Incredibile views in Manarola
A charming home with incredible ocean views in Manarola, which we thought was the loveliest town of Cinque Terre. We were very well oriented by the owners friend, and received some excellent restaurant recommendations.

Cliffside Retreat
Lorella’s property overlooking the small harbor in Manarola is one of a kind. The 3 story home sits on a cliff overlooking the harbor below, with the bedrooms and kitchen/living room area split among the three levels. The views are something from a movie and the 3 bedrooms are spacious and easy to keep cool with the AC units in each. There is a washing machine for your laundry that you can hang to dry in the breeze from the ocean. The kitchen is equipped with all that you need to dine in should you want. The check process was super simple and take Lorella & Rita up on the offer for someone to transport your bags up to the house. I cannot thank Lorella enough for all her assistance with our booking (from a car service from Genoa to transport to Lucca when the trains went on strike) and allowing us to stay in her beautiful home. If you are looking for a relaxing retreat in a laid-back town then look no further. Thanks again Lorella, we hope to be back soon.

Incredible Views in Cinque Terra
This apartment with its garden covers 4 levels, each with a spectacular panoramic view of the Mediterranean coast and Cinque Terra. There are several stairs, including to get into the apartment. Some of the rooms have air conditioning and ceiling fans which was needed during a very hot stay. The host was very helpful on our arrival. We would return. Loved the views

Storybook location
Cinque Terre in general is a remarkable place. From the turquois ocean to the mountains to the colorful homes nestled into the mountain sides. Lorella's property couldn't have been in a better location to take it all in. Lorella was very accommodating and responsive to our needs.

Absolutely Stunning!!
We spent 5 amazing nights here in Manarola and we are already trying to plan a trip back. The home is absolutely perfect! The beds are comfortable, the views are spectacular. We chose to bring back dinner and wine to enjoy on the balcony because it's the best view on the island. Lorella is an outstanding host and goes through the house with great detail when you arrive. Which helps you know the house simply. She also has great recommendations on hikes, restaurants , the trains and the ferry. We hiked from Manarola to Corniglia one of the days and it was challenging but gorgeous. I HIGHLY recommend booking this home if you have the opportunity. We are still smiling thinking of our time spent here. LOVELY

Killer views
This is the house when you look up at the hills and I want to stay in that house! Everything in the house is comfortable and well provided. The location is excellent. Manarola is a great town to stay in out of the five. You will climb many hills and many stairs wherever you are in the Cinque. The small walkways with no cars are part of the charm and the experience. You will not be disappointed if you stay here.

The best view
This property has an incredible location. With it’s amazing views and the sound of the waves it is impossible to not relax here. Because of it’s fantastic location it does mean that there’s quite a big hill to get up to get to the house and lots of steps in the house, that would make it difficult for smaller children or those with accessibility issues. The air conditioning was a life saver in the summer sun. Definitely a lovely place to watch some beautiful sunsets with a glass of wine!

Belvedere 226 was everything promised. My friends and I spent a week in Manarola at Lorella's property overlooking the Ligurian Sea. The property was clean, comfortable and easily accommodated our group. The private decks provided stunning views of the sea and some of the most beautiful sunsets we'd ever seen. Our host was responsive when we had a question, though we didn't have many because she met us upon check-in to provide a thorough overview of the spaces. We explored each of the five villages during our stay and Manarola was a great home-base with train and ferry services to travel between towns.

What a fantastic Villa overlooking the Ligurian sea. Perfect settin for a wonderful stay in CT
The Villa was everything that was marketed on the Home Awwy site. Rita and Lorella were great hosts helping us out with local sightseeing matters and responding quickly to texts when we had problems starting the dishwasher and washing machine. The site of the Villa overlooking the Ligurian Sea in Manarola was perfect and the views Bellissimo. Yes there are steps but you know that when you are visiting the Cinque Terre towns. Could not have asked for a more perfect site for us to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Highly recommend the Villa to couples looking for a once in a life time experience watching the early morning scenes from the master bedroom overlooking the sea and having dinner and drinks while watching the sun set. Loved every aspect of the Villa.

The best place to stay to explore the Cinque Terre
The photos of this property do not do it justice. We pinched ourselves everyday of our holiday knowing we would be returning to Belvedere 226 to see the sunset. Manarola is a pretty place full of delightful restaurants and gelataria. So much to see and lots on ‘insider’ advice from Lorella, the owner of the property. We will be recommending this property to our family and friends, which suited our family of teenagers with plenty of space for everyone

We (my husband, brother, and our 2 moms) LOVED everything about this unique home. From the waves crashing at night, the 3 different balconies, the outdoor shower, the beautiful decor, and the absolute best views in Manarola... period. Lorella was fantastic and communicated quickly with anything we needed. The place is truly magical and we will be back!!! Thank you Lorella, your beautiful home was the highlight of our 2 weeks in Europe!

Great location.
Properties in Cinque Terre are usually small. This property was on the larger side. The view was just amazing. Improvements to the broken shower on the main bedroom level should be made. Lorella was easy to work with and helped with arranging a doctor visit. Would recommend without hesitation.

Best View in Manarola
Five of us shared Lorella's three level house for a week and we loved the superb views and the well equipped house. It is a charming old home and a perfect base to explore Cinque Terre. As an old village home, it has the usual issues with overloaded power supply, but Lorella warned us about that. The wifi is excellent and it is a peaceful retreat from the busy, touristy days in the Cinque Terre villages. The access to the house is of course up a steep street and not for those with dodgy hips or knees, however the reward is the unsurpassed view of the sea and coastline.
