Villa "Lardarina" close to the Beach with Sea View, Terrace & Wi-Fi

We loved the location despite comments about stairs. The terrace was a gem for napping in the hanging chair and dining alfresco. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking in. Host was responsive to our needs. Only draw back was the house could use a deep clean and window screens for mosquitoes.

The Hosts greeted us upon check in, were very nice and gave us a tour of the home. The property is beautiful, sits up on a hillside & is surrounded by trellis gardens. Home was spacious & easily accommodated our family of four (group of 6 would fit). Kitchen had all of the necessary utensils for us to cook a delightful dinner on our last night. The patio deck was excellent, with a nice outdoor sofa area for morning coffee, snacks & evening wine, as well as a dinner table for outdoor meals. The ocean view from the patio was gorgeous. To reach the home, it required some walking up the Corniglia stairs, but it was manageable since we only had carry-on suitcases.We would highly recommend this property for anyone visiting the Cinque Terre region or Corniglia. We really enjoyed Corniglia because of it's beauty, central location and much less tourist traffic compared to the other Cinque Terre towns.

After 22 hours of travel, we crashed at this place. Woke up to the most beautiful scenery! It made all that difficult travel worth it. Great host. 10/10.

We stayed here with our four kids and just loved it. The places is really laid back and invites you to relax and enjoy the location. We went out a number of times to visit surrounding villages, and I was always anxious to get back and relax.

First of all, all communication and interaction with Christian and Marco were over and above our expectations. We were picked up at the La Spezia Tran station and driven to Corniglia .

The views from the villa were well worth the climb up the stairs from the train station. The outdoor spaces looking out over the Mediterranean and Manarola were awesome. The unit was bright and spacious with great windows and was well stocked. Our check-in host met us at the villa and made sure we had everything we needed.

Beautiful views. Quiet and relaxing home. Having so much outdoor space was amazing.

Beautiful property set right on hillside surrounded by vineyard. the owners met us kindly on site and left fresh tomatoes and lemons for us. could not recommend higher!

It was the highlight of our 2 week Europe trip. The views from the property were unbelievable and we loved the quieter pace in Corniglia compared to the other towns we visited.

This is the most beautiful, relaxing, soul soothing place I have ever stayed. Marco was fabulous to communicate with and personally met us and provided instructions and details for the property. Don’t let the stairs scare you away. We enjoyed the deck both evenings surrounded with vineyard, lemon trees, rosemary and the sound of the ocean. The beds were comfortable, air conditioning and WiFi worked well too. Truly an amazing experience and I hope to return here again if I ever make it back to Italy.

Great place to stay but getting there is quite difficult. We were told in advance and so we were aware. Best not to have much luggage as it is 240 down to get to the place. Of course 480 steps every time you leave/return. Would have been nice to have coffee in the apartment. We could not figure out the heating system as it is a pellet type furnace. Great view and total privacy.

This villa is located halfway up the steps to the village of Corniglia. It overlooks a garden and has a water view. It is conveniently located to explore the other towns by train or walking. The kitchen is equipped with the basics and there are several small grocery stores in walking distance (up and down the stairs) to purchase local foods to self cater.

First - Be prepared for a lot of steps, both up and down. That's the price of entry for renting this wonderfully-located house. Second - The hosts were extremely helpful with our check-in process. We had issues with the trains, and arrived about an hour late. The hosts were patient and waited for us, and even picked us up at the train station to avoid having us walk up the steps with our luggage (we walked down instead form the top). On to the house itself, it is situation on a hillside filled with vineyards and lemon trees. The only sounds are from the train station below and people walking on the steps, but otherwise it is a nice remote and private setting. There is plenty of room inside, and the front porch offers a wonderful view of the sea and the town of Manarola to the south. On chilly nights we warmed up with the pellet stove and some locally-purchased wine (two small shops up in town were good sources of wine and food). We recommend packing light to make the trip to and from the house a bit easier, but nevertheless the stay is well worth it.

We loved the house and the views were truly amazing! The property is so pretty with lemon trees, rosemary, and lots of flowers. The stairs from the train station are challenging with luggage but certainly worth it once you arrive.

We stayed in Christian’s home for three marvelous days in early October. The pictures posted are extremely accurate, but nothing can compare to being there and looking at the magnificent views from every room in the house. The house was spotless, with all the amenities you needed. The trek up the stairs are definitely not as bad as going all the way up to the top-with our suitcases-but it is a little bit of a trek. The house is situated perfectly about halfway up, which allowed the evenings to be nice and quiet-away from the center town crowds and gave a perfect amount of privacy. The host and his amazingly charming and loving parents were extremely helpful in giving recommendations for local restaurants, and also areas of Cinque Terre that were a little off the tourist path. We would visit again and would highly recommend!!

This place was our zen time in our itinerary. Halfway down a mountain hillside stairway, accessible to the train station and the town center on opposite ends, was a blissful retreat. The Cinque Terre trail was easily accessible in the town center, as well as small grocery stores, cafes, and gelato places. The house is full of windows and doors that bring breezes and views into the rooms. Comfortable and plentiful beds, sitting spaces, and amenities. A very well-equipped kitchen and an outdoor terrace encompassing the side of the house that looks out to the Sea invites lingering outdoor dining. Inside the gate, the walkway leading to the house is layered with pink lilies, succulent plants, and lemon trees, a rustic aesthetic that blends well with the vineyards on the southern side of the house. Plenty of electricity and hot water, fans, towels and linens. Only the gracious hospitality of Marco and daughter, Martina, rounded this beautiful experience to perfection.

The view is insane. Most windows and doors lead to a completely unobstructed view of the sea. It is paradise. You will need to walk up part of the long staircase to get to the entrance, but unlike almost anyone else in the Cinque Terre, you're away from crowds and have an extraordinary view.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Perfect spot to unwind, relax and soak in the surroundings. Views were out of this world. Worth the price alone. Hosts met us on check in and were extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommended

Absolutely amazing location with incredible views! Even the pictures online don’t do the views justice. Would definitely recommend!

Marco’s place in Cinque Terre provides stunning views of the beautiful and rugged coast. Being located in the middle of the 5 villages; the location afforded us easy access to all the towns. It was a perfect location for our family of six. We loved our stay and dream of being back again!

Absolutely beautiful accommodations in Corniglia. So glad we booked and worth any of the bit of check in hassle. The stairs weren’t a big deal for us, just had a bit of trouble navigating to the location but owners were in contact so that helped us get there successfully! The views are unbelievable and all the conveniences are there! Best rental in Cinque Terre! Fresh lemons and great kitchen and only a few flights of stairs down from restaurants/ city center.

This was a great property, but the directions on how to get to the house were just terrible, and the communication from the host was not sufficient. It took us hours driving around the tiny road in Corniglia before we were able to find the house. In the end, we had to ask local residents!
