Italy trip 25

We had a great time in Manarola. It is a steep climb to get to the villa but the views are amazing! Rita was very helpful with the check-in and explaining the amenities in the house. It was perfect for two couples. If we ever get back to Manarola we will definitely stay there again.

This is a wonderful home in Manarola. We had delightful views and there's a balcony on every floor, so you always feel part of the sea. Lorella was so thoughtful to show us around the home, letting us know how to open doors, and how to use the washing machine. It was so nice to have dedicated clothes lines too, since we came from a hiking portion of our trip. I love hanging clothes to dry. We feel so lucky that she shared this home with us. We could not imagine a more beautiful place.

View, View, View! And lots of balconies and windows to enjoy it from! The communication with Lorella was wonderful. She was quick to answer any correspondence before and during our stay. We love Cinque Terre and having visited before, we knew we wanted to stay in Manarola, and this time we were there for 2 weeks! Loved the Via Del Amore, a beautiful and easy walk to Riomaggiore, day or night. Be sure to sign up for the Pesto making class at Nessun Dorma, it truly was a highlight experience for us! Super fun and much more than you expect. I would definitely stay at Lorella’s villa again and highly recommend it to anyone.

Cinque Terre in general is a remarkable place. From the turquois ocean to the mountains to the colorful homes nestled into the mountain sides. Lorella's property couldn't have been in a better location to take it all in. Lorella was very accommodating and responsive to our needs.

Best View in Manarola !

This has to be the best view from any property in Manarola ! A wonderful property, clinging to the rocks with delightful balconies and terraces. Lorella was most helpful with the booking and arrival processes and obviously takes great pride in her lovely family home. The property is in a quiet part of town with just the sound of the sea crashing against the rocks and enjoys great privacy. Definitely worth the walk up the hill ! We would thoroughly recommend this property.

We (my husband, brother, and our 2 moms) LOVED everything about this unique home. From the waves crashing at night, the 3 different balconies, the outdoor shower, the beautiful decor, and the absolute best views in Manarola... period. Lorella was fantastic and communicated quickly with anything we needed. The place is truly magical and we will be back!!!

Properties in Cinque Terre are usually small. This property was on the larger side. The view was just amazing. Improvements to the broken shower on the main bedroom level should be made. Lorella was easy to work with and helped with arranging a doctor visit. Would recommend without hesitation.

Absolutely Stunning!!

We spent 5 amazing nights here in Manarola and we are already trying to plan a trip back. The home is absolutely perfect! The beds are comfortable, the views are spectacular. We chose to bring back dinner and wine to enjoy on the balcony because it's the best view on the island. Lorella is an outstanding host and goes through the house with great detail when you arrive. Which helps you know the house simply. She also has great recommendations on hikes, restaurants , the trains and the ferry. We hiked from Manarola to Corniglia one of the days and it was challenging but gorgeous. I HIGHLY recommend booking this home if you have the opportunity. We are still smiling thinking of our time spent here. LOVELY

What a fantastic Villa overlooking the Ligurian sea. Perfect settin for a wonderful stay in CT

The Villa was everything that was marketed on the Home Awwy site. Rita and Lorella were great hosts helping us out with local sightseeing matters and responding quickly to texts when we had problems starting the dishwasher and washing machine. The site of the Villa overlooking the Ligurian Sea in Manarola was perfect and the views Bellissimo. Yes there are steps but you know that when you are visiting the Cinque Terre towns. Could not have asked for a more perfect site for us to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Highly recommend the Villa to couples looking for a once in a life time experience watching the early morning scenes from the master bedroom overlooking the sea and having dinner and drinks while watching the sun set. Loved every aspect of the Villa.

Cliffside Retreat

Lorella’s property overlooking the small harbor in Manarola is one of a kind. The 3 story home sits on a cliff overlooking the harbor below, with the bedrooms and kitchen/living room area split among the three levels. The views are something from a movie and the 3 bedrooms are spacious and easy to keep cool with the AC units in each. There is a washing machine for your laundry that you can hang to dry in the breeze from the ocean. The kitchen is equipped with all that you need to dine in should you want. The check process was super simple and take Lorella & Rita up on the offer for someone to transport your bags up to the house. I cannot thank Lorella enough for all her assistance with our booking (from a car service from Genoa to transport to Lucca when the trains went on strike) and allowing us to stay in her beautiful home. If you are looking for a relaxing retreat in a laid-back town then look no further. Thanks again Lorella, we hope to be back soon.

Spectacular villa overlooking the see

Beautiful villa overlooking the sea was a perfect vacation destination. The kitchen was fully equipped and met all our needs. Lorella, our hostess and owner, was so helpful providing local information from train schedules, boat schedules and city information. The house was very clean and provided all our necessities to include beach towels. The extra touches as cold water upon our arrival, cart for shopping and list of best restaurants and gelato! The kumquat and lemon trees were a pleasant treat. Daily, while drinking our morning coffee, planning our adventures, we sat on the terrace overlooking the harbor. Total tranquility with a morning breeze, and a view of Corniglia and Monterosso. We stayed 2 weeks, and could have stayed a month easily, so much to see and do in Cinque Terre. We visited all 5 terres, hiked the trails, visited wineyards with delicious wine tasting, swimming in the blue clear harbor and enjoyed meeting the friendly locals in our daily activities. At the end of our day, we would enjoy sipping wine on the 3rd floor terrace, surrounded with blooming flowers and watching the gorgeous sunset followed by the village lights or the fishing boats heading out for anchovy fishing. Manarola has great restaurants offering pizza, pasta, local daily caught fish and wonderful local wines and beer, with tasty desserts and limoncello. Cinque Terre offers something for everyone, be it singles, family, couples, young and old. We highly recommend this beautiful, perfectly located villa and are already planning our return. Thank you, Lorella for an absolute dream vacation. We look forward to returning and staying in your spectacular villa.

