Ca’ del Monica is a guest house in Manarola, in the heart of the Cinque Terre, about 200 metres from the village’s railway station and 1.9 km from Riomaggiore beach.
The property offers five types of accommodation, from double rooms to independent apartments with a kitchen, spread across several floors of a typical building in the village. Many units overlook private terraces with views of the sea or the hills sloping down to the coast, a distinctive feature that makes the property particularly suited to those seeking a romantic stay or a quiet base for exploring the Cinque Terre National Park, less than 1.5 km away.
Every room has air conditioning, a private bathroom with shower, a minibar and a coffee machine, while the reception is staffed 24 hours a day to give guests flexibility. Pets are not allowed and there is no free parking service, but the central location makes a car unnecessary for getting around the village’s alleys and restaurants, some just a few metres from the entrance.
The five room types at Ca’ del Monica cater to different needs, from couples looking for a compact room to families wanting more space in an independent apartment. The two Deluxe Double Rooms, both 20 sqm, share the same layout but differ in that one version has a balcony. The classic Double Room, slightly larger at 22 sqm, instead overlooks the mountains behind the village rather than the sea.
For those seeking more independence, the 29 sqm Apartment with Sea View offers a separate kitchen and living room, while the Loft, the largest option at 55 sqm, adds a dishwasher and washing machine for longer stays. All units come with air conditioning, a private bathroom with shower and free WiFi, with toiletries and bed linen provided by the property.
A 20 sqm double room with a private sea-view terrace, one of the property’s most sought-after units thanks to its direct outlook over the coast. It features air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with streaming services and a private bathroom with shower, plus a minibar and coffee machine for maximum independence.
Same size as the standard Deluxe, but with the addition of a balcony that allows guests to enjoy the sea view without needing to access the shared terrace. Air conditioning, a private bathroom with shower and a flat-screen TV complete the amenities of this room, designed for romantic stays.
The largest of the two-bed options, this 29 sqm apartment has an independent entrance, a bedroom separate from the living room, and a fully equipped kitchen with hob and oven for preparing meals independently. The sea-view terrace and soundproofed walls make it ideal for families or small groups.
Slightly larger than the two Deluxe rooms, this 22 sqm room is the only one overlooking the mountains surrounding Manarola instead of the sea, with a terrace dedicated to this alternative view. The room also features air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with shower.
The Loft is the guest house’s largest option, with 55 sqm split between a separate bedroom and a living area with a sofa bed. The kitchen, equipped with a dishwasher, and the washing machine make it suitable for longer stays, while the sea-view terrace and bathroom with shower and bidet complete the space.
Ca’ del Monica offers guests a 24-hour reception, convenient for those arriving in Manarola in the evening after a day of hiking along the Cinque Terre trails. The property also arranges tours and lessons on local culture, as well as providing information for snorkelling, scuba diving and canoe outings along the coast.
All the rooms are air-conditioned and soundproofed, with private or shared terraces offering glimpses of the sea or the surrounding mountains. Every unit has a fridge, a coffee machine and a complete bathroom set with hairdryer and complimentary products, while luggage storage is useful for those wanting to visit the village before or after official check-in.
Free WiFi is available throughout the property, as is heating during the colder months. It should be noted that the upper floors are accessible only by stairs, a detail worth considering for those travelling with heavy luggage.
Ca’ del Monica is located in the historic centre of Manarola, one of the five villages that make up the UNESCO World Heritage Cinque Terre National Park, perched on cliffs overlooking the Ligurian Sea. The property occupies a typical building among the village’s alleys, just steps from restaurants such as Fooderia and Aristide and from the Sorbetteria Gelateria 5 Terre, practically on the doorstep.
Manarola’s railway station is about 200 metres away, with direct connections to the other Cinque Terre villages and to La Spezia, home to the Amedeo Lia Museum and San Giorgio Castle, both about 7 km away. Riomaggiore beach can be reached in a few minutes on foot along the coastal path, 1.3 km away, while the nearest airport, Pisa Galileo Galilei, is 70 km away.
Those staying here can go trekking along the paths connecting the five villages, with views over the vineyard terraces typical of the area, or head into the water for snorkelling in the small rocky coves beneath the village. In summer the calm waters along this stretch of coast are also suitable for canoe outings, while in autumn and winter the less crowded paths offer a different perspective on Manarola’s colourful houses, without the heat and crowds of high season.
Reviews particularly praise the location, rated 9.8, and the staff, with a score of 9.7. Cleanliness and comfort also exceed 9.6, confirming a consistently well-regarded experience. Value for money remains the lowest-rated aspect, although still very positive.
