Lovely place, helpful staff. I’d stay again.

Beautiful property, warm and caring owners, and a heavenly place to visit Cinque Terre from! Imagine waking up in an Italian vineyard, having fresh made rose jelly, figs, and fruits picked right outside the door. Take a dip in the pool (where the temperature is perfect), then have a glass of wine from the grapes made from the vineyard just a few feet away while overloookng the beautiful view of the town and mountains. Lorenzo, the owner of the property, is not only passionate about hospitality, and came to help us plan out our trip to cinque terre, offering great restaurant suggestions and helping us map out the perfect few days. The only slight imperfection, which was quite understandable, was just that the AC was switching between a bit too cold and a bit too warm, and that on one of the mornings, the shower seemed to have run out of hot water. However, neither are major issues at all and you might not even experience or notice. Aside from that, I can’t imagine staying elsewhere (the actual towns in cinque terre towns would likely have been far more busy and crowded), and Levanto is extremely convenient (one train stop away from 5terre). We LOVED OUR STAY and can’t wait to go back!

Both Lorenzos were very professional, kind and beneficial.

Lorenzo and staff were great! Loved being in the hills and still easy access to train and town. Borrowed bikes to ride north which was nice change from cinque terre. Delicious breakfast on patio and even one very rainy day in which we enjoyed a stormy morning in the villa. ONLY complaint and I hate to even mention it cuz all really was great, but quite a lot of dog barking in the valley so not next door but still audible in the distance most of the night, even during the storms. Almost sounded like nearby kennel? But again, that did NOT damper anything-just something to be aware of. Would go back!! Didn’t enjoy pool bc ran out of time but lovely option!

Wonderful staff. Lovely quiet and a good location

This lovely old villa features a charming decor, delicious food and an an extremely attentive staff. The flowers and grounds are delightful. Terrace makes a super spot for breakfast in the morning.

We stayed at L'Amandola Villa - Agriturismo as a base for our trip to Cinque Terre and Portovenere. The property is an old family estate turned into a hotel for guests. The rooms are filled with lots of charm and the property is beautiful. In the morning there is a nice breakfast that the owner prepares for you. The junior suite we had was very large with a nice sitting area. The bed was very comfortable and the room very quiet. The distance into Levanto is a bit longer that we would like. It is about a 20 minute walk into Levanto which is fine during the day, but we preferred to drive into town at night. The train is about a 10 minute walk and the boat to Portovenere about a 25 minute walk. There are plenty of nice restaurants in Levanto to choose from. I would prefer staying in Levanato than in Cinque Terre which was too full of tourists. Another nice perk is the free parking.

Beautiful Hotel and grounds. Easy access to the Levanto train station and the rest of Cinque Terra. However, we were given the room next to kitchen and were woken up each morning at 7am. If you're not an early riser, Be sure to request a different room than this one. If using to hot tub, ask the staff to warm it up at least 30 minutes before you use it. It was still quite cold. Beautiful view from the hot tub though!

We've been to Italy several times and this is the nicest place we've stayed in so far. It's a large villa overlooking the town, set amongst olive groves and a lovely well-kept garden. The hosts Lorenzo and Valentina went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. You take breakfast on a patio in the garden, and Valentina bakes a fresh cake every day for the breakfast buffet. The jacuzzi and bicyle hire were included in the cost - the short bike ride along the old railway line, through tunnels, to Framura is recommended. The only drawback was that it was a 20-25 minute walk into town to get to restaurants or the sea. Only 15 minutes walk from Levanto station though.

This wonderful home is at a good location, quiet, and has views, nice antiques, but too many rules about jacuzzi, "forbidden" to swim after 7 p.m., or bring in food or wine purchased locally and enjoy in the garden area.
