About this property

Next to Portofino, fantastic location

The living room's balcony overlooks at the tiny beach; the property is really “pied dans l’eau"

The house is an example of the late XIX century holiday villa of the Italian Riviera, built above its boathouse, has always starting point for beautiful canoe trips.
It is ideal for relaxed and refined holidays.
The position is very special between the green wooded hills and the sea, the flat overlooks a small public beach, that can be reached by a short path. It's next to the beautiful Paraggi bay, with its sand beach, amazing green transparent water, tiny village and exclusive villas.
A mild weather all year round, allows to enjoy walks along the sea and on the hills, or to shop in fashionable Portofino and Santa Margherita boutiques to lounge in a restaurant terrace.

From the boathouse below the flat you could appreciate the beauty of Portofino Marine Park in the best possible way: paddling, rowing, with 'outdoorportofino' .
By a short walk (or by bus) you will reach Portofino with fashionable shops, very nice and romantic outdoor cafés and restaurants.

It is included in the natural park of Portofino that features beautiful walks in different environments due to the special biodiversity of flora and fauna, with stunning views on the sea and steep cliffs.
If you like trekking, this is an amazing area with stunning landscapes: we highly recommend the classic trip to Portofino - San Fruttuoso Abbey, which leaves directly from the house or comfortably by ferry from Portofino.

Portofino dream

Giancarla’s Niasca property is a gem. Situated on a beautiful little bay, it is a close walk to Portofino and near an 82 bus stop, it is the perfect base to explore the Italian Riveria. The property is stunning and such a unique location literally on top of the bay. Giancarla is a fantastic host and very helpful. We would not hesitate to recommend Giancarla’s Niasca!!

Wonderful week at Niasca

Our family group of six enjoyed a lovely stay at Niasca for the first week of September. The house is comfortable and well-equipped - perfectly situated above the beach and sea. Private parking by the house was a big plus. The large living and dining room with its gorgeous sea view was a great space for lounging, dining and many games of cards. Renting kayaks and paddle boards was so easy from Outdoor Portofino beneath us. A short walk through the woods took us to Portofino or Paraggi or an easy bus to Santa Margherita.

Amazing property a little piece of heaven

Our stay at the villa was fantastic. A little piece of paradise. The children spent time on the kayaks while we relaxed on our own private rocks by the water. Just listening to the waves from the house while sipping on a spritz was lovely. Giancarla was a great host and very welcoming. The kayak rental staff were great with the children and offered us a discount when settling the account which was very nice of them. I would highly reccomend this property

Perfect weekend

We had a perfect stay at this property! Three couples (two with two-year-olds) came together for a reunion weekend, and it could not have been more perfect. Giancarla picked a couple of us up from the train station and took us to the grocery store so we could get stuff for breakfast the next morning which was really helpful, especially as it was pouring rain. Tons of space in the property as well - worked quite well for us. The location is just wonderful. Perfect views and morning sun in the living space. The beach below is so convenient. It wasn't warm enough to swim, but the toddlers loved to dig in the sand and throw rocks into the water. An easy walk into Portofino via the walking path right above the property. We took our strollers on it and had no problems. It was really nice that we didn't have to walk on the road to get there. We also walked to Santa Margherita one day which was a really pretty walk along the coast as well. Would 100% come back in a heartbeat!

Brilliantly authentic

Stayed over Easter. Fantastic location if you like something near to town yet feels a world away. 15 minute walk to Portofino. 40 minute walk to Santa Margherita. Waterfall in the back. Amazing hikes just behind. So quiet though ride in the road. Beds were very comfortable. Great host! We hope to be back.

About the host

Hosted by Giancarla Serra

My grand-grand-father, from Genoa, both the flat with the boathouse for give to his ten sons the opportunity to grow up healthy and strong, swimming, rowing and hiking in stunning landscapes. In the XIX century, Portofino was a little fisherman village, unknown from the newborn tourism. The only other tourists was two English brother and them family, living in the two castle of the area Castello Paraggi, in front of Niasca and castello Brown immediately above Portofino. Nowadays a natural park and the protected bay of Paraggi bring back to the enchant of those days. As my grandfather, my mother, my sisters, I spent all the summers of my childhood in Niasca
