  Beautifully Renovated Rooms with Spectacular Sea Views

  26 Apr 2026

  Beautifully renovated rooms in the heart of Manarola, where great attention has been paid to blending old charm with modern details. The bed is very comfortable, and the bathroom—although small—is smartly designed, with enough space to store cosmetics and towels. If you book a sea‑view room, the view is absolutely stunning. Nothing to improve overall—just be aware of the stairs when traveling with a suitcase, which is typical for all historical houses in the village.

  Spacious room and modern bathroom

  30 Dec 2021

  We booked on hotels.com. The room is very spacious, with a comfortable double bed. There is a sofa, fold away table, mini fridge, space for coats and bags, and a modern bathroom. The bathroom is big by European standards, you don’t feel cramped. It’s built into the rock which means there are some interesting and attractive chunks of rock above the toilet and in the shower, I found them very cool. The TV only has Italian channels but that was ok for us. Giovanni speaks excellent English and is reachable via WhatsApp. You should know that you need to park at the entrance of the village, then walk down the hill. Bring a roller case or a LIGHT bag. I regret packing so much, it was a struggle getting back up the hill.

  Great location!

  15 Jul 2021

  Giovanni Rooms Manarola (GRM) are perfect for your stay in the little village of Manarola.We drove to Manarola (from direction Genoa) and chose GRM as it was close to the top of the village where there is parking as Manarola is pedestrian.Good communication from Giovanni – quick, accurate and helpful. As a general observation it is a good set-up (location/keys/access/handover etc.)We walked from the carpark to the bell-tower, which was >5 mins (downhill) – met Giovanni, were shown to our apartment which is down a little side street. Giovanni kindly helped with luggage as the stairs are fairly steep from the ground floor. We had booked a city view room but Giovanni offered an upgrade to sea view for a small fee, which we accepted – I was glad we did as the view is like a painting [pic 1]!The amenities are all that one requires (I did not see an iron but I guess that can be facilitated on request). Room was lovely and clean, nice linen and décor – the young lady servicing the rooms did a great job, towel decoration was a nice touch <3 [pic 2]Manarola is very small so everything is within a short distance. Yes you have to walk uphill from the sea back to the apartment but that is to be expected!Overall I would recommend and would rebook should I return :)Manarola itself is a great place for hiking, beautiful sea-views, swimming and eating. There are a nice array of little boutiques and gift shops.

  Beautiful rooms with a view!

  19 Aug 2020

  Lovely apartment with a beautiful view of the sea. Really clean and spacious bedroom that was comfortable to chill in. Giovanni was really nice and even rescued my partner when he was forced to park 3km from Manarola due to the lack of available parking nearby.If you are staying Manarola by car I would arrive early in the morning or late in the evening and be prepared for a little hike with your bags (or using the towns luggage delivery service, Giovanni can send you details). Only thing to improve would be the WiFi which was a little weak. But honestly a perfect place to stay :)

  Very Comfortable

  25 Jul 2019

  This has a great location, close to the town square, but it is an effort with luggage. Once you are there the accommodation is worth it.The rooms are modern, very clean and comfortable. The air conditioning was excellent in the heat of summer. It is in a quiet area of town away from the major tourist area.Giovanni's instructions to find the accommodation were very easy to follow.This was a very enjoyable stay in a lovely little village with plenty of restaurant options.
