FAQ

Before you book

Can I book fewer than 7 nights?

We rent by the week, Saturday to Saturday. For short breaks or midweek dates, write to us privately and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

Do I need a car?

It’s recommended. From Sarzana station you can reach the Cinque Terre, Pisa, Lucca and Florence by train, but for beaches, villages and the quarries a car is simplest. You can rent one at Pisa airport.

How far is the beach?

Marinella beach is 8 km, 16 minutes by car (calculated without traffic); the resort itself states 6 km to the sea. Lerici is about 26 minutes away.

Can we use the resort pool and restaurant?

Guests can use the facilities according to Ippotur’s rules and opening periods. Ask us for this season’s details.

What’s included in the price?

The weekly price covers the accommodation. Anything charged separately appears as its own line in the price calculator under “Book”: the final cleaning and, if you request them, bed linen, towels, a pet or a cot. If an item shows “on request”, we give you the amount in the written quote, before any payment.

Can we bring pets?

Yes, pets are welcome: the house’s garden is fenced. Tell us in your request how many and what size; if there is a supplement, you’ll see it in the price calculator.

What if I need to cancel?

Terms are in your booking confirmation. We recommend travel insurance with cancellation cover.

Which languages do you reply in?

Italian, English, French and Spanish.

Why do you ask for an ID document?

In Italy, anyone renting out accommodation must report every guest’s details to the police (Questura) through the Alloggiati Web portal. After your booking is confirmed we will ask for the details and a valid ID document of each guest. We use them only for this legal obligation, as explained on the Privacy page.
