About this property

A typical Ligurian house in MANAROLA with roof terrace, sea views and AC.

  • 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.

Casa Bella Vista is certainly true to its name. What a special and spectacular property! We stayed with our 2, 23 yo sons (both over 6’ tall) and we all agreed it was amazing. The home itself was clean and well stocked. The towels were oversized and the sheets were very comfortable. I mention the height of our sons because the inside stairs could pose a challenge for taller individuals, however they did not have any issues. The walk to the apartment is no more challenging than any walk in Cinqueterre (less, actually) so was to be expected. The uniqueness of the home really made it a pleasurable stay! It truly felt like ‘home’. And…the rooftop view truly makes this property worth every penny.
The downstairs kitchen - so unique and fun!
View from the first bedroom.
Another sunset!
Rooftop sunset - incomparable!

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.

What an amazing house and even more spectacular view.

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!

Cinque Terre

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.

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.

Fabulous authentic location

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.

Beautiful view, Quirky property but fabulous !

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

Beautiful location

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.

Stunning view

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.

Amazing view

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

Manarola Holiday

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.

Nice historical property with some quirks

Great contact with the host and the property management company. Amazing view and a nice location. The property is pretty well detailed in the host description, but it would be good to highlight a few items: There is no AC. This was tough during the very hot weather we experienced during our visit. With windows & doors open, we could not get a breeze going through the house. It remained very hot & humid throughout our entire stay, even through the night. Fans were supplied but portable tower AC units would be a thoughtful upgrade. The stairways are very narrow & very steep…almost like ladders. Ok for fit adults & teens, but they may be difficult & a bit dangerous for younger kids & elderly folks. The bottom floor was not in a condition suitable for a bedroom or otherwise as sleeping quarters. It was very dank & damp, musty.

The place was not as clean as it should have been for the high per night rate paid.

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.
