Great stay with family at Villa Vernazza

The house and grounds are beautiful! Especially the patio with the lovely view of the mountains and sea!! I would have liked the home to be more carefully cleaned. The owners were very responsive to our questions. The pool was really nice and the location was great for all our activities. Lots of places to eat and shop nearby.

Amazing Italy Vacation

The Villa was everything that we expected. There were 8 of us and we had plenty of room to relax. The view from the Veranda is amazing. Check in process was easy, Giuseppe and Pia greeted us upon arrival and departure . They walked us through the Villa amenities, were responsive with our inquiries, helped with dinner reservations and dinner recommendations, thank you. When you are initially looking for the Villa, while on Provinciale, you will want to turn at the white House with cactus plants and follow the winding short road the the Villa gates. Overall we had a great time at the Villa and recommend staying there.

Great views, lots of space, needs a bit of upkeep.

Very lovely home, stunning views from the deck. Great communication with host. The place had plenty of space for two families, total of 8 people. Great to come back to a refreshing pool after a hot day and watch the sunset from the deck. We wish the place was a little bit cleaner and more maintained. Prior reviews do mention leaking shower and we have experienced it as well. One of the bedrooms had pet hair all over the sheets, likely from a cat that lives on the property. Kind of an issue of you have cat allergies. We ended up washing it ourselves in the end. Overall we were happy about our vacation stay there and would recommend it to others.

Spectacular Views from this Spacious Castlenuovo Magra Villa

My wife and I along with two other couples spent five nights in this stately villa. While the roads leading to it are full of twists, bumps and hairpin turns, upon arrival you can fully appreciate the magnificent views as well as the home’s design and attention to detail. Franco and Pia are fabulous hosts and provided prompt answers to all of our queries along with restaurant suggestions and directions when needed. One night they arranged for a talented chef to prepare an exceptional dinner with wine pairings which was a definite highlight of our stay. I should mention that this property is not close to Cinque Terre but you can get there via the train system by driving to the La Spezia station which is about 18 miles away. From there you can travel by train to all 5 villages. There is also a nearby winery (‘Ca Lunae) which produces fantastic wines and offers tours and tastings which we highly recommend. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Villa Vernazza and created many lasting memories!

Sarzana stay

We loved this place, the pool and property are beautiful, the communication with Pia and Giuseppe was very good. We had a total of 7 people over 2 weeks. I would never stay here without a car. Parking is easy, many yummy places to eat near the villa (5 minutes), grocery store is close, train, 10 minutes. We did day trips to Lucca, Portovenere, Cinque Terre, La Spezia, Carrera marble mines, and one overnight to Santa Margherita. The kitchen is perfect, the patio is magic, the outdoor shower is where most of us wanted to shower. Views are spectacular. The pasta class and cooking night with Antonella was magic. We also loved going to the local "bars" with the locals for Appertivo, so fun.Every morning we would head out to a local bakery to get fresh croissants and donuts. We had great weather, one day of rain in 14 days. We would love to return some day. Khalifa is the property on site manager and he is takes care of the grounds and pool and keeps it looking pristine.

Family chill time

The Villa was exactly as we expected only more so! Pia and Giovanni couldn't have been more welcoming and the Villa felt very homely and relaxing in its eclectic fabulous decor. We felt at home right away which was good as we were there for four weeks! We had family and friends stay at different times and all felt relaxed and enjoyed themselves either swimming in the huge lovely pool( which has a diving board) or doing basketball hoops or playing table tennis. There a masses of room so you don't feel on top of each other . Some of us did some sightseeing but the views and sunsets from the villa whilst having a barbecue or taking advantage of the chef and cooking lessons created some fabulous memories. Our hosts and concierge , Khalifa, were brilliant and answered any queries very quickly. I can't recommend highly enough !

Great private Villa with amazing long-range views of Tuscany!

We spent a week in late May in this beautiful Villa. We really enjoyed the amazing views of the valley, surrounding mountains and the sea! The villa is very private with no close neighbors, a wonderful private pool, garden, fresh herbs and an olive grove. Giuseppe was a wonderful host who gave us great recommendations for excursions, shopping and dining.

