Gemma Apartment with AC & Sea View Balcony

Summary:

A gem in the heart of Vernazza: from the balcony you can see the sea, the main square, the beach, the village rooftops, the bell tower of Santa Margherita and, off to the right, the Cinque Terre vineyards with Monterosso in the distance. 40 sqm, fourth floor, sleeps up to 5.



The Space:

One bedroom facing the caruggio: never in direct sun, so it stays naturally cool even in high summer, with a ceiling fan and no air conditioning. An open-plan loft with a double sofa bed and air conditioning that cools both the loft and the living area. The living area has a full kitchen, air conditioning and a single sofa bed, and opens onto the balcony with sea view. Bathroom with shower. American-style kitchen with dishwasher, Nespresso machine, washing machine by the entrance.



Guest Access:

Fourth floor, reached only by very steep stairs: not suitable for guests with limited mobility. The view, once you arrive, more than makes up for the climb.



The Neighborhood:

In the heart of Vernazza: beach, square, restaurants, bars and shops all within walking distance. The station is close by, handy for visiting Monterosso, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore without a car.



Getting Around:

The train station is a few minutes' walk. Public car park above the village for drivers (about 1,200 metres from the pedestrian area), shuttle and a short walk to our office (about 5 minutes). Advance booking recommended (roughly €20/day).



Other Things to Note:

Small and medium-sized dogs welcome for a non-refundable supplement, on a lead in communal areas including the stairs. Independently controlled heating.



We leave a few breakfast basics in the kitchen for your first morning: croissants, biscuits, jam, tea, coffee, portioned powdered milk and sugar, plus our award-winning extra virgin olive oil from a local producer whose mill and honey production can be visited on one of our experiences, salt and washing-up liquid, and washing machine/dishwasher pods where fitted. Bed and bath linen included with shower gel, conditioner, body wash and hand soap. Professional cleaning throughout. Concierge office in Vernazza open 9:30am–7:00pm from 1 March to 31 October; outside this period the office is closed, with presence available on request. We're always happy to welcome guests staying in any of the other villages too, whether for a quick hello or for advice on local experiences and activities.

Interaction with Guests:

Assisted check-in 3:00pm–7:00pm, late check-in 7:00pm–10:00pm, with a €50 supplement only if assisted check-in is requested, no check-in possible after 10:00pm: past this hour car parks close, night trains are rare and often delayed or cancelled, and the villages fall quiet with no one around who could really help anyway.
