Wonderful stay, wonderful host!
4.9
We had a great time at the Elegant Apartment. Both Antonella and Emiliana (host) were very courteous to deal with and the views from the apartment are stunning. Corniglia is also the quietest of the Cinque Terre so the nights were peaceful and quite enjoyable. The apartment is located only 10 minutes away from the train station and has everything you need to make your stay enjoyable and unforgettable. The non-air conditioning was not a factor as there is enough of a cross breeze if you open all the windows and there is no dishwasher. Other than that, this place is a perfect vacation getaway for its price point Highly recommended.

We were looking forward to this stay based on the photos of the view but it honestly surpassed even those high expectations. The place was spotless and well decorated. The view…I could sit on that balcony forever. Communication with hostess was great. Ms Antonella met us at La Posada and showed us the place. She does not speak English and we don’t speak Italian but she was kind and patient and we managed well. We loved Corniglia as a staging ground for exploring Cinque Terra. Central and quiet. The 382 steps made us feel like we earned all the gelato and pasta. Overall wonderful apartment and memories.

Great property with excellent views. The location was perfect, as it was very peaceful and quiet, with a very short walk to the main village. Everything was as indicated on the listing, nothing else was needed for a comfortable stay. Emiliana, the host, was easy to work with and the check-in process was simple. I would definitely stay at this property again!

Relaxing and perfect!!

Perfect!!!
I wanted to feel like I lived there and experience Cinque Terre and Corniglia as a local. What could be better than walking back to my own place after dinner or after a day out exploring! It was clean, comfortable, beautifully appointed. The VIEW!!!! The balcony! It was quiet and a wonderful place to retreat from the crowds. Corniglia is quieter than the other villages and that's exactly what I needed after spending time in Monterosso al Mare. Would definitely stay again.

This apartment has all you need to enjoy your stay in Cinque Terra located in the center town of Corniglia. Absolutely beautiful view. The kitchen handy for morning coffee and a light dinner a few nights. It was clean and bright and very comfortable. Totally recommend this rental.
4.9
Absolutely loved our stay here. Perfect location. A short walk to the town and train station, but just far enough to be away from the crowds and enjoy the sounds of nature with a gorgeous view. Photos do not do it justice! Very friendly host and accommodations provided were everything we needed. Wouldn't hesitate to return!
4.9
Highly recommended & give Five stars
4.9
Very clean, amazing view and well equipped for our 5 day stay in Corniglia. The balcony was delightful to relax on after a day of walking and the location was perfect for strolling down into town.
Check-in process could bave been smoother with Antonella but ultimately was an easy process.
I would definitely recommend and would stay again!
4.9
This property exceeded our expectations. After hiking the trails, swimming, and exploring the towns, it was wonderful to recap our days with a glass of wine or two on the balcony high above sea before heading into town for dinner. The property host was very accommodating and we had everything we could have wished for.
4.9
We love the property! You could not find a better view. Location was great and close to everything in Corniglia. We will return.
4.9
The apartment was beautifully equipped with everything you could need. Very comfortable.
A word of caution if driving - the road is a very stressful drive but the end result is worth it. The town is small and not as tourist packed as the other villages. Train down the hill is an easy way to get to the other towns.
4.9
The apartment is nicely appointed and the views are amazing. We spent a lot of time on the balcony. The bed is comfortable and the appliances are nice. There's no AC but a great breeze. Only problem is you have to close the bedroom window at night because of train noise so it gets warm. Also had trouble finding it the first day. Otherwise perfect!
4.9
The view from here was out of this world and I will stay here again if we ever go back.
I gave only four stars on cleanliness due to the tiny ants that got up on the table and I gave only four stars on the check in process because Antonella was late. I was also not happy with the internet service as the router had to be reset on an hourly basis.
The day we arrived, there had been a torrential rain all morning long, which probably attributed to the ant issue and Antonella's tardiness. Also, we came by car and that drive is not for the faint of heart.
The other villages were easily accessible by train and we especially enjoyed the day we explored Riomaggiore and Manarola.
4.9
The location of this apartment was perfect. If you don’t mind the initial trek uphill from the train station or you can take the shuttle (only tricky with baggage when busy). The walk into town is short and sweet. The cookware could use some updating as there are some Teflon pans and utensils. Otherwise we had all we needed to make simple meals (we never ate out due to food allergies). Toaster was appreciated.
Wish someone would have warned us about sea urchins, my son stepped on one while getting out of the water. We wasted half a day trying to figure out what to do, getting treatment (pharmacy in Corniglia has a cream for it.). They are not toxic, and not a big deal, something I wish our apartment contact would have told us.
There are no screens on the windows, which would definitely change the feel of the apartment, and we were lucky to not have an issue with mosquitos. The nights were windy and the windows which open into the house do not secure to anything so they banged around a lot until we secured them with chairs. The washing machine was broken when we arrived (with 6 days of dirty laundry for a family of 4) and our host kindly offered to wash them elsewhere, but they came back in the same dirty bag and were washed with a strong smelling detergent. There was nowhere to hang dry them other than a tiny rack that held about 2 shirts and some socks. The view was incredible and everything else As close to perfect as possible, Will be back for sure.

We loved our stay! Beautiful views, lovely location and a fabulous place to stay! The hosts were excellent!

