About this house rental

New for 2024, AC in both bedrooms and on the 3rd floor. Casa Bella Vista is a typical Ligurian House with stunning sea views .The village of Manarola is situated within the unique landscape of the Cinque Terre National Park. The property has been renovated to a high standard and includes Wi-Fi. The accommodation is provided over four floors with the additional benefit of a roof terrace. The ground floor entrance leads to a living and dining area with seating for 6, with a fully equipped kitchen on the 3rd floor. A spiral staircase provides access to the roof terrace for outdoor dining and casual seating. Bathrooms are situated on the 1st and 2nd floor, and each include a shower, toilet and bidet. The bedroom on the 1st floor has two single beds, the bedroom on the 2nd floor has a king sized bed. A double sofa-bed is situated on the 3rd floor.
The property is a five minute walk up a steep hill from the centre of the village, and is therefore not ideal for very young children or the infirm.

Getting to Manarola: The most convenient airports for the Cinque Terre are Pisa, Genova (Genoa), and Parma. Travel from the airport to Manarola is best by train, as vehicles are not permitted in the village, however public pay parking is available at the top of the village, euro 20 per day. Alternatively, it is possible to arrange in advance a private garage space at an additional cost of euro 25 per night.

Local facilities : Manarola has several excellent restaurants and bars, two pizzerias, a gelateria, juice bar and a cash machine. As a working village, it also has two small supermarkets, a pharmacy, Post Office and a selection of shops selling locally made gifts and produce.

Out and about: The best way to discover the Cinque Terre is on foot, along the many paths through terraced vineyards and olive groves giving spectacular views of the sea. The five villages of the Cinque Terre, Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso each have their own unique identity, and a wealth of history to explore.

Further afield, La Spezia is the largest town in the area, and is reached easily by a 10 minute train journey. Portofino and Portovenere are also good destinations.

Jo was very responsive and the photos in the listing are accurate. We have been to Manarola previously and were very pleasantly surprised with the walk up to the property. No steps, rather a well paved walkway to pull up suitcases. It is still uphill, but much easier than the steep stairs. Plus, the view walking up and when reaching the sea is worth every step.

10.0 / 10.0

It was an amazing 3 days. Quite the hike up to get to apartment but worth it because of the views!

10.0 / 10.0

Host was in contact with us day of arrival. Smooth check in. Big hill climb to get there, but views were worth it.House is on several floors—you must be able to climb stairs. Rooftop terrace may have been our favorite. Views of the sea, great place to watch sunsets. Access to roof is difficult if you are very tall, like one of our group, but he spent more time up there than anyone else.

Beautifully well kept property. Amazing communication from manager with lots of traveler flexibility. House had EVERYTHING! Great location with stunning view!

Fantastic, clean property with stellar views. Management was excellent to deal with. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. There are steep, narrow stairs in the villa so I would not recommend this property for anyone with any type of mobility issues.

Exactly as advertised. Host and management company were attentive and responsive

8.0 / 10.0

The view and location were great. However, the ants, hard beds in some rooms, and the intermittent substantial shower temperatures changes kept it from being a 5. We would stay there again. The view far outweighs the negatives of this property.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here in Manarola. The apartment was so close to the train station, cafes and the water. Perfect place to stay!

We had a great time sitting on the rooftop deck enjoying the view! We couldn’t ask for a better one. The beds were comfortable and the dishwasher and washer/dryer were great to have. The stairs are a bit steep for those that might have trouble. We would definitely come back!

10.0 / 10.0

Fantastic location. Beautiful home as advertised just like the pictures. We were able to visit and enjoy all five lands with ease from this location. Train quickly from Manarola to all five lands, or hike if you please. Restaurants, Coffee Shops, and Gelato shops throughout town. No bad views or sunsets. The rooftop deck on the home provided great views of the ocean, harbor, and sunsets. The owner Jo was an excellent communicator and made sure our stay was great. 5 Stars. If we come back to the area we would definitely stay here again.

This apartment is so fun! It was very clean and comfortable. The views out of the windows and from the deck were beautiful. Slept each night with the sound of waves. The check-in and checkout was easy and everyone was so professional and friendly. We would definitely stay here again!

