The apartment, located in an elegant and typical Ligurian building beginning '900, was the subject of a recent conservative rehabilitation work with quality materials and quality typical of the area.

The house of 60 square meters, consists of a double bedroom with sea view; a bathroom with a large shower and functional; large living area with sea view table for 6, sofa converts into a comfortable bed and satellite television; full kitchen with all necessary facilities.

Lovely Apartment with Fantastic View
It was hard to leave this lovely apartment with fantastic views. In fact, our favorite part of each day was coming home to enjoy time on the balcony overlooking the water. Convenient to the other towns and just a 5 minute walk into Corniglia. We will be back!

Great Location and View
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.

Even better than we imagined
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.

Lovely Time in Corniglia
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!

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.

Sweet apartment in Cinque Terra.
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.

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!

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!

Lovely flat; breathtaking views
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.

Gorgeous view
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.

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!

What a View
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.

Hilltop Ocean View in Mellow Corniglia
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.

Wonderful Experience
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.

Most beautiful spot in Corniglia
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.

Spectacular Views in a Good Location
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.
