UNIQUE: Overlooking the Square, Sea View, Air Conditioning, 2 Bathrooms, SPA

CIN IT011030C2KRXBGUOC, CITRA 011030-LT-0447

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: This historic home, directly facing the square of Vernazza and its harbor, is currently undergoing renovation to enhance its comfort and uniqueness. It will be ready to welcome guests in February 2025. Significant improvements include air conditioning in all rooms, a second bathroom featuring a shower/Hammam with chromotherapy and music via Bluetooth from your mobile device, a new kitchen with custom-designed furnishings, and an ice machine, as well as two additional sleeping arrangements (total capacity: 6 people).

This spectacular house, located in the heart of Vernazza, within its characteristic square, conveys a vibrant atmosphere to its guests. Well-furnished with antique pieces collected from around the world by its owner, who hails from Vernazza.

It can comfortably accommodate six people in two bedrooms and the living room: a master bedroom overlooking the living area, carefully and completely separated by curtains, and a second room with two customized single beds, plus a comfortable sofa that can be converted into two single beds for couples. A crib for children aged 0 to 3 years is also available.

Just seconds away from the home, you can immerse yourself in the vibrant life of this village, enjoying aperitifs, swimming, sunbathing, walks, guided tours, and outdoor dining. The house is equipped with all the amenities to ensure you feel at home.

It is the ideal starting point for exploring the Cinque Terre, the Ligurian Riviera (Portofino, Portovenere, San Fruttuoso di Camogli, Rapallo, Santa Margherita, etc.), and the most beautiful art cities in Italy (Pisa, Florence, Siena, Genoa, etc.). This 70 square meter house is organized across multiple levels, which provides a sense of hierarchy to the rooms and enhances the perception of space.

If you are seeking a special and unique place to spend your vacation and relax with comfortable Hammam seating, perhaps while listening to your favorite music, 'La Piazzetta' is the perfect spot for you.

EXTRA:

Final cleaning fee not included, to be paid at the end of your stay: €60.00
Tourist tax of € 3 per person per day, applicable only for the first three days of stay. This amount must be paid in cash upon arrival, as it is not revenue for our establishment but will be remitted to the municipal treasury.

Great location. Fun apartment. Everything you need.
Property exactly as advertised, better in person vs the photos. 1 bedroom is truly separate and has 2 single beds in bunk formation. 1 bedroom (full bed) is in a corner area of the apartment on a platform with a curtain that closes it off from the rest of the apartment for privacy. Not entirely private but sufficient and a nice use of the space. Great location. Great apartment. Fun art. Very clean. Couch is a bit old/worn but does the job. It was very warm when we were there, but they had a couple tower fans, a bit dusty, a bit weak, but helpful. Host provided wonderful communication and details well in advance of arrival. Entry was seamless. We used the advice to park in La Spezia directly at train station vs. driving to Vernazza and the very limited parking options which still require a shuttle/limited hours, etc.. Train to Vernazza is 10 minutes and very easy. Parking is expensive (we paid approx. 40€/day, covered garage, protected) and train was approx. 10€ per trip each direction. Pick your battle. The expense was worth the convivence for us after seeing the options and trying less expensive options. 100% recommend the hike from Vernazza to Monterosso. Left by 8am, arrived in 1.5-2 hours with stops. Trail was BUSY by the end. Go early! Avoid the other hikers on the narrow trail. Spent the day at the beach in Monterosso (€90 for 3 chairs and 1 umbrella), easy 5' train ride back to Vernazza (also €10). Would book again! Thank you!

No Air conditioning
Really did not choose well my stay in Vernazza. This location did not have air conditioning just a few small fans that did not do much. Slept on the mattress on the floor in the living room with a fan in my face. Could not open the windows for the breeze because of the noise that goes until 11h30 p.m. do not recommend this place for the summer month if they do not install air conditioning.

If you want to be in the heart of Vernazza, this is the place. Live music and the hustle & bustle right out your window including amazing views. You are definitely paying for location- amenities are lacking though- bare minimum (no eating utensils) & bring your own beach towel if you are wanting to go down to the water.

The best apartment in Vernazza
Excellent instructions for easy check-in. First impression - "This place is beautiful". Looking over the main square and out to the sea, it is literally the center of the action --- but after 10:00 pm., you could hear only the surf, as a cat walks across the square. By noon, there are more people in Vernazza than there are in Times Square -- get out of town and go for a hike. Great restaurants nearby.

Great home base in Vernazza
Good communication with host. Easy check in. Biggest plus of this apartment is the location right in Marconi Piazza. There is not a lot of accommodation in Vernazza especially ones that don’t require multiple sets of stairs, only one up to the apartment here. The beds were comfy and we had everything we need although we did not do any email preparation. The kitchen how to basics. We would stay here again.

Great apartment for stay in Cinque Terre!
After a lot of research we decided to base our 3 night stay in Cinque Terre in Vernazza and selected this apartment on VRBO. The apartment could not have been in a better location - right on the plaza in the heart of the town. It was charming inside with a comfortable bed and everything was clean. Checkin and checkout were easy with a lockbox located next to the door of the apartment. A couple of notes that are importnant to mention - entry into the apartment requires walking one flight of 20 stairs, but I guess if you’re visiting Cinque Terre that shouldn’t be an issue. The other thing I glossed over was the apartment does not have AC. It wasn’t an issue for us with a mid October visit (even though the days were in the low 80’s!), but it perhaps might be in the middle of the summer if you prefer a really cool place to sleep. For our purposes however, everything was perfect!

In the heart of Vernazza
My husband, 11-year-old son and I loved our stay at the apartment on Piazza Marconi. The view can’t be beat. The loft bunk bed was such a fun space for our son to call his own. We loved being so close to the restaurants, swimming and shops. Dinner at Gianni Franzi was our favorite meal, but the truffle pizza at Ananossa was also delicious. Pack beach towels if you plan to swim in the cove - a very memorable experience! We made good use of the clothes line and appreciated being able to stretch out on the couch. The buzz in the square at night was fun, but remember to close the windows before bed to block out sounds that start early in morning, such as street cleaners and garbage trucks. Our only recommendation would be to add more fans since it was so hot and there’s no air conditioning.

Great location as right at main piazza and near fishing boats. Terrible location in that it is excessively noisy. No AC so no option to close windows. Limited supplies, 1 towel per person for milt day stay. No cleaning supplies, no paper towel, one dish towel. Suitable space for a couple or parents and 2 children. Not suitable for 4 adults. One queen bed and bunk bed room is repurposed closet. No room for luggage and only one person can stand in the room at a time. Important to know 20 steep steps to unit. Fine for us but could be a challenge for some. Decor is fun and view is charming. Easy to check in and check out.

We loved 5 Terra Bay! The location was the best! The king bed was very comfortable. And the noise level at the apt was not real loud. So we think it is well insulated. We love Vernazza and this was our 4th visit in the last 20 years. We plan to return someday!
