About this property

Recanissu Apartment with balcony and AC

Recanissu Apartment has a lovely and bright location, on the 4th floor, on the main street of Vernazza. It is the property you would like to rent and feel like a local! It is a large family apartment, characterized by its large rooms and 2 bathrooms, an authentic rarity in Vernazza. Well equipped, air conditioned and with a long terrace, strategically located on the main road, halfway from the train station to the marina. It is also the ideal location for long rentals.



The apartment



Access to the Recanissu Apartment is from Via Visconti, the second part of the main road. The apartment is on the fourth floor, the top of the building, with steep steps (guests are welcome!). Entering the apartment we find a bright atrium, then a second large room on which all the rooms of the apartment open:

a double bedroom (with AC) with access to the long balcony

a large kitchen (with AC) fully equipped with access to the long balcony

a double room (with ceiling paddle fan) with extra bed and a second balcony overlooking the caruggetto, one of the most curious streets in the town. On the balcony we have the washing machine.

a large bathroom with tub and shower

a smaller bathroom with shower

a double sofa bed in the large hall.



Why choosing it



The kitchen and the balcony of the double room are the winning elements of the Recanissu Apartment. It is an incredible observation point of the main street and its life. From here we can also see the castle of the tower and the Sciuio part of the village where the sun hardly shines. Fascinating views also of Muin a Ventu, the second tower of the village which was once a windmill and now a historic villa for rent.

The kitchen and double bedroom have air conditioning and on very hot days it is sufficient to start the machine for only a short time to cool the temperature. If the season is not very hot, it is sufficient to open opposite windows to obtain an ideal and pleasant temperature. Please limit the use of air conditioning for both your health and to save our planet.



Good to know



Recanissu means licorice in the local dialect. The apartment bears this name because of a part of the apartment floor, which is black as licorice.

Recanissu Apartment is a comfortable and relaxing property. It is therefore ideal for families. There are many steps inside the building, we can't deny that, and the last portion of the steps is steep. Anyway, once you get to the top, you will really feel at home. Your stay in Recanissu will make you experience the atmosphere of the village like a local!

Perfect Location

The location of this property was an easy walk from the train station and to the sea. The listing prepared us for the steep stairs up four stories. We enjoyed the balcony and view of the beautiful city.

Great location in Varenna

This unit was spacious and very well situated. As others have noted, there are a lot of steep steps to get up to the unit, but after you get your luggage up there, the steps are not a huge problem if you are in moderate shape.Being on the main street in Varenna and just a 5 minute walk from the train station is great. And the fact the unit is about four stories up limits the noise heard from the street. And there is a sunscreen on the balcony which really helps on a sunny afternoon.

Vernazza stay

Wow amazing central location. Very clean modern apartment. Love love the terrace. 2 bathrooms made it very comfy for us and 2 daughters. The stairs were a challenge and we are very fit people. But it’s CT so get ready for stairs!

Almost great

We loved the location and the cleanliness and aesthetic of this apartment. There is one AC in the master bedroom and one in the kitchen. The kitchen AC was broken. The property manager was aware it was broken when we checked in, and it was not fixed during our 3 night stay. We would have liked to have been told and given the option to find a different place. This is a top floor apartment and it was HOT. The WiFi did not work during our stay. If these two important items were working, it would have been great.

Recanissu is a GREAT Vernazza Stay

Recanissu is a great location in the wonderful Italian region of the Cinque Terre! The apartment was as promoted on VRBO, it was clean, and it was in a great location within the town of Vernazza. It worked well for our travel group, because it offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The kitchen/eating area is good-sized and well-equipped. We enjoy cooking, so this is an important criterion when we book. The apartment is on the building's top floor, and has a terrace accessible from the kitchen and the main bedroom that overlooks the main street through town. You see and hear daytime activities, but the town is quiet at night. Cinque Terra Riviera (CTR) is great to work with when booking and getting questions answered. When we arrived, there was a very nice package of focaccia breads and sparkling wine on the table! During our stay, we had a question about the oven, and when CTR came by they not only fixed the situation (it was a VERY simple fix- we had accidentally turned off the power to the oven!), but also they changed out the linens. Great service! Our travel partner had recently had ankle surgery, and the stairs up and down to the apartment were a concern when we arrived. However, after a day or two in the apartment, she was navigating the stairs without issue or concern. We highly recommend staying at Recanissu when you stay in Vernazza.

Belle Vernazza!

The location was great, quiet and clean. We loved sitting on the outside deck overlooking the main street of Vernazza. The apartment was spacious and provided everything we needed. We even washed our laundry and hung it to dry right outside our bedroom. The only caution is the steps. There are quite a few and the last set of stairs is very steep. But, you won't find many places in Vernazza without steps to climb. If you can handle the stairs, this place is well worth it!

A cozy apartment in Vernazza

We enjoyed our stay at Recanissu Apartment. The location was very central but the stairs... oh my. We were traveling with my in-laws who are in their 70's and getting up and down these stairs was quite a challenge for them. So much so, once my mother-in-law got up there, she didn't want to come back down. Bringing luggage up and down them was even more of a challenge. Thankfully, there is a porter service offered at the train station which I would highly recommend for anyone who isn't super strong or has more than a backpack in terms of luggage. We know that is one of the challenges of staying in the Cinque Terre. I don't believe any of the apartments there have elevators (I've never seen one) and many of the apartments are on the 4th of 5th floor. Aside from the stairs, the apartment was very nice. The furnishings were beautiful and the kitchen was functional but lacked some basics to make meals. There are a lot of good, inexpensive food options right outside the front door though. The check in process was easy and the management company was helpful. Overall it was a good stay.
