History: A Tower Through the Centuries
Built in 1100 AD, the Muìn a Véntu Tower is one of the last surviving medieval towers in Vernazza, a testament to the Genoese heritage of the village. Originally a windmill, the tower harnessed the power of the wind to grind grains, playing a crucial role in Vernazza’s agricultural economy.
From Windmill to Cultural Center
Transformation in the 1950s: Amleto, a prominent figure in the village, added an annex to the tower, blending ancient architecture with modern comforts.
Legacy of Aldo Trionfo: In the 20th century, Italian theater director Aldo Trionfo restored the tower, transforming it into a bohemian refuge for renowned artists, actors, and composers.
Today, the Muìn a Véntu Garden Tower retains this cultural and historical legacy, offering guests a chance to stay in a property rich in creativity and history.

This is perhaps one of the most unique properties my family and I have ever had the pleasure of staying in. The accommodation is a medieval tower dating back to 1100 A.D., offering breathtaking panoramic views of the village and the water below.Reaching the tower requires climbing several flights of stairs, but the effort is absolutely worth it. Upon our arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to find fresh focaccia waiting for us. The views are spectacular, and the cool evening breeze made for a comfortable and restful night's sleep.The check-in instructions were clear and detailed, including easy-to-follow directions to the tower. The staff at Cinque Terre Riviera was responsive, accommodating, and quick to assist with any questions or concerns we had throughout our stay.For anyone seeking a truly memorable and unique experience, this medieval tower is an exceptional place to stay.

My family loved staying here. It is in the most iconic, quaint charming place we could possibly stay in Cinque Terre with the most spectacular views. The photos don’t even come close to doing it justice. I’ve already recommended it to all my friends.
Note, like most of Cinque Terre, be prepared for stairs, lots and lots of stairs to get here, and ladders. Of course, this is part of the charm we fell in love with.
