We stayed four days and could not be happier! The location was perfect and we are so glad we stayed in Corniglia. From the train station you can take the pedestrian path and it is about halfway up the steps. Other option is to take the bus and have the driver let you off at the pharmacy. We did that option as we did have a small carry on each and there are a ton of stairs. The very nice owner let us drop our bags while the house was being cleaned as we arrived early in the morning. She then came and found us in Corniglia when we could check in.
The view is amazing! Wide open, gorgeous and quiet and private despite people going up and down the stairs all day. The train tracks are below but are not an issue when sitting outside or sleeping. You can hear the train while outside but for us, we didn’t find it to be a big deal (and certainly not a distraction) and I only heard it a little from inside on a rare occasion.
The home has everything you need from a large fridge and freezer, comfy bed, blow dryer and iron.
I loved the foot path to and from the gate as there was a lemon tree and lots of great flowers, cactus and trees.
We had several great meals in town to include the best hamburger ever at Bar Nunzia and amazing food at La Laterena. I also highly recommend the wine bar as they have delicious tapas!
We loved sipping wine out on the patio. The owner has gotten different outdoor patio furniture than what is shown in the photos and it was very comfortable and a great place to relax.
We would definitely stay here again!
