Maemuna Sea View Apartment

Maemuna Sea View



A fisherman’s hideaway suspended over the sea – Vernazza, Cinque Terre



Set just above the iconic Belforte restaurant, in the very heart of Vernazza, Maemuna Sea View is a unique and atmospheric retreat inspired by traditional fishermen’s homes. Compact and seemingly suspended above the water, it offers the rare sensation of staying aboard a boat, with the Ligurian Sea unfolding endlessly before your eyes.



The apartment



Bright and welcoming, the living area features a double sofa bed, dining table and uninterrupted sea views that fill the space with light throughout the day.

The sea-view bedroom offers an intimate setting where the gentle sound of the waves becomes your nightly lullaby.



The kitchen corner is compact yet well equipped for light meals and relaxed breakfasts, with induction hob, fridge, microwave, kettle and Nespresso machine.

The bathroom is very compact, inspired by a boat cabin, with shower and functional layout.



Comfort & atmosphere



Natural sea breezes keep the apartment pleasantly cool in summer; fans are provided, and heating is available during permitted months. Please note that air conditioning is not present, in keeping with the original structure.



From the living area, the sea becomes part of your stay: glowing sunsets in summer and dramatic winter waves create an ever-changing natural spectacle.



Location & access



Located above Ventegà Square, the apartment requires climbing steps. Porter service is available on request to assist with luggage.



Ideal for



Couples seeking a romantic escape, solo travellers or small families looking for an authentic village experience, and photography lovers drawn to dramatic seascapes.



The legend of Maemuna



According to local folklore, Maemuna was a young woman who hid from Saracen pirates in a sea cave below Vernazza, enchanting sailors with her songs. On stormy nights, locals say her voice can still be heard among the rocks — a view you can glimpse directly from the apartment windows.



Pets



Small dogs are welcome upon request, with a supplement and in accordance with house rules (lead required, no access to beds or settees, respect for other guests).



Cinque Terre Riviera services



Guests enjoy a complimentary welcome breakfast for the first day, high-quality essential supplies (including local extra virgin olive oil and eco-friendly Nespresso pods), professional cleaning, sustainable practices and a concierge office in Vernazza open daily from 9:30 to 18:30 (mid-March to early November).



Important information



Italian law requires identity verification before arrival and advance communication of arrival time. Due to the location within the Cinque Terre National Park, technical assistance response times may occasionally be longer.

Fantastic view

Very small, tricky to get to, lots of stairs, drop dead gorgeous views. Surprisingly had everything we needed, but only bed is a fold out sofa couch.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The view was singular. The photos don't do it justice. Be aware that there are steep stairs to get in and around the apartment. The owner was so helpful and arranged a porter for my bags. It was a very restful stay. It's a busy tourist area but the noise levels weren't that bad at all. It's a special place.

Best of the Best

Vernazza was my favorite stop on a one week Florence - Cinque Terre - Nice vacation run and this apartment and the wonderful woman that manage it contributed largely to that. Always friendly and gracious and the apartment had style and class and the sea and port filling each of it's big windows. I will be back. This will become a pilgrimage. thanks ladies!
