Fantastic, comfortable and beautiful place to stay.

We absolutely loved Cristina’s place. The rooms are so nicely decorated and were so clean, comfortable and welcoming. Cristina was a friendly and helpful host. Couldn’t fault anything.

TLC needed to make this place Great!

Location (once found), size of room, bedding, terrace, were all wonderful. Loved the terrace and sunset. Beds were comfy. WiFi worked great. The frig was small , but nice. This is a really nice unit, but it needs some minor attention and a pre-check to make sure all systems are working. I give the following shortfalls that need to be addressed, otherwise this unit would have gotten a better review, but I want to be honest.

I did not get access code to lock-box to open the apartment before arriving. I called several times over two hours and line was always busy. I had to ask three people where the apartment was located, because cell phone (even with 4 bars) would not run Google Maps. Luckily, I had left Booking.com app open to this apartment, which had a phone link and I was able to get the code from manager. Once inside I had to search for the WiFi information. I found it under one of the beds. Used the toilet and flushed, toilet would not stop, had to fiddle with it. Turned on air conditioner (all 3) and none of them worked (I own the same brand and model), had to leave windows open all night - listening to cats fight for a couple of hours.

Good

Nice location. The private rooftop had an amazing view of the hills and sea. Doing breakfast and drinks is definitely recommend on this rooftop. Bathroom was clean and up to date to modern standards

The property was hard to find. Address wil lead you to the center. A description of where to find the property would have been helpful. Contact with the owner was not always fast. Like waiting for a day and a half to get an answer for a simple question.

Amazing location, loved the terrace. Lovely room.

We got a little lost trying to find the room but we found the place after asking a local who provided us with directions. Some photos of the location and the stairs could be helpful for future people staying there.

Great spot to rest & reward ourselves with a beautiful view on the balcony after a big day hiking

The view was amazing from the balcony - very special to end a long day hiking. The room was clean & location to restaurants was perfect.

I would only suggest to provide a black out curtain on the bedroom window to provide better light cover from the big street light right outside the window. It was extremely bright in the room all night & we had a pretty bad sleep as a result - it was a shame as everything else about the room was comfortable!

We loved our visit to IL Timone and are already planning a return.

The rooms were lovely, and plenty of space for our group of four. The room felt like part of the vacation, not just a place to stay. We enjoyed the balcony, the view, and the comfort. The air conditioner and small fridge was an added benefit we enjoyed, but weren’t expecting.

There was absolutely nothing we did not like. The stairs were a challenge but were to be expected in Cinque Terre .

Very convenient and lovely room.

I appreciated early contact via WhatsApp by owner and able to check-in a bit early. Coffee/tea making items provided. Nice to have mini-frig and a/c during very hot weather. Bed linens lovely. Quiet location behind church.

Somewhat hard to find. Would have liked tv to work to watch Tour de France though this was a minor detail.

Unforgettable

the property had comfortable beds and a beautiful view. Cristina went above and beyond to be sure we had what we needed and took care of reservations and transportation. Plus she helped with a birthday celebration for our daughter.

The shuttle to the town was wonderful, but you wait for it and people behind you shove to get on board ahead of you. there is no organization. The drivers were great, but they should have an area to properly form a line.

A little hard to communicate if you lack whatsap, early check-out (1000), and bit pricey but not unreasonable.

Superb

The.appartment is lovely, really clean, very comfortable beds. We were à family of 3 and it was perfect for us. We communicated with our host by whatsapp and all of the instructions were very clear. She also booked for us à great restaurant in Corniglia and recommended a great place in Monterosso. The location is great, very central. We really enjoyed the village especially late at night and early morning without crowds.

Right next door to the apartment is a mini soccer space and people pound thr ball against the walls late into the night. So I would suggest bringing ear plugs or noise.cancelling headphones if you want to get to bed early. These will also be useful as the church bells from the church next door start at 7am, but that's part.of the deal if you want to enjoy an Italian village. In spite of the noise, I would stay here again!

Cristina, whom you rent from, is a great person and gave all necessary instructions and help when asked. She also gave me advice related to arrival hour (since initially I was going to arrive late), and some tips on open restaurants, since because of low season, everything was closed. She also answered fast and was always available. Room is super comfortable and clean, with everything you need for a stay. We had a nice balcony where we watched the sea and sun coming down.

It is a room rent, it is not an airbnb, but it would have been nice to have some plates/cutlery in the room to help with our breakfast! But this did not diminished in anyway the quality of our stay!

Excellent Apartment. Comfortable and modern. Amazing sea panorama!

Excellent apartment - spacious, bright, immaculately clean, superb little balcony with a view on the sea (room 1 - ask for it), tastefully decorated, well supplied. Really comfortable and (mostly) quiet. Our host Cristina was excellent with her communications, and very helpful. PLEASE - if you stay here, have dinner at La Laterna around the corner. Highly recommended food and hospitality. We enjoyed staying here very much. Credit to the owners.

Slightly difficult to find. Clearer instructions on their booking page would be helpful. So, IF YOU ARE GOING THERE: when you (presumably) step off the bus in the main piazza, turn left (westwards) up Via Fieschi (Corniglia’s “Main Street”) for about 100 metres. On your left there’s a tiny grey church and you’ll see La Lanterna to the right of it. walk past the right hand side of the church until you see the courtyard at the back of it. on your right there are two flights of steps. Go up both of them. At the top of the second flight, look to your right. There’s a green door. You’re there. Easy. ALSO - note that the courtyard at the rear of the church seems to be a popular hangout for the local teenagers. They may be noisy at night time, but you can prepare a strategy for that.

It is a region centrepoint and well worthwhile to visit

Beautifully located overlooking a great view over the Cinque Terre coast

1. Booked for 3 nights and host refused to change towels. 2. Being referred to the local cantina La Laterna just around the corner, this was a total disaster. The owners have been more worried on feeding themselves than the guests, thus a no-go. Then we found Cecio Ristorante and was 100% perfect food and lovely hosts.

Excellent clean and beautifully decorated room with a beautiful view.

Il Timone was such an excellent choice. It was exactly what we needed: a nice clean place to rest our tired bones from the stunning but strenuous hikes around Cinque Terre. Plus a balcony with a view. What more can you ask for?

I do understand that this is the natural trend of things, but it is always nice to be welcomed by a real person. I do need to add that the communication was perfect, and I have no complaint whatsoever. As the room was for 4 people, it would be also nice to have more cups and glasses for everybody. Otherwise everything perfect :)

Very good

Clean and quite large. Good location. Over all a good stay and I would recommend it.

A bit windy due to that the door on the top floor did not close fully. We had not understood that it was an air bnb so we were looking for a reception.

The owner harasses people via text messages

- it was in the middle of the city center - it was modern - the rooftop was amazing (only one of the rooms has one)

- only after our stay I read the negative comments about the owner harassing the people, and I can confirm that it’s true. She said (always via text) that we should leave the key in the room which we did. But then she started sending me so many messages claiming we didn’t. Very rude messages. And then all of a sudden she said she found it under the closet and that we placed it there on purpose to harass her and again sending very rude messages. I mean why would we place the key under the closet?? - it’s also true that it is very loud in that area, but that didn’t bother us too much - one of the rooms had no window, only the bathroom had a window

comfortable stay once a local gentleman helped us find it up the steps behind some nets behind the center piazza.

great view and a little balcony

lots and lots of steps. Poor directions, for example, “it is the green door” and all the doors are green.
