Casa Carla Beautiful private home with large terrace and gated entrance.

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.

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.

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Carla. The Two floor apartment had everything we needed. There were 5 of us and if was great to have the privacy of two floors and two bathrooms! There was a small washer for laundry and we hung the clothes out to dry on the lovely terrace. There was early morning street noise and as others have mentioned you can hear the train. It wasn’t an issue for us. It was nice to have A/C too. Great location! Just up a few sets of stairs on beautiful back alley.

Wonderful apartment. Very hard to climb to if you have heavy bags. Nice kitchen. Great patio. Plenty of space. Enjoyed it thoroughly.

Stayed in Casa Carla 3 nights and enjoyed being in I believe one of the prettiest villages in Cinque Terra. Enjoyed drinks on the terrace each evening and staying in the heart of town however if you are not good with stairs this is not the place for you. Paolo was attentive with a few issues we had. Co - op (food store) literally downstairs for supplies. Memorable holiday with friends.

We loved our stay at Casa Carla! Fantastic apartment with great village and people watching views. Paulo and Julia were wonderful as well! We hope to come back to visit again!

Lots of stairs but worth it

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.

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.

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.

Great place & Great Location.Communication with Host Excellent

Nice property with a beautiful terrace. Comfortable. Yes, there are stairs, but that is part of living and staying in Vernazza. It was hot, there is air conditioning but for the living area. Also, I think an authentic part of staying in Vernazza.

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.

First; full disclosure, we are from the United States and our expectations likely differ from others. The listing said air conditioned and that has a certain expectation for us. What it offered was one mobile A/C unit that was in the living room. The 3 bedrooms are not air conditioned. The hose from the mobile a/c unit was going out of a window and the hose was torn where it meets the unit so hot air was basically blowing out the back and cool air out the front. The gate to the property locked, but the doors to the property could not be locked with the key... you could not get the key to turn all the way to lock and remove and the key got stuck in the mechanism a few times as we tried and we finally got it out. Not all the windows/doors close on the unit, but we needed them open for air. The location was beautiful, but the walk up with luggage is no joke... about 75-80 steps so be prepared. Communicating with and reaching the host was difficult, they did not answer the phone listed, they gave the number to the restaurant they owned and said we needed to pick up key at the restaurant, but the restaurant was closed the day we arrived. They knew what day we arrived and assumedly knew the restaurant would be closed, but did not disclose that. The beds were hard (some people like that, we did not). There were 3 bedrooms and only 2 fans. The view was great, the terrace was great and having a washer (no dryer) was very nice. Convenient location even with steps. Lots of potential...

The home and view were fantastic. Paolo was great to work with and we would recommend to anyone. Great view of the town from the decks

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
