Location
The area
Camogli is an authentic gem of the Eastern Ligurian Riviera. From the staircases leading to the promenade to the national park trails branching off Mount Portofino, every corner of the city offers picturesque views of the splendid Golfo Paradiso. Within the park, a protected marine area has also been established, which will delight snorkeling enthusiasts. Don't miss the Abbey of San Fruttuoso with a subsequent dive to discover the Christ of the Abyss, the statue installed on the seabed.
How to get there
Thanks to its central location, just a few meters from the holiday home you will find shops, bars, restaurants, pharmacies, ice cream parlors, the characteristic small port, and all services. Octopus House in Camogli is a functional base for both sea lovers and nature excursionists: the former will be captivated by the crystal-clear waters of Golfo Paradiso, while the latter will find plenty of adventures, including the possibility of reaching the iconic Abbey of San Fruttuoso by boat or through the trails of the Portofino Mountain Park. Unmissable are also the whale watching excursions that depart directly from the small port of Camogli, to be thrilled by the presence of dolphins, striped dolphins, and sperm whales in the Sanctuary of Cetaceans.

They don’t give you coffee, apparently “food” is not included! I mean, every place with a coffee machine has coffee for the guests… Also they have a container at the bathroom sink for soap but it’s empty because they also don’t offer that, just a “1 day survival kit”. So what is the point of having this there if it’s empty!? It also gets a bit hot inside and it wasn’t a hot week!

Excellent location! The house is welcoming.
The steps are very high 😅

The apartment is in a central area but slightly secluded.
Personally, I would just like to warn future guests that if you are taller than 185 cm and weigh more than 85 kg, you physically cannot stay in this apartment. Other than that, I have nothing negative to say.

A small apartment ideally located close to the centre, the harbour and the beach. On the other hand, it is extremely noisy, as it overlooks a square with a car park, delivery trucks and bins. No air conditioning, so windows open; bring earplugs. Paid parking in a car park 10 minutes on foot away. Apparently air conditioning is planned for next year.

The property is as described in the listing. Small but cozy. Clean and in a great location. Although there is no air conditioning, as the listing makes clear, the apartment is well ventilated naturally at night, and the fans we found in the accommodation let us sleep very well, even though it was the hottest days of the summer. The location is truly excellent, not only because it is next to the harbour and very close to the sea, but because all the city services can be reached without any effort from there, especially for those who, like us, travelled by train! We will go back and recommend it to everyone!

Location, cleanliness of the apartment and the helpfulness of the hosts - all outstanding. Thank you.
The four additional charges that we paid on top of the accommodation fee itself. Disappointing. Booking.com advertises this apartment as “with parking”. The parking actually comes at an additional fee per day. There is also a linen fee, a cleaning fee and a per person tourist tax. All this may be noted in the fine print and or be strictly within the law, and I already anticipate such a response from the host and or booking.com. But the reality is that it is not common to find a total of four separate and additional charges for a vacation rental, on top of the rental fee itself, that are not readily visible on the digital platform advertising the apartment. All the more disappointing as booking.com advertised a discounted rate that was then effectively neutralized by the four additional charges.
The location is simply perfect, close to everything. It is very clean and cosy. You could add a garage, and it was close and very good.
Nothing to complain about!

Nice apartment, but way too hot, the fans available in the apartment did not do much and when you got in to the space, after a day out, it felt like a sauna, even though we left the shutters closed all day. We all slept pretty bad due to the heat Other than that, the place was as expected, and the location was fantastic.
The accommodation is very dirty. The two tower fans provided are full of dust and therefore practically unusable; with no air conditioning, it is really hard to sleep because of the heat. With the windows open (given the location) the noise is deafening, while with the windows closed you either die of heat or inhale the dust from the fans. We paid for parking separately, and on the last day we asked whether we could stay a few extra hours to make use of the day, and were willing to pay a supplement if necessary. We were told this was not possible because other guests were arriving that same day. What's more, on Booking there was no reservation for that day (or for any of the remaining days of the week), so I could easily have booked it myself from the website! There is also a coffee machine with 4 capsules, which turned out to be incompatible. The bathroom has no window and shows the beginnings of mould on the walls. The two flights of stairs to reach the accommodation are very steep and extremely dirty. Let's say we did not expect such a situation, especially after all the bureaucratic hoops we had to jump through to access the property (including video calls with the agency). To sum up, it is an accommodation in a very convenient position in the centre of the village. If you have no expectations in terms of cleanliness and comfort, it could be a decent stopover for a few days.
Host response
We are sorry to read this review, especially since no problem was reported to us during the stay. We are always available to act promptly when a guest tells us about a discomfort: we would have checked any issue immediately, as we always do. We are also surprised by the reference to an alleged mould problem, as we are not aware of any mould in any room of the accommodation. Likewise, if the fans were considered inadequate, it would have been enough to let us know so that we could check or replace them. Regarding the late check-out, we understand the wish to extend the stay in order to use the parking space, but in high season it is not always possible to accommodate this kind of request. We would, however, like to recall that on your arrival we did everything we could to allow you to access the apartment well before the scheduled check-in time. As for the stairs, the apartment is in the heart of the historic centre of Camogli, a few steps from the little harbour, inside a building that has nearly two centuries of history. The characteristics of the building, including the steep stairs, are typical of Ligurian architecture: in a land squeezed between sea and mountains, the historic centres developed vertically, and the buildings still retain these features today, which are part of their charm and authenticity. Finally, we are sorry to read such a harsh judgement from a guest who, during the stay, did not express any dissatisfaction. As always, we will continue to strive to offer attentive hospitality and a clean, well-kept accommodation, as confirmed by the large majority of the reviews we have received.
