L'erba Persa was the most perfect place. We are vegans who love animals, and the horses, donkeys, dogs and cats gave us a gorgeous welcome, as did Grazia (and the whole family). A comfortable bed in the sweetest of rooms, and in a location which is perfect to see Cinque Terra. We could alk and trek in the madness and... More

We had a very restful week at Agriturismo l'erba Persa, and as some previous reviewers have mentioned, it is both enjoyable and important to get away from the crowds for a while. This place provided just that - a quiet week away from the throngs of tourists in other, more touristic parts of Italy. At night, the only audible sounds... More

L'erba Persa was an enchanted fairyland and Grazia was the sweetest fairygodmother that one could ever hope for. Just a genuine jewel of a person who I shall remember forever. If I could retroactively change any of my trip, it would be to spend the majority of it with Grazia and Claudio. I felt so distant from hoards of tourists... More

The location was great. An easy walk to the train station and beach area (10-20 minutes). Grazia was very nice and extremely helpful with suggestions for visiting Cinque Terre and surroundings and for recommending restaurants. We did not see much of Claudio but he seemed very pleasant too. The only major problem was the smell of the cats/cat litter (?)... More

Gracia and Claudio are among the nicest hosts I've ever met. It was a beautiful time thanks to them. Their home is so cosy, it just feels good to spend your time there. Everything is very easy, but at the same time its still upscale. I loved the marble-bathroom! I felt like a guest to their family when I was... More

We spent a few day again, ten years later, and the charm and peacefullness of Erba Persa were still operating. Simple, honest and warm contacts with Grazia and Claudio, always ready to help. As many comments suggested, this time we had the Room with a terrasse, and we loved it. It has a private bathroom. Breakfasts are great too. Safe... More

You found the place! The house is from the 18th century, and you can really feel the atmosphere there! Stay here, save $ compared to CT, use the train to access Cinque Terre, it's the best way to do it. You will get a bike to hang around, and you can simply do what you want to do! Great location,...

We stayed at L'Erba Persa with a group of 8. Grazia was great, perfect information on train schedules, boat schedules, where to start walks and which walks are recommended. Also fantastic recommendations for restaurants and "the best ice cream in Italy". Enough parking space inside gate. 5-10 minutes walking from train station, 15-20 minutes from center of Levanto. A very... More

After we found the place, everything was great! Be sure to bring the address or GPS coordinates - we drove by the sign above the front gate for the gate a couple times without realizing it! Grazia is a terrific host - very friendly, helpful with advice and information, and ensured we enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect -... More
