The view is 10 star. 180 of the sea. You could stay in the appt and hang out the window, but Cinque Terre is about walking and exploring... still how fantastic to wake up to this, or see it in the eve twilight. It's amazing. The town is so cute and away from the tourist mayhem in August when we were there. Area is quiet and AC works well. The arrival, stairs and hike up/down to the place is crazy. Travel light. Our legs are now toned. We felt like we were on a treasure hunt finding the place the first time (we did it in the dark! it would be better in the day as suggested, but we had no choice and it is possible to do, just difficult). The photos shown in the listing are OK but do not do the view justice. The place is bright and clean with 3 windows in the bedroom and one each in the kitchen and bath. I had trouble understanding the bed situation/rooms when booking, so here is a description: it is 3 rooms... bathroom; kitchen/eating area room (with sleep futon that can fold out); bedroom with 2 double beds in a large room with great views. Beds are divided by a see-through bookcase. We did not use the kitchen sleep sofa/bed/futon for sleeping, because if it was unfolded the door would not be usable from the bedroom to the bathroom at night, and the kitchen area table would need to be severely shoved aside. The tiny bathroom/laundry room, also had a view. The shower is like a broom closet, but it is possible, even for my 6'3" hubby. A shower caddy or tiny shelf is needed for supplies, as you can't bend down if the shampoo drops. But it was all fine for our family of 4... 2 adults, 2 teen kids. Wifi works well. Due to a power outage, management came out right away to reset. I suggest a small microwave to be added to the kitchen, as currently there is none which I found odd. Management was very prompt with responses, etc. and checking in with us to make sure all was fine. Very pleased for the price.
