Location & what to see

Le Stanze del Barbara is located in the heart of Vernazza, one of the most photographed villages of the Cinque Terre, perched between the hills and the Ligurian Sea. The property occupies a building in the historic centre, just metres from the alleys leading down to the small harbour, in a pedestrian area lively with bars, restaurants and local shops. Vernazza’s beach is about 100 metres away, while the village’s train station is only 50 metres away, very convenient for getting around the coast without a car.

From the centre of Vernazza, it takes just a few minutes by train to reach Monterosso al Mare, about 3 km away, and Corniglia, with its beach 2.3 km away. La Spezia Centrale, the area’s main railway hub, is about 25 km away, while Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport is 107 km away, the most practical option for those arriving by air. In the immediate surroundings there are several places to eat, such as Lunch Box and Trattoria Incadase da Piva, both just steps from the property’s entrance.

Vernazza is a good base for those who want to walk along the trails of the Cinque Terre National Park, which begins about 100 metres from the property and connects the village to Monterosso, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore with panoramic routes over the sea. In summer, the area is well suited to swimming and boat trips along the coast, while in spring and autumn the trails among the vineyard terraces offer a quieter atmosphere, ideal for those seeking less crowded walks and views over the Ligurian coast.
