Came here to Sestri Levante for a walk in the nice old town and a stroll along the ocean. This…read moreparking lot here is just by a small park (with public toilet) and not even 5mins away from the old town by foot. And just by the ocean. A perfect location. We came on a sunny sunday and expected a full lot. But surprisingly it was almost empty at around11.30am. There are some free parking lots, but they are pretty busy and also further away. I don't mind to pay a few Euros and just get it done with. Paid under 9 Euros here for 4.5 hours. Fair price for a popular town. The parking lot feels safe, it's easy to get to and also easy and quick to get out of town and back on the Autostrada. There's no shade, but the spaces are big enough to easily hold an SUV. Surely a great spot to park your car. Will park here again next time.

If you want to get as close to the town as possible, then this is the place to park your car in…read morePortofino. It's a lovely - ok a bit expensive - town and well worth a visit. Prices are on the high side with over 5 Euro an hour. But if you know that in advance - as we did - then there's not reason to get mad. You pay for the location, and that's fair enough. It's inside a building, so it's covered. But it's quite tight and narrow inside, so be careful when you go around corners. Not every spot will fit your car. Be aware that there is also a sub-level, which many miss (and just keep going up). We had a mid-sized SUV and did ok. I've even seen a Ferrari. So if this guy can do it, you can do as well. From here it's only a few steps to the town and waterfront. If we're back in Portofino one day, we will park here again. Payment is by cash or credit card.
