Fivestay Casa Gabriella

We loved the balcony view. The master bedroom is very spacious with room to hang clothes and spread out. The shower is smaller but was just fine! The ceiling in the kitchen is sloped and we all kept bumping our heads, I am the shortest at 5'8". If you are going to cook, be short. :) There were plenty of linens and the kitchen was well equipped. The windows do a great job of keeping out street noise. Beds were good, (only 1 pillow per person fyi) There is a restaurant on the steps up to the flat with very friendly owners and waitstaff and very good food. We enjoyed popping down to the main street for take away pastries and sandwiches for breakfast. The town is lovely in the evening after the day crowd has left. The pizza at Ananasso Bar at the harbor was our favorite of all the places we tried in Italy and we purposely sought out the "best" in each city.

We were very busy and did not ask the hosts, but we wished we had an umbrella for the morning sun on the balcony. We would have sat outside but the sun was too strong. I also wished there were some throw blankets for the living room/balcony at night when it cooled down. The amazing balcony comes at a price of walking the stairs to it, but if you are staying in Cinque Terre you should expect it.

beautiful views and great location.

lots of steps.

Great location, beautiful views.

Slanted low kitchen ceiling. Lots of steps to get your bags to and from apartment.

The Fivestay Casa was perfect. The host meet us at the train station and walked us to the apartment which was nice. The apartment was clean and had plenty of room for my family of 4. The top floor view was amazing, we couldn't believe how beautiful the view was.

The views were stunning and the locations was perfect. It was remodeled and nicely kept up. The host was so nice and was quick and easy to communicate with. We visited all 5 towns in Cinque Terre and definitely feel we chose the best one. We loved the area.

It was at the top of 3 flights of stairs, and fairly steep stairs. I don't remember reading this as an alert, but I am glad we were all capable of handling the stairs, but hauling up our luggage was quite a feat. Thankfully we had our 21 year old son with us that could do it for us, or it would have been a problem. The third bedroom really isn't a bedroom, it is really small. The twin bed had no bedding or pillows on it, we had to scrounge them up. I am sure it was just a mistake by the housekeeper as everything else was in great shape for our stay.
