Rosa di Mare Apartment - balcony wonderful sea view - wash machine - AC

Our host was fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. The apartment was well appointed, modern, and with beautiful views. Manarola is the perfect sport to stay while exploring the region.

Our second time in Manarola and we loved staying here! Stunning view but still a manageable walk that we could handle to get there! Great air conditioning, comfortable beds, and check in was so easy! We were greeted at the tunnel, he helped us with our bags, and sent us many recommendations for dining and activities!!

Lovely property. Gianluca was a great host. Mey us a train and walked us to apartment. Lots of restaurant recommendations and made reservations for us. Just a great stay. Highly recommended.

Amazing stay, amazing apartment. So glad we stayed in Manarola as opposed to the other villages. The host, Gianluca, was fantastic. He met us outside the tunnel from the train station to the village and escorted us to the flat. He provided the Residents supplemental card for the Via Dell'amore, we could use it as much as we wanted from both Manarola or from Riomaggiore with the trekking/train card. The flat is a good hike up from the train station, but not too bad. The flat was very clean and comfortable. We are two couples who each had our own bedroom and bathroom with the kitchen and living room in the middle. Both bedrooms and living space had air conditioning. The balcony is very tiny, only two people can be out there at one time. There is an ocean view and you can see as far as Monterroso and Corniglia. There is a small clothes line on the balcony and there is a washing machine in the flat which was very handy. We didn't do any cooking in the flat because the restaurants around are so good. Gianluca was so kind to make us reservations for three different and fantastic restaurants. Everything was so tasty. Highly recommend Da Aristide.

Our stay in Manarola was so enjoyable and allowed opportunities for so many fun outdoor activities and delicious meals. Gianluca was a fantastic host who provided so much useful information about the area and helped us with dinner reservations and Cinque Terre card tickets. We loved chatting with him and highly recommend his property!

The Rosa di Mare apartment was the perfect place for our family to stay. The two separate but connected spaces allowed us all to be together with privacy for everyone. The view from balcony was beautiful and we spent most of our time out there if we weren’t out in town. Manarola and Rosa di Mare were a nice home base to explore CinqueTerre as it was easily accessible from the train station. Gianluca was a wonderful host and helped us with our plans both before and during our trip. I would highly recommend to anyone coming to the area.

The apartment was in a great location. Still close to the main streets of Manarola without being in the middle of the hustle and bustle. Easy access to the train station, restaurants and had a great view of Manarola. Host greeted us personally and gave us lots of great advice

Gianluca was an amazing host! He was such an excellent communicator before and during our entire stay! He met us at the apartment, gave thorough instructions, and was so welcoming! He had made booked us a reservation for dinner at Trattoria Billy which was one of the best dinners we had in Italy for 14 days-excellent seafood! Manarola is a wonderful town to stay while hiking and exploring all 5 of the villages. Our place was beautiful, well stocked, and like having 2 apartments. I just cannot say enough about how wonderful our stay is and Cinque Terre is a magical place. Enjoy hikes while you’re here for sure and be ready to climb! 2 recommendations would be from Monterosso to Vernazza and another from Corniglia to Vernazza( great spot to Stop for cappuccino and treat)Great view and pictures here! This apartment has everything you will need to have an amazing time- book today. Thank you again Gianluca for your kindness and hospitality- I will be back for sure!

The host, Gianluca, is special and very accommodating. We had an excellent 5 night stay

This was our favorite stay of our whole trip! This apartment was perfect, updated and very clean. Gianluca is the best host we’ve ever had and he is so passionate about Manarola and this rental. This is the only VRBO we’ve stayed in that is treated as a home and not a rental and it was so nice. It’s also close to the train station! I absolutely recommend Manarola (it was our favorite town) and this rental. The only thing I would’ve liked to see was a drying rack as the clothes line wasn’t enough for 4 people but it’s the only recommendation I could even think of to share. There are A LOT of inclines and steps in Manarola (and the other towns). No matter which direction you go when you leave the apartment, there’s a workout involved. It was manageable for us but sharing for those who may be less mobile. Keep a water bottle with you (there’s 2 stores close by). Book this rental, eat all the gelato and enjoy your trip!!!
