Description

A brand new, classy bed and breakfast. However, it has a long-standing tradition of hospitality.

Three high-quality themed rooms in a charming setting. Located in a completely renovated ancient Genoese house, just a stone's throw from the sea but immersed in the peace and tranquility of olive-covered hills. Carla's bed and breakfast is situated in the San Bernardo district, amidst typical Ligurian alleyways and ruins of medieval fortresses, which have developed into a delightful small village with an unmatched view of the Sestri Levante peninsula and the Gulf of Portofino.

As previously mentioned, novelty and tradition coexist. In fact, the bed and breakfast is located on the upper floor of the ancient trattoria Da Carla, owned by the Muzio family for fifty years and synonymous with quality and respect for the typical flavors of Ligurian cuisine for half a century.

For those who choose to stay in one of the three rooms, there is the possibility of having lunch or dinner in the trattoria below: pesto, pansoti in walnut sauce, cima, bread and focaccia, all strictly handmade in-house, following the oldest Ligurian culinary tradition.

Very nice place in the mountains. The host is very nice and helpful. A little far from town. Otherwise perfect.

Friendly owner but should be more present, does not stay on site. And suggestion to put a fridge in the rooms, because the small fridge in the break room is too little for 3 rooms. Good repetitive breakfast. Expensive for what it is.

Simply top. Super friendly reception and for one or two nights totally fine. The owner left us the key because we arrived only at night. Very considerate and great service.

The B&B Da Carla is a very pleasant place, in a quiet village above Sestri Levante. Comfortable and extremely clean room. The breakfast is very plentiful (fruit, cold cuts, pastries, yogurt, coffee, and fruit juice). The lady who welcomed us and served breakfast is very friendly. In short, three very enjoyable days!

Chiara was very kind and helpful. The room was lovingly decorated with small details. Homemade cake rounded off the delicious breakfast. In the evening, we could call Chiara and were promptly picked up and taken back to the B&B. We really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended!

My husband and I had a great time at this property, immersed in greenery and total tranquility. The room was very nice, well-kept, and clean, and the bathroom impressed us with the large shower. Mrs. Carla is very nice and kind, ready to meet every request. The breakfast is the best, with all fresh products of every kind, cakes, cold cuts, cheeses, and plenty of fruit. The location is really beautiful; no matter where you turn, there is something beautiful to admire, from the olive groves to the vineyards, the village of San Bernando, and its church that deserves a visit. We would have never left.

Very quiet location, except for the church located right next to the B&B, which however does not ring at night. Very beautiful view, surrounded by greenery and yet quickly accessible to the city. Very kind landlady who fulfills all wishes.

Historical activity of the small hillside village near the church where a noisy but fun tombola took place that evening. Rooms, services, and hospitality are excellent as well as the very good and plentiful breakfast. Would I go back? Definitely yes!

We were very satisfied, but we only stayed for 1 night. The room and the bathroom were very nice, with air conditioning. However, the location is very remote, you cannot walk to the city center. Nonetheless, it was very quiet. Unfortunately, upon arrival we had to wait over 1 hour for the landlady and we did not have a current phone number to call her.

I stayed at the B&B Da Carla for 5 nights and I really enjoyed my stay. I found the cleanliness perfect, courtesy and great willingness to meet my requests and I didn't miss anything at all. The location is great, you can enjoy a wonderful view, very close to the sea (just 10 minutes by car), away from the chaos, on a hill, convenient parking, breakfast in the garden when possible... and at a very affordable price. I hope to be able to visit the surroundings of the structure as well, there must be some nice trekking routes.

Warm welcome, new rooms with very comfortable bathroom, very quiet. The attached restaurant offers a local land cuisine with a winning menu and the tasty pansotti freshly prepared by Mrs. Carla. Excellent host Chiara who welcomes Customers with professionalism and courtesy. Highly recommended.

Chiara made available to our family an apartment adjacent to the B&B Da Carla. The traditional but extremely well-kept furnishings, the impeccable level of cleanliness allowed us to enjoy the experience of staying in a 'family' house with the flavor of yesteryears, with the priceless view of the Sestri bay on one side, and the hills on the other side of the house. We were also able to take a peek at one of the three rooms of the B&B: very cute. We dined on the terrace of the Carla trattoria (from which the B&B) where we could appreciate the typical local cuisine, in an equally well-kept and relaxed atmosphere. An excellent choice for those who want to enjoy Sestri Levante from the characteristic nearby hinterland. We will not fail to return very soon.

Great location. Very cozy night area, clean and peaceful environment. Abundant and assorted breakfast. We had dinner and Mrs. Carla is an excellent cook. Homestyle and typical Ligurian cuisine. To go back.

The owner was very kind; following a change in the number of guests (initially we had booked for 3, then we became 5!), she immediately arranged for us to find another spacious apartment, located just behind B&B Da Carla. It is an apartment in an old house, but well adapted; terrace with a wonderful view of Sestri. The house is on a hill, absolutely immersed in tranquility (and this is a pro); unfortunately, it is necessary to take the car to go to the beach and this can become a parking nightmare, but it can be managed with a bit of determination! The breakfast is good, although I have a suggestion for the attentive owner regarding the needs of intolerant guests (my niece is celiac and lactose has recently been causing her problems, and at breakfast she had soy milk cappuccino and gluten-free toast available): a freshly prepared gluten-free dessert would be the cherry on top, considering that non-intolerant guests instead have a wide choice of cakes.

Very nice B&B, managed by very kind and helpful people, located on a hill with a beautiful sea view but still close to the beach the bay of silence.

patrizia

We had a wonderful and pleasant surprise upon our arrival in the room, having announced that the stay was on the occasion of our wedding, Chiara embellished the four-poster bed with hearts, scented candles, flower petals, and sinuous 'swans', making these days even more beautiful and unforgettable. Thank you Chiara.

The managers are kind and very friendly, both the cleanliness, the breakfast, and the view are excellent. We give a very positive outcome to the B&B Da Carla, it is located 10 minutes from the center and the seafront.
