We are a young family with a 10 months old, loving outdoors. We really enjoyed the apartment on the 1st floor with a large terrace. It is a specious and clean place, we fitted in easily with all the luggage and clothing for 10 days. We could use the washing machine for a small charge too. The beach and pool were great too. We really liked that it is just outside the town, as it was not as touristy, yet only a short walk to the town, restaurants and the supermarket. Another benefit is that it has it's own parking which can be a problem in the town. We used the boats to get to Cinque Terre and the Island opposite, we went hiking and explored the area around. We are totally in love with this place and having seen other hotels and towns, we would not want to change anything.
Yes, it is on a pricier side, but comparing with other places in the region, the price sounds right. It is a 3☆ hotel so one shouldn't expect more. The drawbacks, if we were really looking for some: quite slow WIFI and the selection of tv channels is poor, but hey, it's holiday and time to escape! Also, having heavily relied on cooking, the kitchen was really basic, we could do with an owen and bit more dishes, but we found a way around it and still cooked lovely meals for us and the little one.
Overall, we loved it, the best first family holiday one could wish for!
