This seriously is the best home base for a Cinque Terre trip. The apartment is very well equipped and there is a daily cleaning service to keep the place feeling brand new whenever you return from the days adventures. Bed was very comfortable and kitchen was perfect for making pasta to enjoy on the terrace. Francesco the host was amazing and gave very helpful advice on how to spend our time in the towns. He was super responsive and overall the best host we could have asked for!

Beautiful property. Very clean, great location, easy to locate, air conditioning worked great, comfortable, well equipped, friendly & helpful staff. Can’t say enough good things about this place! We stayed in 7 different locations in Europe and this place was easily the highlight.

The amount of stairs be how hilly the Conque Terre is but it is a very small price to pay for such amazing location and views

Had a great stay at Amanarola. Francesco was super helpful and the Cinque Terre area is spectacular. Would highly recommend staying at Amanarola and having visited all 5 villages we definitely felt like Manarola was the best choice for us.

I have no complaints.

The location was very easy to find, very convenient, super clean with coffee maker. The host was quick to respond to every request for information and also gave great recommendations. This was a great place to stay and I definitely plan to come again. Wonderful experience.

Location was perfect. In a quiet part of Manarola but still really close to everything. Francesco was extremely helpful and gave lots of advice on the best way to navigate the logistics of Cinque Terre. The accommodation was clean, modern & exactly as pictured. Small balcony was lovely. Would definitely stay again.

Staying at Amanarola in Manarola was nothing short of magical, and it’s all thanks to the incredible hospitality of Francesco, the heart and soul of this charming accommodation. From the moment we arrived, he went above and beyond to make us feel not just welcome, but truly at home. His passion for the region is infectious—he provided us with a treasure trove of tips, personalized recommendations, and local insights that turned our four-day stay in Cinque Terre into an unforgettable experience. Francesco’s attention to detail, warmth, and genuine care for his guests is unparalleled. The accommodation itself was pristine, comfortable, and beautifully maintained, but it was Francesco who truly made this trip extraordinary. If you’re planning to explore Cinque Terre, staying at Amanarola and meeting Francesco should be at the very top of your list—you won’t find a more thoughtful or enthusiastic host anywhere.

Excellent location! In the heart of the town, and Francesco was an excellent host. He helped us navigate the Cinqueterre passes and regulations, as well as giving us a great tip on adding the newly opened Via dell'Amore to our itinerary, as well as a hike to Valostra that we wouldn't have done otherwise.

Could have provided tea spoons for making tea and coffee (with milk or sugar)

Francesco was an excellent host. There was a train strike the day of our arrival and Francesco forewarned us and advised us on alternative transportation route via bus to next nearest town and even picked us up from the bus station in his car! His advice on hiking routes, hiking and train passes were fantastic and made our holiday in Cinque Terre unforgettable! The property was clean, comfortable and quiet (except for the church bells nearby ringing at 7am!).

This property was up from town center and so it was nice and laid back and quiet but very close to the train station. Our host was exceptional and the room was wonderful. Just like the picture!

Nothing it’s perfect. Just be prepared to climb stairs up and down in Manarola everywhere ☺️. It rained a bit but you just have to make the best of it. Francesco has plenty of umbrellas so no worries.

We loved everything. The accommodations were very clean, top notch and well equipped. The deck was perfect for relaxing. The shower is hot and lots power. The bed was super comfy. Overall just a great space for 3 days. Thanks Francesco for all your advice and helping with our suitcases. Would recommend this place to everyone.

Francesco was just a brilliant host! Nothing was too much trouble. The location is only a 5 min walk from the station (although it is uphill!) and minutes from lovely restaurants (we recommend Billy’s and La Regina). Definitely recommend!

Nothing - all positive.

Everything was perfect. The location was great - a little uphill but not too bad. We hadn’t been to Cinque Terre before, but we were very glad we chose Manarola as it was definitely our favourite. Francesco was the perfect host - communication was excellent via WhatsApp, and he gave us lots of helpful tips for the holiday. It was well worth the extra money for our private balcony. We ate every day on it, watching the lovely old bell tower and church opposite. Loads of lovely restaurants and shops surrounding us, and some great hikes between the villages.

A lot of stairs to walk up to get into the unit.

The property had an urban chic vibe. It was spacious and the balcony was the highlight.
