Very well located and well-kept B&B. Alessandra was very warm and provided us with a lot of information/tips and recommendations for activities and restaurants. It's a beautiful spot in Liguria to explore and the B&B comes highly recommended. It's a bit off the beaten path, but also very suitable for a relaxing day in the beautiful garden.

We had a short break in this adorable country house. Perhaps it was the off-season or the strange situation we have all been living lately, but being the only guests there during our 4-day stay. We felt like the place was all ours, which for us was fantastic. We had the 2-bedroom apartment plus a private terrace with breathtaking views. We visited many places by car (Portofino, Genova) and others by train (CINQUE TERRE/LA SPEZIA), all easily reachable from the structure. Alessandra and her husband were wonderful hosts and would definitely recommend their beautiful country house to friends and family.

stayed from 10/19/2020 to 10/23/2020

The answer from the host:
Dear Claudia, thank you so much for your kind review! Gianluca and I are glad you enjoyed your vacation in Liguria and you choose Villa Paggi for your stay. Hoping to welcome you again, Kind regards, Alessandra.

The answer from the host:
Gentilissima Mirella, è stato un piacere ospitavi e la ringraziamo tanto per la bella recensione. Cari saluti, Alessandra e Gianluca.

massimo

We stayed 3 nights in this location and we can only recommend it without problems. Every aspect is endorsed without hesitation. Everything is beautiful, the structure, the rooms, the view, even the blonde lady who tidies up the rooms. The owners are very helpful and pleasant people to chat with. Very attentive to cleanliness and hygiene in every situation. The breakfast room is very nice and the food offered is good and varied, from sweets to cakes to small surprises every different day. Yes, the road is not the best but just go slowly and be careful and there are no problems. We stayed with the holiday bonus but we were pampered as if we were long-time customers. We will definitely come back.

Gentile Sig Massimo, grazie mille per la bella e dettagliata recensione. È stato un piacere coccolarvi, come per ogni nostro Ospite gentile e simpatico, non importa se arrivato per una notte o cliente storico. Gianluca ed io ci auguriamo di rivedervi presto a Villa Paggi. Alessandra.

Cozy structure, competent and friendly managers. A little piece of paradise emerged between hill and sea. The only sin is that the road to get there is not the best but this is not their fault.

Very beautiful structure, splendid views. The managers are very friendly and reliable, and the apartment is spacious and comfortable, and the highlight is the large terrace. The location is also excellent, which, despite being elevated, allows you to reach the main coastal towns in 10 minutes. It would be nice to come back in autumn to see how the panorama changes.

masssimo

To try for the excellent welcome, the willingness to tell us and explain what to visit and taste in the surroundings. The structure is new, with a beautiful panoramic view; in the evening it seems to see from the windows of an airplane all the way to the sea. Breakfast, prepared with homemade products, from sweets to fruit - is a great satisfaction, to try.

antonella

Excellent welcome. Kind and ready-to-give-advice managers. Large and bright room, tastefully furnished. Very pleasant and relaxing breakfast area. The black and white photos of actors sipping coffee keep company and make you feel a bit like 'characters' while the background music helps to start the day well. The only 'flaw' is the lack of espresso coffee! I recommend Villa Paggi to all those who intend to spend a few days in Liguria in a renovated ancient oil mill.

We thank you very much for the good advice received, despite the bad weather we managed to spend two lovely days. Villa Paggi Country House is very beautiful and enjoys a splendid view. We heartily recommend it.

patrizia

Very beautiful structure that knows how to combine ancient and modern. Old mill completely renovated with taste, respecting the environment. The owners are kind and competent. The only 'flaw' (for me a virtue) is the not very convenient location for the sea.

stayed from 10/07/2017 to 10/08/2017

The answer from the host:
Grazie gentile Patrizia, siamo felici che abbia trascorso un gradevole soggiorno a Villa Paggi. In effetti abbiamo scelto questa casa sulla collina a 7 km dal mare per poterlo raggiungere in pochi minuti d'auto senza essere circondati dal traffico e dal caos dell'alta stagione. Cari saluti, Alessandra e Gianluca.
