I usually don't write reviews, but I want to make an exception here because these people really helped us out. We stayed in a different bed & breakfast very close by the night before, and were supposed to sleep over 400 km away the next day. However, our car broke down and we were sitting next to the road in the burning sun for pretty much the whole day. In the end our car was towed to a garage nearby and we were left stranded and without a room in a country were we didn't speak the language. 

Our hostess for the night before brought us into contact with Chiara, who still had a room available. She and her husband picked us up at the garage and offered us free dinner from their garden. You could tell they genuinely felt bad for us and wanted to help out however they could. The next morning her husband, whose name I'm sorry to say I never asked, took us back to the garage and helped us settle some details there, acting as a translator for us.

In short, we had a very bad day, but it would have been considerably worse without Chiara and her husband. Thanks guys!

Exceptionally helpful hosts

The property is high up in the hills, in a small village with no store or cafe, unless you are willing to drive all the way down to Levanto and then all the way up on mountain roads after dinner, this place is simply to just turn in for the night and move on the next day. It is not good if you have heavy luggage- too many steps to walk from the parking spot. The room had shabby old furniture with super hard beds and very old smelly extra blankets. It had no extra heating, and the April nights can be cold.  The TV did not work, even the batteries were taken out of the remote controls. Our room shared wall with the kitchen, and early in the morning, when other tenants came for breakfast it was very loud. The walls in the building are thin, so we could hear floors squeaking and doors shutting very late into the night.
Our host cooked us great breakfast with freshly baked bread and tasty coffee. Our view was obstructed by a sun umbrella below, but if we stayed in the top level room, we would have enjoyed splendid view of the hills.
Our host saved us 100 euros on 2 day parking in Levanto while we were hiking Cinque Terre by loaning us her local parking pass, a very kind and friendly lady.

High up in the hills, old smelly room

We wanted a rustic, charming, authentic hillside stay within Cinque Terre.  We found an absolute gem of a place with I Pipetta.  Chiara was wonderfully welcoming, as was her family.  Chiara met us at the car park in her Piaggio to collect luggage.  The car park is not for the faint hearted with limited space, there are however two spaces reserved on the road next to it which are easier to use.  The rooms are clean and comfortable with a truly jaw dropping view.  Chiara was a wonderful hostess, nothing was too much trouble.  Breakfasts included home made chutneys, jams, local honey, ham, cheese, home made cakes, croissants and were served on the outside patio in front of the same outstanding views.  Glorious.  We absolutely loved our stay.  To note, there are 150 steps from the road to the property so is not suited for anyone with mobility issues and is not suited for someone who wants a slick and modern hotel stay.  If you want rustic, authentic and heart warming stay - please stay here.

Wonderfully memorable location

Our two nights at I Pipetta was a truly unique experience. 5 minutes from the Levanto train station (10euro taxi ride) the farm house is tucked into the hills beside a very old Italian village. The owner Chiara is an incredible host, her breakfasts are made with produce from her families farm. Because we didn't have a car, her mother offered to drive us wherever we needed to go.

Chiara also made us our first five course Ligurian style meal, one of the best meals we had in Italy. The guest house is in a small town, the decor is very simple, there are also two local churches, their bells ring every hour on the hour. 

For a relaxing, authentic experience I Pipetta is a great bet. It is a great base for Cinque Terre exploration.

Italian Shangri-La

It is a grat place, we would definitely stay there again and recommend it to our friends. The agriturismo is not placed close to city center but you get a "free parking pass" for the city of Levanto. Rrooms are decent and clean, stuff is very nice, helpful and amusing. The food was great, especially dinners prepared by Chiara and her father.

Great place

This rustic property is situated in a small town in the beautiful hills above the Ligurian coast.  The home is truly family run and the food is as authentic as you will find in Liguria.  The rooms are smple and extremely clean and they are cleaned daily.  The meals were traditional plates done with care and attention.  If you care about fresh food then this is a place for you.  It's also excellent value.   When you book, be sure to confirm dinner if you want it.  

The family is warm and caring. My 3 year old was sick during our stay and the whole family would ask about her health and they served her food that would make her feel better.  They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable.  This is the kind of place that delivers upon the infamous reputation that Italians have for being warm and hospitable.
