Overview
If you are searching for a peaceful home-from-home on Italy’s Genoa Riviera, Villa Carine is a delightful choice. Sitting in a large, verdant garden within a small residential hamlet, Villa Carine offers stunning sea views while still being close to many of the Riviera’s most beloved towns. With beaches and historic port towns on your doorstep, you will have much to see and do during your summer holiday.
Villa Carine is a pretty house set over three storeys, with traditional stone exteriors and shuttered windows in the typical Ligurian style. The home has recently been updated and re-decorated to offer guests the best-quality facilities and comfortable accommodations.
The ground floor offers a spacious lounge room with a bar that opens to the garden, while the first floor is home to a large, open-plan living and dining room with a comfy L-shaped sofa, TV and a long dining table. This floor also boasts a fully-fitted kitchen with all the gadgets and appliances you need to cook dinner for your friends or family.
In addition to these lovely living spaces, the home offers guests four bedrooms. Three of these rooms have double beds, while one is a twin room, perfect for the children. One of the bedrooms has an en-suite bathroom and the others have access to well-equipped family bathrooms.
Outdoors, the home is enveloped by a vast garden littered with towering trees and floral planting. There are al-fresco dining spaces, outdoor sofas, a barbecue and a private heated swimming pool. There are also numerous balconies and terraces which overlook the garden and the sea.
You will not have to travel far from Villa Carine to find the closest beaches, as there are two within a 4km drive and many more in the nearby villages and towns. When you wish to dine out, the port town of Rapallo, which is 5km away, is a great place to visit. Rapallo’s historic centre is brimming with street-side cafes and Italian trattorias filling the streets, as well as shops and historic attractions. From your base at the villa, you can also easily reach Portofino and Genoa and take boat trips to other towns, such as La Spezia.
What you should know…
- The home is not air-conditioned but will be kept cool due to the window shades and the thick stone walls.
- As the villa is located 5km away from the nearest village, you will need a car when staying here.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa CarineVilla Carine enjoys an idyllic setting in a leafy hamlet looking out over the sea and the tree-filled hills. You can easily reach nearby beaches and spend your days visiting some of the Italian Riviera’s finest towns and cities such as Portofino, Rapallo and Genoa.
The closest beaches to the house are Pozzetto Spiaggia and Spiaggia Marina di Bardi, each just 4km away. Both of these beaches are pretty, pebbled coves with sun loungers on offer and cafés and restaurants nearby. These are just two of the many beaches dotted around Rapallo Bay; lovely beaches are available in San Michele di Pagana, which is 7km away. From Rapallo, it is also possible to take boat trips and ferries to some amazing seaside villages and towns such as La Spezia and Monterosso.
Aside from the incredible beaches and the extensive hiking routes in the area, you can explore a wide array of villages, towns and cities without having to travel far. The closest amenities to the home are either in Rapallo or a seaside village called Zoagli which is also a mere 5km away. Zoagli is a great place to spend the day; there are beaches, shops, cafes and restaurants here. The village has a long history and became wealthy due to its silk manufacturing industry which resulted in many of the fine buildings you see being constructed over time. You can see examples of the exquisite, historic fabrics displayed in the village. Another attraction here is a unique cliffside walkway known as the pedestrian cliff which offers unrivalled views and walks up to Canevaro Castle.
At equal distance to the home is the ancient port town of Rapallo which is a much larger town with many more shops and eateries. As you enter Rapallo, you will see one of the notable attractions, a coastal castle known as “the Old Castle on the Sea”. This wonderful castle juts into the sea and was built to protect the town from attacks in the 16th century. You can look around the castle and the museum it now houses for free. Another key sight is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Montallegro, a staggering 16th-century church filled with historical artworks.
It would be a shame to spend your holiday on the Italian Riviera without visiting Portofino, the much-loved port town 12km away. This exclusive town has fine-dining restaurants, designer stores and up-market cocktail bars. If you would like an afternoon of rest, you could also spend time in one of the town’s day spas and treat yourself to a massage. In addition to its glamorous side, there is another side to Portofino; while here, you can also follow trails into the protected parklands and wooded hills or book on to a dolphin spotting trip in the bay.
