We stayed in this house for a week with our dog at the end of July 2024. We loved everything about it. The host, Remo, and his wife are very hospitable and warm people. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The room had a wonderful view of the sea. Breakfasts were excellent - with yogurt, fruit, croissants with jam, and coffee with juice. The view from the breakfast balcony was a separate visual pleasure every morning. The location itself is very quiet and peaceful, perfect for those seeking solitude with nature.

There wasn't anything that we strongly disliked, but there are a couple of things that could be improved. The Wi-Fi didn't always work well (although, in a way, that might be a good thing for a vacation). Additionally, we missed having a refrigerator in the room (though you can use the large fridge on the breakfast balcony). Lastly, if you don't have a car, getting from the sea back up to the house can be challenging.

The sea view, the beautiful terrace, the big spacious room, very kind and friendly host. I booked last minute, on the way to Liguria. It’s a drive up the hill (best if you have a car) and a little bit difficult to find the last street although it’s well indicated with boards. We had our dogs with us and they could stay for free, we could park the car in the garage. Very calm and quiet, relaxing place. It’s a good location to discover Liguria and the beaches.

Absolutely adorable BnB, run by a very sweet couple who spoke to me in full Italian, which I understood mainly from context clues ('frizzante' must mean fizzy water, breakfast is from 8 as she's holding up 8 fingers...). The balcony for breakfast has one of the best views I have seen in my life. It's extremely high up, 150m climb up a zig-zag road followed by about 100 steps, so not for the elderly and unfit. But so worth it. Felt very secure and comfortable. My room actually had bunk beds in too, so slept 4, and was enormous. Not glamourous, but not dirty at all. The breakfast was extensive, an egg, almond croissant, coffee, apricot, walnuts, yoghurt, biscuit-crackers things, etc. I would love to go back one day and experience the couple's hospitality again.

Nothing wrong with the BnB itself. Just a warning about Pieve - Pieve Ligure is gorgeous, basically vertical, but has no shops/restaurants - you have to walk ~30 minutes to Sori which is a cute fishing village. There there are about 5-10 restaurants, including an excellent one on the beach: La Battigia, open in the evenings. The quickest way back to Il Gabbiano is up steps for 20 minutes, which is quite intense.

Great view from the breakfast terrace! Super nice hosts , very welcoming and caring. Clean spacious room. Not far from Genova which can be reached easily by public transport

Not really something we did not like

We had a wonderful stay at this B&B. The hosts were incredibly kind and helpful, going above and beyond what we expected from them. The location is beautiful with an amazing view (though it’s a little ways up from the beach if you don’t have a car! The hosts were kind enough to pick us up from Sori or Pieve). A beautiful vista during breakfast – and if you get up early enough, maybe you’ll see the deer who comes visit!

Views were superb, our host was so accomodating and caring. He cooked us fresh eggs from the chickens in the garden, fresh coffee and delicious pastries. He was very accomodating with our late check-in and our laid back schedule. The garden is full of fruit trees and it is so peaceful. We can only recommend staying here! So lovely.

Not much to say. It is quite a windy road up to the accommodation but with a car it's fine and it's worth the beautiful 360 views of the ocean!

Nice ground floor rooms with garden and sea view. Hosts Raymond and Maribel are friendly and helpful - particularly with lifts up and down. Excellent breakfast - fruit eggs cheese ham croissants coffee and more.

Nothing

Beatiful view. Spacious room. Very nice garden. Very good shower with a very hot water.

The breakfast was very basic (no eggs, one basic type of cheese, no veggies - like everywhere in the area). No kettle or access to tea in the evening. It's very difficult to reach this place by car (very narrow mountain road inside a village), so no possibility to go out at night/evening. The host is nice, but doesn't speak a word in English.

Nice and peaceful place, away from the traffic and noise. The view is nice and the owners friendly. They made the stay easy and relaxing.

Nice rooms, wonder full view and garden, good breakfast, cannot expect better
