Summary:
A recently refurbished, refined flat in Manarola's historic centre, in the quiet, characterful area of Piazza Castello. The name evokes a romantic dream — ideal for those seeking intimacy, beauty and authenticity in the Cinque Terre. A welcome snack awaits in the kitchen for your first morning: croissants, biscuits, jam, tea and coffee, handy if the journey has left you hungry. 50 sqm, sleeps up to 3.
The Space:
Independent entrance into a bright open-plan space with a double bed, tastefully furnished with attention to detail. Modern, elegant bathroom with a spacious shower, heated towel rail and designer taps. Fully equipped kitchen with electric hob, microwave and Nespresso machine, opening onto a private panoramic balcony overlooking the cliff and the sea — perfect for breakfast outdoors or a sunset aperitivo. Air conditioning in the sleeping area, washing machine, hairdryer.
Guest Access:
Independent entrance. The area is naturally well ventilated — we recommend not opening windows and the front door at the same time, to avoid strong draughts.
The Neighborhood:
Piazza Castello, Manarola — a quiet, authentic corner. The sea and trails are about a 10-minute walk away.
Getting Around:
On-foot access from the station or car park, no car needed in the village.
Other Things to Note:
Small and medium-sized dogs welcome for a €70 supplement, on a lead in communal areas.
We leave a few breakfast basics in the kitchen for your first morning (croissants, biscuits, jam, tea, coffee, portioned powdered milk, sugar); where a kitchen is available, also our award-winning extra virgin olive oil from a local producer whose mill and honey production can be visited on one of our experiences, plus salt and washing-up liquid, and washing machine/dishwasher pods where fitted. Bed and bath linen included, with shower gel, conditioner, body wash and hand soap. Professional cleaning throughout.
Our concierge office in Vernazza is open 9:30am-7:00pm from 1 March to 31 October; outside this period the office is closed, with presence available on request. We're always happy to welcome guests staying in any of the other villages too, whether for a quick hello or for advice on local experiences and activities.

Interaction with Guests:
Check-in handled by the Cinque Terre Riviera team. In Manarola check-in is self: standard hours 3:00pm–7:00pm, then self check-in with emailed instructions until 10:00pm (phone assistance carries a €50 supplement). No check-in possible after 10:00pm — past this hour car parks close, night trains are rare and often delayed or cancelled, and the villages fall quiet with no one around who could really help anyway: far better to plan a calm arrival the next day, perhaps with luggage storage to start exploring straight away. Heating switched off from 1 April to 1 November.
