Holiday Homes and Apartments for Rent in Liguria

Renting a holiday home or apartment in Liguria is often the smartest choice for those wanting to enjoy the region at their own pace, free from the constraints of hotel routines. In a land where the landscape transforms dramatically every few kilometres — from the rocky coast of the Levante to the expansive beaches of the Ponente, from the terraced olive groves inland to the Apennine valleys — having your own base means you can explore without rushing, return whenever you wish and structure your days as you see fit. Holiday rentals in Liguria range from modest apartments tucked into the narrow streets of historic villages to villas with gardens and sea views, offering solutions to suit every type of stay and budget.

This approach works particularly well for stays of at least a week, at which point the nightly cost of an apartment almost always becomes more economical than an equivalent hotel room. It’s the preferred choice for families with children, who can cook independently, shop at local markets and experience the place more authentically, and for groups of friends seeking shared space to gather in the evenings after a day at the beach or hiking. Couples wanting a romantic weekend in Liguria also find this option offers a level of privacy that hotels struggle to match.

Along the Levante coast — from Camogli and Santa Margherita Ligure to Lerici and Cinque Terre — rental apartments are often housed within historic palaces with views over the harbour or bay, or in restored fishermen’s cottages in the most characterful villages. Demand in this area is exceptionally high and prices reflect the destination’s popularity: for Cinque Terre in particular, booking several months ahead for summer is essential, or you’ll find yourself with no availability or inflated prices.

Along the Ponente coast — between Sanremo, Alassio and Finale Ligure — the holiday rental offer is broader and prices generally more reasonable than the Levante, with seafront apartments, garden villas and inland options just kilometres from the coast. Those preferring the Ligurian hinterland, amongst the medieval villages of the Imperia province and the Apennine valleys, will find stone cottages restored at very reasonable prices, often with outdoor space and a tranquillity impossible to find on the coast. A sound option if you plan to use a car to explore the region, as suggested in our guide on what to see in Liguria.
