Il Canneto is located in a residential area of Sestri Levante, the seaside town on the eastern Ligurian coast famous for Baia del Silenzio and Baia delle Favole. The setting is quiet, a short distance from the tourist heart of town but secluded enough to guarantee peace, with the property’s garden and pool serving as a retreat during the hottest hours.
Sestri Levante railway station is just 850 metres away, convenient for those arriving without a car or wishing to travel along the coast to Riva Trigoso or Genoa. Sestri Levante’s beach is about 1.2 km away, while the picturesque Baia del Silenzio is 1.3 km away. For those who enjoy walking, the Punta Manara headland, with its scenic trails overlooking the sea, is 1.6 km away. Genoa-Sestri Airport is about 45 km away, an option for those arriving by plane from northern Italy or abroad.
A few minutes’ walk away are restaurants such as Ristoro and Osteria la Piccola, both within 300 metres, ideal for sampling Ligurian cuisine based on fish and pesto. D. Sedini Park, 450 metres away, offers a green space for a shaded break. In summer the area comes alive with seaside tourism and walks along the gulf, while in the off-season Sestri Levante keeps a more relaxed pace, perfect for day trips to Portofino and the Cinque Terre, both reachable within a day.
