A typical Ligurian house with roof terrace, stunning 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.

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.

Manarola Ocean Breezes
We thoroughly loved our stay in Jo's Casa Bella Vista, and would definitely stay here the next time we are in Manarola. The management team (ArbaSpaa) was terrific, and had everything ready for us, after a quick stop from the train station. They lead us to the apartment, showed us how everything worked (everything did!), fired up the WiFi hotspot for us, then were available anytime. We didn't need them until checkout, when we turned in the keys. If you like stairs, and you must if you are thinking about staying in any of the 5 cities in Cinque Terre, you will appreciate Jo's apartment. The bottom floor is a general meeting area if you have guests (there is a small sink, fridge, and large dining table built into the stone - very cool). We kept our coats and luggage there. The second floor offers a full bath and guest bedroom. The third floor, the master bedroom and full bath, with a nice window that opens onto the ocean (those lovely breezes!). The fourth floor is the main living area, with full kitchen, dishwasher, and clothes washer. Everything worked fine. And the fifth floor has a clothes line, some extra chairs for the outdoor patio, and entrance to the roof-top patio - where the WiFi signals works well enough to stream as you have a glass of wine and watch your favorite show before bed. Take the easy up-steps walk to our fave restaurant, Trattoria dal Billy. Jo was very easy to get in touch with, delivered everything promised, and made our stay in Manarola perfect.

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.

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.

Family vacation
First family vacation with daughters, son-in-law and two friends. Location was ok except for having to walk uphill to get to apt. Apartment was very nice and we loved the rooftop terrace. A few cons , no ac but luckily it wasn’t they hot, but especially there was only one hot spot and there were four floors so only one floor would have Wi-Fi . I would suggest getting a hot spot for each floor or at least one more . Loved that we could cook and also do wash before moving to our next stop

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.

Great location but rundown and dirty inside
Amazing views and location, but we stayed here 16 years ago and I don’t think anything has changed since then. Quite dirty, bathrooms especially weren’t very clean and with a dirty shower etc. With the amount this cost, it would be great to have air con installed or at least some decent fans as it’s very very hot in there over summer, also our euro plugs didn’t work which was frustrating, would have been good to know this before we arrived

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.
