Good location, clean and met our needs.

Difficult access through damp decaying staircase. Just not as well appointed as all our other stays on this trip to Italy. Need to be more clear in advertising that there are so many steps to access apartment.

Location

Uncomfortable beds, no microwave, limited cooking supplies, & 2nd bathroom shower is too small for an adult

Great location, very quiet, two bathrooms and great to have air con.

Fans could be more effective in bedrooms.

Location

The rooms don’t have an AC. They are super hot and I was not able to sleep at night.

Tedea Apartment is well located in Vernazza, about half way between the train station and the harbor. It’s one floor above street level with a great view of the street and square below. There are wonderful restaurants nearby and small shops for basic groceries and wine. In the evening, after the day tourists have departed late afternoon, the neighborhood is charming. The locals are all very friendly and welcoming. The apartment is large with modern kitchen appliances (including washing machine!). There are two bedrooms but we used only one and kept our luggage in the other. There are also two updated bathrooms, which is quite convenient because would could both get ready for the day at the same time. Internet is quite adequate, but see other negatives below. We had more than enough space and loved the location in Vernazza. The rental office staff was very cheerful and helpful.

This wasn’t a problem for us, but there is a steep flight of stairs from the street level to the apartment level to carry your luggage. There is no television, but we were aware of this and brought a pocket projector and bluetooth speaker so that we could stream movies and news onto a white wall. The apartment (and building as far as we could see) has NO SMOKE DETECTORS so pack and bring your own. We brought this to the attention of the property manager and they said they did not want smoke detectors and have to deal with false alarms. (!!!) Considering the shoddy, exposed wiring for the light fixtures in the stairwell and hallway, we could never entirely relax. There is a second exit to a rear street on the same level as the apartment, in case you just happen to be awake if you smell smoke. The buildings in Vernazza are old and have not been Disney-fide. That’s part of the charm, but this was the first lodging we’ve stayed, in over 110 countries so far, that didn’t have even batter-powered smoke detectors. If you pack your own, it will only detect smoke inside the unit and will not alert you to a problem elsewhere in the building. Housekeeping is not included, and if you are on an extended stay and need a refresher, the rate for additional service on a daily seemed quite high. It might be cheaper for you to buy new towels than ask for a clean set. This is not a negative about Tedea Apartment, but be aware Vernazza is not easily accessible by motor vehicle. It’s strictly controlled. Forget bringing your own car. If you come by taxi or limo company, make sure that they have a license to deliver you to Vernazza’s small parking area in the village. Otherwise you will be walking more than 1k downhill when you arrive and then back up when you leave. (Allow at least one hour if you are walking uphill with wheeled luggage.

Only issue was that the AC could have been a bit stronger.

We loved the location. The furnishings were updated, clean & comfortable. We absolutely loved being in the central part of the town. Very close to the train station, which we loved after spending more than 24 hours awake as we traveled from the US to Vernazza.

The only thing I found that could have made our visit better would be to have a set of operating instructions in English for the washing machine. We spent over an hour trying to figure it out & we still couldn’t get it to work. Ironically the next morning we got it to work. We also never located the drying rack for the clothes (since there isn’t a clothes dryer).

great apartment that was spotless and comfortable. Vernazza is great home base and management office is right across the street. Detailed and professional check in.

only suggestion is to provide written directions in English ( & other languages) for the clothes washing machine.
