--- 🌟 Villa Locanda – A Hidden Gem on the Italian Riviera From the moment we arrived at Villa Locanda, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality. The hosts made us feel right at home, generously offering thoughtful local tips that helped shape an unforgettable stay. Each morning began with a delightful breakfast featuring homemade bread and pastries — the banana bread was a standout, rich and flavorful. It was the kind of meal that makes you linger at the table just a bit longer. One of the highlights was the scenic walk to Bogliasco, a charming coastal village with picturesque views and a relaxed vibe. Also, the villa is perfectly situated near the enchanting Passeggiata Anita Garibaldi, a breathtaking promenade that hugs the cliffs above the Ligurian Sea. It’s the perfect spot for a sunset stroll or a romantic evening walk. Villa Locanda is more than just a place to stay — it’s a place to slow down, savor local delights, and enjoy the beauty of the region through the eyes of those who know it best.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming bed and breakfast. The rooms were spotlessly clean and simply furnished. The sea is just a 10-minute walk away, which made it perfect for relaxing days by the water. The hosts were exceptionally kind and welcoming, always ready with excellent culinary tips and great recommendations for day trips in the area. Breakfast was a real highlight, anyone with a sweet tooth will be delighted! Each morning, up to six different homemade cakes were served, and every one of them was delicious (especially the lemon cake). We truly enjoyed our time here and would love to come back again.

Our stay at this small family hotel was simply unforgettable and easily deserves a 10/10. From the moment we arrived, the owners made us feel incredibly welcome. They were unbelievably helpful, providing fantastic, spot-on recommendations for everything – the best local restaurants, hidden gems to visit, and practical tips on navigating the area. Their advice truly enhanced our trip! And the breakfast... Amazing! Waking up to homemade bread and delicious cakes each morning was such a treat and the perfect start to our day. If you're looking for genuine Italian hospitality, a warm atmosphere, and expert local knowledge, look no further. We cannot recommend this place highly enough!

Just spent a week at this hidden gem and I must say the couple who run this B & B work super hard to keep it spotlessly clean! The homemade cakes & bread every morning are delicious 😋. They also offer eggs & bacon. They offer you tips on how to plan your days when visiting other towns and they just make you feel really welcome in their home. It is perfectly situated in a quiet street of Nervi but close to everything. You don’t need a car you can explore everywhere by foot or train. I 100% recommend it and if we go back to this area we would 100% stay again! Thank you for a fantastic week and we hope to come back. ❤️

The hosts were exceptionally gracious and helpful, treating the guests like invited guests to their lovely home without being at all intrusive. The area around the house is peaceful, as of now filled with the scent of honeysuckle and the songs of blackbirds. Lovely breakfast. Easy walk to the beautiful seafront promenade. Plenty of restaurants and the train station within an easy walk. For a comfortable and casual stay in a non-touristy town on a beautiful coast, one cannot do better.

Nothing to dislike.

Loved the accomadation on a private road in Nervi. Quiet , spotlessly clean , sunny garden with outside seating and wonderful home baking and cooked breakfast , bacon eggs ,waffles , focaccia and freshly baked bread. All hosted by a lovely helpful couple who spoke excellent English and who offered sightseeing advice as required. Short walk from Nervi station and prom.walk along the picturesque coast. Visited Genoa , Portofino, cinque terre and more.

Nothing at all.

The location was fabulous and the owners just incredibly helpful. Full of information and fascinating stories about Nervi. Owner even called restaurant for us to make a booking. Was made to feel so welcome. Room was beautiful in a quiet street. Everything so close. went on some great trails nearby and saw so much wildlife. Best stay ever x

Breakfast was served each morning with Silwa & Matthew personally taking orders. Really nice friendly environment. The house itself is very quiet, easy walk from the train and in a very nice town that has a lovely waterfront with excellent restaurants. Our original intent was was dine in Genova but Nervi so relaxing and such a great place to return home to, we ate there each evening (excellent restaurants - they will advise based on your desire). In my opinion, Nervi is a great base for many of the surrounding towns.

There's nothing not to like. The town is great. It's a 10 min walk from train which has super easy access to Genova. The team is excellent and they really know who to run a B&B. You won't be disappointed.

Upon returning from Portofino, I discovered this charming village by chance, and I must say, it surpassed my expectations and rivalled the beauty of Portofino itself. From the moment I arrived, the lovely couple managing the Locanda warmly welcomed me. Their kindness and hospitality truly made my stay unforgettable. The attention to detail in every aspect of their service was exceptional, making me feel right at home. The managing couple's impeccable hospitality and the Locanda's overall charm make it a destination I would highly recommend to anyone seeking a memorable and heartwarming stay. I look forward to returning and reliving the wonderful experience.

Comfortable and clean room. Quiet and relaxing neighborhood. Great hosts and freshly baked breakfast. You'll love it if you have a sweet tooth like mine. Matteo's omelette *chef's kiss* Nervi promenade is amazing.

Nervi city in general has bad smells in more busy areas. Also, due to limited restaurants (good ones), it was difficult to get a table without reservation a couple of days in advance.
