Villa Gnocchi

Villa Gnocchi in San Lorenzo della Costa is a small agriturismo-style stay set among olive groves above the Gulf of Portofino, built for quiet, view-filled downtime.

Peaceful hillside setting: The property sits on the slopes above Santa Margherita Ligure, giving you a calmer base while staying close to the Riviera’s headline spots like Portofino, Rapallo, and Camogli.

Rooms with character: Rooms are described as elegant and furnished with period pieces, creating a warm, traditional Ligurian feel rather than a modern, minimalist look.

Sea-view outdoor space: Each room includes a furnished balcony or terrace, with views stretching from the Gulf of Santa Margherita toward the Cinque Terre coastline and the island of Tino.

In-room comforts: Expect private bathrooms with shower and hairdryer, plus satellite TV, a safe, and a minibar for an easy, self-contained stay.

Pool time with a panorama: There’s a swimming pool with free access, positioned to make the most of the scenery—ideal for a slow afternoon after coastal exploring.

Helpful, practical service: Free Wi‑Fi is available throughout, daily room cleaning is provided, and free station transport can be arranged with advance notice.

Arrival timing may need planning: Check-in is organized within set time windows, so late or irregular arrivals may require coordinating ahead.

Not a beachfront property: Being up in San Lorenzo della Costa means you’ll likely rely on transport to reach the sea and harbors, even though the views are a highlight.

Classic style isn’t for everyone: The period-furnished aesthetic may feel less “design-hotel” to travelers who prefer a contemporary look.
