The house is large and well furnished. We were 6 people and had everything we needed in the house. We especially enjoyed the garden, small pool and outside table and barbecue. The ciccadas do make a lot of noise during the day in the hot summer months, but you can enjoy noise-free 'breaks' inside the house where you can e.g. take a siesta in one of the cool bedrooms. From the house it's a 10 min walk to the beach, where you can swim, lie on the beach or have great coffee or food. The location is great to explore many beautiful small coastal towns, as well as Cinque Terre and Genova. There is a train station in Cavi itself, but if you want more frequent trains, then Lavagna or Sestri Levanti are better (you can also park your car next to these stations).
