Great view of ocean. Loved the balcony and outdoor seating in the garden.

Sound of trains at night and early morning. Lack of a living room for everyone to sit in, but we had great weather so sat on the balcony or in garden.

Air conditioned!! That almost says it all for Cinque Terre in the summer for an American family. There are three large bedrooms, each with a large bed (two twins together and made as one), each with a full en-suite bathroom (sink, toilet, bidet, shower), and each with its own a/c unit with remote control. Very spacious and comfortable. Small kitchen has what you need: cooktop, fridge, coffee pot and some dishes! Located above train - actually not too much of a bother - a white noise app on your phone will do the trick to cover the few early morning trains. At least the trains don’t blow whistles! It’s located at the bottom of the Lardarina steps... if you don’t want to climb, the bus will take you up to the village from the train station! I didn’t meet Arianna, but I met her parents, and they were absolutely lovely and very helpful. Corniglia was our favorite village - I’m so glad we stayed here!
