Alexandria surprised us by meeting us at the train station and driving our bags, as well as our parents to the apartment! My partner and I walked while they drove, and it was an easy trip from the train station. Alexandria gave us the tour of the apartment (which was beautiful, clean and spacious), as well as restaurant recommendations. We felt very welcomed. The description I found on booking.com did not mention the VIEW! The apartment is located on top of a hill, and we were able to see the town of Sestri Levante from the balcony. Finding this place was mostly accidental-- I have previously stayed in La Spezia when visiting Cinque Terre, but couldn't find a place that would comfortably accommodate me and my family. I'm so glad we found CittadellaChiara, because I now prefer Sestri Levante! The town has so much to offer, and is a destination in itself (we only ended up visiting Cinque Terre for a half day this time). We loved our stay, and I would absolutely book again in the future.

It was our first visit to Sestri Levante but do you know where we will stay next (year) time when we again go to Sestri Levante? Yes, we hope it will again be in Cittadella Chiara. Why? Because we loved the location of the apartment – close to the centre of the old town and close to both beaches, with several cafes and restaurants within 100-200 metres. As for the apartment, I have nothing to add. The apartment is just perfect. It is very spacious, 2 rooms with double beds, one room with two separate beds and one big living room. Our children were happy they had their own rooms also on holiday  And my wife slept as well as she hadn't slept in years. The apartment is also very well equipped, you can be sure there is absolutely everything you might need (as mentioned in other reviews) and you will feel like at home. What we really loved was sitting on the balcony in the evening, with nice view on surrounding buildings, authentic Italian  Incidentally, the meeting with Alessandra was very pleasant, she showed and explained everything to us upon arrival and she also took care via whatsapp if everything is OK during the whole stay.

Parking fee but it's probably hard to do anything about it in the historic center. You need to take it into account if you go by car. But it would not discourage me from next visit.

Contact with Owners were clear and fast!

The property was immaculate, clean, perfectly located, and Alessandra made sure that we had everything we needed. The apartment had soap, shampoo, juice, pasta, and other essentials to start us out with enough when we arrived. The kitchen is well stocked with spices, pots, pans, dishes, and other items to make cooking in really easy. The location is perfect as well, only a few hundred meters from both beaches! The apartment was perfect for our family of 5, with the kids sleeping comfortably each night. There is also air conditioning in each room which was necessary on the hot summer days. When we arrived we were met by Alessandra’s daughter who showed us where to park, and made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a great relaxing stay in Sestri!

Nothing, everything was great!

Comfortable and well appointed. Great location.
