Beachfront vacation rentals in Northeast Italy

Great location, unspoilt and felt like 1950s Italy. Nice restaurants a short walk away and a short walk into Rapallo. The bay by the apartment was our favourite part with crystal clear water and a little bar selling ice creams, coffee and aperol spritz at weekends. Will definitely return, thank you!

great place and super friendly host

Triple view balcony the best in corniglia, elisa’s apartment was even better than on pictures. Very spacious clean and well decorated with everything we needed. We absolutely loved it, yes the stairs are a bit steep but so are all the stairs in cinque terre but the views were incredible on one side the hill over looking at the village of San barnardin, on the right the heart of the village of corniglia fantastic for people watching and to the left overlooking the sea we had many lovely dinner and apéritivo there and we can only recommend highly this apartment.

We had four wonderful days in Cristiana’s apartment. She met us upon arrival and gave us a warm welcome. She showed us the apartment and shared helpful tips about the area and other practical things. The view of the sea and the town from the balcony was fantastic. We spent many lovely moments there. The apartment had a great location – just a short walk to get groceries, enjoy a coffee or glass of wine, or go out for dinner. It was also very close to the beautiful hiking trails. We are very happy with our stay in Cristiana’s apartment. Thank you so much for having us!

I stayed in this beautiful apartment with friends to celebrate an important milestone. The view from the house is absolutely spectacular and falling asleep with the swaying of the sea was unique. Special thanks go to Elena, who is always present, attentive and super helpful... thank you very much. Highly recommended

We had a fantastic stay! The place was exactly as described: clean, comfortable, and inviting. The water pressure and hot water were excellent, and the bed was super comfy. The views were absolutely amazing and made our mornings and evenings extra special. The location was perfect, just a short, easy drive into central Menaggio. Riccardo was an incredibly friendly and responsive host, which made everything smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend!

What a fantastic place. Paolo met us at the train station to help us with our luggage and guide us to the apartment. Gave us great recommendations on how to spend our 3 days. Honestly I’m not sure I can imagine a better place in Riomaggiore. The flat is on the top floor with a great terrace that is shaded in the evening looking right down on the cove with a beautiful view of the water. We had happy hour up there every night. Everything was clean and modern. Having 2 levels created a lot of space in the apartment. Would stay there again in a heartbeat if coming back to Riomaggiore.

An exceptional place with an incredible view! This apartment is simply magical. After a day exploring the wonders around Lake Como, it was a real pleasure to return to this warm cocoon. The views are breathtaking, and the atmosphere of the place is peaceful and rejuvenating. We were welcomed with great kindness and generosity, which made our stay even more special. Honestly, we didn't want to leave! An unforgettable experience in a unique location.

We felt very comfortable at Alenka and Diego's and enjoyed the time there with a great view of the sea to the fullest. Unfortunately, we did not use it because of the bad and then somewhat too cold weather. We were mainly in the garden next to the kitchen. The parking lot for the car is right next to the entrance. Alenka and Diego are very hospitable and helpful. The fridge was filled with delicious food when we arrived. It is a quiet location and nice area. The neighbor was also immediately courteous when she realized we were guests. Our dog also enjoyed the fenced garden and so it was relaxing for us. All in one, a beautiful relaxing vacation with fantastic views. Thank you both for your kindness.

Top house, The holiday was one of the best we had. Perfect as a family. Very quiet location, despite ongoing construction work next door No disturbing noises. Luca was always helpful and available, nothing was missing. Thank you Luca! I would be happy to come back.

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 beachfront 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.

Alessandra was absolutely amazing, not only while we were there, but leading up to our stay. It felt like we made a friend in Italy. She was friendly, communicative, and helpful! The airline lost our bags and she kept checking in to see if we had an update. She truly went above and beyond! The Airbnb was so clean and welcoming! Right across the street from Lake Como! Beautiful area! Would recommend to anyone!

Responsive host, lovely place to stay. As described. We would love to return again in the future.

