Casa Carla Beautiful private home with large terrace and gated entrance.

Lots of stairs but worth it

Very nice place. Excellent views of hills behind Vernazza, the main street and the train station. 79 steps from the street to the gate, but that's par for the course in Cinque Terre. The local train noise isn't too bad but the ones that fly through without stopping are pretty loud. I don't think we lost much sleep, though. We had no issues but we never heard from management after checking in. Our host did schlepp a large suitcase all the way up. The house notes didn't tell us what to do with the keys when we left so we just left them by the TV.

We loved the outdoor terraces. The apartment is a bit worn, but still a good place. There are A LOT OF STAIRS to climb to get to the apartment. We loved Vernazza and the Cinque Terre.

Property was just ok. A few problems here and there, but they were generally resolved. Kitchen was generally a mix of leftover glasses, cookware, etc. Weather was hot and humid and there was a single, standalone air conditioner in the main room. Fans elsewhere led to a sticky, humid environment overall. Lots of steps (90) to get up and down to street level and train noise was fairly constant. This was noted in the listing and previous comments, so no surprise, but make sure you are prepared for this if you stay here.
