrounding greenery, the calm as well as the sea view are great. Everything was perfect. Very friendly and available hosts.

This was a midway point on a long journey. It was so nice to wake up and have nothing to do but eat and enjoy the day on the water.

A real little paradise. A warm welcome from Manuela. I highly recommend it!!! We just left and dream of going back!

Chrystelle was very approachable throughout, from booking, through our stay until our leaving. The place is beautiful, so is the whole property very well taken care of. The chapel lacks nothing, was spotless and the guests await a proper folder with detailed information about Grasse. Chrystelle is very warm, sophisticated and a respectful host. We would love to go back soon. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We love staying at Barbara's place. Its beautiful. Magic happens here. We will come back soon.
