Nervi apartment
We had a wonderful stay in Nervi. The apartment is in a great location overlooking the harbor. Our host met us on arrival (at short notice we arrived earlier than scheduled and he was very accommodating). He spent time telling us about local places to eat and how to navigate the buses and trains. The apartment is beautiful and well equipped. Highly recommend!

This is a lovely and comfortable apartment in a really beautiful spot. The windows overlook a small picturesque bay with good food and beautiful walks along the ocean all right there, and close to public transport (but beware Italian train strikes!). The host was very helpful and responsive and everything was as described in the listing. I would love to go back again some day.

A Diamond By the Sea
Genova Nervi to me is better than Portofino. Colored buildings in a small cove/marina with a beach. 8 restaurants. 2 gelato bars, crepes, and a wine bar. Cove has own ferry dock to visit other towns on Italian Riviera like Portofino and Monterosso and beautiful wide walkway along the ocean to the train station nearby. Apartment is newly remodeled and lovely with view in middle of beach and ocean. Manager Riccardo responds to everything quickly - meets u at the train station - available to help u with any needs you require or ask of him. I can’t give anything lower than a perfect 10 rating for him and our time in Genova Nervi. You will enjoy the Italian food and people and places u can visit from this location.

This property has a wonderful view of the Ligurian Sea. There are good restaurants and gelato just steps from your front door. We really enjoyed our stay here. One word of caution - this property is on the second floor with no elevator and the steps are steep. If you have mobility concerns, you might want to try somewhere else.

Best host you'll ever meet, dreamy Seaside location
Riccardo is the most kind, soft-spoken and wonderful property host we have ever met. Full, open sea view in Nervi from the living room looks out at the beach, boat launch and local restaurants. Property has full kitchen, large rooms, fast-working air conditioner or fan. After booking, we immediately received maps, transportation information, recommendations. Slow, 10-minute walk along the Ligurian Sea from Nervi train station. Dinner at Halloween or Bagni Medusa. Boat trip to Camogli and Portofino. Long train ride to Cinque Terre or a short trip to Genoa. Supermarket and Pharmacie nearby. Go to the bakery up the hill for fresh, original foccacia or other treats. Enjoy your stay at the Fisherman's House!

Wonderful
The apartment is spacious and comfortable, luxurious even, and tasteful. Airco in every room, plenty of daylight, great kitchen and bathroom. All appliances in good order and easy to use. The view is 24/7 entertainment, with the lovely & lively harbour right at your feet. Plenty of choice from nice restaurants. Frequented mostly by locals and Italian visitors, Nervi is not as posh or touristic as Portofino etc. so that's a plus. And the acces to train, boat and beach is brilliant. So we could very much live with the few minor downsides: no parking spot near the house; noise from trains (back) and terraces (front) when windows are open; the canal down the street can be smelly; steep stairs (but compared to Amsterdam houses the stairs are perfectly fine..). Riccardo is the most gracious host who speaks English perfectly and goes out of his way to help with luggage and with tips and advice. In short: highly recommended!

It is exactly what I expected. Riccardo is an excellent host, give all necessary informations and help for what you need, as check in and check out, with the luggages. He left some kind amenities. The place is very good, excellent to live a typical Italian life in a porticciolo, but with travel facilities to travel around if you want to do regional tourism. The apartment is very nice , with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a nice and complete kitchen and room with sea view, and washing machine. The entrance has a sharp stair, he warned about that, just if you have a big problem of mobility talk to him before. Excellent holiday!!

Basing ourselves in Nervi for our visit to the Genoa Area was great. The accommodation is fantastic, we hardly wanted to explore beyond Nervi. There are views of the harbour from the accommodation, as well as great food at restaurants nearby. Riccardo was so helpful, making our stay even better.

