Incredibile views in Manarola

A charming home with incredible ocean views in Manarola, which we thought was the loveliest town of Cinque Terre. We were very well oriented by the owners friend, and received some excellent restaurant recommendations.

Storybook location

Cinque Terre in general is a remarkable place. From the turquois ocean to the mountains to the colorful homes nestled into the mountain sides. Lorella's property couldn't have been in a better location to take it all in. Lorella was very accommodating and responsive to our needs.

Best View in Manarola !

This has to be the best view from any property in Manarola ! A wonderful property, clinging to the rocks with delightful balconies and terraces. Lorella was most helpful with the booking and arrival processes and obviously takes great pride in her lovely family home. The property is in a quiet part of town with just the sound of the sea crashing against the rocks and enjoys great privacy. Definitely worth the walk up the hill ! We would thoroughly recommend this property.

Incredible doesn't even begin to describe this place

We (my husband, brother, and our 2 moms) LOVED everything about this unique home. From the waves crashing at night, the 3 different balconies, the outdoor shower, the beautiful decor, and the absolute best views in Manarola... period. Lorella was fantastic and communicated quickly with anything we needed. The place is truly magical and we will be back!!! Thank you Lorella, your beautiful home was the highlight of our 2 weeks in Europe!

Incredible Views in Cinque Terra

This apartment with its garden covers 4 levels, each with a spectacular panoramic view of the Mediterranean coast and Cinque Terra. There are several stairs, including to get into the apartment. Some of the rooms have air conditioning and ceiling fans which was needed during a very hot stay. The host was very helpful on our arrival. We would return. Loved the views

Great location.

Properties in Cinque Terre are usually small. This property was on the larger side. The view was just amazing. Improvements to the broken shower on the main bedroom level should be made. Lorella was easy to work with and helped with arranging a doctor visit. Would recommend without hesitation.

Absolutely Stunning!!

We spent 5 amazing nights here in Manarola and we are already trying to plan a trip back. The home is absolutely perfect! The beds are comfortable, the views are spectacular. We chose to bring back dinner and wine to enjoy on the balcony because it's the best view on the island. Lorella is an outstanding host and goes through the house with great detail when you arrive. Which helps you know the house simply. She also has great recommendations on hikes, restaurants , the trains and the ferry. We hiked from Manarola to Corniglia one of the days and it was challenging but gorgeous. I HIGHLY recommend booking this home if you have the opportunity. We are still smiling thinking of our time spent here. LOVELY

What a fantastic Villa overlooking the Ligurian sea. Perfect settin for a wonderful stay in CT

The Villa was everything that was marketed on the Home Awwy site. Rita and Lorella were great hosts helping us out with local sightseeing matters and responding quickly to texts when we had problems starting the dishwasher and washing machine. The site of the Villa overlooking the Ligurian Sea in Manarola was perfect and the views Bellissimo. Yes there are steps but you know that when you are visiting the Cinque Terre towns. Could not have asked for a more perfect site for us to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Highly recommend the Villa to couples looking for a once in a life time experience watching the early morning scenes from the master bedroom overlooking the sea and having dinner and drinks while watching the sun set. Loved every aspect of the Villa.

Cliffside Retreat

Lorella’s property overlooking the small harbor in Manarola is one of a kind. The 3 story home sits on a cliff overlooking the harbor below, with the bedrooms and kitchen/living room area split among the three levels. The views are something from a movie and the 3 bedrooms are spacious and easy to keep cool with the AC units in each. There is a washing machine for your laundry that you can hang to dry in the breeze from the ocean. The kitchen is equipped with all that you need to dine in should you want. The check process was super simple and take Lorella & Rita up on the offer for someone to transport your bags up to the house. I cannot thank Lorella enough for all her assistance with our booking (from a car service from Genoa to transport to Lucca when the trains went on strike) and allowing us to stay in her beautiful home. If you are looking for a relaxing retreat in a laid-back town then look no further. Thanks again Lorella, we hope to be back soon.

Exceeded expectations

Very hard to peel ourselves away from such a beautiful property. Lorella has maintained a beautiful property in an amazing location. We were delighted to have this as our home base as we explored the region. We were greeted in Manarola by Lorella's friend, Rita. A very warm and gracious lady, who was extremely helpful in adding to the tips and guidance we had already been gathering. We would have been glad to have spent more time with Rita! We found the highlight of Cinque Terre to be the great hikes we took, followed by fun in the water, whether kayaking or a boat rental. We got lucky having chosen Manarola as a home base. This is a great town, somewhat lesser traveled by the larger crowds which can be found in Montorosso or Vernazza. In all cases, the largest crowds tend to be day visitors, making mornings and evenings much more relaxing. Our morning routine quickly settled in by picking up fresh produce and provisions for breakfast, and bringing them back to enjoy on one of the terraces of Belvedere 226. We planned our adventures for the day while looking over a beautiful harbor. In hindsight, the swimmers among us should have been going for open water swims each morning - the crystal clear waters were so calm. We hiked, kayaked, rented a boat in Vernazza, rode bikes from Levanto to Framura, snorkeled, relaxed on beaches, and more during the daytime. Evenings ranged from lovely dining experience (Miky) to take out. Wine tasting at various locations, with the wine tasting experience in Vernazza a particular highlight. All the while, the beautiful home base in Manarola. Lorella's property is beautiful, clean, extremely well equipped. I consider myself a decent photographer, and can comfortably say neither my photos, nor the ones on this website due justice to the beauty of this location.

Killer views

This is the house when you look up at the hills and I want to stay in that house! Everything in the house is comfortable and well provided. The location is excellent. Manarola is a great town to stay in out of the five. You will climb many hills and many stairs wherever you are in the Cinque. The small walkways with no cars are part of the charm and the experience. You will not be disappointed if you stay here.

The best view

This property has an incredible location. With it’s amazing views and the sound of the waves it is impossible to not relax here. Because of it’s fantastic location it does mean that there’s quite a big hill to get up to get to the house and lots of steps in the house, that would make it difficult for smaller children or those with accessibility issues. The air conditioning was a life saver in the summer sun. Definitely a lovely place to watch some beautiful sunsets with a glass of wine!

Unique place for holidays

Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Woche in Manarola. Das lag auch an unserem tollen Quartier. Der Platz des Ferienhauses ist einzigartig auf einem Fels mit unglaublich schönen Ausblick auf Meer, die Küste und den Hafen von Manarola. Das Haus selbst war sehr schön und liebevoll eingerichtet. Gäste mit eingeschränkter Bewegung haben es wahrscheinlich nicht so leicht, sich über die Treppen zwischen den 3 Etagen (und auf die Liegeterrasse) zu bewegen. Lorella als Vermieterin hat alles toll vorbereitet, abgewickelt und auch gute Tipps parat gehabt. Vielen Dank! Wir kommen sicher nochmal wieder an diesen tollen Ort. Noch ein Hinweis: Das Parken mit dem Auto ist in Manarola nicht so einfach und schlägt mit 120€ p.w. zu Buche, wenn man nicht einen der wenigen freien Plätze ergattert.

Außergewöhnlich

Die Kommunikation mit Lorella war sehr gut. Alle relevanten Informationen bekamen wir schon vorab somit war die Anreise und der Check-in reibungslos. Das Haus entsprach genau der Beschreibung und war eigentlich noch besser als erwartet. Die Küche ist vollständig ausgestattet und funktioniert tadellos. Die Terrassen sind einzigartig und geben dem Haus einen unvergleichlichen Erhohlungsfaktor. Die zusätzlichen Informationen für Manarola und Cinque terre haben sehr geholfen und den Urlaub bereichert.
