La Bella Vita

Extremely convenient location, located in the heart of Vernazza (only a few minutes walk to the train, harbour or shops). The pictures accurately described the place. The kitchen had literally everything you need to make a coffee, meal or a picnic (even had glad wrap and sandwich bags). We made food and drinks a few times and took it down to the harbour to watch the sunset! Perfect. WiFi was good! Netflix and other channels available on the TV. Airconditioning worked really well too. Communication with the host was easy and they were very accommodating! All in all a great stay 😁 We would love to come back soon!

This is not a negative - but just a warning to tall, wide or less mobile people. It's 3 flights up (steep small steps) to get to the apartment. The stairs up to the bedroom are narrow and you need to duck as you enter / exit the kitchen. The bathroom dimensions are also tight to enter / exit. But we figured all this from the photos!

It was centrally located in the village of Vernazza and thus handy for the harbour, beach and shops and restaurants.

At the top of two flights of steep steps which are exhausting with heavy suitcases. The living space is cramped and dominated by a huge TV screen which is unnecessary for us on holiday in a foreign country. The bedroom is up a further flight of steep stairs but the bathroom is on the same floor as the living space.

It's a fantastic location. The door to the stairs is at the start of the piazza / town square. Vernazza is a beautiful place. The good - everything you need in the unit. It's awesome value for where it is. Live like a local :) Everything is there that you need if you want to cook or whatever. There was oil, balsamic, salt and pepper and a bunch of other things. The coffee for the drip filter machine was full; thank you. There were only 2 pods for the Lavazza pod machine which we couldn't find in town anywhere. The town is very small. Arriving with your bags at the train station and walking down the hill is no issue. It's only 100-150m long. Restaurants everywhere. Food was fantastic. Lots of seafood. Prices vary a little, but mostly reasonable. Overall, awesome location, beautiful place, easy to get to other places, etc. It's at the back of the building, so very quiet except the TVs blaring which was fine. The hosts are pros; have multiple properties and lots of automation on your check-in etc. Available as needed and definitely very professional. Water reheats if you use it all and has a gauge on it ... very efficient.

Not the hosts fault ... but Cinque Terra is extremely busy. Wouldn't go back probably for this reason. It wasn't even peak season and it was just crazy some days. Ferries arrive from La Spezia and other towns. The supermarket has a sign that says no more than 8 people at a time ... it's got finite capacity and it's getting killed. According to the locals, the oceans almost completely returned to previous levels of fish etc in just 2 years (during COVID). Some love the tourism, some don't. Every town in the Cinque Terra has its own dialect and food specialties. They feel like they've been homogenised ... so spent some time feeling like part of the problem. The people were gracious and friendly, but the capacity of this area is very low and it's subject to an unlimited stream of people from full trains and ferries. Early in the morning (and late at night), it's just beautiful ... Stairs ... be warned. Lots of them and very steep. A 'typical Ligurian staircase' would be illegal in most other countries. They are beautiful but often extremely steep due to the terrain they have been built into and tradition. Getting to the unit with a large suitcase requires some strength and stamina. Everything except the bedroom is on the first level. The staircase down from the the bedroom in the middle of the night requires your 'A game'. No rail on one side, made of marble and very steep. Some stairs are so steep you can lean out and touch the stairs in front of you without much effort. All this said, the lady in the unit across from this one looked to be around 80, stooped over with a walking cane, and her front door actually just had stairs behind it to the next level. So maybe we just need a teaspoon of cement ... No controller for the heater / a/c in the bedroom ... not sure if this was intentional but it wasn't there.

le confort des chaises table et fauteuils trés inconfortable

le sole note positive sono state la posizione e la professionalità di un responsabile Federica.

La struttura dalle foto sembrava curata, ma appena siamo entrati abbiamo subito avuto a che fare con la trascuratezza più assoluta. Lo scarico del bagno lo troviamo completamente rotto, lo facciamo presente ma la struttura non se ne occupa fino al giorno dopo, la riparazione viene fatta a spizzichi e bocconi per i successivi 4 giorni, (in uno di questi giorni abbiamo trovato il manutentore in casa senza nemmeno averci avvisato mentre la mia fidanzata era in bagno), infine il giorno della finale riparazione (il 4* giorno dalla segnalazione) il bagno ci viene lasciato in condizioni raccapriccianti, segni di scarpe sui sanitari e una doccia lasciata ben oltre i limiti della decenza ma non è finita qui perché All'interno della lavatrice abbiamo trovato delle asciugamani bagnate lasciate lì da non so quanto tempo. Come ciliegina sulla torta l'aria condizionata ha smesso di funzionare 2 giorni prima della nostra partenza. Assolutamente il mio peggior pernottamento, senza ombra di dubbio.