Everything was very comforting. Beds, towels, baths, all very clean and comfortable. Very nice views and not as difficult to get to as anticipated.

8.0 / 10.0

The location of this property is outstanding. It doesn’t get better. Everything is close and the view is beautiful. However, this property had some quirks that made the stay less comfortable, such as the slouchy couches, kitchen without a few essentials (like salt), qnd leaks on the first floor (this may have been due to the very heavy rains while we visited). Also, if you have any kind of physical challenges, this property would not be ideal for you due to the narrow, steep, stairs. Manarola is a wonderful town, and we were glad to visit for a few days.

Recently spent 4 nights with the dynamic of two couples at the apartment. The layout works perfectly with a bedroom and bathroom on two separate floors and the views are amazing .

We loved this unit we had beautiful sea views and plenty of sea breezes. Right on the cliff straight down is the Genoa gulf.

We had a wonderful time especially on the top deck! My only complaint was the beds/pillows were very uncomfortable.

10.0 / 10.0

What a cool place. It is one of the houses on the cliff over looking the water that you see in all of those iconic Manarola photos/puzzles. Lots of steps and inclines but it is so worth it. The rooftop view is breathtaking and the town is amazing. Able to get through all the towns in a day if need be but 2-3 days is a perfect amount of time. Would stay there again!

Great location to explore cinque terra. Amazing views from multiple levels.

10.0 / 10.0

Our family of 5 greatly enjoyed our stay at this property. You can't beat the view from the top floors and roof deck. We ate our dinners on the rooftop with a bottle of wine, watching the sunset. The bottom floor was cool and humid as it is built into the mountain and water can run down the rock wall, and we didn't use this room much, The bedrooms were comfortable and clean with air conditioning that worked well. Again, due to the constant humidity that is part of a home built into the side of a mountain, the lower bathroom had some mildew. The property manager was very responsive when we had a problem with the hot water on our last day. He came to the property within minutes of when I notified him of the problem. Unfortunately he was not able to fix it, but as it was at the end of our visit, it was not a big problem. Overall, this is a unique and wonderful home, and I would recommend it and would rebook if I visit again

10.0 / 10.0

We embraced the challenges this home has with the 55 steps and many levels - as the charm and conveniences and location and views made it totally worthwhile !! The management company was wonderful to work with and convenient to pick up keys etc. our absolutely only complaint was the rooftop deck area was Soooo dirty and covered with bird droppings gs and smelled terrible so we couldn’t enjoy our time or view from there as we had hoped it was a neglected area

8.0 / 10.0

This house has so much charm and amazing views. As with anyone visiting Cinque Terre, you must like stairs as there are four different floors in the house. There were some issues with the air unit making a knocking noise during our family's stay which we reached out to property management about. They were not able to get someone over to service it during our stay though. Hopefully, they got someone to fix it before the next person's stay as our group left one day early to get some rest somewhere more quite. The interior of the house is very cool though and seemed to stay pretty cool for the most part on its own.

10.0 / 10.0

Wonderful two-bedroom apartment with plenty of space for our family of three. Amazing views overlooking the sea and all the amenities to make for a highly comfortable, enjoyable stay! Would definitely stay here again.

10.0 / 10.0

5 story property right on the water built onto the mountain. Quaint and well-located. Loved the rooftop patio - sat with a sea gull reading and enjoying the sound of the ocean waves. You could hear the ocean all night. Had everything we needed, and the property manager saved us on our checkout day when there was a railway strike, by arranging private transport.

8.0 / 10.0

Everything was great but we asked 4 times for the Wi-Fi code and never received it. Instructions on how to use amenities in the apartment would have been helpful and directions to the office to pick up keys would be great.

10.0 / 10.0

Apartment was very nice, with excellent view! It was a bit of struggle from parking garage to apartment, but worth it.

