La Ripa Camere Vernazza

Location and view! To hear the sound of the waves crashing beneath you was amazing….

Nothing not to like.

Vista mozzafiato un sogno

Beautiful apartment right above the sea - fall asleep to the sound of the waves lapping against the shore. Good kitchen with a washing machine - the latter proved very useful, and clothes dried very quickly on the outside line in the sea breeze. Comfortable couches and bed (probably queen size) - and nice views. Very close to the station and all the shops. Vernazza is a lovely town and you can access walking tracks to Monterosso and Corniglia. The town is busy with tourists during the day but most leave by late afternoon. Lots of good places to eat and you can get a discount off food from restaurants owned by the host.

Vernazza is full of stairs. We counted 50 stairs from the main road to our building entrance, another 10 to our front door, and the apartment is split level so there were more steep stairs within that we had to drag our bags up. It would have been good to have someone meet us to take us from the station to the apartment and help with luggage. Our host was supposed to meet us but was delayed and sent instructions. For a young fit couple, probably not an issue, but older people will need assistance or go for a single floor apartment. The light-switch in the staircase from the apartment to the building entrance wasn’t working so we had to use our phone torch to navigate down the steep stairs. An easy fix and we let our host know about it.

Excellent location and amazing views

This property is not for you if you have any mobility issues. We did not, but it has steps up to the bathroom and even into shower.

The view from the balcony was very pretty.

Difficult to set shower valves and water temperature. No markings on the handles, so trial and error until we got it right. Not a big deal though

The views of the rugged ocean beneath us was incredible!

It was very very steep with lots of narrow stairs which made it difficult with suitcase but the reward with those views was worth it

Everything! The location, the view, beautiful apartment that had everything you could need.
