We really enjoyed our stay at Stefania‘s property. All communication was excellent, the check-in process was seamless. Her place was clean and cozy, with an amazing location just steps from all there is to do in Vernazza.
We stayed here for 3 nights. The location in excellent and only a 2 minute walk from the beach. Host was great.

Lovely spot!! Very comfortable, lots of pillows and towels.
Great water pressure (for the 2-3 showers a day you will need in the summer) Easy check in.
I choose this place again!
Stefania was amazing and attentive to our needs, we had a minor issue with TV and fixed immediately. Place is ideal but the stairs are quite the jaunt but worth it! We have do many nice people to help if needed, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Thank you Stefania!
Perfect spot for me traveling solo and wanting to hike between towns and explore the Cinque Terre! Stefania was excellent at communication and very responsive when there was an unfortunate leak in the ceiling. There are a lot of steps to climb to get here, so if you have bad knees, this is not the place for you! It is comfortable for 1-2 people but would be pretty tight with 2 more on the pullout, unless maybe they are children. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a homebase for exploring the Cinque Terre.
Three of us stayed here for two nights. Enjoyed the good water pressure in the shower. The unit is tiny but in this area you aren’t hanging out in your room. The stairs are no problem. Don’t bring large luggage to Italy period! Close to train and town. Bed comfy. Didn’t use kitchen. Nothing to take a shower so bring your own. Easy check in/out! Great little place for what we needed. To sleep while exploring beautiful Cinque Terre!

Cozy flat 65 steps up from the central street
Pros: Very good communication with Stefania who addressed a few issues the day after we arrived.
Cozy apartment for two with good proximity to town.
Cons: Sewer smell coming from the bathroom that Stephania tried to address but still lingered. Sewer issues?
Broken shower head that she said will be replaced.
65 steps to the flat, not a problem for us but could be an issue for others.
You couldn’t ask for a better location. It was an easy walk from the train station & in the heart of Vernazza. Yes, it was several steep steps to get there but you come to Cinque Terra for the hiking trails so pack light & enjoy! Our recommendation to the owner would be to have better lighting at the entry way. We arrived after dark & it would have been helpful to have additional lighting. The key require multiple rotations (similar to screwing or unscrewing a cap) in order to gain access. Once you enter the outside door, the “Rock House” is the door straight ahead at that same level, you do not go up the stairs on the left.
This was a good little find - tucked away from the busy centre of Vernazza but incredibly close. My husband and I loved how quiet it was yet a few steps away was the Main Street. We enjoyed our stay.
The property is close to the Main Street but far enough away to not here the daily traveler noise. The room was comfortable and would recommend it to anyone.

Excellent spot to stay while in Vernazza. Need to be able walk up steps with luggage.
We enjoyed our stay at this property! The owner was very helpful, gave great directions about the property, and was very nice! Answered any emails/questions we had quickly and thoroughly. Just the right size and location for the 2 of us! Will definitely stay again!

Many Thanks

Place was well located close to train station and the hike to Corgnilia. We came in March so a bit cold, the room was cold and the system available took a while to warm up the room. We had everything we needed in the room.

Would have liked to have instructions on where to store our luggage before checkin. AC was ok but not great. Should have at least a Bodum for coffee making. Sofa bed did not have sheets when we arrived.
