About this property

This delightful, modern, quiet garden flat is in the historic heart of San Terenzo, 150 meters from the sandy beach, on a pedestrian street. Made up of 3 main areas: a fully equipped (dishwasher, washing machine) eat in kitchen leading, through a stone arch, to the evening area, with double bed and sofa bed in the Sitting Room Area. Which opens onto a beautiful Italian garden with lemon and quince trees, perfect for evening meals in the summer, with a dining table and barbecue as well as an outdoor shower.

The shower room is tiled in Bisazza Tiles and has a local slate basin top.

The third area is a separate bedroom, accessed through the garden, with a double bed and wardrobe. There is also a second toilet that can be accessed from the garden.

San Terenzo offers a great array of restaurants, stores and markets. The food is classic Mediterranean, with excellent local sea food caught daily. I will provide you with a location document, with recommendations for places to eat and visit.

There's satellite TV, DVD and an independent heating system (even though temperatures in the apartment rarely fall below 14 C degrees even in winter).

Pleasant apartment in the lovely village of San Terenzo only yards from the sea.

This modern apartment was well furnished and with a very comfortable bed, only yards from the sea and local bars and restaurants but in a delightful small Italian town. Very little English spoken but locals very eager to help. The larger and more touristy town of Lerici only 3k scenic seafront walk away where boats leave for the Cinque Terre on a regular basis. Buses to La Spezia run frequently as they do in the other direction to Sazana. A small enclosed garden comes with the apartment, furnished with new loungers, table and chairs. The apartment manager Monia speaks English and is very helpful.

Perfect location

Perfect location! Perfect holiday town, with sandy beach, warm water, very few foreign tourists, no overcrowding like Cinque Terre. The apartment is modern and well equipped. The lovely, big garden is unfortunately mosquito infested, so out of bounds.

A wonderful slice of life in Italy

I have just returned from a wonderful week here with my 21-year-old daughter. This beautiful apartment is very well equipped and comfortable and we found it remained cool both during the day and at night. Although we ate out a great deal at the excellent local restaurants it was convenient to have a kitchen with decent pans, knives etc to cook the odd meal "at home" and eat at the table in the garden which provides ample shade as well as sun. At night the apartment was very quiet which I appreciated greatly being a light sleeper. We travelled without a car but were able to use the apartment as a base to visit other parts of Liguria such as the Cinque Terre and Tellaro by local bus and ferry - when we were able to tear ourselves away from San Terenzo, that is. The town is a very special place with a pretty local beach that is also excellent for swimming. As well as dining out we enjoyed going out for breakfast or aperitivi in the local bars and found people very friendly. The owner was helpful in correspondence ahead of the stay and provided extensive information prior to our arrival. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner's father who had that rare combination of being both welcoming and unintrusive, providing us with helpful local info. All in all a wonderful stay and we would gladly return.

Why they chose this property

This apartment is very special to me (and almost everyone else who visits). The private garden is rare given that the apartment is in the historic centre of San Terenzo. The location is superb: a quiet, pedestrian street (in terms of peace, much better than being on the Seafront), local shops, supermarkets, 15 restaurants and bars, 4 coffee shops all within 5 minutes' walk. And the beach is just 90 seconds' away. Also, as a spot to visit the Cinque Terre, it's perfcet: you can get to the Cinque Terre by boat, by car or bus/train, and you avoid staying in the maelstrom that can be the Cinque Terre.

What makes this property unique

The building hails from the 16th Century. The apartment combines original features (exposed brick archway and detailing) with modern comforts and design. The Garden provides tranquillity and privacy, particulalry during the busier months of Summer.
