Lovely residence with amazing views
Beautiful room. Very comfortable beds. Modern furnishings. View is amazing and check in easy and efficient. Staff very helpful on arrival. We were only able to stay one night but would have loved to stay longer. Definitely would come back if available. The area is know for its beauty and there are narrow stairs as it is built into the mountain, but there is also a winding road/path up to the residence so stairs can be minimized. There are two terraces to sit and enjoy the breathtaking view of the town and hills.

The view alone at this property from the balcony is worth the cost! My husband and I stayed in La Spezia and booked one night in Manarola at this property. We took in the breathtaking sunset from the balcony and then watched a lightning storm off in the distance under the stars. A memorable stay for sure!

My husband and I booked the honeymoon suite and were blown away by the incredible views from our private terrace. It was the perfect getaway and wish we stayed more than two nights because it really was so beautiful and relaxing.

Such a beautiful terrace! The room was gorgeous and comfortable. Suggestions for improvement considering the price: we were only given 1 bathrobe, the terrace should have an umbrella already setup, the room needs a kettle for making tea and ideally a mini-fridge and microwave. We loved our stay and would still highly recommend.

Wonderful stunning view and very cute apartment.
Great location, comfortable bed, nice hot tub, epic deck.
Could use a refrigerator or ice machine to chill some wine but honestly the view is to die for.

Quite a hike up and down
More strenuous climbing than most cities, but doable for us 74 year olds. Great views from room. Bed and linens are both good.

The view from the balcony is absolutely amazing. Well worth the walk up the steep hill.
The bed is super comfortable and the balcony is the best thing ever.
On the downside, the shower is extremely small and very slippery to get out of, given that water sprays all over the entrance.
The wifi is very patchy when sitting on the balcony but is good inside the room.

We don’t understand some of the poor reviews of this place. We had a magical stay in the junior suite. We canceled all our dinner reservations to have dinner on the balcony all nights. You can’t get a better balcony and sunset view in Manarola. Yes, it is of course some steps and steep hills to walk but that is the case for all hotels in Cinque Terre, and it is honestly not that bad. It’s only like 2-3 floors. The people that have pointed out this as a problem have clearly not done their research on where they are going.
Check in was easy. The owner will message you on hotels.com the day or a few days before and ask to write you on WhatsApp where he will send you information about self check in.
We, a couple in our thirties from Sweden, will definitely come back.

Think Twice
Don’t stay here!!! This place had good reviews on this site but I should’ve looked at Google. Incredibly terrible customer service at this place that has good potential.
This isn’t a real hotel. The staff communicated via WhatsApp which is fine. They sent me instructions on how to check in. However, it wasn’t very clear on how to actually get to the place itself. Once we finally arrived, we got the key from a lockbox. However; it was a generic skeleton key and incredibly difficult to use. We got in the suite and hotels.com sends their usual “how was check-in” email. I answer honestly. They must’ve notified the staff because I then got rude messages on WhatsApp threatening to evict me for leaving a negative “review”. Couldn’t believe it.