A stunning villa inside and out that is perfect for families or a few friends.

I booked this beautiful villa to celebrate my Birthday with friends & family. 10 of us plus my 2 year old grandaughter. The hosts - Giuseppe and Pia booked a local Restaurant for us prior to our trip and the evening of our first day there we hired their Chef to cook for us at the villa, which was just perfect. We didn't hire any cars so it was really helpful that the Concierge drove us to the local supermarket to stock up with supplies and also to & from the local train station- Sarzana on a few occasions. We spent one day relaxing by the pool which was perfect. The location is remote but less than 10 min drive to Sarzana. Taxi @€20 and Taxi to La Spezia @€40/€50. Stunning views and lovely walks locally. Can't wait to go back!!!

Amazing Villa above the Beach

We just had our family reunion at Giuseppe’s villa. It was amazing and the house worked very well for my dad (81) to my youngest daughter (5). The clean pool kept the kids entertained while the adults had a drink on the many decks. The location is great with good takeout food and local markets within 5min driving distance and the beach 15min away. There also is a nice historic castle and village right above the villa. Giuseppe was very helpful and replied to my many questions within 5mins. We loved it.

Wonderful home in great location!

The house was beautiful, well decorated and very high quality. The grounds were well maintained although we didn't use the pool since it was winter. The groundskeeper that lived below the home was very sweet and responsive to our needs. The owners were very communicative and stopped by to meet us in person and offer their help. It was easy to get to nearby towns such as Pisa, Modena, Cinque Terra and more. Our third trip to Italy and this house didn't disappoint. I would highly recommend it.

Beautiful villa with Spectacular Views

Our family of 11 covering three generations truly loved our time at the villa. During an extremely hot week in Italy (and all of Europe) the large and very clean pool and air conditioned bedrooms were very welcome. The views of the sea, mountains and valley are spectacular. The location is convenient for day trips, with Sarzanna being a charming town to eat and walk around. We also enjoyed the wine tasting nearby. Sheila was very helpful in fine tuning our time. The villa was every thing we hoped for.

This villa has amazing views from the patio and master bedroom. The villa had ample space for our 10 guests. Pia and Franco were so helpful and quickly responded when needed!

This is the perfect villa, look no further!

My family of nine just spent a wonderful, relaxing week at Villa Vernazza. I spent a long time researching villas in the area, looking for the perfect one. I found it! The setting of the villa is lovely. We enjoyed every moment, day or night, spent on the veranda looking out at the mountains, sea, and countryside. There was ample space and seating for everyone. I loved being able to look up at the lit-up tower at Castelnuovo Magra every night. The pool area is gorgeous, with more ample seating for everyone. The shower with the solar hot water tank was an added bonus that we all appreciated. The patios around the pool are charming and nicely landscaped. I enjoyed just walking around the villa and taking in the fresh scents and sights. The villa itself is beautifully decorated and each room is lovely. Everyone had plenty of space and enjoyed their ensuite bathrooms. My husband and I stayed in the master bedroom and what a treat that was! The view out of the two walls of windows is amazing! The location of the villa is unbeatable. We easily accessed numerous different activities/towns. We had two rental cars. One day, some in our party drove to the closest beach and said it was less than 10 minutes away. Another day, a carload of us made the short, hour drive to Florence. One day, we all went to the Carrara marble quarry/tour. We highly recommend that!! One day, we drove to the Sarzana train station and took a train to the Cinque Terre region (with a change at La Spezia Centrale station). We hiked between Vernazza and Monterosso. The beauty here is unsurpassed. All visitors to Villa Vernazza should go to Cinque Terre. On our departure from the villa, we had a short drive (50 minuted) to Lucca, where we stayed for two days. The villa is also very close to Pisa. We enjoyed a couple jaunts up to Castelnuovo Magra. What a beautiful little village! We recommend going up there to visit a cafe, restaurant, or the tower. A highlight of our trip that we will never forget is the meal/cooking class put on at the villa by Antonella. We learned how to prepare several different appetizers, as well as eat an assortment of bruschetta, another yummy appetizer, two pasta main dishes, a second plate of a flakey, salmon pastry, followed by the best tiramisu, all served with a couple bottles of wine. It was dreamy; the best night at the villa! Pia and Franco were gracious and helpful. They answered all our questions and were expert with the villa upkeep. Thank you! ❤️

