Cà de Angelo

Clean simple place close to the water and in center or town

Very nice apt with great location. We blindly went to Manarola from all the 5 cities and we were not dissapointed. Paolo was a great host and very helpful and quick to answer. We visited all the 5terre except Corniglia because we had enough of walking and when we got off the train and saw the cliff high stairs we said no thanks and got back in the train. I reccomend Manarola out of the 5 because you can easily go on foot to Riomaggiore and back ( recently opened lover's walk - not hiking thank God, around 10eur/person access, totally worth it - they say it's 1km but it's not, much shorter, lovely) and is not so crammed somehow; for the rest by train - we arrived in 5terre when a cruise ship was stopped in La Spezia and the trains were packed full - and very very late, 10-20 or even 30mins late, that's no problem if you move around in 5terre but if you need to catch a flight in Milan or Bologna bear this in mind - we missed a connection in Genoa but all was well in the end.

The room was clean and fresh with great light from the windows and a wonderful view over Manarola. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was compact, but well laid out. There was a small fridge, a microwave, a coffee machine and a few basic kitchen dishes, which was all we needed. The host was great with communication and planned to meet us on arrival, but as our main train was delayed over two hours, our arrival was then much later than we had planned.

We found the 55 steps from the road to the front door of the building a challenge, but this is Cinque Terre, where nothing is flat, so we got used to it. We would have liked to see even a small TV in the room, to relax and recover in front of after long days of exploring and walking and hiking, but it was not on the list of facilities provided, so we can’t really say it was a surprise.

Location

The bed wasn’t very comfortable

The location was great. So close to everything!

Read the description of the property and details on how to get there closely. There is a climb of 55 steps to the property and they are steep with not a lot of railing support

Location, walking distance from train, comfortable for a short stay

Noise from residents above, shower floor very slippery
