Apartamenti Giada is located in the charming town of Moneglia, from where you can easily discover the famous towns of the Cinque Terre by train - Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore.
There are a total of approx. 20 apartments, all located in different buildings in the historic centre of town. Most are concentrated in the main building on the square where check-in takes place and where there is also a lift. The lovely beach is just a few metres away from the rooms so you can easily enjoy a stroll on the beach. Each apartment has a private parking space also which is a bonus in a popular town like this!

In the centre of the relatively small town of Moneglia there are many good restaurants and several shops, including a small supermarket in the cosy pedestrian main street. All the apartments are near everything including the beach and the standards are consistent throughout. If you want to make major purchases, it is recommended that you shop at the big supermarket in Sestri Levante, located near the district of Riva Trigoso, just before you reach the tunnel towards Moneglia, and where you also find the area's best beach.
The apartments are owned by the very friendly Franco, who is responsible for the daily operations, and he has a lot of help from Rita who is most patient and helpful. Franco and Rita know pretty much everything about the area, and if you are looking for a very good restaurant then Franco will happily advise you.
Check-in is conducted at the front desk in the main building on the town's small square. The apartments are constantly being renovated, and are all in good condition, but very different in design. Extra beds are available in the form of sofa beds, bunk beds, pullout beds or folding beds.
All apartments are modernly furnished and equipped with satellite TV, washing machine, iron, ironing board and washing machine, (this would not be in the apartment but you can use it) and you can also reserve a cot. Some apartments have sea views while others face the town centre and the green mountains. There are apartments with a private balcony and terrace, but all the apartments in the main building have access to a large sun terrace. Most of the apartments have air conditioning. Almost all the apartments have wireless internet, except for Lo Scrigno, but there is always access in the reception area (July 2014).

Nice big terrace with view of the ocean, which were visible between the houses.
Lovely to shop in the streets. And the kitchen worked well.
Rita gave good and thorough instructions.
We had a lovely week in the end of October.
The welcome upon arrival was excellent, met at the station, walked to the apartment, briefing. Showed where recommended restaurants and the office were.
Franco and his team get the highest rating, very good.
Upon departure, a woman from "Franco's" team, came and drove all of our luggage to the station, very good service.
We were well received at arrival, and the apartment was satisfying. It was a bit "used", but everything worked as it should, and the kitchen was well equipped. The apartment was only a couple hundred meters from the beach, but because of the weather.
It want to make this very short, we have lived in Appartamenti Giada 7 times, and want to live here next year. Excellent location in a cosy and Italian town. Good standard and very kind hosts, makes it so that we return.
We stayed here for 3 nights in October. We very very positive surprised by the mild weather and the sea temperature. It was like a nice Scandinavian summer. The city was cosy, a small one, but big enough to explore different restaurants and local shops. The apartment was great. Spacious with a small kitchen and possible to do some laundry. Nice terrace, where you can spot the sea above rooftops.