A dream holiday home

Whenever one visits a beautiful home one can admire its setting, its decor, furniture, ornaments etc but to be given the keys is something extra special and was very much appreciated by all nine of us. The moment one arrives the spectacular views across the valley intoxicate and breakfasts and morning coffee take on a whole new meaning with such a view. The living areas are many and spacious with room for all the family to spread out and even take a break from each other if needed. The spectacular master bedroom could come from a luxury bedroom magazine and the other rooms, although with less spectacular views, are delightfully different and very homely. With ensuite bathrooms and aircon in each bedroom we were more than happy and the pool was just the touch of luxury we all needed for this family break. The villa is obviously a home for Pia and Franco who couldn’t have done more to make our stay a success. From the comprehensive welcome and tour of the house to help either in person or via WhatsApp they were the ideal hosts. A few helpful suggestions: Franco is happy to take a cheque for the damage deposit so take one with you to save using all your cash. This is a villa that needs a car. Although there is the availability of an 8 seat taxi we were charged €60 for the ten minute drive from the station which we felt was exorbitant and put us off using the taxi again. Take a train. The Italian train system is easy to navigate (English instructions and announcements abound) and is really good value compared to British Rail and there is a FREE car park at Sarzana station. We loved this villa and we would thoroughly recommend a stay here. Thank you Pia and Franco!

great villa!

We traveled with 3 families. The villa was perfect for our size group. We had 13 people. The villa was extremely clean, and modern with rustic charm. The kitchen was perfectly equipped and the view was amazing. We were there in early April when it was quite cold, but the large veranda would be amazing for summer evenings, and the pool would be amazing as well!! The wi-fi isn't great, but that was our only complaint.The driveway is extremely steep and windy, but it wasn't a problem...that's what you get when you rent a house with a spectacular view. Pia and Franco were wonderful as well. They even arranged a chef to come in and cook us a typical Italian meal. Would definitely rent again.

Die Villa von Pia und Giuseppe liegt wunderschön am Hügel mit einem tollen Blick über das Tal und das Meer. Das großzügige Haus, die große Terrasse mit vielen Sitzgelegenheiten und der schöne Garten mit dem großen Pool bieten für jeden ein schönes Plätzchen zum erholen. Pia und Giuseppe haben uns tolle Restauranttipps gegeben und auch gleich die Reservierung für uns übernommen! Vielen Dank nochmal dafür an unsere sehr freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Gastgeber! Man fühlt sich rundum willkommen!! Dank dem guten Geist des Hauses ist der Garten topp gepflegt und sogar um die Entsorgung des Mülls wird sich gekümmert. Ein besonderes Highlight für uns war der Abend mit unserer Privatköchin, Antonella, die uns auf unserer Terrasse mit einem super Menü verwöhnt hat!

Traumurlaub in Traumvilla

Wir waren eine gemischte Gruppe von 8 Personen im Alter von 30-57 Jahren. Die Villa ist perfekt für uns geeignet gewesen, wir haben uns phantastisch erholt! Egal, ob beim kochen, lesen, Aperol- Spritz trinken oder quatschen vor dem behaglichen Kamin - es war für jede Stimmung etwas dabei! Dank Kalifa, der guten Seele des Hauses, mussten wir uns nicht um die Entsorgung des Mülls kümmern, und kleinere Reparaturen (Auswechseln einer Glühbirne) wurden sofort erledigt. Die Anfahrt über die steile Auffahrt war etwas schwierig, aber wir haben es sogar mit einem 8-Sitze-Bus geschafft! Vielen Dank, Giuseppe und Pia, dass ihr uns euer tolles Haus anvertraut habt! Die traumhaft schöne Aussicht werden wir so schnell nicht vergessen!
