When you are booking a vacation rental and have found a few options that you like the look of, it can be hard to narrow the list down to one but something that can really help are reviews. Hearing what real people have to say about something helps give us peace of mind. As we are lucky enough to have customers who always give us helpful feedback, we thought that it would be a good idea to put together a list of our most-reviewed properties to show some of the excellent villas and experiences you can expect when you book with us! Here are our final two picks among the properties that have been reviewed most frequently.

9. La Regolina

La Regolina is a lovely farmhouse, located in a beautiful position overlooking the beautiful Gulf of Levanto in Liguria, an area that adjoins the famous “Cinque Terre”. Carefully restored and tastefully furnished by the owner, an architect, it boasts modern facilities in an original farmhouse setting and six bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. There is also a very large sunny terrace, leading from the sitting room, furnished for eating outside while enjoying fantastic views over the sea.

Spring is a beautiful time of year, when the earth defrosts after the long winter, flowers burst free from their slumber deep below the ground, baby animals find their footing on lush green pastures, the sun begins to show up on a more regular basis, tourist crowds awaken but remain smaller, and everything comes roaring back to life. It is a perfect time for a vacation, before demands and costs run high and the sun starts beating down, and Italy, in particular, is especially lovely at this time of year. However, there are some specific destinations in Italy that are at their best in Spring and we have been listing the best of the best among them in the last couple of posts. In this final entry in this series, we will discuss our last picks so you can get choosing among them and planning your Spring getaway in Italy...

5. Levanto, Liguria

The Ligurian Coast is swamped come Summer, particularly along the famous Cinque Terre. However, this lesser-known town is actually also an incredibly popular destination as one of the best surf destinations in Italy, which are in short supply.

The Cinque Terre is a famously beautiful coastal part of Italy but, when one imagines it, one tends to picture the pretty and colourful cluster of houses hugging a rugged cliff-side that descends to a bay bobbing with yachts and little fishing boats. However, if you have found a vacation rental in the Cinque Terre and are spending time in the area, you will be glad to know that these aren’t the only stunning seaside scenes that you will encounter.

You will also find some of the prettiest traditional perfect soft-sand-and-blue-seas beaches in Italy. There aren’t that many and most are only small stretches that can be found next to some of the towns in the area but there are a couple that are more spacious and impressive affairs, like the most obvious and best example, the picture-perfect Spiaggia di Fegina.

In Italy, in some places you will find that there are both regular areas on beaches and paid sections where there are more facilities on offer including umbrellas, loungers, toilet and changing facilities, snack bars, and more. Some or all of these amenities can be available on regular, unpaid beaches and then there are some beaches that do not have paid areas at all but they are quite common and can be found all over Italy. For many, the certainty of being assured of a nice spot on the beach, of having all of the various accoutrements of a comfortable day on the beach without having to drag them all around with you, and the ease and convenience of all of this make it very much worth spending the cash. However, not all paid beaches are made equal. Some are particularly beautiful and some are particularly luxurious. While it does not fit in the completely luxurious category but is extremely convenient and one of the best and most scenic beaches on offer in the Cinque Terre, the Bathing Resort Il Gigante Monterosso Al Mare is a noteworthy paid beach in Liguria.

Bathing Resort Il Gigante Monterosso Al Mare is located in the picturesque town of Monterosso al Mare, which is one of the five towns that make up the beloved and famous Cinque Terre in Liguria. If you have found a vacation rental in Cinque Terre or a luxury villa in Liguria and are looking for the perfect place for an idyllic day on the beach, you have lots of different options to choose from but this gem is one of the more popular examples.
