Family-friendly holiday rentals in Santa Margherita Ligure

Wonderful apartment with very warm hosts. We were there with a baby and dog and felt very welcome. The private terrace offers a magnificent view of the city and the sea, the kitchen is very well equipped. We will be happy to come back!

We had a wonderful stay at this unique home. Never stayed in a castle before...and it was awesome! It is full of history and charm, with a family feel. We spent a good amount of time out on the stone deck enjoying wine and the great views. We also enjoyed simply walking around the inside and looking at the old paintings and decorations. It is great when an Airbnb goes beyond being just a place to sleep and instead becomes a big part of the overall travel experience. The castle is modernized in the important ways, but the host does go out of his way to portray it accurately in the full description. Also, it is a bit outside of town and so it may be best to have a vehicle during your visit. The host was extremely responsive when I had a couple of questions, and the arrival/check in process was made easy with an in-person meeting when we arrived. We also had an amazing dinner at the restaurant they recommended. Overall, this was an exceptional Airbnb and I would highly recommend it.

Fantastic stay, it felt like being at home! The location was perfect, very central and accessible to sightseeing and restaurants. The host, Angela, was very friendly and super responsive, with great greeting and shared a lot of suggestions. Everything went very smoothly and no issues. Highly recommended :)

The accommodation is comfortable, and very quiet, we appreciated the uniqueness with this huge hot tub, and the whole stone structure. The night was quiet with a good comfortable bed. I would definitely recommend this type of accommodation for short stays, let's say for a romantic weekend and finding yourself in a small but very special nest for couples. Only the bathroom is a bit sacrificed, but for a weekend it can be fine. The private barbecue area is very much appreciated. As for the reception by Stefano, I must say he was very friendly and helpful.

Responsive host, very pleasant stay close to the center. Perfect for relaxing for a few days.

Great 3 night stay at the end of April with cloudy weather. Villa Lilla has a lot of assets. Well equipped house, photo compliant, quiet, clean. Nice hosts. The jacuzzi is really nice (including when the sky is cloudy). We switched the heater to winter mode and the heaters worked right away. The second bathroom is more of an extra bathroom but the main bathroom is enough for 4 people. Parking space included and courtyard closed by a gate. The sound of the small church bell is very weak and adds charm from my point of view. Ideally located between Portofino and the 5 lands (we went there by train). I don't realize if the short road in pins can be a problem, we live in the Alps so for us it's no problem. But it goes with the WONDERFUL VIEW. I recommend Villa Lilla.

Perfect apartment for our vacation of 6 days. Everything was like description! Albert response very quickly and helped wirth everything, The apartment was very close to beach and city center, also the apartment was large, very clean, the kitchen is full equiped. You will not regret if you choose this acomodation!

We were very well received in this beautiful place, everything is very well maintained and very clean. Davide is available and very welcoming We stayed with our 16-month-old baby, he had provided a travel cot, there was everything to stay properly for 4 days Possibility of accessing the beach of Moneglia on foot by a small path (20 min) which is not negligible To sum up, a superb stay, we will return, that's for sure

Roberto was a great host with a wonderful apartment that had a beautiful view of the harbor. He went out of his way to monitor our train schedule and was aware of train delays, so he was able to meet up with us when we arrived at his apartment. He responded to us quickly when we texted him any questions. We highly recommend his apartment as he was a great host

Beautiful accommodation with a very large terrace overlooking the sea. The view was magnificent! The beach and a small bistro are right next to the house. The train station, a small grocery store and bakery are within walking distance. Grace was very friendly and always available.

Such a fantastic stay, exactly as pictured. Definitely recommend!!

We had a fantastic stay at this very special apartment in Genoa. We were three friends traveling together, and the apartment was incredibly spacious and full of character. It has a unique artistic charm – not your standard holiday flat, but something with real soul. The apartment was clean and in great condition, with the kind of patina you’d expect from a historic building – full of atmosphere, yet with everything perfectly functional. The kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms were all well-equipped, and the terrace was an absolute highlight: stunning views over the port and a perfect spot to unwind. Communication was flawless and proactive from start to finish. The location is excellent – close to everything you might need, yet peaceful. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates a unique place with personality. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

This apartment is terrific! Stunning views! We loved the terrace and the incredible and convenient location for beautiful walks, restaurants and the ferry. It has lovely updated bathrooms a nice lift, all the beds were comfortable including the pull out couch. It has high ceilings and big beautiful windows that look out over the sea, truly an incredible view. Elena was wonderful, responsive and accommodating. We arrived on the first warm day of the season and she had the HVAC tech come by shortly after arriving to turn the system over to air conditioning. We would definitely book this place again, thank you Elena for a truly lovely stay!

