About this property

Next to Portofino, fantastic location

The living room's balcony overlooks at the tiny beach; the property is really “pied dans l’eau"

The house is an example of the late XIX century holiday villa of the Italian Riviera, built above its boathouse, has always starting point for beautiful canoe trips.
It is ideal for relaxed and refined holidays.
The position is very special between the green wooded hills and the sea, the flat overlooks a small public beach, that can be reached by a short path. It's next to the beautiful Paraggi bay, with its sand beach, amazing green transparent water, tiny village and exclusive villas.
A mild weather all year round, allows to enjoy walks along the sea and on the hills, or to shop in fashionable Portofino and Santa Margherita boutiques to lounge in a restaurant terrace.

From the boathouse below the flat you could appreciate the beauty of Portofino Marine Park in the best possible way: paddling, rowing, with 'outdoorportofino' .
By a short walk (or by bus) you will reach Portofino with fashionable shops, very nice and romantic outdoor cafés and restaurants.

It is included in the natural park of Portofino that features beautiful walks in different environments due to the special biodiversity of flora and fauna, with stunning views on the sea and steep cliffs.
If you like trekking, this is an amazing area with stunning landscapes: we highly recommend the classic trip to Portofino - San Fruttuoso Abbey, which leaves directly from the house or comfortably by ferry from Portofino.

A gem on the Ligurian coast .. hiking .. beach .. sea
This is a very special and quirky property located on the floor above the boathouse. Very spacious with large bedrooms and bathrooms a beautiful view .. if you like to hike in the mountains there are lots of trails straight from the house .. with a parking space you can explore the area by car or there is a bus stop right outside to get to Portofino for a night of glamour or a low key night out in Santa Margherita.. Right on the beach you can enjoy the day in the beautiful sea .. or take a sea kayak .. Giancarla and her sister were lovely .. very helpful - on what was on in the area .. thank you for a wonderful stay .. we hope to come back ..

Host profile image
My grand-grand-father, from Genoa, both the flat with the boathouse for give to his ten sons the opportunity to grow up healthy and strong, swimming, rowing and hiking in stunning landscapes. In the XIX century, Portofino was a little fisherman village, unknown from the newborn tourism. The only other tourists was two English brother and them family, living in the two castle of the area Castello Paraggi, in front of Niasca and castello Brown immediately above Portofino. Nowadays a natural park and the protected bay of Paraggi bring back to the enchant of those days. As my grandfather, my mother, my sisters, I spent all the summers of my childhood in Niasca
