Apartment between 5Terre and Portofino,glimpse sea

Semi-independent apartment in the historic center. 2 bedrooms, bathroom, living room/kitchen, balcony. Valley view and small glimpse of the sea on the horizon We are located in Castiglione Chiavarese, a small town in the center between the Cinque Terre and Portofino and this makes Castiglione a strategic place and a perfect starting point for your excursions to discover the pearls of the Ligurian Riviera. We are away from the chaos of the city and the crowds of tourists but with all the primary and essential amenities at your fingertips The space The apartment is in the historic center of Castiglione Chiavarese among the typical Genoese carruggi (alleys). It is furnished in a simple and essential style and consists of a living room/kitchen, bedroom with two single or double beds depending on the requests, bedroom with double bed, bathroom with shower and a balcony where you can have breakfast, lunch, dinner, sip a drink or a glass of wine. The kitchen is complete with dishes, pots, refrigerator, oven, microwave, Nespresso coffee machine and dishwasher. In the bathroom, there is a washing machine for free use. There are several steps to reach the apartment (see photo), so it is not accessible to people with motor disabilities. It is not possible to reach the apartment by car but there are several free public parking lots a few meters away. Other things to note TOURIST TAX The Municipality of Castiglione Chiavarese provides for the payment of the accommodation tax of €2 per person per day, excluding children up to 12 years old, to be paid in cash at the time of check-in. CHECK-IN As provided for in Italian law, at the time of check-in it is necessary to show the ID of all guests in order to be able to communicate the data to the Police Headquarters, the obligation of all Italian hosts. I won't be able to access guests without a document or who refuse to show it. LAST-SECOND RESERVATIONS (same day of check-in) For reservations made the same day, I need at least 2 hours to prepare the apartment and check-in may be available after 22:00. HEATING During the coldest period (from November to March, inclusive), the house can be heated either with the LPG gas radiators in all rooms or with the pellet stove located in the living room. The guest can decide which heat source to use. If you choose to use the radiators, an advance payment of €3 per day is required. The heating is set to turn on in the morning (7–9 a.m.) and in the evening (6–10 p.m.). The maximum temperature is set at 20°C (68°F), as required by municipal regulations; therefore, if the temperature in the house exceeds the legal limit, the radiators will not turn on. The cost of the pellets is borne by the guest and can be found in the shops nearby or, for large quantities, you can request home delivery. The host can provide it at a cost of €8 per bag (15 kg). The duration of a bag is 12–18 hours, depending on the temperature set on the heater. During the day, the temperature is generally pleasant and comfortable, especially on sunny days. HOUSEKEEPING / CHECK-OUT No cleaning fee is charged, but we kindly ask you to leave the property in the same condition as you found it, leaving the kitchen clean and disposing of the sorted garbage in the designated bins along the main street. Alternatively, the day before check-out, you can ask the Host for cleaning service for a fee of €50. NON-REFUNDABLE BOOKING If you choose the non-refundable booking option, which offers a 10% discount, I recommend adding travel insurance so that you can claim a refund in the event of force majeure, such as serious illness or injury to you or a family member, or severe weather issues like natural disasters. Remember: To claim a refund under the additional insurance to be requested before making the reservation, you must provide medical documentation or proof of the unforeseen event, but if you change your mind or decide not to travel for personal reasons, the insurance will not cover the cost. If you have not added insurance, the amount paid cannot be refunded for any reason. Registration Details IT010013B4AKWFB28O
