We had a lovely stay at Casa Bianca. The host is exceptionally nice and helpful. The situation is lovely, relatively remote and the grounds are very nice - olive oil and wine excellent as other reviewers have said. The house is relatively basic in provisions and the fans not particularly powerful although we were there in a heatwave. A small pool to dip in would be very welcome.We found that the walk to the sea took significantly longer than on the listing. Please note that this was in a group with two children under 8, and two adults 70 and we had no car with us. However, even for a strong walker either pathway presents fairly steep and bobbly hills to get down (and up!), and once you're in the town there's still some way to go to the beach (more accurate for us would be: 25 minutes to the beach/seaside). Given the heat of August during our stay (30C) this made it quite grueling unfortunately. Chiavari and surroundings are of course very nice and we had some great meals in town (particularly the Antica Osteria Da Ü Dria at bottom of hill - don't trust the Google reviews, it's a wonderful family restaurant!). Beaches are good, though had a severe jellyfish sting on one, so watch out. Train rides to Camogli recommended, much clearer water and stunning scenery there.
