レフィレア 歴史的海の見える塔、ヴェルナッツァ

Summary:
A historic tower in the heart of Vernazza on five levels, with a 360° roof terrace over the village and the sea. It is a vertical home: the only bathroom is on the ground floor and the bedrooms are two and three steep flights up. Ideal for a couple or a solo traveller; up to 4 guests only if the group is happy to sleep on different floors with no separate living room. Fans in every room, no air conditioning. 80 sqm.

The Space:
THE TOWER, FLOOR BY FLOOR
Ground floor: the only bathroom in the house (with shower) and a basic kitchenette with electric hob, microwave and Nespresso machine.
First floor: living area with table and one single sofa bed. If it is used for sleeping, the house no longer has a separate common room.
Second floor (about 30 steps up from the bathroom): double bedroom.
Third floor (about 15 more steps): panoramic studio with two single beds (can be joined as a double) and large windows over the sea.
Terrace: at the very top, via the internal staircase, with a 360° view over Vernazza and the Ligurian Sea.
The stairs, inside and outside, are steep, and you walk through the sleeping areas to reach the bathroom, including at night. Fans in every room, no air conditioning: the tower stays naturally cool thanks to the sea breeze. Wi-Fi and Smart TV.

WHO IT SUITS
Ideal for a couple or a solo traveller, who can use the living area as a lounge. For three or four guests it works only if the group is happy to sleep on different floors, with the bathroom on the ground floor and no separate living room: families with older teenagers or friends used to sharing. Not suitable for guests with reduced mobility, small children or elderly guests.

THE STORY
The tower was bought many years ago by a well-known Italian writer and translator, the man who brought Agatha Christie's novels to Italy, and turned into a creative retreat: it still keeps a literary atmosphere of silence, books and light on the sea. The terrace is the real jewel, perfect for a sunset aperitivo.

Guest Access:
Exclusive private entrance directly on Via Roma, with direct access to Vernazza's harbour. The home rises vertically over five floors connected by steep stairs, inside and outside: about 30 steps from the bathroom to the double bedroom and 15 more to the studio. We recommend travelling light.

The Neighborhood:
In the heart of Vernazza, the most photographed village in the Cinque Terre, with its little harbour, Castello Doria and a piazza that comes alive every evening. The tower faces directly onto Via Roma and the harbour, steps from restaurants, shops and the swimming spots.

Getting Around:
The train station is a few minutes' walk. If driving, there's a public car park above the village (about 1,200 metres from the pedestrian area), with a shuttle down to the start of the pedestrian zone and then a short walk to our office (about 5 minutes). Booking the car park in advance is recommended (roughly €20/day).

Other Things to Note:
Small and medium dogs (non-dangerous breeds) are welcome for a €70 supplement; on a lead in communal areas, not on beds or sofas.

Heating is switched off by Italian law from 1 April to 1 November. We are in a National Park: please switch off lights and appliances when you go out — every small gesture counts.

Complimentary welcome breakfast on your first day, with local extra virgin olive oil, salt, sugar and compostable Nespresso capsules. Professional cleaning and eco-friendly practices.

Concierge office in Vernazza open 9:30am–7:00pm from mid-March to early November.
