Right from booking to being met by Chiara and her father, visiting Lerici and the apartment was a good experience. We came to where the flat was located by car from Bologna Airport. Chiara contacted us in advance and her Father was waiting to greet us, very thoughtful. We we're charmed by the flat, typical older style, high ceilings, great balcony with fabulous views of Lerici Castle and the boats in the harbour in the distance. The flat was huge for two people clean, fresh and everything worked perfectly. In a safe location with access to an excellent small nearby supermarket. We were given a private parking space off the road in a secure location less than two minutes away. The town centre and harbour were only a few minutes walk away where access to the trips and tours start from. There was a small amount of traffic sounds at night but we only noticed it because we come from a very quiet home and not used to any sounds at all. We would highly recommend Chiara's facilities as good value for money especially as the bed was really comfortable, bed linen and towels fresh and new and the layout of the flat worked perfectly. A great adventure finding the best restaurants, beaches, gelati & local markets. Check out was great especially as we left at seven in the morning! We felt really at home, a lovely stay.
