Loved the location and views, the room was clean with a fabulous sea view. The property had everything we needed with a homely feel, and the shared terrace was great to have - we had it to ourselves any time we used it. Tatyanas communication was great and sent clear instructions of how to find the property and was easily contactable. Would only recommend this property to those with good mobility as it’s uphill. We had a fantastic stay and will definitely recommend to anyone visiting Cinque Terre.

The location of the place is excellent. Very easy to check in as well! The view is breathtaking and the terrace on the rooftop could be the best spot to see the sunset and Manarola altogether.

Despite the location and the breathtaking view, some essentials were missing in the room and should be there out of courtesy. There was no soap, no shampoos, no shower gels, no pillows (only 2 tiny ones), no bed sheets. If those are not provided, the guests should be informed accordingly so they come prepared.

It truly exceeded our expectations! We found it very peaceful and appreciated the thoughtful use of natural materials and simplicity in the design of the space. And the framed view of the sea—so lovely! The bed was very comfortable, the mini split warmed the room well (it was Manarola in December after all!) and there was plenty of hot water for showers after a day of exploring the area. While we didn’t have much time to fully appreciate them, the common area and rooftop terrace looked very inviting. It would have been fun to do some stargazing up there. The location was great—like living inside a postcard for a bit with the drama of the coastline and the colorful houses clustered on the cliffs. It was close enough to the train station and restaurants yet at the end of the lane, just above the cliffs. We loved how the place seemed like our own private oasis—just us and the sea!

The tub drained very slowly and standing in the accumulating water while showering was off-putting. We also wish we were allowed to have food in the room/common area/terrace.

The location and the view were spectacular. Our room was very clean. Tatyana took care of all our needs. She was wonderful and communicative. We parked in the garage and it was well worth the extra money to park there. She met us at the garage and made sure we knew how to get to the hotel. I cant say enough about how much we appreciated her!!

The rooms are a little small and you can hear most of whats going on in the halls due to the sliding doors. But that would jot deter us from staying there again!!

Amazing balcony with an incredible 270 degree ocean view. We spent several mornings on the balcony and really enjoyed relaxing there. Our room had a lovely large ocean view window that was also quite nice. Comfortable beds and decent shower.

Very minor feedback. Window could benefit from shades. The staff were a bit absent - our second day, there were no coffee cups available since all had been used the prior day and not yet replaced.

The location of the room is absolutely perfect, a 2 minute walk from the train station. The view from the room looks over the sea and you have access to a terrace. You have access to a coffee machine and kettle. Tatiana was super friendly and kind and allowed us to leave our bags upstairs for a few hours after we checked out. Grazie Mille Tatiana ❤️

For a short stay it wasn’t needed but if you were staying longer it could be nice to have cooking facilities.

The view. The quietness. The top terrace. Instructions to get in were clear.

We only had 1 set of pillows our 1st 2 nights. Some1 came in & cleaned our room when we didn't ask 4 this, touched & folded my pajamas which totally grossed me out & upset me just b4 our last night there. Took AWAY our bath towels which were barely used & did NOT give us new ones. Replenished all the Shower gels, which we didn't have the 1st 2 days at all. It was a weird experience, truthfully.

Location of the apartments was very near the station and you won’t be able to find a better view than terrace on the top floor. View from the room was splendid as well. Hosts provided with every detail on how to check in and how to manage around, they were always online in case we needed anything. Great hospitality

We were staying on the bottom floor and Wi-Fi there wasn’t working as good as on the higher floors.

The seaview from the room is breathtaking, even better on the rooftop with lounge chairs! Convenient self check-in process. All the essentials are here in the room with nice add-ons such as beach towels or complimentary tea/coffee/sweets in the cosy area. Brilliant location and even unexpected cleaning service during our short stay. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful location with views to the harbor & Ligurian sea from your window. We stayed in the Aargan room. There is a shared guest balcony that we used both days we were there for drinks/snacks and the hostess was very cordial and helpful. The room had enough space, the bed was comfortable, the shower was larger than many accomodations in Italy and all the facilities worked just fine. We didn't really need air conditioning (opening the window was fine), but turned it on & it worked. Easy to check in/out using online registration. We arrived by ferry & climbed the stairs (with luggage) our first day. Would definitely recommend walking up Via Belvedere where it meets Via Renato Birolli just east of the tunnel to the train station instead of taking the stairs if you have luggage with wheels. Small refrigerator in the room kept our prosecco and aperol cold so we could enjoy more time on the upstairs balcony where we met some other guests from all over the world.
