This historic home, overlooking Vernazza’s main square and its small harbor, has just been renovated to make it even more comfortable and unique. Major upgrades include: air conditioning in all rooms; a second bathroom with shower/hamam featuring chromotherapy and music via Bluetooth from your mobile phone; a brand-new kitchen with custom-designed furnishings and an ice maker; and, last but not least, two additional sleeping spaces (total capacity: 6 guests).

This spectacular home, located in the very heart of Vernazza on its iconic square, offers guests a vibrant and lively atmosphere. It is beautifully furnished with antique pieces collected from all over the world by its owner, a native of Vernazza.

The house comfortably accommodates up to six guests in two bedrooms and the living area: a double bedroom overlooking the living space, from which it is carefully and fully separated by curtains; a second bedroom with two custom-made single beds; and a comfortable sofa with two single beds that can be joined for couples.
A crib for children aged 0 to 3 is also available.

Just seconds from the house, you can immerse yourself in the true life of the village: aperitifs, swimming, sunbathing, walks, guided tours, and outdoor dining. The home is equipped with all the amenities you need to enjoy your stay to the fullest and feel right at home.

It is the ideal base for exploring the Cinque Terre, the Ligurian Riviera (Portofino, Portovenere, San Fruttuoso di Camogli, Rapallo, Santa Margherita, etc.), and some of Italy’s most beautiful art cities (Pisa, Florence, Siena, Genoa, etc.).

The house measures 70 sqm and was originally built on a single level; it has since been reorganized into multiple levels at different heights, creating a clear hierarchy of spaces and enhancing the perception of openness.

If you are looking for a special and unique home for your holiday—where you can relax with comfortable hamam-style seating while listening to your favorite music—“La Piazzetta” is the perfect place for you.

    This little apartment in the middle of Vernazza's square is a gem! This apartment is in the perfect location! Stefania did an excellent job communicating with us about how to get there and how to access the apartment. The apartment was beautifully decorated and so clean! It has a microwave and refrigerator that we use to warm up our leftovers and to make tea in the morning. It also has a range we did not use as we ate out. The location is idyllic. After long walks, we loved returning to rest while still feeling immersed in the lively square—just open the windows and you can hear the waves crashing in the harbor and the gentle buzz of village life below. We loved our stay at this UNIQUE place, and would book again!

    Great location as right at main piazza and near fishing boats. Terrible location in that it is excessively noisy. No AC so no option to close windows. Limited supplies, 1 towel per person for milt day stay. No cleaning supplies, no paper towel, one dish towel. Suitable space for a couple or parents and 2 children. Not suitable for 4 adults. One queen bed and bunk bed room is repurposed closet. No room for luggage and only one person can stand in the room at a time. Important to know 20 steep steps to unit. Fine for us but could be a challenge for some. Decor is fun and view is charming. Easy to check in and check out.

    The location of this property is fabulous. Right on the square in Vernazza. Stefania is a great communicator and addressed our questions/issues immediately. If you haven’t visited this part of Italy be prepared to do a lot of uphill walking and stairs. Stafania’s place has 20 steep stairs to navigate from the plaza as well as a few steps in the apartment. My travel partner was disappointed in the twin bed in the very small room as the mattress is very hard. Overall our stat was comfortable with basic amenities.

Unique is an excellent way to describe this perfect place from the location right on the piazza looking out on the action to the amazing interior decorating and spacious layout. I was expecting great but it way exceeded our expectations. If you visit Vernazza, it is the place to stay. Our host, Stefania did great with communication and is very welcoming. Thank you for such a magical time.

    Beautiful apartment in the amazing town of Vernazza. The location was right off the square and was ideal for shopping, hiking the trails or enjoying the beach. The flat was beautifully decorated with sea views. Only thing to note, the washing machine was not in the flat, but was a laundry mat at the top of the hill. Highly recommend staying here if you want to truly enjoy all Vernazza has to offer.

    The perfect place to stay for a visit to Cinque Terre! Vernazza is a gem, and we were able to walk out the front door and swim off the beach and from the pier. Delicious restaurant within minutes of the front door. The apartment itself was beautifully maintained - so quaint and comfortable. With three air conditioners (one in each bedroom and one in the main living area)! We had a restful, magical, and very comfortable stay! Thank you Stefania!

    There is a place that is a slice of heaven, so perfect you never want to leave yet so surreal that you are there. That place is this amazing property in the heart of Vernazza. Stefania was amazing with communication and detail for checkin. The property was clean, quirky, and loaded with modern amenities. The A/C worked great! The view of the action in the marina was exciting. I only wish there was someone who could roll our bags through the stone streets and hike them up the stairs - Hahaha! But all in all perfection!

    This is a wonderful apartment!!! The location is on the square next to the water. The apartment is very comfortable. There are 4-5 excellent restaurants in the square (piazza). It is central to all of Cinque Terre. We hiked to Monterosso al Mare, bought the train pass for two days and went to the other towns, walked the Via dell'Amore trail outside Riomaggiore, walked up the stairs to Corniglia and ate lunch. Thank you!!

    Property exactly as advertised, better in person vs the photos. 1 bedroom is truly separate and has 2 single beds in bunk formation. 1 bedroom (full bed) is in a corner area of the apartment on a platform with a curtain that closes it off from the rest of the apartment for privacy. Not entirely private but sufficient and a nice use of the space. Great location. Great apartment. Fun art. Very clean. Couch is a bit old/worn but does the job. It was very warm when we were there, but they had a couple tower fans, a bit dusty, a bit weak, but helpful. Host provided wonderful communication and details well in advance of arrival. Entry was seamless. We used the advice to park in La Spezia directly at train station vs. driving to Vernazza and the very limited parking options which still require a shuttle/limited hours, etc.. Train to Vernazza is 10 minutes and very easy. Parking is expensive (we paid approx. 40€/day, covered garage, protected) and train was approx. 10€ per trip each direction. Pick your battle. The expense was worth the convivence for us after seeing the options and trying less expensive options. 100% recommend the hike from Vernazza to Monterosso. Left by 8am, arrived in 1.5-2 hours with stops. Trail was BUSY by the end. Go early! Avoid the other hikers on the narrow trail. Spent the day at the beach in Monterosso (€90 for 3 chairs and 1 umbrella), easy 5' train ride back to Vernazza (also €10). Would book again! Thank you!

    Really did not choose well my stay in Vernazza. This location did not have air conditioning just a few small fans that did not do much. Slept on the mattress on the floor in the living room with a fan in my face. Could not open the windows for the breeze because of the noise that goes until 11h30 p.m. do not recommend this place for the summer month if they do not install air conditioning.

    If you want to be in the heart of Vernazza, this is the place. Live music and the hustle & bustle right out your window including amazing views. You are definitely paying for location- amenities are lacking though- bare minimum (no eating utensils) & bring your own beach towel if you are wanting to go down to the water.
