We and the friends we were traveling with wanted to visit Portofino, but learned from various sources that it is much better to stay in Santa Margherita and take the 20 minute boat ride to Portofino. As it happens Portofino was somewhat disappointing--a pretty harbor town but that's about it--but Santa Margherita was delightful, and Villa Gnocchi was a delightful... More

My wife and I stayed at Villa Gnocchi in September 2012 for 7 nights. As with all the other reviews we totally agree that it had spectacular views from our room, but also it was so relaxing. On arrival Roberto kindly picked us up from the train station and took us the short journey to the Villa. Our room was... More

Villa Gnocchi As most of the previous reviews have said this is not your average B and B. The room we had had fantastic views, a small balcony with two chairs, The room was of a good size but the bath room was very small. I looked at other rooms and they had a much larger bath room. So ask... More

Villa Gnocchi is listed as being in Santa Margharita Ligure, but it is actually closer to the smaller area of San Lorenzo, in the hills behind SML. Roberto, the owner, was very good with communications leading up to our stay, and gave us good directions to the property. And what a beautiful property it is. Set into the side of... More

Roberto is a warm and welcoming host and provides a lot of advice and help. Our balcony had great views, and the little fridge a welcoming cost-priced beer on our arrival. There is a newly built swimming pool (not a typical B&B) amenity. Some reviewers seemed to expect a hotel, but we loved the character of the place and the... More

Roberto picked us up in his car from the Santa Margherita railway station! The service in Villa Gnocchi is fantastic! it is truly a stay you´ll never forget. Roberto also drove us back to the railway station when we had to go home from a perfect stay in the beautiful surroundings of San Lorenzo della Costa :) Thank you!

"Villa Gnocchi" is a jewel among the many Agri turismo possibilities in Liguria, Italy. It is located high up on the mountain slope over Santa Margherita with a view over the city below and the Ligurian Bay. The villa has been built on more terraces with the upper terrace holding the breakfast facilities including a morningbuffet plentyful with eggs, sausages,... More

Roberto, his wife, and staff have done an excellent job with this B&B. The property is perched on the hill side above the port city surrounded by olive and fruit trees. You can hear the roosters and catch glimpses of feral hogs roaming the countryside. The good: they really care about your experience and will go above and beyond to... More

This quaint and warm family owned hotel boasts wonderful views of the Ligurian Sea and Santa Margherita. I loved my stay with my friend Carolyn. We had traveled from Marseille by car to visit my favorite Italian seaside get away and found this accommodation to be a perfect blend of view, privacy and cuisine. The proprietor Roberto and his spouse... More