The greeting upon arrival was excellent, we were offered an upgrade as some guests had cancelled due to weather, a nice gesture! The appartment was well furnished, clean and very comfortable. The location is excellent. Far enough from the busy touristic Bellagio but close enough to walk. The ferry pick up is just steps away. The grounds are immaculate and large enough to get a good run in every morning (5km) track style staying on the stone path that twirls the 42 hectar property. The grounds allow you great views of Tremezzo and Villa Carlotta accross the Lake and you can swim if the tempersture permits on the stairs that access the Lake. This is really a great place to stay! Ryan and Karine

We have rarely arrived on vacation so quickly from the stressful workday as here. The property is incredibly beautiful and painstakingly laid out, the pool house and outdoor kitchen are equipped with high-quality equipment, the swimming pond is more than generous and the kilometer-wide view of nature is simply breathtaking. It doesn't feel like sterile guest accommodation, but like a really relaxing home. Deniza and Martin are warm-hearted people who make you feel comfortable, familiar and welcome from the first encounter. Thank you for the great hospitality - we look forward to the next time!

The view was phenomenal! the residence was clean and full of amenities. would DEFINITELY come back to Michele’s apartment!

If this place is available , STOP looking ! It’s breathtaking ! The whole apartment is gorgeous but the view from both the small terrace and the huge one is heaven . Unobstructed views all around . Literally 360 degree view of paradise . Everything was perfect . Thank you so much Anna

Wonderful stay and the view is amazing. The hosts are proactive and went extra mile to ensure not only my stay at their place but also the visit to Varenna is comfortable. They even went out of way to inform me that the trains are not working on the day of my vacating and in case I plan to leave Varenna, they suggested alternate modes and booking details. Very responsive, and kind to respond to me even at 11 pm in the night. The place is clean and cute with all you may need for a great stay. The bed is comfortable. The cute note they shared while vacating, and a beautiful handwritten“thank you “ note sealed the deal for me ❤️

Our stay on Acla Apartments was beautiful. We were over the water and close to the things to do down town. We did have lots of stairs but living on the water in this area we didn’t expect anything different. Other reviews informed us of all the stairs so not unexpected. The host was great in explaining everything around the area. She was very informative about how to ride the trains within the region of Cinque Terre. Beautiful area and very laid back. Thanks for sharing.

I don't know what to say.... The whole thing was perfect. Entering through the gate with the car and seeing our beautiful little yard, surrounded by a jasmine hedge and full of flowers shaded by olive trees right on the lakefront was amazing. In the apartment, the windows that looked right out onto the lake made it feel like there was a living painting... with sound when we left the window open. I would like to address the low ceilings in bedroom and bathroom. It is true, they are low and we are tall so we did have to duck a bit at the head of the bed and in the toilet area but it was COMPLETELY fine. The kitchen was quite well equipped and we made a bunch of lovely meals there. It was a beautiful walk along a sidewalk but then mostly along the beautiful lakefront promenade into town and we walked a few times a day with no difficulty to the ferry, the grocery store, the lungolago. Best of all was Giampaolo's mom who was AMAZING as was her strudel. A beautiful lady!!!! Perfect!

We loved staying at Bianca’s! The views, the beach vibes and the easy access to either Santa margherita/portofino or rapallo was great. The apartment has a lot of charm and has been in Bianca’s family for the last 100 years! Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the views and vibes even more

The hosts were very responsive and great. The apartment was sunny, airy, overlooked the ocean, and also close to the restaurants. Would love to come back.

Grazie mille Mateo! This apartment is perfetta. Sitting atop the hill- secluded from the street below with views of the bay- this place is one of the best in town! Close enough to walk to town but far enough from the crowds. Mateo’s place is also great to stay put and enjoy the views from the terrace & garden as well. Thank you for sharing with us!

Simply a wonderful place to stay! The apartment is beautifully situated with stunning views of the bay. It is exactly as it looks in the photos! Luca was an exceptional host - extremely helpful and responsive, there is nothing he could have done better. The property is well appointed and a tranquil refuge on this stunning coastline. I cannot recommend highly enough and will definitely be back!
