We stayed in Christian’s home for three marvelous days in early October. The pictures posted are extremely accurate, but nothing can compare to being there and looking at the magnificent views from every room in the house. The house was spotless, with all the amenities you needed. The trek up the stairs are definitely not as bad as going all the way up to the top-with our suitcases-but it is a little bit of a trek. The house is situated perfectly about halfway up, which allowed the evenings to be nice and quiet-away from the center town crowds and gave a perfect amount of privacy. The host and his amazingly charming and loving parents were extremely helpful in giving recommendations for local restaurants, and also areas of Cinque Terre that were a little off the tourist path. We would visit again and would highly recommend!!

This place was our zen time in our itinerary. Halfway down a mountain hillside stairway, accessible to the train station and the town center on opposite ends, was a blissful retreat. The Cinque Terre trail was easily accessible in the town center, as well as small grocery stores, cafes, and gelato places. The house is full of windows and doors that bring breezes and views into the rooms. Comfortable and plentiful beds, sitting spaces, and amenities. A very well-equipped kitchen and an outdoor terrace encompassing the side of the house that looks out to the Sea invites lingering outdoor dining. Inside the gate, the walkway leading to the house is layered with pink lilies, succulent plants, and lemon trees, a rustic aesthetic that blends well with the vineyards on the southern side of the house. Plenty of electricity and hot water, fans, towels and linens. Only the gracious hospitality of Marco and daughter, Martina, rounded this beautiful experience to perfection.

The view is insane. Most windows and doors lead to a completely unobstructed view of the sea. It is paradise. You will need to walk up part of the long staircase to get to the entrance, but unlike almost anyone else in the Cinque Terre, you're away from crowds and have an extraordinary view.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Perfect spot to unwind, relax and soak in the surroundings. Views were out of this world. Worth the price alone. Hosts met us on check in and were extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommended

Absolutely amazing location with incredible views! Even the pictures online don’t do the views justice. Would definitely recommend!

Marco’s place in Cinque Terre provides stunning views of the beautiful and rugged coast. Being located in the middle of the 5 villages; the location afforded us easy access to all the towns. It was a perfect location for our family of six. We loved our stay and dream of being back again!

Absolutely beautiful accommodations in Corniglia. So glad we booked and worth any of the bit of check in hassle. The stairs weren’t a big deal for us, just had a bit of trouble navigating to the location but owners were in contact so that helped us get there successfully! The views are unbelievable and all the conveniences are there! Best rental in Cinque Terre! Fresh lemons and great kitchen and only a few flights of stairs down from restaurants/ city center.

We arrived at the villa after battling the Liberation Day holiday hoards. From the moment we entered the front gate and strolled down the garden path past the lemon trees and stacked stone terraced vineyard the stress of travel vanished. That's the magic of this homey villa by the sea. We loved the personal touches - the bouquet of white Shasta daisies from the back garden. - the bowl of fresh picked lemons - the starfish collection. The comfy beds, well-equipped kitchen and large bathroom checked the boxes, but the spaceous terrace stole the show. The Ligurian Sea and the timeless vineyards make the hundred of steps worth it all.

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!
