Lovely places to stay in Vernazza

Gem by the sea Our room by the sea in Vernazza was maybe our favorite of all the places we have stayed anywhere. The Capellinis are so welcoming. They have decorated the space lovingly. The room is directly on the promenade to the sea break, but we left the window open, and at night all we heard were the waves crashing, and the church bell. I loved waking up early and jumping in the warm water of the harbor before the trainloads of people came in. We would feel fortunate to stay there again.

Great apartment right in the beach. This apartment exceeded our expectations. It’s clean, lovely, well thought out for travelers, and it’s genuinely right on the beach. You simply can’t beat the location. The owners are kind and caring. We’d return to this apartment and will recommend to our friends.

Very nice stay in Vernazza My wife and I enjoyed our night in the cozy studio. Would recommend if you don't mind carrying your gear up several flights of stairs. Coordinating with the family owners was a joy. Would not hesitate to book the same room again. Great location. No problem with noise even though the room borders a main square.

Charming Room, Charming Hosts We stayed three nights in the Charming Room in September and were glad we did. It’s right in the heart of Vernazza, just steps from the beach, pizza and gelato. The room was modestly furnished, but lacking nothing we needed and perfectly clean. It’s modestly priced as well. Maria’s daughter Carla met us at the train station and led us on the short walk through town to the Charming Room. We did find it to be charming and well located. We later met Maria and Giacomo, who couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. This location can get a bit lively during the day as the crowds in Vernazza swell, but it is lovely when it quiets down around sunset. If you enjoy being right in the heart of the action, I believe you will be happy you chose the Charming Room, as we were.

Go ! If you like a little 'adventure', and I mean in a good way. Vernazza is the cutest town of the five cities in Cinque Terra. There are NO hotels, let alone resorts. Maria and Giancomo rent out two rooms. We stayed in the larger, The Charming Room. It is small, impeccably clean, a little Spartan, and wonderful! Reading the few less than five star reviews I noticed the '3 star' placing the room on 'the main alleyway toward Monterossa'. NO.....the room faces the Mediterranean ! Literally steps from the water ! The other negative comments were 'the noise'. OK......if that was their experience, it wasn't ours. You are located on 'the main drag'........one of it's charms.........but the town shuts down early and the only people outside in the morning were older townspeople going for a swim.We traveled from Vernazza, after staying three nights. Stayed at the usual 4 and 5 star hotels of Lake Como, the Swiss Alps, and Tuscany. Maria's room was our favorite, and we look forward to returning.But, don't go if you're not willing to except a more casual, authentic experience. Do go if you enjoy wonderful scenery, a 'Fairy Town', and beautiful people.

Lovely Stop to Stay in Cinque Terra This Cozy studio apartment is a central location to stay while visiting Vernazza. This apartment is right off the central square. Restaurants are right below and the harbor is just a few steps away. You are also right on the path that travels between Vernazza and the other Cinque Terra towns. You will be comfortable in this apartment as a couple. There is a small kitchen and a queen size bed. There is a twin day bed so one child would be comfortable here as well. Maria's daughter met me at the train. Maria and her husband live in the building if you need anything. No elevator and the apartment is up a few flights of stairs so be prepared to carry up your bags.

Full Vernazza experience vs. just visiting it. We stayed 3 nights in the Charming Room in Vernazza and enjoyed every minute of it. We normally stay at top hotels, but loved how others commented on this room and location. The mornings and evenings are peaceful and relaxing. Good restaurants and amazing views from your window and steps from your door. Great location to explore all of Cinque Terre. Highly recommend the hike to Corniglia and can see why Rick Steves actually stayed in this room and recommends. Maria, Giacomo and Carla were amazing host.

Location, Location, Location I traveled by train from Rome to Vernazza and stayed in the Charming Room for two nights. I was a solo traveler interested in hiking and seeing the beauty of the Cinque Terre. Based on recommendations from friends and online reviews I had chosen Vernazza for my Cinque Terre adventure. I couldn't have found a better location for accommodations and absolutely enjoyed the Charming Room. It is located right on the harbor and has easy access to the town square where I ate dinner both nights, the train station, hiking and swimming. The room itself has everything you need and there are many thoughtful touches for guests with maps, books, fully equipped kitchen and unique art. The gracious hosts met me at the train station and helped me buy an electrical Adapter before escorting me to my room and showing me everything I needed to know. Room Security was very good And I felt safe even though I was traveling solo. I hiked all day and then enjoyed a refreshing swim in the harbor. I felt so fortunate that this room was available for my short trip and not only did I enjoy a beautifully equipped room but the location overlooking the harbor was exceptional and so special.

Amazing place to stay in Vernazza! My husband and I were very impressed with our stay at the Charming Room! The location was amazing with a view of the harbor, and the room was very clean. This room in on the main street so you don't have to climb stairs to get to it (a plus that many of the other rooms in Vernazza are not able to offer). The check in was very smooth. We were met at the train station by Marie's daughter in law who walked us to the room and got us settled. We initially had difficulties connecting to Wifi, however Marie and her husband were very quick to work with us to get the issue resolved (we learned that it was an issue with one of our devices rather than the Wifi itself). We had a great stay at the Charming Room. You will not be disappointed if you book this room!

Idyllic location for Vernazza stay! We stayed in the Charming Room for 3 nights while staying in Vernazza. It reminded me very much of an Air BnB experience in terms of meeting the host and being brought to the accommodation. The charming room is small but in an idyllic location, next to a Gelateria right along the harbour in the main square. A big plus is that there are no steps to climb with luggage when you arrive. (We noticed lots of accommodation up in the hills when we were out wandering so be sure to do your research!) We couldn’t have asked for a better base to explore Cinque Terre from. Nowhere is perfect however. The WiFi was patchy at best and we really noticed the lack of air-con at night. There is an overhead fan but it didn’t do much to cool the room. It felt like a very personal experience with the owner even calling us one of the evenings to check if everything was okay. We were happy with the price and would happily return to what truly was a charming room.
