About this property

Magnificent apartment located in a quiet hillside just above Rapallo

Ledner home is nestled in a hill located just above Rapallo. The town can be reached on foot in a few minutes.

It is an elegant apartment of 140 square meters, owned by the same family for three generations. Outside the apartment is a magnificent and large terrace facing west with views of Rapallo, the bay and the surrounding hills. The apartment is on the first floor of a stately home from the 50s newly renovated and has central heating for the winter months. The house is traditionally in use by non-smokers, with no pets. Our private garage for 1 car is available.

At this exceptional moment we are particularly happy to be able to offer our spacious terrace, which allows you to enjoy the beautiful spring, summer and autumn days lying in the sun, in the shade, or comfortably seated at the outside table under the pergola of the vineyard adjacent to the reading room. The robust WiFi connection also allows home office practice, both in the green exterior area and in the bright interior rooms. This is a great advantage in times of social distancing.

Rapallo is located on the Gulf of Tigullio. The surrounding resort area extends Eastward to Porto Venere and Westward to 5 Terre and Portovenere. It 's very close and well connected by sea and land to Sestri Levante, Chiavari, Zoagli, Santa Margherita, Portofino and Camogli. Genoa airport is only 40 Km. away.

WONDERFUL STAY
Great communication with owner prior to arrival.The information given to us regarding area, rental unit, directions and check in procedures were detailed and accurate. We had a group of 5 adult family members checking in, so we coordinated all of our different travel plans to arrive at 16:00. Tiziana met us at the unit, and gave us a thorough tour of of the unit and beautiful grounds. She shared with us information regarding local stores, restaurants, beaches and transportation portals. This information was extremely helpful throughout our 10 day stay. The unit was spacious and comfortable. 3 large bedrooms, 2 baths, and 2 large living areas. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of plates, cups and cooking utensils.The outdoor terraces were covered with plants, grape vines, and boasted beautiful views overlooking the town of Rapallo. With 5 adults sharing this unit, we could have used a few more towels, although we made due with washing several times to keep up with the shortage. The weather stayed in the mid 90's our entire stay, but we did ok staying cool with the 2 portable AC's. The unit is situated up on steep hill with a private drive, only available for small vehicles. Upon checking out, we arranged for our private car/driver to meet us at the bottom of the road, for it would have been difficult for larger vehicle to get up/down. We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful private unit. We would love to return and stay again. Thank you Silvio and Tiziana.

Light and spacious apartment
A light and airy apartment with amazing views over Rapallo from the terrace, and spectacularly from the living room. Agree with some of the reviews that we were using someone’s holiday home, so not a bland and pristine holiday let. There is a steep climb up from Rapallo, and also up the apartment steps from the road but doable even for a couple in their seventies! Loved Rapallo for it’s lively centre, and the recommendations in the guest book for restaurants and sourcing of fresh local food were spot on. We had some delicious fresh pasta suppers on the terrace accompanied by some excellent local wine. Rapallo is a great hub from which to reach lovely coastal towns and beaches by boat or by the excellent train service. And Genova is only half an hour away by train. Thank you Silvio and Christina

Rapallo
The communication with the owner was excellent. He was very nice and made sure the check-in process was easy and very clear. The property is pretty much as photographed. It is spacious with a lovely terrace. There is a small table and chairs outside under a beautiful trellises. If you want to utilize the terrace by day there are beach chairs at the apartment. It is pretty dated but the photos show that. There are two portable AC units which can be moved from room to room as needed and since it was extremely hot we needed to move them around to cool down the apartment. It’s a walk uphill and upstairs from town so you will get your excersice.

Wonderful place to say in Rapallo
We enjoyed our stay in the Casa Ledner very much. The view from the terrasse is spectacular and the breakfast area under the pergola was just fantastic. We arrived when the grapes had already grown, and the Jasmin was in full bloom. The scent was heavenly. The apartment is very spacious and has three large bedrooms. The wonderful terrasse was overlooking Rapallo, the harbour and the city. The kitchen is small, but well equipped. We also enjoyed being surrounded by original artworks by Mr. Ledner who painted beautiful landscapes of the area. The apartment is very close to Rapallo centre and to the beach. Walking down takes 5 minutes, up a bit longer as the climb is very steep. The garage is an adventure. We came with an Opel Combo – a medium-size car but not as large as a SUV/VAN. We did eventually fit into the parking space but getting in was a challenge. Also due to the narrowness of the passage into the garage. Therefore, once we had it parked, we did not touch it anymore until we departed. Instead, we walked and took the train. Parking around the area is rare for any car larger than a Fiat Cinquecento. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa Ledner and will return in the future. With a smaller car. 😊

Nice apartment in a beautiful location. Short walk down to town and close to all amenities such as s
We were given a nice reception by Tiziana she showed us the whole apartment and informed us of all the necessities. We had a nice stay and a perfect starting point for excursions to the Cinque Terre, Portofino, Cenova. Short way down to town, but with a pram it could be a bit tiring up the slopes of the apartment. Many thanks to Christina and Silvio for a great stay.

Geschmackvolles Mid-Century Apartment mit schönem Blick
Großzügige Wohnung mit toller, üppig begrünter Terrasse auf mehreren Ebenen. Wir (Eltern & Teenager-Tochter) haben uns wohlgefühlt in dem etwas historischen und künstlerischen Ambiente, das mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet ist, umgekehrt aber auch von den Gästen einen entsprechend wertschätzenden Umgang erwartet. Am Hang gelegen, was gut ist für die Aussicht - und die Kondition. Rapallo ist durch die Bahnverbindung ein großartiger Standort für die Erkundung der gesamten Küste zwischen Genua und La Spezia.

