This was the most wonderful relaxing holiday imaginable. The accommodation was delightful, and the views and garden are stunning.

What a find for our first time in Italy. The accommodation is perfect both inside and out and the views at anytime time of the day from the terrace and pool are spectacular. This is a small but high quality apartment and our host Daniela was wonderfully kind. There is plenty to do in the region such as lovely walk along to Lerici where you can take a boat trip to the Cinque Terre or Portofino. We would like to come back and do some walking. There is no need to have a car everything is very accessible by foot and public transport. If you are looking for a beautiful, quiet place to stay with access to local bars and restaurants just go ahead and book.

Quest'anno abbiamo deciso di fare una vacanza diversa, non il solito Hotel ma una casa privata con un ampio parco e, soprattutto, una piscina a uso esclusivo con vista mozzafiato sul Golfo dei Poeti. Siamo rimasti molto contenti della scelta specialmente grazie a Daniela e Roberto per la loro disponibilità e discrezione, due persone squisite. Ci siamo sentiti come a casa nostra, condiviso anche dal nostro cagnolino. Consigliamo questo posto meraviglioso e curatissimo a chi vuole fare una vacanza in completo relax.

Mediterranea is a small, elegant and well designed apartment furnished and equipped to the highest of standards, everything we could possibly have needed having been thought of. Set amidst truly beautiful and skilfully designed terraced gardens is a lovely, good-sized, cooling pool with quality outdoor furniture and stunning views. A much appreciated welcome basket, full of local produce was there on our arrival and Daniela couldn't have been more helpful throughout our stay. If you want peace, tranquility and beautiful surroundings we would highly recommend Mediterranea and we hope to return one day. A note: the location is up a steep hill which through ill health we found difficult to climb.

Sono stata a Villa Mediterranea a luglio 2016,è stato come vivere un sogno a occhi aperti!! È un posto fantastico,la casa finemente arredata dà calore e tranquillità il relax in piscina ti fa perdere il senso del tempo per la pace e il silenzio che si respira. Daniela e Roberto sono unici,ci hanno accolto offrendo una cesta di "benvenuto" con specialità locali!! Sono stati disponibili in tutto dandoci consigli per visitare le zone vicine e le 5terre. Un esperienza unica!! Grazie Mediterranea e grazie al mio compagno x avermi regalato un sogno così....!!!

Siamo stati in questa splendida casa a cavallo tra agosto e settembre 2016 Abbiamo trascorso soltanto una settimana in questo angolo appartato di San Terenzo e Lerici in pieno relax Punto di forza il panorama sul golfo dei poeti e la piscina esclusiva ..... veramente un oasi di pace e tranquillità. La casa accogliente e di charme, La pulizia regna ovunque ! Al nostro arrivo Daniela ci ha accolti con un cesto di benvenuto.... Cosa potevamo chiedere di più da una vacanza in Italia!

From the moment Daniela picked us up at La Spezia station we knew we were in for a treat. Despite her faltering English (which was anyway better than our Italian) she could not have been more helpful. We stayed in the apartment for eight glorious days and Daniela was on hand to answer any questions or help if required. The apartment was spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished and the garden and pool are just heaven on earth, complete with barbecue, shaded dining area, sun beds and a view to die for. It is only a pity that it only accommodates two people as we would love to return with friends. It is true that the climb up from town is exhausting but the view alone is worth it. This is without doubt one of the best apartments we have stayed and will almost certainly return.

My wife and I booked Daniela's vacation rental in early October of 2015. We stayed about a week. Our experience and memories will last a lifetime... Daniela's vacation rental is an apartment in the bottom of a house that she lives in. She has a large property that is professionally landscaped. It appears to have once been an olive grove due to the some terraces. However, it has lots of pretty flowers bushes and trees which are a sanctuary after a busy day of being a tourist. We had the property which faces the sea all to ourselves including the large pool. The pool is unheated (typical of Europe I think). However, after a hot day it felt really good to cool off. The property is very secure behind a security gate as well (nice if you have a rental car). The apartment has a glassed in living room/patio which was quite spacious. Plenty of places to sit and relax. Internet wi fi was provided free and worked well. There is a galley kitchen with microwave, stove, fridge and freezer. There is also a small washer for clothes and she has a rack to dry the clothes (standard in this area). The kitchen has appropriate pots,utensils plates etc. The bedroom has a nice brass bed (queen I think) and sitting couch (not a sleeper). There is a small bathroom with shower. The accommodations are quite nice and our stay was very relaxing and quiet. Daniela was kind enough to provide a gift basket with wine, cheese, fruit and other assortments. This was much appreciated as we arrived after dark and were very tired. The rental is hard to find. You will likely not find it without her help. I would suggest putting in Hotel Nettuno Lerici in your GPS (via Paolo Mantegazza 1,19032 San Terenzio di Lerici SP, Italy. This will get you down along the waterfront in San Terenzo and close to the rental. Driving from Milan you will take the A!5 to La Spezia then take the SP 331 towards Lerici. At one point you will go through a tunnel and find the Euro Spin (supermarket on your right). There is a white sign (with a tree growing over it) here indicating that your next right at the roundabout after another short tunnel is san Terenzo. Take via Bagnara (turns into via Giuseppe Garibaldi) down towards the shore down the hill and look for the Hotel Nettuno Lerici (look at google maps), Daniela speaks some English, however, she had to come find us and have us follow her in our rental car to find the rental. There is no way we would have otherwise found it, it is a hidden gem. There is a 5 minute walk up the hill after having dinner/drinks. The supermarket and several nice restaurants are available within walking distance. The hill was not a problem for my wife and I (45), but if you are out of shape or don't have a car you should be prepared to walk up the hill with breaks. However, this is why the view is so stupendous! There is also a bus stop along the shore to get to La Spezia and onward to Cinque Terra (probably about 30-40 minutes). I would not hesitate to treat myself to this rental again. It is a taste of true Italy, a sanctuary as well. Yet still close enough to get to Cinque Terra and to northern Tuscany.

We stayed in September. Danielle met us and was very welcoming and even provided a wonderful pack of local food. The apartment was perfect. The view is 'to die for' and we had exclusive use of the pool. We very highly recommend it and would love to come back.

What an amazing find! We had an absolutely fantastic stay with Daniella in her beautiful home. The apartment is on the ground floor of a large house on top of a hill overlooking the Mediterranean. One essentially has complete and utter private access to an enormous terraced garden complete with amazing swimming pool, barbecue and outdoor seating area. The attention to detail is just perfect. Upon arrival we were presented with an enormous hamper full of local food produce and beautiful wines and pesto; it kept us going for the entire week! The house is on a private road on top of a hill so it is completely peaceful, and it's literally five minutes walk to a stunning sandy beach with lots of lovely local restaurants. It's easy to explore by car along the coast, to pretty beaches and hidden gems of fishing villages. We really could not recommend this any more highly. We even took our puppy, who was given a wonderful reception. Can't wait to come back.