10.0 / 10.0

We stayed here for three nights (in Oct 23) of our month vacation in Italy. This was one of our favorite stays. The view is stunning, & we enjoyed dinner and drinks from the roof top watching the sun set. This is on the top of the cliff but the walk up was pretty easy, it’s just up a gentle sloping walkway from middle of town. The multiple levels in the apartment were no issue for us…we are 61 & 57. The apartment had portable air conditioners that worked great. In fact we are going to buy some of these when we get home. Manarola was our favorite town in Cinque Terre so really glad we stayed there.

We thoroughly loved our stay in Jo's Casa Bella Vista, and would definitely stay here the next time we are in Manarola. The management team (ArbaSpaa) was terrific, and had everything ready for us, after a quick stop from the train station. They lead us to the apartment, showed us how everything worked (everything did!), fired up the WiFi hotspot for us, then were available anytime. We didn't need them until checkout, when we turned in the keys. If you like stairs, and you must if you are thinking about staying in any of the 5 cities in Cinque Terre, you will appreciate Jo's apartment. The bottom floor is a general meeting area if you have guests (there is a small sink, fridge, and large dining table built into the stone - very cool). We kept our coats and luggage there. The second floor offers a full bath and guest bedroom. The third floor, the master bedroom and full bath, with a nice window that opens onto the ocean (those lovely breezes!). The fourth floor is the main living area, with full kitchen, dishwasher, and clothes washer. Everything worked fine. And the fifth floor has a clothes line, some extra chairs for the outdoor patio, and entrance to the roof-top patio - where the WiFi signals works well enough to stream as you have a glass of wine and watch your favorite show before bed. Take the easy up-steps walk to our fave restaurant, Trattoria dal Billy. Jo was very easy to get in touch with, delivered everything promised, and made our stay in Manarola perfect.

10.0 / 10.0

The pictures simply cannot do justice to the location. The roof top view alone is worth every dollar/euro. It is a bit of an adventure with the stairways and doorways, but completely worth it for those who are fit and able. Five adults thoroughly enjoyed our time here and will come again. Manarola was our favorite of the 5 towns. We recommend “Hellocinqueterre” for the sunset boat tour. They were terrific! Many thanks to Jo and her management company.

This view from this property was undeniably beautiful. Unfortunately, the floors were not clean as there was hair and ants on the floor and bathrooms were also not that clean. We did mention it to the property manager(s) and the reply was sorry but no offers to fix it. I did find the bug spray and took care of the ants daily. When we needed a flame stick to start the oven, they could not deliver it to us. Also, because there is no air conditioning, the fans were not enough so we had to open windows at night but got bitten by bugs.. two weeks later, still require care. Also, the ad does say there are 5 levels, but the steps were straight up and down inside and a bit hard to navigate inside the unit.

10.0 / 10.0

First family vacation with daughters, son-in-law and two friends. Location was ok except for having to walk uphill to get to apt. Apartment was very nice and we loved the rooftop terrace. A few cons , no ac but luckily it wasn’t they hot, but especially there was only one hot spot and there were four floors so only one floor would have Wi-Fi . I would suggest getting a hot spot for each floor or at least one more . Loved that we could cook and also do wash before moving to our next stop

The perfect home base for Cinque Terre

6.0 / 10.0

Group of 4 adults. The house is on multiple levels with narrow staircases to each level and no air conditioning. So if its a summer vacation I would think very carefully about booking. I read other reviews that claimed there were 170 steps to the house. This is not accurate. There is an easily walked ramp straight to the door from the main street. The view is exceptional. The accommodation is fine but if you have any mobility issues there are basically 5 floors, so 4 staircases, although the rear entrance comes in on the 3rd floor with the main kitchen [ there are steps to this door ] and to get to the outside balcony there is a Hobbit door. Over all it was pretty good. We chose the location for the view but air conditioning would go a long way to making a summer stay that much more comfortable. That was our choice but I wouldn't do it again.

6.0 / 10.0

Amazing views and location, but we stayed here 16 years ago and I don’t think anything has changed since then. Quite dirty, bathrooms especially weren’t very clean and with a dirty shower etc. With the amount this cost, it would be great to have air con installed or at least some decent fans as it’s very very hot in there over summer, also our euro plugs didn’t work which was frustrating, would have been good to know this before we arrived
