What a spectacular place!! It is literally front and centre in every iconic picture of Manarola. The views are incomparable with the best seat in town to drink a glass of wine while watching the sun set. Each of the three floors has its own terrace with an extra garden terrace below with lemon trees, flowers and a deck. Your search for a perfect place in Cinque Terre ends here. We can’t wait to return.

View, View, View! And lots of balconies and windows to enjoy it from! The communication with Lorella was wonderful. She was quick to answer any correspondence before and during our stay. We love Cinque Terre and having visited before, we knew we wanted to stay in Manarola, and this time we were there for 2 weeks! Loved the Via Del Amore, a beautiful and easy walk to Riomaggiore, day or night. Be sure to sign up for the Pesto making class at Nessun Dorma, it truly was a highlight experience for us! Super fun and much more than you expect. I would definitely stay at Lorella’s villa again and highly recommend it to anyone.

This is a wonderful home in Manarola. We had delightful views and there's a balcony on every floor, so you always feel part of the sea. Lorella was so thoughtful to show us around the home, letting us know how to open doors, and how to use the washing machine. It was so nice to have dedicated clothes lines too, since we came from a hiking portion of our trip. I love hanging clothes to dry. We feel so lucky that she shared this home with us. We could not imagine a more beautiful place.

We had a great time in Manarola. It is a steep climb to get to the villa but the views are amazing! Rita was very helpful with the check-in and explaining the amenities in the house. It was perfect for two couples. If we ever get back to Manarola we will definitely stay there again.

Incredibile views in Manarola
A charming home with incredible ocean views in Manarola, which we thought was the loveliest town of Cinque Terre. We were very well oriented by the owners friend, and received some excellent restaurant recommendations.

Cliffside Retreat
Lorella’s property overlooking the small harbor in Manarola is one of a kind. The 3 story home sits on a cliff overlooking the harbor below, with the bedrooms and kitchen/living room area split among the three levels. The views are something from a movie and the 3 bedrooms are spacious and easy to keep cool with the AC units in each. There is a washing machine for your laundry that you can hang to dry in the breeze from the ocean. The kitchen is equipped with all that you need to dine in should you want. The check process was super simple and take Lorella & Rita up on the offer for someone to transport your bags up to the house. I cannot thank Lorella enough for all her assistance with our booking (from a car service from Genoa to transport to Lucca when the trains went on strike) and allowing us to stay in her beautiful home. If you are looking for a relaxing retreat in a laid-back town then look no further. Thanks again Lorella, we hope to be back soon.

This apartment with its garden covers 4 levels, each with a spectacular panoramic view of the Mediterranean coast and Cinque Terra. There are several stairs, including to get into the apartment.

Cinque Terre in general is a remarkable place. From the turquois ocean to the mountains to the colorful homes nestled into the mountain sides. Lorella's property couldn't have been in a better location to take it all in. Lorella was very accommodating and responsive to our needs.

Absolutely Stunning!!
We spent 5 amazing nights here in Manarola and we are already trying to plan a trip back. The home is absolutely perfect! The beds are comfortable, the views are spectacular. We chose to bring back dinner and wine to enjoy on the balcony because it's the best view on the island. Lorella is an outstanding host and goes through the house with great detail when you arrive. Which helps you know the house simply. She also has great recommendations on hikes, restaurants , the trains and the ferry. We hiked from Manarola to Corniglia one of the days and it was challenging but gorgeous. I HIGHLY recommend booking this home if you have the opportunity. We are still smiling thinking of our time spent here. LOVELY

Killer views
This is the house when you look up at the hills and I want to stay in that house! Everything in the house is comfortable and well provided. The location is excellent. Manarola is a great town to stay in out of the five. You will climb many hills and many stairs wherever you are in the Cinque. The small walkways with no cars are part of the charm and the experience.
You will not be disappointed if you stay here.

The best view
This property has an incredible location. With it’s amazing views and the sound of the waves it is impossible to not relax here. Because of it’s fantastic location it does mean that there’s quite a big hill to get up to get to the house and lots of steps in the house, that would make it difficult for smaller children or those with accessibility issues. The air conditioning was a life saver in the summer sun. Definitely a lovely place to watch some beautiful sunsets with a glass of wine!

Six women on the trip of a lifetime!
Belvedere 226 was everything promised. My friends and I spent a week in Manarola at Lorella's property overlooking the Ligurian Sea. The property was clean, comfortable and easily accommodated our group. The private decks provided stunning views of the sea and some of the most beautiful sunsets we'd ever seen. Our host was responsive when we had a question, though we didn't have many because she met us upon check-in to provide a thorough overview of the spaces. We explored each of the five villages during our stay and Manarola was a great home-base with train and ferry services to travel between towns.
