La Nave is a guest house in Vernazza, in the heart of the Cinque Terre, 300 metres from the village beach and a short walk from the local train station. The property offers a single apartment with a terrace, designed for families or small groups who want to experience the village independently, with shared common areas such as a kitchen and TV lounge.
The accommodation spans two floors, with a living area featuring a sofa bed and a double bedroom on the upper level, reached via a spiral staircase. Each room has a different outlook, ranging from mountain view, city view and village view, while the private terrace offers a distinctive glimpse of Vernazza’s rooftops.
Available services include free WiFi throughout the property, a shared kitchen, washing machine and independent access. Pets are allowed at no extra charge. The central location allows guests to reach the sea, the trails of the Cinque Terre National Park and the village’s main restaurants on foot, making La Nave a practical base for exploring this corner of Liguria without giving up family-friendly comforts.
La Nave’s offering centres on a spacious 75-square-metre apartment with a terrace, able to accommodate up to five people across the two bedrooms and the sofa bed in the living area. The two-floor layout, with the main double bedroom reached via a spiral staircase, creates a clear separation between the sleeping and living areas, making the accommodation suitable for large families or groups of friends on holiday.
Each room has a private bathroom, its own kitchen for preparing meals independently, and different outlooks alternating between mountain view, city view and views over the village of Vernazza. The private terrace is the apartment’s real highlight, an outdoor corner to enjoy the view over the Ligurian rooftops before or after excursions along the coast.
The only apartment available at La Nave spans two floors for a total of 75 square metres, the largest and most complete accommodation type in the property. On the upper floor, reached via a spiral staircase, is the main double bedroom with mountain view and a bathtub in the bathroom; on the lower floor is a second sleeping area with a double bed and a living area with a sofa bed overlooking the private terrace, from which guests can enjoy a view over the village and rooftops of Vernazza. The private kitchen allows guests to dine independently after a day exploring the Cinque Terre trails.
La Nave focuses on a formula designed for those who want to experience Vernazza with the freedom of an apartment and the comforts of a small accommodation. The shared kitchen and the apartment’s own kitchen allow guests to manage meals independently, while the available washing machine makes longer stays easier. The common room with TV area offers an informal meeting point for guests.
Outside, there is no shortage of spaces dedicated to relaxation, such as the sun terrace, the balcony and outdoor furniture with an al fresco dining area, ideal for enjoying the Ligurian climate. The property is entirely non-smoking and offers private check-in and check-out, independent key access and heating in all rooms.
Pets are allowed at no extra charge, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. For those wanting to move between the villages of the Cinque Terre, an iron and self-service laundry facilities are also available.
La Nave is located in the historic centre of Vernazza, one of the most photographed villages of the Cinque Terre, perched on a promontory overlooking the Ligurian Sea. The area retains the typical look of a fishing village, with colourful houses packed along narrow alleys leading down to the small natural harbour, the beating heart of the village and an evening gathering spot with bars and trattorias.
The property is just 150 metres from Vernazza’s beach and about 30 metres from the train station, which connects in a few minutes to the other villages of the park such as Monterosso and Corniglia, the latter also reachable on foot along the famous Blue Trail. The Cinque Terre National Park practically starts right at the doorstep, while Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport is about 107 km away, a useful connection for those arriving from abroad.
In summer, Vernazza is an ideal base for trekking between the five villages, swimming at the small beaches and rocky coves, or climbing up to the Sanctuary of Reggio, just above the village. In the cooler months, the area offers a more authentic atmosphere, perfect for tasting pesto and sciacchetrà in the harbourside trattorias or visiting the Doria Castle, which overlooks the village with its panoramic tower. The nearby historic centre of Monterosso, about 3 km away, is also worth a visit for its churches and wider beaches.