Gian was very flexible for our check-in as we were stuck in traffic. Thank you very much for this. The accommodation was surprisingly well located, Gian and Roberta Könnens would like to advertise even more for it. Even though we were only one power, we felt very welcome.

It always feels like a privilege to stay in someone else's home - and Federica's flat is really great, lovingly furnished, with beautiful floors, and a super view from the balcony. The downsides are minor; there's quite a climb to get to the front door of Federica's apartment, and she's on the fifth floor - which is a problem if the lift doesn't work - but she did sort the problem out remarkably quickly! We made very good use of the Metro, which is very clean, quick, and convenient. The local market was delightful (and the Oriental Market wonderful - though a bit of a journey to get to.) We slept well in the very comfortable bed - on a couple of occasions being serenaded to sleep by an owl in the local woodland. A Museum that I would warmly recommend is the Museo Sant'Agostino. The boat trip to Portofino is delightful, but take a picnic and walk up to the church - the restaurants are overpriced and not worth it. Thank-you Federica - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

FABULOUS! This is an absolutely exceptional AirB&B with total WOW factor! Both Gian Maria and his lovely mother are the kindest, most caring and hospitable of hosts. Their charming home sits high on a hill above Santa Margherita, in a beautifully rustic & private setting. The amazing views from the apartment / balcony over the Gulf of Tigullio are beyond breathtaking and spectacular! The apartment is immaculate & beautifully furnished / equipped with absolutely everything you could possibly need and more, including the luxury of dressing gowns. We were so touched on arrival to be welcomed with not only a fully stocked fridge and cupboards full of delights, but delicious focaccia and chilled wine - incredibly kind and exceptional gestures of hospitality from our wonderful hosts. Gian Maria meets you personally to guide you up to his home on arrival and both were always available if needed. Superb location to explore Ligurian coast. "Un Salto di Paradiso"...... indeed it IS!!

A beautiful home with the best airbnb kitchen we've experienced. The outside space is fantastic with a wonderful garden full of stunning plants and useful herbs. We were given some fresh lemons which really took the G&Ts up a level!! Garage is perfect for a car but everywhere is walkable. FULLY recommend this property to anyone thinking of staying in Rapallo.

We absolutely loved our stay! The apartment was so cosy, stylish, and full of character—it really felt like a home away from home. The location was perfect: just a short walk to the centre and the train station, which made getting around super easy. We especially appreciated all the helpful info provided about things to do in the area. We walked to Portofino one day (such a beautiful experience!) and took the train to Monterosso for a fantastic day trip. Both were highlights of our time here. Everything about the place made our trip extra special—we’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Just look out of the window and enjoy the VIEW! Staying at Angelos Penthouse really was a brillant family holiday. Sitting on the terrace, enjoying life with our own private pool for the kids on the roof. Nothing more to say. 😃 Angelo and Tommaso were perfect hosts with some really good tips. We will.come back

Elisa, you made our honeymoon a dream! Prior to the stay she sent us lots of information, pictures & voice notes to help with all our queries! We drove down to Santa Margarita after getting married in the lakes, it rained so I asked her if there was a dry cleaners who could clean my dress and my husbands suit and she took them straight after directing us to the property (it is beautiful and peaceful what we needed after a hectic social wedding!) Her husband helped carry our bags and they both were so friendly and have the most beautiful restaurant we had the pleasure of visiting! They left us a gorgeous bottle of wine on arrival which we drank whilst opening cards by the pool, and brought us stunning meats and cheese with olive oil made from the olive tree we sat under -just beautiful! Each morning Elisa left warm croissants and fresh fruit on the garden coffee table which was delicious and so thoughtful! Communication was amazing, thank you for everything we were truly sad to leave xx

All as described, nice and clean, comfortable beds. We felt very comfortable.

Great stay at Daniela's. The view from the terrace is really amazing. Daniela is super accommodating and recommended good places that she was able to book for us. As in most seaside homes in the area, the train passes just behind the house, which is convenient for visiting the surrounding villages but causes a little noise pollution.

Very good communication from Carla. Beautiful apartment with amazing views. Photos cannot do it justice.

Pierangelo was extremely kind, available and always responsive. The accommodation is peaceful with a stunning view and an amazing pool. We had an incredible time and can’t wait to be back!
