Ca' de Tobia

We stayed one night at this lovely little guest house on our road trip along the coast. It’s in a perfect location only a short walk away from good restaurants & opposite the beach. Sergio is the most perfect host, friendly & welcoming with plenty of excellent recommendations for good places to eat & visit in Noli & beyond. The rooms are comfortable & absolutely spotless, with well equipped bathrooms. Breakfast is amazing, Ligurian style with freshly baked Foccaccia, croissants, locally made jams, apricot tart, home made smoothies & excellent coffee all absolutely delicious & the best we had on our trip. Thank you Sergio, we all really enjoyed our stay & hope to return very soon.

Perfect, big room and fancy bathroom, with a gorgeous bed and unique breakfast. Close to the sea and all restaurants in Noli. And Sergio makes all the difference: his recommendations, his attention to details, his humour just enriches the whole experience.

We loved this little guest house. Beautifully decorated down to the last detail. Breakfast on the terrace was fabulous. Andrea and Sergio were very helpful. We had the room facing the sea which was lovely; road noise was not a problem with the window shut. Really enjoyed Noli: not over-touristy and few foreigners in June. Definitely hope to be back.

We picked Noli as a place to visit for three nights, not by throwing darts at a map, but with a "find a small town on the Italian riviera that has a reasonably close train station" guideline. My wife then selected Ca' de Tobia because it was highly rated, close to the old town, and directly across from the beach and promenade. The good: Our taxi driver from the Spotorno-Noli train station knew Ca' de Tobia, so we had no trouble getting there. We were met at the door by Andrea, who showed us around the immaculate property and briefed us on how to use the three keys we'd need to get back in. Sergio was our point of contact after that, greeting us in the morning with a large spread of delicious food and drinks. I feel bad not eating much breakfast, after his work preparing so much food every morning. He was great to chat with in the morning, and he provided excellent recommendations, from which restaurants we might like to eat dinner at, to what we might want to see during the day. (Visit Finalborgo! It's wonderful.) The property is very nicely furnished and appointed, and was kept spotlessly clean. The first night, I believe we had the entire property to ourselves, and it was blissfully quiet. The less-good: While I thought that the mattress was comfortably squishy, my wife found it too soft and uncomfortable in that regard. The windows in the room we stayed in were behind a dresser that was exactly the height of the bottom of the window, so if you had anything at all on the dresser, you couldn't open the window. The floors are bare, which probably keeps the place cool in summer, but would also allow noise to carry if someone were in the hallway making any amount of noise. Proximity to the beach and promenade may mean more noise during high season. Overall, our stay in Noli was extremely pleasant, and the small things I complain about are indeed small things. Sergio in particular made our time at Ca' de Tobia a pleasure.

We stayed at Ca' de Tobia for two nights and were blown away by the experience. The location is excellent - right across the street from the beach and a 5-minute walk from the center of town. The daily Mediterranean breakfasts were extraordinary featuring local products, pastries, and fresh juice. The guesthouse is affiliated with the Vittoria beach club across the street, which is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy delicious food and drink. We loved getting to know Andrea, the fabulous and helpful host, who assisted us with reservations and provided hiking advice during our stay. We hope to return soon!

Ca' de Tobia is a fantastic place to stay! We come here for several years, at first with our daughters and now together. Every time we feel welcome and a little bit at home. Due to the kindness of Andrea & Sergio. But also from Erica and the other crew at the beautiful Vittoria Club. The location is super, right at the beach. Clean and fine ambiance. Nice rooms and excellent breakfast!