A wonderful apartment with the most spectacular view. Corniglia is the quietest and most unassuming of the Cinque Terre villages, and also for me the most appealing. Everyone is very friendly. Our hosts, Emiliana and Antonella, were both kind, helpful and welcoming. The apartment has everything you could need. It is close to walks towards both Vernazza and Manarola. You can catch the train back. There are two general stores on the town square selling fresh fruit and veg, cheese, deli meats, bread, milk, butter, wine, but no fresh meat or fish. Altogether, a most enjoyable stay.
4.9
The apartment is close by the train, which is helpful if you have a few bags (though still be prepared for lots of stairs & hills, pack light). It’s close to the Corniglia town center, restaurants and a pharmacy. The house was clean and had everything one would need from coffee to wifi, a hair dryer, shower amenities, etc. Above all the view is spectacular and the place was so safe. 10/10 would go again and highly recommend.

What a FANTASTIC jewel of a home to stay in!
The panoramic views were UNBELIEVABLE Emaline is a VERY responsive host !
She helped us with numerous travel information and help we needed !
I cannot WAIT to return to her Beautiful home!
And I have already shared it with all of my friends:)

Lovely apt with views out every window. Apt was comfortable & very well equipped. Its a short 5-10 minute walk to the main part of the tiny town.
You can walk down the hill to the train station. Having parking is a big plus. While Cinque Terre is a can be chaotic with all the people, it was always welcome to return to our slice of paradise with quiet. You only hear the birds and trains.
The owner was responsive and always helpful.

This was our 3rd place we stayed in Italy- the first 2 had a few short comings…not this one! From the most beautiful location to the amenities in the apartment to the shower (really- it’s full size, a nice change from the mini showers we had before). Everything about the apartment was perfect! I cannot think of one thing we needed during our stay. And the parking is an added bonus!!

Excellent.

Ideal place to stay!! Well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed, plenty of towels, nice shower, close to downtown, etc. If I ever get the chance to go back, hope I can stay here!! Loved it!!!!

The apartment is clean, practically outfitted, and near enough to both transportation and to town. Everything we needed was there, and once we figured out how to use the stove we were all set. The bedroom is quite small, the kitchen and living area were nice-sized, but the balcony is a postage-stamp (albeit with a really great view).
If you know CT, you understand Corniglia is the one town that's not located directly on the coast, so you need to go 'up' to find a place to stay. I believe the description mentions the shuttle from the station up to town.... we took that exactly once during our 4 days there when we were taking the train daily. The apartment is 1/2 mile up the coast road (the other option being a 300+ step climb up a path), which we found preferable to waiting for the bus with a bunch of others and being jammed in for the short ride up. The apartment is also maybe 1/4 mile 'below' the town, so you need to do a little walk up there as well to sample Corniglia's offerings. These are not negatives, just things you need to be aware of while planning.
The 'check in' worked well- we were messaged to meet a woman at one of the shuttle stops to show us around. Unfortunately, she didn't speak any English so we probably didn't get as thorough an introduction to the town and accommodations as usual.
The weather wasn't great but we were able to get in a couple good hikes and explore all 5 towns. Our nice apartment in Corniglia made it a fine few days in Cinque Terre.

I was looking for a place that would be quiet, comfortable and beautiful. This place totally fit the bill. There was an amazing view out of every window and it was incredibly serene and peaceful. There was nothing I would change and I would definitely go back again. Thank you for a lovely stay.

This was my second time to stay here and it was perfect!! We wish we could come back again and again!!

This apartment was absolute perfection for my husband and I. The space is bright, clean and well appointed with everything you could possibly need for a visit to Cinque Terre from umbrellas to charging adapters! The bed was comfortable and the view is amazing. We loved staying in Corniglia as it is the quietest of the towns and we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves after the other tourists left for the day.
There is an amazing restaurant, La Posada, one block up the lane and the food and service is amazing, so good, we ate there twice for dinner.
Emiliana was very easy to communicate with.
I highly recommend you do yourself a favour and stay here, you will not regret it!
4.9
Everything about this property was excellent. Location, cleanliness, amenities, friendly staff, and just overall awesome! It was a pleasure to stay there.
4.9
A wonderful appartement. Very well equipped, also in case you like to cook. The view is breathtaking.
4.9
Very nicely appointed, modern apartment with a sweeping view down the CQ coastline to Manarola. Owner Emiliana was quite responsive. 3 minute walk to Corniglia center. Lots of solid restaurants and gelaterias. The village gets its fair share of day tripper visitors from about 11 to 6, but in late September was not crowded early or late.
4.9
This apartment is superb! Spacious and well equipped and stunnning views from every side. Many Aperols consumed on the small terrace overlooking the sea with Manarola nestling on the coastline in the distance- sheer bliss! Emiliana was a very helpful host and check in was seamless.
4.9
The flat is very clean and well equipped and Emiliana has been available when needed and caring during our stay. The view over the sea is amazing and this is just out of the village so nicely located in a calm area. Also very close to the train station which is very convenient. Though the price is high, I would recommend!

Most beautiful view
Excellent location, Amazing views of the sea and Manarolla in the distance. Easy walking distance to Town of Corniglia.

Amazing location
We loved staying in this picturesque spot overlooking the sea and Manarola on the edge of Corneglia! We loved the quaint and quiet town with delicious food! Some of the neighbors in the building were noisy, the train occasionally rumbles by until 11 pm and you need windows open due to no A/C but other than that it was perfect!
4.9
This was a very special place! We stayed 3 nights and hated to leave … Corniglia is a quiet, charming and convenient town in a centralized location for visiting the other 4 Cinque Terra towns. We just hopped the train and were there in 10-20 minutes. We had several good restaurants right there in our little village, all of which we walked to.
And the most special feature of this apartment is the unbelievable view off the balcony, dining and bedroom areas… with wonderful ocean breezes. And we looked straight out across the bay to the cliff-side town of Manarola… a picture-perfect view every minute of the day and night!
