Maemuna Sea View Apartment
Maemuna Sea View
A Unique Fisherman's Retreat in Vernazza, Cinque Terre
Perched above the iconic Belforte restaurant, in the very heart of Vernazza, Maemuna Sea View is a one-of-a-kind apartment inspired by the soul of a traditional fisherman's home. Compact, atmospheric and suspended above the sea, it offers an experience that feels like staying aboard a sailing boat, with unforgettable views over the Ligurian waters.
This charming retreat is ideal for travellers looking for authenticity, romance and a deep connection with Vernazza's maritime heritage.
The Space
Maemuna Sea View is thoughtfully designed to maximise comfort while preserving its original character:
Living and Dining Area
Bright and welcoming, featuring a double sofa bed, a round dining table and breathtaking sea views that fill the room with light and atmosphere.
Sea-View Bedroom
A cosy single bedroom overlooking the sea, perfect for falling asleep to the sound of the waves.
Kitchen Corner
Compact yet well equipped with:
Induction hob
Fridge
Microwave
Electric kettle for tea and coffee
Nespresso machine
Ideal for breakfast, light meals or reheating food.
Bathroom
Very compact, with shower, reminiscent of a boat cabin — functional and authentic.
Comfort in Every Season
Natural sea breeze keeps the apartment pleasantly cool in summer
Fans provided for warmer days
Heating available during the permitted months for cosy winter stays
Please note: the apartment does not have air conditioning.
Spectacular Sea Views
The living area offers a front-row seat to Vernazza's dramatic coastline. From glowing summer sunsets to the power of winter storms, the sea is always the star of the show — best enjoyed with a glass of local wine and the sound of waves below.
Ideal For
Couples seeking a romantic and atmospheric escape
Solo travellers and small families looking for an authentic village stay
Photography lovers drawn to dramatic seascapes and unique viewpoints
Important Information
The bathroom and shower are very small, akin to those found on a boat
The apartment is located above Ventegà square and requires climbing steps
Porter service is available on request to assist with luggage
The Legend of Maemuna
The apartment takes its name from Maemuna, a legendary young woman from Vernazza who, according to local folklore, hid from Saracen pirates in a sea cave below the village. Her haunting songs were said to enchant sailors and pirates alike. On stormy nights, locals claim her voice can still be heard echoing through the rocks — visible directly from the apartment windows.
A stay at Maemuna Sea View is also a journey into Vernazza's myths and maritime soul.
