We loved this location. We got to visit all 5 villages and were so glad to pick Manarola and specifically this apartment. The views were stunning and very easy to get to. Just as the pictures and description. Would definitely consider staying there again!
Beautiful views from our terrace. MANAROLA was the best place for us to be while we hiked Cinque Terre. The twin beds were in the hard side for the two adults who stayed there. Thee queen bed was fine.

Thank you for your review and I’m glad you enjoyed your stay at my House and found Manarola to be the perfect location. However, I am sorry to hear that 2 of your party found the twin beds didn’t suit them.
I hope you will return one day.

We loved this house on many fronts- incredible place to call home fur a few days! …plenty of space, kitchen with rooftop patio/seating, gorgeous expansive views from every room, and privacy and proximity to the train and town. Kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed to feel at home. Exactly as described with easy check-in. (doorways and ceilings are low and stairs are steep so be mindful of that if you have any mobility concerns).

Casa Bella Vista is certainly true to its name. What a special and spectacular property! We stayed with our 2, 23 yo sons (both over 6’ tall) and we all agreed it was amazing. The home itself was clean and well stocked. The towels were oversized and the sheets were very comfortable. I mention the height of our sons because the inside stairs could pose a challenge for taller individuals, however they did not have any issues. The walk to the apartment is no more challenging than any walk in Cinqueterre (less, actually) so was to be expected. The uniqueness of the home really made it a pleasurable stay! It truly felt like ‘home’. And…the rooftop view truly makes this property worth every penny.

Beautifully well kept property. Amazing communication from manager with lots of traveler flexibility. House had EVERYTHING! Great location with stunning view!
Jo was very responsive and the photos in the listing are accurate. We have been to Manarola previously and were very pleasantly surprised with the walk up to the property. No steps, rather a well paved walkway to pull up suitcases. It is still uphill, but much easier than the steep stairs. Plus, the view walking up and when reaching the sea is worth every step.

Thank you Jon for your 5* review, you were an excellent guest and I do hope you will return one day. Jo
Fantastic, clean property with stellar views. Management was excellent to deal with. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. There are steep, narrow stairs in the villa so I would not recommend this property for anyone with any type of mobility issues.

Host was in contact with us day of arrival. Smooth check in. Big hill climb to get there, but views were worth it.House is on several floors—you must be able to climb stairs. Rooftop terrace may have been our favorite. Views of the sea, great place to watch sunsets. Access to roof is difficult if you are very tall, like one of our group, but he spent more time up there than anyone else.

Anne thank you for the great review, I’m so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and appreciated its unique location. Jo
This apartment is so fun! It was very clean and comfortable. The views out of the windows and from the deck were beautiful. Slept each night with the sound of waves. The check-in and checkout was easy and everyone was so professional and friendly. We would definitely stay here again!

The view and location were great. However, the ants, hard beds in some rooms, and the intermittent substantial shower temperatures changes kept it from being a 5. We would stay there again. The view far outweighs the negatives of this property.
