Note on location and natural environment The property is located right next to the cliff, immersed in the marine nature of the Cinque Terre. In some periods of the year, especially in spring, the waves can bring the so-called Velelle (Velella velella) towards the coast, small marine organisms similar to jellyfish, a sign of a clean sea and a healthy ecosystem. Their presence can sometimes generate a slight organic odour in the air, entirely natural and not related to the cleanliness of the house. This phenomenon is rare, transient and part of the authenticity of the natural environment in which the structure is located. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Refrigerator - Stovetop ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Outdoor areas - Balcony ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total (up to 55 lbs per pet) - Fee: EUR 70 - Service animals exempt from fees ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - On the waterfront ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 861 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/82000000/81090000/81085000/81084941/67b84cef.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### BOOK NOW!

Jun 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Clean apartment but smelled rough This apartment is in a beautiful spot and was very clean. The layout is great with common space on first floor and two bedrooms and bathroom on second floor. The major downside is that the entire apartment smelled like a dirty diaper during our stay. We were told it was the septic system by the sea but even keeping the bathroom door closed did not lessen the odor. Thankfully we didn’t stay around the apartment except to sleep, but it’s a large price tag a place that smells so rough. ##### Katie B.