Paradise found in Manarola

My wife and I with our two sons (ages 11 and 17) spent a week at Bellevedere226 and I can't say enough positive things about the experience. Lorella was super helpful when booking the reservation, providing suggestions on activities and restaurants, and immediately addressing any (small) issues we had during our stay. Then there's the house, the views over the Ligurian Sea are amazing as are the sounds of the waves crashing on the rocks below as you drift off to sleep or awake for your next daily adventure. House is well stocked and small grocery nearby was sufficient to purchase staples. Made use of the laundry facilities (mid-way through our 3 week trip). We enjoyed great dining at 3 restaurants in Manarola (Trattoria Dal Billy, Marina Piccola and Aristide with the latter having an amazing 9-dish seafood anitpasti) as well dinners at restaurants in Riomagiorre and Monterosso al Mare (each are short train rides away). Enjoyed great appetizers and drinks at Nessun Dorma Cinque Terre on our last evening, there can be a long wait with tourists arriving by boat but we lucked out (easy to see when line is short from the house with ~5 min walk). Activity highlights were jumping into the water from the rock near the marina (~30 ft), swimming and hiking from Manarola to Vernazza via Sella Marvede (672 m) with more of the most amazing views and a great lunch at Trattoria da Sandro before taking the train back to base in Manarola. Endless time enjoying the views with coffee, wine, a good book complimented by the well stocked collection of music... The question isn't whether you should book this location the first time, it's when will you book your next stay to enjoy it all over again? Can't wait to return, thanks for the memories!

Exceeded expectations

Very hard to peel ourselves away from such a beautiful property. Lorella has maintained a beautiful property in an amazing location. We were delighted to have this as our home base as we explored the region. We were greeted in Manarola by Lorella's friend, Rita. A very warm and gracious lady, who was extremely helpful in adding to the tips and guidance we had already been gathering. We would have been glad to have spent more time with Rita! We found the highlight of Cinque Terre to be the great hikes we took, followed by fun in the water, whether kayaking or a boat rental. We got lucky having chosen Manarola as a home base. This is a great town, somewhat lesser traveled by the larger crowds which can be found in Montorosso or Vernazza. In all cases, the largest crowds tend to be day visitors, making mornings and evenings much more relaxing. Our morning routine quickly settled in by picking up fresh produce and provisions for breakfast, and bringing them back to enjoy on one of the terraces of Belvedere 226. We planned our adventures for the day while looking over a beautiful harbor. In hindsight, the swimmers among us should have been going for open water swims each morning - the crystal clear waters were so calm. We hiked, kayaked, rented a boat in Vernazza, rode bikes from Levanto to Framura, snorkeled, relaxed on beaches, and more during the daytime. Evenings ranged from lovely dining experience (Miky) to take out. Wine tasting at various locations, with the wine tasting experience in Vernazza a particular highlight. All the while, the beautiful home base in Manarola. Lorella's property is beautiful, clean, extremely well equipped. I consider myself a decent photographer, and can comfortably say neither my photos, nor the ones on this website due justice to the beauty of this location.

Two weeks of perfection

We just finished a wonderful two week stay in this beautiful villa. There were 4 of us the first week, and 5 of us the second week. There are not enough adjectives to describe this wonderful place. Lorella has done a fantastic job of describing her property, and it was exactly as we expected. The property was clean, and well appointed, and Lorella was available by email to answer any questions we had as the week went on. We loved spending time on the balconies just watching the activity in the harbor, the sunsets, and the few storms move in and out. We had intended to cook some of our meals, but in reality, we just ate out or got takeout from the shops in town. The hike up and down the hill put us in great shape for all the other hikes we did while in the Cinque Terre. There are many good eating places.......we were a little disappointed with Billy's as it had come highly recommended by many, but we found it to be average..........We loved Porticciolo and had 2 fantastic meals there.......we also tried all the morning spots for our cappuccino and brioche. Our favorite spot was Nessun Dorma - we loved taking the Pesto Course there, and getting a spritz and snacks in the afternoon - Simone was a delightful instructor. It was fun to sit outside while sipping cappuccino and watch the town get ready for the day with all the deliveries and store openings. We also really enjoyed our sunset cruise with Daniele. Another great experience was the Olive Oil Tasting Course at Olivium. The al fresco shower in the laundry room was a delight. I really can't think of a thing that needs to be changed. The property is very good value for the dollar, and we recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great Italian experience. We love hiking, and found this to be a great base for that. We would leave town mid morning before it got too crowded, spend the better part of the day on the trails, then return in the evening when the crowds were dying down. Manarola is one of the more quiet towns, so most evenings it was very peaceful. Thank you Lorella for a marvelous stay in a wonderful villa!

Killer views

This is the house when you look up at the hills and I want to stay in that house! Everything in the house is comfortable and well provided. The location is excellent. Manarola is a great town to stay in out of the five. You will climb many hills and many stairs wherever you are in the Cinque. The small walkways with no cars are part of the charm and the experience. You will not be disappointed if you stay here.
