We - a family with a teenage girl - enjoyed Cristina’s house a lot. Peaceful location in the hills, surrounded by olives and nature, great view over the sea and a wonderful garden (the outdoor shower!) thank you also to Sara and her great recommendations!
We enjoyed our stay in Casa Klaus very much. The quite place in a small village between the green hills is located near to the sea and near to beautiful small towns full of ancient places of interest. It is the perfekt place to recreate the body, soul and mind. Very recommended!
Kondition und gesunde Füsse sind schon notwendig für den Weg zur Unterkunft und vor allem von der Unterkunft zum Auto. Wir haben uns in der Casa Klaus sehr wohl gefühlt - Garten ganz für uns, viel Platz - und Diano Marina als ein liebenswertes unaufgeregtes Städtchen erlebt.
Das Appartment ist sehr ruhig gelegen und liegt wenige Fahrminuten ca. 100 Höhenmeter oberhalb von Diano Marina in den Olivenhügeln. Das Auto muss etwas abseits vom Haus oben auf Höhe der Straße geparkt werden. Der Zugang zum Haus ist sehr steil und der Weg hinunter von der Fahrstraße ist etwas holprig. Man sollte also schon gut und sicher zu Fuß sein.Die Wohnung ist wie auf den Bildern dargestellt und liebevoll eingerichtet. Die Küche hat leider nur ein 2-Platten Kochfeld und keine Spülmaschine. Ein Toaster wäre auch noch schön gewesen. Alles in allem war aber alles vorhanden. Die Terasse mit Außendusche (mit Meerblick!) ist toll, wir haben sie ausgiebig genutzt. Wir haben die Zeit dort sehr genossen.
Es war fast alles genau wie wir uns vorgestellt habenSauber, geräumig, gut ausgestattet und sehr nette Vermieterin.Einziger Minuspunkt ist der Steile Weg von der Wohnung zur Hauptstrasse, insbesondere mit gepäckt ist es mühsam. Der Weg geht vorbei an einer Wohnung vorbei mit 2 großen Hunden, die uns giftig anbellten. Einmal war das Gartentor offen, sie standen vor uns drohend. Sehr beängstigend

Good morning, Alex,
Thank you for your review, which gives Casa Klaus top marks.
I'm sorry about the two old dogs who obviously scared you. However, you could have let me know one of the many times we met, and I would have explained that they only make noise but have never bothered anyone, much less attacked them. I'm very sorry you never told me about them.
The pedestrian path that connects Casa Klaus is the key to its silence and peace.
Wunderbarer Aufenthalt in liebevoll restaurierter alter Olivenölmühle. Etwas abseits des Touristenrummels im Ort. Sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet, sehr aufmerksame und kinderliebe Vermieterin. Besonderen Spaß hatten wir jeden Morgen unter der Außendusche mit Meerblick. Insgesamt eine sehr schöne Ferienwohnung mit Garten.
We have spent two wonderful weeks in Casa Klaus. Cristina welcomed us warmly and helped us bring the luggage to the apartment. She is very hospitable and helpful. Casa Klaus is a wonderful apartment in a quiet area with a beautiful view of the sea and the olive trees. The traces of previous residents are still visible and carefully included in the interior of the apartment. It’s a great holiday location if you like peace. If you want to enjoy the Italian holiday and beach life, there are plenty of options in the area with its nice villages along the coast.

Tolle Ferienwohnung in absolut erholsamer Umgebung
Sehr schöne Ferienwohnung in ruhiger Umgebung. Die Wohnung ist völlig durchdacht eingerichtet und es war alles da, was wir brauchten. Wir haben von dort aus Touren in die Umgebung gemacht und wir waren auch baden.
Anfang Juli war es noch nicht überlaufen.
Die Vermieterin und auch ihre Familie waren sehr nett und sie haben uns in jeder Hinsicht unterstützt.
Abends, von unseren Ausflügen zurückgekehrt, waren wir immer froh, in unser ruhiges Heim zu kommen.
Wir würden jederzeit wieder Urlaub hier machen.

Perfect italien holiday
We have spent ten wonderfull days at Casa Klaus in August 2017 with our son and we enjoyed every single one.
The lovely refurbished appartement with a great view from old olive trees to the sea, is a great spot for relaxing holidays. The lovely host Christina, who has grown up in the area has provided us with great tipps for our stay. She also lives in Milan and she has great tipps for a visit as well. We warmely recommend Casa Klaus for a very italian holiday.

Sofort wohlgefühlt
Nach unseren Ausflügen kamen wir immer gerne wieder in die Casa Klaus zurück.
Von der Vermieterin wurden wir auch sehr zuvorkommend behandelt.
