Bed linen and towels are always included, along with an electric kettle for tea and coffee.

The two double rooms differ in that only one of them has a balcony, while both enjoy a view of the internal garden.

Location & what to see

Casa di Arianna alle Cinque Terre is located in the heart of Corniglia, the only one of the five villages that does not directly overlook the harbour but instead sits atop a promontory high above the sea, within the Cinque Terre National Park, just 300 metres from the property. The village’s traffic-free lanes lead within a few minutes to the belvedere and the vine-covered terraces that characterise the landscape.

Corniglia’s railway station is 350 metres away, offering a direct connection to the other Cinque Terre villages along the Genoa–La Spezia line; Manarola’s station is 2.1 km away. Corniglia’s beach is about 500 metres away, while Vernazza’s beach can be reached in around 3 km. In the immediate surroundings, within 250 metres, there are several restaurants such as Bistrò Margherita, Terra Rossa and Dau Tinola. La Spezia Centrale station is 26 km away, and Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport is 108 km away.

The Blue Trail connecting the villages is the main draw for guests staying here: in spring and summer months, it winds through terraced vineyards and coves, while in autumn and winter the area is suited to quieter walks and visits to La Spezia’s museums, such as the Amedeo Lia Museum about 28 km away. Corniglia Castle and the Church of San Pietro complete a visit to the village, while nearby Vernazza and Manarola are easily reached by train for a half-day excursion.

Reviews particularly praise cleanliness and comfort, both rated 9.6, and the staff with 9.5. The value for money is also highly appreciated (9.0). The location, while excellent for connections and views, receives the lowest score (8.7), perhaps due to the village’s hilly layout.
