Dosso is a small historical village - only 12 families still live there throughout the year, taking care of the olive trees and vineyards. Ideal point for an active holiday: several walking paths start directly from the village into the green and peaceful countryside just behind the coast. Perfect for jogging, trekking and mountainbiking - e.g. to the Foce di Dosso or Bardellone. All villages of the Cinque Terre are easily reached by train or boat from Levanto. Levanto is very much appreciated by all fans of watersports offering best conditions: surfing, wind surfing. You can hire rowing and motor-boats, surfboards and kajaks. There is a diving-school. In the little town there are many bars, cafés and restaurants of best quality. Regional specialities are the torta di riso (salted rice-cake), the pesto, fried bread and the gattfin (big vegetable ravioli). During the summer season there are lots of cultural events: classical music, markets, village festival (25.7.), processions (16.8)

Notes: The apartment is perfect for big families or groups of friends. Nevertheless the house is cosy and 'home like'. One finds the atmosphere of an old country house in an old and peacefull village. The landlady welcomes her guests and gives them all the information concerning the house and the area of Levanto and the Cinque Terre. She welcomes them with a bottle of wine of Levanto valley so that they can taste one of the typical product of the region. I

Vacanza indimenticabilw7e!

Sole79 Venice, Italy
Review Submitted: July 26, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Vacanza indimenticabile: casa degli Olivi è perfettamente localizzata e funzionale per raggiungere le 5 terre! dotata di qualsiasi confort, ha permesso a me ed ai miei 7 amici di passare 5 giorni stupendi! ciascuno ha avuto la sua privacy, ma non sono mai mancati i momenti in compagnia nel fantastico soggiorno e le colazioni e gli aperitivi nella terrazza da cui si può godere un panorama mozzafiato!
L'accoglienza e la disponibilità della signora Anna hanno messo la cigliegina sulla torta facendoci sentire a casa!...da consigliare agli amici più cari!

Zuhause mit weitem Blick

lacher-liefer bremen
Review Submitted: October 30, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
Sehr angetan sind wir von dem Ferienhaus in dem kleinen Ort Dosso.
Die Angaben im Online Inserat untertreiben eher etwas, es ist wirklich schön.
Sauberkeit ist gut, der Zustand gepflegt und individuell gestaltet. Die Ausstattung ist toll, auch Holzkohlegrill und Terassenmöbel ausreichend vorhanden. Die Austattung der Küche ist ebenfalls ok. (sogar Waschmaschine und Spülmaschine sind vorhanden), man muß sich ein wenig den lokalen Gegebenheiten anpassen. So ist z. B. die einzige Möglichkeit Kaffee zu kochen, eine kleine Espresso Kanne, die man über den Gasherd bedient.
Der einzige Schwachpunkt sind die Betten, die Matratzen sind verbesserungsbedürftig.
Die Betreuung durch die Vermieterin war vorbildlich, persönlich und sehr fürsorglich. Sie steht auch mit Tips für Restaurants etc. parat. Allerdings würden wir empfehlen, in den Bars in Levanto (direkt mit Meerblick) einen Aperitiv zu nehmen und dann selbst zu kochen, schien uns das Beste zu sein.
Wir waren alle übereinstimmend der Meinung, hier in der Nähe von Levanto sehr viel besser unter gebracht zu sein (offener, weniger beengt und sehr viel günstiger) als in den 5 Dörfern der Cinque Terre.
Wir würden es jederzeit an Freunde weiter empfehlen, mit bis zu sechs
Personen ist man hier gut untergebracht, wobei ein Auto unabdingbar ist.
Als ortstypische Aktivitäten empfiehlt sich neben Baden das Wandern, wobei in der Cinque Terre der Großteil der Wege kostenpflichtig ist.
Da wir diesen Gebührenterror verabscheuen, haben wir alternative Routen gesucht.
Owner's Response: I'm really glad that you enjoyed your stay at Casa degli Olivi and Dosso ! I'll follow your suggestion about matresses: I'll buy new ones as soon as possible! Thank you for apreciating my suggestions about what to do during your holidays: I'll always try to do my best in order my guests to have the most relaxing, interesting and full of joy holidays. Come again !

Hat uns ausgesprochen gut gefallen!!

baal Salzburg
Review Submitted: April 26, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
'Wir haben unseren Urlaub in diesem Haus ausgesprochen genossen. Das Haus ist liebevollst eingerichtet und dekoriert, es war alles vorhanden, was man für einen bequemen und angenehmen Aufenthalt benötigt. Die Vermieterin hat auch mit div. Unterlagen für Unternehmungen und Ausflüge vorgesorgt. Ich würde es allerdings lediglich für 6 Personen empfehlen. Kleinere Kinder hätten in Dosso selbst eher zu wenig Spiel- oder sichere Bewegungsmöglichkeiten - Gefahr der Fadesse bei den Kindern und Stress für die Eltern. Für Teenies ungeeignet - keine Unterhaltung, Eltern müssten ständig als Chauffeure herhalten... Empfehlenswert für Paare oder befreundete Paare, die Erholung, Ruhe, schönes Ambiente suchen, gute Wander- und Ausflugsmöglichkeiten. Hervorragende Möglichkeiten, gut einzukaufen, um sich sehr gut selbst zu versorgen - oder auch sehr gute Restaurants.
Wir würden wieder hin fahren!!!

Great area, nice village,

Review Submitted: July 10, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
The area is great and very firendly. If you plan holiday there though, you must have a car - the village is on the hill, and the bus comes not often.

We were however somewhat disappointed with the house, although it is sure very nicely decorated:

- There is no car traffic in the village, but if you hope that you can sleep well there - forget it, at 6:30 in the morning you will have motorbikes starting right under you windows. People get up early there and so will have you, because the noise is great.

- The house has no air conditioner and it gets very hot even in the night, especially the bedroom which is right under the terrace. In July/August it is very uncomfortable to sleep, and in the daytime the house is very hot.

- The house has only TWO big bedrooms, the third bedroom is VERY small and has no window - it is definitely too small for two people, and has almost no fresh air.

- The quality of bathrooms and the kitchen equipment is bad. The dishwasher is so old you have the impression it breaks into pieces every time you touch it. The small plastik detail was broken during our stay in the house and the hostess did hot hesitate to charge 50 euro for it in a very unfriendly manner.

- All the fotos on the webpage a made with a very wide-angle lens, so be prepared that the rooms will be much smaller than it seems.

- The house is NOT good for families with small kids and elderly people - the stairs are very steep, and if you have kids who are younger than 3, you will be constantly busy with catching and whatching them.

The summary: the house is nice but definitely much too expensive for what it offers. It is suitable for maximally 5 peolple and not 7, as it is stated. The equipment is old and outdated and the bathrooms are bad. One can find much better houses in the area for lower price.
