Alla Porta Rossa

Words cannot describe how incredible this property is, truly. And the unit itself, with the TWO balconies giving you around 200 degrees of view (one other building in the way or it would be 240 degrees or more) is absolutely excessive in terms of joy. Best view in Manarola...and it's all yours. Terraced vineyards to your far right, ocean to your left...then you can head inside to the other balcony and see the train and another section of ocean. Those who visit Manarola scurry to the places that have the best views...THIS PLACE HAS THE BEST VIEWS AND IT'S ALL YOURS (but only for as long as you rent it, sadly). Furthermore, the unit has everything (well, everything but an iron, but that's nitpicking beyond imagination :) - coffee, tea, clothes and dish washers, full kitchen set, refrigerator, pantry, storage, comfy chairs, kitchen table and chairs, lounge chairs on the balcony, motorized shades, truly everything you need (and the a/c works wonderfully!). I've already told my daughter she needs to visit, and I'm counting on us revisiting it over and over again, and ONLY this place. Cinque Terre is truly magical...but this place makes it truly special.

SUPER nickpicking here but the pillows are pretty rough - that said, when you know you will wake up to a panoramic view in one of the best spots in Manarola, you can deal with it. Still, seems like a very minor investment that would elevate this wonderful property even further.

Absolutely mate amazing location, beautiful view, and very nice accommodations.

Clean and contemporary furnishings, high specification, good view and location. Excellent directions and instructions, very responsive hosts.

Limited storage space for hanging dresses etc. Ironing facilities would be useful.

The view from the large balcony overlooking the ocean and the town cannot be beat

Lots of stairs to get there! But that is Cinque Terre
