La Nave

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.

Room types

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.

Location & what to see

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.

Vernazza Beach — the village beach, sand and rocks just steps from the centre 150 m
Vernazza Train Station — quickly connects to the other villages of the Cinque Terre 30 m
Cinque Terre National Park — starting point for the scenic trails along the coast 30 m
Trattoria da Sandro — traditional Ligurian cuisine just steps from the accommodation 50 m
Corniglia Beach — another characteristic beach reachable by train or on foot 2.3 km
Monterosso Old Town Beach — wider beach in the nearby village of Monterosso al Mare 2.5 km
