Beautiful view but isolated from town, need car/taxi
Nice scenic views of the ocean and Levanto from the apartment's outside porch, good if youâre going to lounge in the apartment for a few days. Windows have screens, which is rare in Europe. But itâs isolated from the town up a steep hill. No microwave, no clothes dryer. Not convenient if you don't have a car. Walking up the steep hill to the apartment 1 km is difficult. You probably won't make it up unless you can run 5 miles. Italy basically doesnât allow Uber, so you have to call a taxi. After the taxi drops you off, there are still about 1 flight of stairs outside to get to the entrance door. Walking downhill from the apartment to town is possible if you donât have luggage and are in average condition. However if you take the steps to shorten the distance, instead of the narrow winding road, many of the steps have uneven rocks so you have to be careful not to twist your ankle or hip. Thank goodness, there are 2 taxi companies in town, Edoardo and Mirko. Edoardo could not pick us up the day we arrived, so we used Mirko the whole time during our 3 night stay. Mirkoâs company was good, spoke enough English, only took about 15 minutes to arrive, and came right on time when we scheduled the day before for our early morning trip to the train station. They have more than one white Mercedes van with a Taxi sign on top (we saw at least 2). Thereâs a sign in the taxi that says Levanto minimum taxi fare is 10 Euros; it cost 15 Euros to our location out of town and up
We had a great two night stay at Robertoâs place. Communication was excellent. We arrived early and Roberto made sure we were able to find the place and get in. The unit had everything we needed. The view is spectacular, specially after dark. Levanto is the perfect place to visit Cinque Terre.
Magnificent view from the terrace and nice apartment with everything we needed. The check-in and -out was super easy and Roberto gave us valuable tips on what to see and where to eat.
