It is just steps away from the main street and the beach. The furniture is of high quality and antiques. The outdoor space is on two levels with plenty of room for outdoor dining and lounging. You can come back from the sea and leave all wet towels and clothes to dry in the sun. We hope you enjoy it!

Casa Carla was perfect for our group of 5 people.
We loved sitting on the terrace, watching the people below and the trains come and go. It is quite a climb with luggage, but worth it.
Centrally located in Veenqzza, the uphill trek to and from Casa Carla really gives the impression of how the local lives. The property is perfect for family, the patio which overlooks the village is perfect for morning coffee or late night relaxing.
Comfortable and cozy.
Pros: centrally located in the heart of Vernazza along the trail to Corniglia, comfortable for six people, awesome terrace, charming entrance, washer, Paolo was very friendly at check in. Cons: no dryer like the listing says (but you can hang clothes outside), lots of stairs (fine for us but would be difficult for the elderly or disabled), noisy with train and church bells, no communication about checkout.Overall a fantastic place--highly recommended!
The property is very much a part of Vernazza and Cinque Terre. We were greated by the host and escorted to the property and given a tour of the house. Beautiful views of town. Close to train station.
We stayed at Casa Carla for 3 nights and absolutely loved it. Although you need to take quite a few stairs to get to the apartment it is well worth it. The views of the city and the main street are great. You are a short walk to everything Vernazza has to offer. The apartment beds are comfortable and it has everything you would need to make your stay special.
The house was as described and was clean and close to the trail. The deck was nice and spacious. It is recommended to agree on communication ahead of time as we had a minor question that was left unanswered through VRBO message; however, they have a restaurant in town so assume we could have gone into town to ask.
Wonderful base for our 6 night stay in Cinque Terre. 2 couples and we loved this apartment with 2 balconies. Paolo and Julia were great hosts and made check-in and out very easy. Lots of stairs to climb and train station nearby but this only added to the charm. Highly recommend this apartment.

Paolo was wonderful and kind host. The village of Vernazza was very charming and picturesque! The property was a little beat up- one of the windows wouldn’t shut and there was a storm that night the window was banging and it scared my youngest son. Although, you had to climb a significant amount of stairs to get to the property, it felt like it was straight out of a movie.
The renovated barn provides access to all Tuscany has to offer. From the cable cab in Certaldo to the exciting vineyards of the environs you have the opportunity to enjoy all. We loved the patio for sunsets, the barbecue for al fresco dining and the vistas of the country side. Gambassi provided a wonderful Enoteca for local wines and information. Leonardo spent time acclimating us to all the wonderful amenities. A perfect place for a extraordinary holiday. Great restaurants and vineyards close by. Highly recommended but be aware of the 1km gravel entrance drive.
This property housed our group well. Lots of space and beds. We loved the location despite the stairs! The locked gate gave us added security as we were a group of women. We did use the washing machine and felt very Italian by hanging our laundry out to dry. It was right off the Cinque Terre Trail and close To the train station. One member of our group was very sad that the coffee maker didn’t work. Great stay at a great price
We all loved this location and property. It's in a great location, except there are a lot of stairs. We found out there are a lot of stairs throughout Cinque Terre. I can't think of one thing we didn't like. The patio was great. It had a good view of the main street to watch the activities below.
It was clean, the host was helpful answering questions. We needed to check in at the restaurant, it is Tavern/Bar del Capitano. We had a bit of trouble finding it. Other than that our stay was perfect. The food at the restaurant was yummy.
I would love to go back.
Thank you for a great vacation.

Close to Everything
We stayed with friends for 3 nights at Casa Carla. Positives: close to everything in Vernazza, spacious apartment with nice outside terraces for relaxing.
Negatives: Very noisy. We were only 100 meters from the train station and the noise from that was problematic. Also, being on the main street, noise from garbage collection at 5am was also unexpected. The apartment was clean but very dated and there wasn't much interior sitting room for 4 people except at the table.
Another factor: There are a lot of steps to get to the apartment so hauling luggage up from the train was also a challenge.
Bottom line: apartment was adequate but nothing spectacular. Views of the ocean were limited.

GREAT, BUT NOT AS GOOD AS IT COULD BE!
The apartment has great potential in terms of its size, its wonderful outdoor areas and its location but we were disappointed with the cleanliness (eg fridge and cupboards), unkept promises (assistance with luggage on arrival) and the maintenance of the property. Trains were noisy but we got used to them and they almost added to the experience. Still had a great time and it was still a fantastic base from which to explore Cinque Terra, but a shame more attention has not been given to detail. There are 79 steps up from street level (not untypical in Vernazza) and in the week we were there, we witnessed multiple falls and injuries on one individual step, so climbing not for the physically faint and care needed on descent.
We loved the outdoor terraces. The apartment is a bit worn, but still a good place. There are A LOT OF STAIRS to climb to get to the apartment. We loved Vernazza and the Cinque Terre.
We liked the place. Short distance to everything. We stayed 3 nights and it was very good. It is a little bit noisy with the train, but I guess it is like that everywhere in the village.

Paolo and his team were so nice. The people of vernazza are warm and hospitable. This was my second trip to vernazza and having a place to stay in the village itself was key to our experience.
This is a great central place to stay in Cinque Terre. After visiting all five towns Vernazza is quite possibly best in terms of scenery and convenience. Both trails were open to hike to Monterosso and Corniglia while all other legs to the south were shut. Plenty of restaurants and shops all around. Overall very good.
Very nice place. Excellent views of hills behind Vernazza, the main street and the train station. 79 steps from the street to the gate, but that's par for the course in Cinque Terre. The local train noise isn't too bad but the ones that fly through without stopping are pretty loud. I don't think we lost much sleep, though. We had no issues but we never heard from management after checking in. Our host did schlepp a large suitcase all the way up. The house notes didn't tell us what to do with the keys when we left so we just left them by the TV.
Paolo, our host, kindly greeted us while running his restaurant and gave us some pointers about the town. This 3 bedroom apartment is perfectly located up just a few steps to the top of the building with views of the train station and all the businesses in the Main Street. When all the tourists leave for the day, you will be glad you stayed. Great service. Great restaurants everywhere.

Disliked: Communication, location
Property was just ok. A few problems here and there, but they were generally resolved. Kitchen was generally a mix of leftover glasses, cookware, etc. Weather was hot and humid and there was a single, standalone air conditioner in the main room. Fans elsewhere led to a sticky, humid environment overall. Lots of steps (90) to get up and down to street level and train noise was fairly constant. This was noted in the listing and previous comments, so no surprise, but make sure you are prepared for this if you stay here.

Wonderful apartment. Very hard to climb to if you have heavy bags. Nice kitchen. Great patio. Plenty of space. Enjoyed it thoroughly.
The house was well located. Nice terrace. Close to everything. Also, close to the train station which is making a bit of noise but I think it is difficult to avoid that because the train station is located close to almost everything in Vernazza.
