Guest Reviews for Villa Poc
Overall, we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay in October. This is a good location for access to other towns such as Portofino and Sestri Levante and Rapallo has a nice beach and promenade with lots of shops, cafes and restaurants. The host, Verbena was very responsive and very helpful, including putting on the heating! The bedrooms are large with three of the four having plenty of wardrobe space, complete with plenty of hangers. The living space is comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped if you want to self cater. There are however a few factors that you need to consider if arriving by car. As described, the driveway is very steep and narrow but it also has includes a hairpin turn. Whilst there is parking space for at least two cars you need to be sure that you can turn your car(s) around at the bottom. As a family we arrived in a large SUV and a VW van. I found the drive way very challenging and too difficult when the drive was wet, so the SUV was parked at the top of the drive for most of our stay. The VW van would not have negotiated the bend so we had to leave it at the top of the drive way in the shared entrance, which was not ideal. These are factors to take in to account if you are arriving in a large family car such as an SUV or estate car. The neighbourhood is lovely and the view is spectacular. There is a good supermarket with parking a few minutes away but there are no pavements, so we did not walk to and from town which we would have liked to do. We were delighted that the house was dog friendly and having the outdoor space is a real benefit, however on two occasions a large dog from the house next door came into the garden and had to be retrieved by the owner. Whilst the dog was in no way aggressive, just curious, we had to keep our own dogs out of the way and check the garden before letting them out. I’m sure this can be resolved by fixing the wire fence between the properties. Whilst I would recommend this property it would be subject to giving consideration to these factors.
