Camere La Torre

We were welcomed to the accommodation and shown to our room. This room had a private terrace with an amazing, full view of the ocean and town. The room was equipped with the essentials, and a fridge, and was clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend staying here.

My husband and I recently spent two nights at Camere La Torre in Vernazza and had a wonderful time. We were greeted by a very friendly and kind young man, Andre. He and his extended family own the building and run the restaurant a short distance up the stairs (plenty of stairs in Vernazza!) from the rooms. Andre walked us up (carrying my bag) and made sure we had everything we needed. We were awestruck by the beauty of being up so high above the Mediterranean Sea. We slept with the door open to the terrace so we could hear the surf crashing below. Bliss! The apartment was clean and organized, meeting our needs just fine. We would go back in a heartbeat....love Camere la Torre!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Rustico Piccolo at Camere La Torre. We're balcony/sunset/and trail people, and this particular location maximizes on a huge private balcony/terrace that has some of the greatest views over all of Vernazza and almost instantaneous access onto the trailhead to Corneglia. The room itself was quite compact but tidy. Did have a minifridge and a standing dresser in the room, along with the bed - and that took up about 90% of the available space. Clean and tidy, but dated- could use newer bedding, fixed screens on the windows and a mirror. It is a hike to the room, and as the key called it "Rustico"-- but if you go for the patio, the views and the sunset (and the hiking), it most certainly is worth it. But if you're not all about those things and willing to sweat a little to get there, then you won't enjoy it to the fullest.

This room is very basic with no air conditioning and the tiny bathroom downstairs. However, we enjoyed the outstanding views of the sea and the village of Vernazza. We left the door open to take advantage of the cool sea breezes and to hear the waves. The outstanding view comes with a price: you must walk a good distance up hill to reach it. Not a good room for anyone not in good physical shape.

Okay yes the room is small but if you have ever rented an apartment in New York City this is about the size of your bedroom. I have lived in a tenement apartment on the 5th floor for over 38 years. So this was like home with a better view. Arrive by train and bring just a backpack. This is a town clinging to the side of a hill. If you don't want to deal with steps and winding staircases stay in a room down on the Main Street. The views are spectacular and worth every penny. The owners could not have been nicer and basically they leave you alone. More like an airb&b than an hotel and that was just fine with us. Also you should bring cash as no one in town took any credit cards from paying for the room to dinner and even many of the stores. Vernazza is gorgeous and this room allowed us to be reminded of its beauty over and over again. If you are up for an adventure and don't care about hotel amenities this is the place to stay.

This isn't a hotel. It's a shed that has been converted into a "bedroom". The room only is two feet wider and six inches longer than the bed and fills with heat that can't escape. There is no hot water and the mosquitoes comes in through the old windows that are missing screens. And to top it off, the sheets were stained with blood.

We had the highest room in Vernazza, so it's many, many steps up, but the view is spectacular. This suite that sleeps 4 has two rooms and a large private terrace with 4 lounge chairs and an unsurpassed view. There are no hotels in Vernazza - just rooms that families rent out, but these rooms were clean, comfortable, relatively spacious. No air conditioning, but the fans kept things cool during an unusual hot spell. Large refrigerator & sink, small but modern bathroom, ample storage space inside and clothes drying rack outside, tight kitchen table & chairs, spiral interior staircase connecting the two rooms. Host Andrea was extremely nice (met us and helped carry bags then served us lunch at restaurant). The restaurant run by the same owners was another two flights higher up on the trail to Corniglia and had an even more spectacular view, and the drinks & food (e.g., steamed mussels & pesto lasagna) were great.

We stayed here for two nights in June 2015. We were to stay at house number 64. We got there but the host was upstairs "2 minutes" if we wanted to stop at his bar to see him. He did leave a number to call him but we decided to go to his bar anyway. 2 minutes up the stairs is very different for a fit young Italian who does it everyday and North Americans who do not. took us at least ten to fifteen minutes. Sat at the rather unfriendly bar until we asked for our host. He was very lovely. Takes cash only for the room rate, fyi. Our room was another four flights of stairs up. 260 stairs in total from the bottom. The terrace was amazing. View of the entire city and start of the hiking trail. The room was very small, cold water (understandably, it is on a mountain) only, but you aren't there for the room. Do not bring anything other than a backpack. Check your luggage at Le Spezia station. Second night we had to change rooms, it was a bit nicer, more modern but the terrace was not as private. Beautiful view, just be ready for 260 stairs! And to pay in cash! Bring your supplies with you as you do not want to climb those stairs many times!

The balcony we had was used as owners laundry for the rented rooms so that was part of your view. Room had double bed and the head of bed was against wall the foot of bed had 8" between bed and wall. Side of bed was pushed against wall the other side had less than 3' to wall and door with mini fridge using that space also. They gave us a key to an outside storage unit to put our luggage in! Ants in restroom, dirty cups, restroom was 4x8', the climb to the room was expected but tough uneven steps. No ac but a nasty small fan was in the room. If you leave the window open anyone can look in bc it was just a screen if open. Great view but not worth it.

Out of all of the places that we stayed at during our 2 month trip to Europe, this was hands-down our favorite place. The location was incredible. The view from the balcony is probably the best view of Vernazza in the whole town. I hesitate to rate it this way because we just want this place all to ourselves. The family that rents it out is super nice. They only take cash, but they also operate a restaurant above the room with probably the best restaurant view in all of Vernazza. The room is very very small, but it'll be worth it when you see the view.
