La Polena Camere Vernazza - Visconti Apartment

The apartment was centrally located and extremely comfortable. The decor was charming and very well done. The linens and bedding were of high quality.

To access the apartment on the 3rd floor you had to climb a very steep marble staircase.

The location was excellent , you are told there is only a glimpse of the sea , but what a glimpse ! Only a couple of minutes walk to the harbour or the train station. Rooms were cleaned every day which was a surprise - apartment was quaint

The stairs ! We were told we would have help with our bags when we arrived - only help Marco gave us was - here is the light switch - they are really narrow and really steep. Photo of the first flight attached An iron would have been nice - all other properties we have stayed in provided one , not essential

right around the corner from the main beach front square, restaurants and gelato places. No real view, but with that would come noice. Perfect blend of quiet vs proximity to everything.

Our train was delayed, thus our host (who I notified) was not waiting for us, My phone would not call him with the number he gave. A nervous few minutes. As the flood of arrivals comes in waves that cannot be missed by the small village, I was reasonably sure he would note the arrival and come get us as promised. He did. Things were fine. This being Cingo Terra there were steep stairs to the appt (would else would one expect?). He helped with bags, but the rest of time these old legs were on their own. We did fine. I am afraid we shorted him on room tax cash. PAY THIS ON ARRIVAL. Especially if you have an early AM departure as we did.
