The Vernazza Main Plaza - Rooms & Apartment

Great location. Clean. Easy access. Great view.

Small. Booked wrong night and still got charged to switch it.

Good location and clean room.

All LED lights in the room which makes us dizzy all the time. Too pricy with nearly no service at all.

Nothing. As a veteran traveller, this is the first time that I feel scammed by a tourist trap. I have myself to blame for not having done my research, and I hope this won’t happen to anyone more.

The room is a nightmare. You have to climb impossible flights of stairs (incredibly narrow and steep, dangerous for claustrophobic and torturing for anyone with luggage) YET end up in an underground dungeon with only some narrow overhead window seeing the feet of people walking on the street above (yes, like a sewer rat) and you literally hear every single sound made by everyone passing by that street at any hour of the day and night. This room is so suffocating that it provokes a sense of baffled impotence. I would like to think that I deserve this room if I’d paid a fraction of the price that I was charged; the truth, however, is that this so-called “superior double room” costs €160/night (cash-only discounted price, only if you agree to cancel the booking online and pay the owner directly and, presumably, cannot post your review as a result) or higher if you book via booking.com. I haven’t even mentioned that the “reception” is located in a random irrelevant building and looks like a damp and dark garage for doggy businesses, and that the lady who received us makes no effort to conceal her indifference and rudeness. Before the agreed check-out time on the last morning, someone just broke in the room while I was in bed. Of course, no one apologised. So mind your privacy and safety. By the way, “Vernazza Main Plaza” does not exist on google maps. Check tripadvisor for review or search by “Francamaria Rooms” as it is the real & original name of the property.

Great location in the center of the village, near the boats to all the villages of Cinque Terre. There are many restaurants around. Vernazza is at the end of a very beautiful winding road to a convenient parking for $20 a day and a quick shuttle to the village. Leave the car there and do everything else by boat or hike

The place has great scores. However, it must depends on which room you get. The room (#3) has basically no window besides a 2' x 3' opening that is 10 feet above the bed and opens to the floor of the dark street above (the house is built on a steep hill!). Basically no light gets in. The bathroom stands above the room with three very high steps... and the shower is even higher, three more high steps: you better not slip when coming out of the shower! This OK if you are desperate for a place to stay in Vernazza and are ready to pay a premium, but do not expect to spend any pleasant time in this dark room! When leaving the place, i saw another room that was similarly dark but a third room had two nice windows to the street: this must be the one that gets the 9.0 grade. Other than the disappointment of the mini-dark room, everything else went smoothly and the person who let us in remotely was very nice and helpful. Please say and show what the room is and what it lacks. Lies by omission are still lies

Location, fitout. The experience was great 👍

Trying to find the place!!. It was challenging!!. It beat google maps!!. And took us another 10-15min looking around trying to locate the place, not many streets, not many street signs. Streets names changing etc it was all challenging. But hey, it was worth the effort to stay.

It was in the center.

It was a cave. It smelled of fragrance.
