Villa Gnocchi Agriturismo

A beautiful, peaceful agriturismo. We loved looking out over the olive terraces from our private terrace. The pool was excellent with similar views. Lovely breakfasts with charming staff. The owner, Roberto, was very helpful. People should be aware of the many steps and changes of level, natural for the site. Also, the steep winding access road is better for the smaller car or the brave driver - leave the Porsche at home! What would have made our stay absolutely perfect would have been simple suppers available to buy on the beautiful terrace - even just at the weekends! We loved the 2 donkeys.

We stayed with Roberto for 3 nights on our way to Tuscany. Fantastic views, a great base to explore the Portofino Peninsula. We personally preferred the less touristy towns like Camogli and Santa Margherita to Portofino - though it does look stunning from the ferry when it docks. Stay on the ferry to San Fruttuoso instead. And watch the sun set with stunning views over Camogli and Genoa beyond, over fabulous aperitvos at Bar Da Nicco in Ruta di Camogli.

We stayed for 3 nights. Outstandingly successful visit. beautiful place, excellent breakfasts. Lovely pool. Roberto especially helpful with suggestions, directions. Highly recommend

The views from Villa Gnocchi are just stunning and definitely worth winding up the hill for! Roberto is very friendly and full of local knowledge and tips to help you plan your stay. We wished we had more time in order to go hiking in the Portofino National Park!

A delightful, and yet accessible hideaway. Truly lives up to the write-up.... And more so. Roberto goes out of his way to be helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. And his English is very good! Breakfast on that sunny terrace is an unforgettable experience: the view, the delicious food, the pleasant company, if you want it. The balcony is also great for an evening picnic, with food bought from the wonderful delis in Santa Margherita. I'm not saying any more because I want to be sure there's still space for us when we go back, as many guests do!

Wonderful place - terrific views, good rooms, very helpful owner

My friends and I have just returned from a lovely holiday in Villa Gnocchi. Roberto is a wonderful host who is there to give advise if required but if not, just leaves you alone to enjoy the wonderful scenery. The Villa is charming and very clean and our room had a wonderful panoramic view overlooking Santa Margherita. Thank you Roberto and team for a lovely stay.

Wish we had booked more nights. Robert is a truly professional host and meets every need without question. Beautiful and romantic setting. Great location but be sure to bring the directions that Robert sends with confirmation letter and follow them exactly

We really loved this place. Roberto was a great host, he was very helpful suggesting things to do and places to visit. He also had a wonderful, dry sense of humour. The views are stunning and the atmosphere very relaxed, breakfast on the terrace was a real treat. The rooms were a good size and had lovely indvidual touches - possibly our favourite place on this trip.

Roberto is the one who makes this a special place to stay. He is an excellent host and looks shocked should you mention the idea of consulting Tourist Information. He has extensive local knowledge and Villa Gnocchi is an excellent centre for exploring the many marked walks criss-crossing the Portofino National Park. Indeed it is perfectly possible to manage here without a hire car as the public transport links are excellent. Villa Gnocchi is set in a spectacular spot in an area of great beauty. The rooms are colourful and spotless and the breakfast excellent. We met several couples who were here for the third and fourth time, and you can see why!
