With a nearby train station, these charming locations are easily reachable for a day of exploration.
Beyond Cinque Terre, the beautiful Gulf of Poets awaits, featuring the coastal gems of Portovenere, Lerici, and San Terenzo. The seaside villages of Marola, Cadimare, and Fezzano invite visitors to wander their narrow streets, enjoy local seafood delicacies, and soak in the unique coastal ambience.

Michael
The most gracious host we had during our visit to Italy. We can’t thank them enough for opening their beautiful home to our family. While we didn’t get to hike in Cinque Terra because of being sick, they provided the perfect home to relax and recuperate. The property has everything, beautiful views, great space for outdoor dining and entertainment. Beautiful pool looking out at the ocean, pizza oven, BBQ, ping pong, garden, plus fruit trees. The outdoor bed was perfect to watch the sunrise on our winter morning or to relax and read from in the afternoon soaking up the sun with gorgeous snow cap Mountain View’s. The house itself was absolutely charming and are amazing host provided us with homegrown/homemade olive oil, that was the best we had during our two weeks in Italy. Highly recommend this amazing property!!!!!!!!

The owners are exceptional hosts. We were a group of 4 adults and we had the experience of the chef at home. It was just perfect. I recommend it. The house is beautiful and clean the views are exceptional and the pool is sublime. The welcome was perfect and we even had small bites when we arrived. Matilde was available and even picked us up in Vernazza in the evening because there was no more grape train from a strike. Thank you again for the beautiful memories we bring with us forever.

From the moment we arrived at Idyll, the owners made us feel like we were home. Their hospitality was beyond amazing, and their warmth set a new standard for what every villa should strive to be. The property itself is one of the best we've ever stayed in, beautifully maintained and designed to ensure comfort and relaxation. However, it was owner's personal touch that made our experience truly unforgettable. One of the highlights of our stay was the incredible gastronomy experience they offer. We had one of the best meals we’ve ever had in Italy, prepared with care and passion. It wasn’t just a meal; it was a journey of flavors and heartwarming conversation. Matilde and Igor are not just hosts; they’re genuinely wonderful people who shared moments with us that will stay with us forever. We’ll be back one day, and until then, we will cherish this special time we spent at Villa Idyll.
