Summary:

A charming flat on the top two floors of an 11th-century tower in the heart of Manarola. The name recalls the lampara, the traditional lantern used by Ligurian fishermen, a symbol of light along this coast. In the kitchen you'll find a welcome kit for your first morning — croissants, biscuits, jam, tea and coffee — our way of saying welcome. 80 sqm, sleeps up to 5.



The Space:

On the lower floor, the sleeping area: a double bedroom with sea view, a twin bedroom (beds can be joined into a double on request) and a full bathroom with shower, gas boiler, washing machine. On the upper floor, a bright open-plan space with a living area (single sofa bed), dining area, fully equipped gas kitchen with Nespresso machine, and a private panoramic terrace with sea view. Can be combined with Il Baluardo (lower floors of the same tower) for groups of up to 10.



Guest Access:

Access on foot only from the station or car park — no car needed in the village. Environmental note: the property sits right on the cliff edge; at certain times of year, especially spring, small marine organisms (Velella velella) may appear along the coast — a sign of clean seas — occasionally producing a mild, natural and temporary organic smell.



The Neighborhood:

In the heart of Manarola, one of the most picturesque villages in the Cinque Terre, perched on the cliff with an uninterrupted view over the Ligurian Sea.



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, not on beds or sofas.



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 is handled by the Cinque Terre Riviera team, our Vernazza office open 9:30am–7:00pm (1 March to 31 October). In Manarola check-in is self: standard hours 3:00pm–7:00pm, then self check-in with emailed instructions until 10:00pm (phone assistance in this window 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, than face the stress of such a late arrival. Please share your email in advance to receive instructions, the online check-in link (passport details required by Italian law); the access code is sent on the day of arrival. Heating switched off from 1 April to 1 November.