Tolle Ferienwohnung
Die Wohnung ist sehr gross und gut ausgestattet. Die Einrichtung ist zwar alt, aber sauber und alles funktioniert. Meerblick hat man nur von der unteren Terrasse aus. Das WLAN ist stabil und super schnell. Man gelangt in 5-10 Min. zum Meer und zu einem grossen Lebensmittel-Laden. Der Rückweg dauert länger, da die Wohnung am Hang liegt. Die Vermieter sind sehr professionell, freundlich und schnell. Alles bestens, herzlichen Dank!

Entspannter Aufenthalt in schöner Umgebung
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen mit wunderschönem Garten schönem Ausblick. In knapp 10 Minuten war das Zentrum und Meer zu Fuß erreicht , der Weg zurück dauerte dann etwas länger, da es doch ein Anstieg war. Wir wurden freundlich und kompetent empfangen und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Garage ist unbedingt notwendig aber nur für kleine Autos oder sehr geübte Fahrer

Tolles, riesiges Appartement mit parkähnlicher Terrasse und schöner Aussicht auf Rapallo und die Bucht. Alles vorhanden was man braucht und der Checkin verlief Reibungslos. Innenstadt und Bucht in 10 Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar - steiler Anstieg. Garage ist nicht für Kombis oder größere SUVs geeignet (Seat Ateca ist gerade so und mit viel rangieren rein und wieder reingegangen). Sehr gerne wieder, war eine schöne Zeit! Vielen Dank für alles!

Great place to stay in Rapallo
We had a great time in Rapallo, and staying in this apartment was just wonderful. Everything was very well organized. Our favorite place was the main terrace. What a view - and what a beautiful garden! We had many lovely meals in the nice living room, and enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere in the apartment The appartement worked very well for our family. The only challenge was that my husband had rented a too big car. We could use the garage, but there was not much space left. The placement of the appartement suited our plans well. We had short way to both supermarked, bus, trains and we got to see a lot of the area. We had a great holiday week, and would love to come back. Vivian, Oslo

A Wonderful Stay in Rapallo
The apartment in Rapallo is perfectly situated up in the hills a short walk from the downtown area. It is in a gorgeous area and very quiet. The walk from downtown is not far but it could be challenging for anybody with some mobility problems. The apartment is large, bright with large windows and very clean. The garden where you can have breakfast, lunch or dinner is remarkably beautiful. I think it must be one of the finest gardens in Rapallo. Rapallo is a beautiful Italian town that is not overwhelmed by tourists. It is a great central point to stay in Italy and easy to travel by train to so many beautiful places. We found a couple of public beaches were we loved swimming. We loved Rapallo and loved the apartment.

Homely house, lovely views, perfect holiday
We have just returned from two weeks in Rapallo staying at Silvio and Christina’s apartment. It was one of our best ever holidays. The apartment is as shown in the photos and is very spacious. Mind you, when we were there we spent most of our time on the terrace under the luscious grape vine enjoying the breeze (when we had some!) and the peace and the view. The terrace/garden is on two levels and there are three sun beds although the terrace is never all in full sun as there is plenty of shade. The garden has lots of ferns and succulents and Silvio has an automatic sprinkling system that works over night to keep the garden looking green. The apartment feels like a home. The kitchen has lots of handy gadgets and there are bits and pieces such as flour, oil, coffee bags which are useful. Yes it's not all mod cons (no dishwasher, no air con and the Wifi signal isn't great) but the apartment has plenty of character. As you can see from the photos, the apartment is up a steep hill but it keeps you fit and the views are worth it. We really liked Rapallo. It is an ideal place to be based in this area as there are buses, trains and boats taking you to nearby towns, beaches and to Genova so there is lots to do. There are also lots of guidebooks and leaflets in the house giving useful information. A must is to take a boat trip to Portofino which we found to be less touristy than we’d imagined. We also enjoyed going to Zoagli, Santa Marguerita and other bays along the coast. It is well worth going up the cable car in Rapallo. You gain height very quickly and there are spectacular views over the bay. There are also two restaurants and a bar at the top and some lovely walks - you can come down on a well-marked path although we took the easy option down! We didn't do a lot of sitting on beaches but there are plenty of free ones to choose from. We liked the Castle Beach and had a swim there as part of our morning routine (supermarket, café and then a swim before the young people of the house had surfaced!). All in all this was a very successful holiday for us - even our children, now 19 and 21 - were pleased they'd come with us! Thank you Silvio and Christina for allowing us to stay in your house - I'm sorry we didn't get to meet you. And thank you also to Tiziana for showing us around at the start and for being nearby in case we needed you. The Earnshaws

Wohnung mit Charme und Gartenparadies
Die Wohnung liegt am Berg. Von der großen und wunderbar bepflanzten Terrasse hat man einen tollen Blick auf Rapallo und Meer. Die Stadtmitte und Uferpromenade sind gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Die Wohnung ist eine günstiger Ausgangspunkt für Besuche nach Portofino, Santa Margaritha und Cinque Terre. Gute Tipps zur Erkundung der Gegend und Kartenmaterial liegen in der Wohnung vor und sind sehr wertvoll. Übergabe und Kommunikation waren unkompliziert, sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es ist eine große, alte, helle und gepflegte Wohnung und strahlt eine friedliche Atmosphäre aus. Uns ist aufgefallen, dass die Wohnung trotz der heißen Mittagssonne kühl bleibt, was sehr angenehm war.

Masser af atmosfære, lige hvad vi havde brug for.
Lejligheden ligger helt perfekt med udsigt over byen, og alt fungerede som forventet. Et råd til fremtidige lejere. Bil er ikke nødvendig, men hvis man alligevel lejer bil, husk at leje en lille bil, da det er svært at komme op ad bakken og ind i garagen med en større bil.
