This was a great property, but the directions on how to get to the house were just terrible, and the communication from the host was not sufficient. It took us hours driving around the tiny road in Corniglia before we were able to find the house. In the end, we had to ask local residents!

Pros: This top floor of a building (NOT the advertized "villa") was ideal for its vineyard-enforced distance from people and their noise; great for its views of, and actually "feeling", the sea; and excellent accessibility to town, train, and trails for those capable of significant vertical hiking. Unlike places where we stayed in Tuscany and on the English coast, there were competent plumbing and cooking facilities here. Cons: Many small but significant amenities were missing. These included that the only coffee-making equipment was a single-cup cafeteria ("moka"); there was a box of Mellitta paper filters, but no cone (which is not for sale in Italian villages): we ended up having to get instant Nescafé. Unlike other places there was no "instruction" manual to explain activities such as recycling, and no email response to questions after the initial meeting and payment to the host's son. The latter made unfortunate comments, such as the kitchen being made for the "little lady". The first night that we returned, the gate (on a heavily-travelled staircase) was open and the lights in the lower building were on...a bit concerning after said in-person greeter had noted a recent break-in of our rented area. Much still feels like a recently-converted small home of a large family, judging by the decorations and four tiny beds in the second bedroom. We had to train to the next town to have laundry facilities.

Beautiful spot, would definitely stay here again! Excellent views, comfortable place.

To our delight, this property was even better than we anticipated! The views are stunning, - from almost every room there is a breathtaking view of the sea, and the lovely property vineyard. Property managers were so helpful to greet us and show us around, and the house was very well appointed! Yes, there are alot of steps to get there, but they were wide and manageable, and MAN- IS IT EVER WORTH IT! Will stay again in a heartbeat! In fact, we wish we were there right now! :)

Many many steep steps! Please consider this

Great location and view. Very quiet and peaceful. Only drawback was the amount of stairs you had to walk up and down to the villa, especially if you have large luggage. Otherwise, great place to stay.

Communicatie met de verhuurder was erg moeilijk. Reageerde niet op onze mail, appjes of telefoontjes. Verder moesten wij enkele minuten voor de poort wachten, terwijl de eigenaar op het terras zat

We loved our stay in Corniglia at this house. It was perfect for our family of 5. We had everything we needed at the house and couldn’t get enough of the amazing views. We would absolutely stay in Corniglia at this house again!