Nervi - A Great Base to see the Ligurian Coast.
Riccardo emailed maps, notes and recommendations before our holiday so when we arrived we knew the area quite well. Nervi is a great base to see all the Ligurian coast has to offer. Great train links and short travel times make exploring easy. It was quiet in September and was still warm and dry. The apartment was spacious with a lovely lived in feel with super views of the small harbour and local restaurants. Riccardo was very attentive and a great host, full of ideas and suggestions and took the time to go through in detail the various maps and public transport information he had provided in the apartment. Highly recommend this property.

Just a fantastic apartment for our family’s first days on our first trip to Italy! Riccardo is a wonderful host; he met the four of us at the train station and walked us to the apartment which is even nicer than depicted here. He gave us quick tips on the local restaurants, all very nice (pay attention — he was right about everything!), how to catch the ferry for a lovely day trip to Camogli/SanFrutuosso/Portofino, how to catch the 17 bus to and from Genoa, how to walk to a local beach etc. We felt very welcomed and Riccardo’s help made our stay there perfect. The harbor area and restaurants are all very pleasant in the evenings, and it was easy and quick to get to Genoa and the Cinque Terre towns. Thank you Riccardo for making such great memories for us!

Perfect location for exploring the Italian Riviera
We happened upon this property at the end of our two-week vacation because we planned to stay in Piedmont but the temps were 10-15 degrees cooler on the sea - and we are so pleased with our decision! Our host, Riccardo, went above and beyond to make our stay and experience wonderful. First of all, Riccardo met us on the roundabout near the apartment and helped us find a parking spot and bring our luggage up two flights of stairs. We had a few issues that he resolved right away. The apartment is situated right on the sea with beautiful views and located near many restaurants as well as a walking path. Riccardo gave us instruction on how to visit the small town on the sea via train and ferry. We enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recommend this apartment.

Gorgeous Views from an Amazing Apartment
Let's first start with what a wonderful host Riccardo is. We've met with dozens of hosts, but Riccardo is a cut above. He literally spent over an hour going over the apartment, sites to see in the area, which specific trains to catch, restaurant recommendations, everything. By the time he was finished we had revised all of our plans. I can't emphasize how a caring and knowledgeable host like Riccardo can make your holiday so much more enjoyable. Thank you Riccardo!! Now, as to the apartment, I could just say look at the pictures. But its even better and larger than the pictures. Plus you can't smell the sea breeze or hear the gentle lapping of the waves! I never knew my wife was a beach person, but every morning she would open the large windows to listen to the waves. The kitchen is fantastic and enormous by Italian standards - as is the main shower which will fit 4 or 5 people!! Both bedrooms are also large - with Air Con in BOTH!! How luxurious is that. The location is also amazing - I must have gotten fried calamari at Fritolando downstairs at least 5 or 6 times. If you like long walks along the sea - well, Nervi is the perfect place for you. We will definitely be staying here again.

Absolutely fabulous
One of the best if not the best rental we have ever stayed in. We have rented many places in Europe and the Fisherman's house has EVERYTHING. The photos do it justice but you have to experience the views to really appreciate it. Nervi is a gorgeous unspoilt very Italian village. We didn't hear another English voice. Despite being in the middle of the pandemic, which made it quieter than normal,we had an amazing time. The apartment is immaculate and Riccardo had left everything we needed,hand wash,shower creme,loo rolls , kitchen roll and more towels than you could ever use,plus beach towels and a parasol. There is so much to do in the area and with the train station a short walk along the coastel path we were able to go everywhere,4 Cinque terre villages in one day,S. Margherita,Portofino,Bogliasco,Camogli and a day in Genoa. And of course the little beach in front of the house. Riccardo gave us lots of tips,and was right about Chicos gelato and the nearby focaccia and Pizza. We found that everyone observed the covid restrictions and mask wearing was widespread. We felt safer in Italy than at home We had lots of on line conversation with Riccardo because of all the changes this year and he was so lovely and so helpful. He met us at the station and helped with the bags and offered to do the same on returning. Riccardo ,my husband, daughter,and myself want to say a big thank you for the use of your beautiful house,in your beautiful village,in a beautiful part of Italy. It was touch and go that we would be able to travel at all but it was the highlight of an otherwise difficult year. We still have more to see so will return in the future.
