Fantastic room with fabulous views! Although there’s no onsite reception, The First team were very responsive and even helped us with a discount for Via Dell’Amore. They also provided lots of helpful information about the area and gave us special treatment at their restaurant, La Regina. The minibar and water are chargeable, but all the details are clearly displayed. We had a wonderful time and would definitely return!

The property by far has the best views in town. The walk to get there is tougher than you’d think lugging baggage but well worth it. Bathroom and bedroom could use some bleach to get rid of some minor mold but it’s a great place! Host was fantastic.

Take note that the ad says stay in Riomaggiore but the room is in Manarola. So make sure you have the location and directions so you know where to go!! You also need to get room entry instructions from the host via WhatsApp. Ensure you have this ready as you do your check in because there is no staff at the location to assist you to get in. Room we stayed in was very nice and clean. There is a great restaurant Trattoria Billy which is only a 2 minute walk from the room. They are excellent!!

View is misleading

I stayed at “Camera Deluxe, vista montagna” room. The picture is misleading because the window view is to another house and not the view in the picture at all. Also, the main picture of property (with the balcony view is available only to the balcony room and it’s also misleading). I booked 3H before arrival, and missed the instruction to contact 24H before. At arrival I tried to contact them but they publish wrong number in the property information and didn’t answer to internal message. But customer support was helpful. The room was clean, comfort and has a luxurious atmosphere like the rest of the photos. Except check-in problem and the view it was a good experience.

The view alone at this property from the balcony is worth the cost! My husband and I stayed in La Spezia and booked one night in Manarola at this property. We took in the breathtaking sunset from the balcony and then watched a lightning storm off in the distance under the stars. A memorable stay for sure!

Such a beautiful terrace! The room was gorgeous and comfortable. Suggestions for improvement considering the price: we were only given 1 bathrobe, the terrace should have an umbrella already setup, the room needs a kettle for making tea and ideally a mini-fridge and microwave. We loved our stay and would still highly recommend.
