L’EMPORIO ROOMS is a guest house in Manarola, in the heart of the Cinque Terre, located just 200 metres from the railway station and 1.3 km from Riomaggiore Beach. The property, entirely non-smoking, is located on the first floor of a building on Via Renato Birolli and offers four types of accommodation designed for both couples and families.
The three double rooms – Deluxe, Superior and Standard – share air conditioning, private bathroom with bidet, coffee machine and city view, differing mainly in size, from 17 to 20 m². For those travelling in a group or with children, the spacious 65 m² apartment instead offers a separate living area, a full kitchen, balcony and terrace, for up to four people.
Manarola, among the most photographed villages in Liguria, offers views of the sea and panoramic trails reachable on foot in just a few minutes. WiFi is free throughout the property, while the village’s restaurants and gelaterias are just steps from the entrance.
The rooms at L’EMPORIO ROOMS are divided into three double room types – Deluxe, Superior and Standard – designed for two people, and a larger apartment suited to families or small groups. All double rooms are air-conditioned and feature a private bathroom with bidet and hairdryer, tea and coffee making facilities, wardrobe, flat-screen TV with streaming services and a city view, with an independent entrance that ensures guests’ privacy.
The main difference between the three rooms lies in the size, ranging from 17 m² for the Standard to 20 m² for the Deluxe, and in the type of double bed. The 65 m² apartment, the most spacious option, adds a full kitchen with oven and hob, a balcony, a terrace and a second living area with a sofa bed, accommodating up to four people.
The largest of L’EMPORIO ROOMS’ double rooms, with 20 m² of space and an extra-large double bed. The private bathroom with shower and bidet, the air conditioning and the city view are complemented by an independent entrance that makes this room the most spacious choice for those seeking extra comfort compared to the Superior and Standard.
With its 18 m², the Superior sits between the Deluxe and the Standard, keeping the same extra-large double bed as the Deluxe but in a more compact space. Independent entrance, private bathroom with bidet and city view complete a room designed for those who want comfort without the larger footprint.
The most compact of the three double rooms, with 17 m² and a large double bed instead of the extra-large bed found in the other two room types. Private bathroom with bidet, air conditioning and city view remain unchanged, making it the most essential option for those who don’t need extra space.
The property’s only multi-room option, with 65 m² split between a separate bedroom, a living room with a sofa bed and a full kitchen with oven, hob and washing machine. A balcony and private terrace set it clearly apart from the double rooms, as does its capacity to accommodate up to four people.

The location is convenient for those travelling without a car: Manarola railway station is just 200 metres away, with frequent connections to Riomaggiore, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso al Mare along the line that runs through the Cinque Terre.
