    This was a nice place for an overnight stay in the Cinque Terre. The place was comfortable and was nice to take a long hot shower after a day of hiking. I was there in the offseason so it was very quiet. The host was very responsive by message.

    Comfortable room in a picturesque village with AC and a small balcony. There is self-check-in, and the host is ready to help over a messenger. There is a family of roosters living nearby that will help you not oversleep past 5 AM. Corniglia itself is a pleasant place to visit, and you can hike to the neighboring Vernazza.

    The door to the terrace has a thin curtain that let's in a lot of light in the morning so a thicker curtain would be better (I used a spare duvet cover to make it darker and that was fine).

    Rooftop terrace with outside table and chairs. Another large window which was next to the bed that gave sea and Hill views - a perfect view as you wake up and open the shutters. The room was over two levels with a mezzanine so felt a decent space. There is a fridge to keep things cold which in the communal hall so is shared with the one other rental room below. The shower pressure was good and water hot. Appreciated that maps and guide books had been left to use which was helpful. The couple that owned it was friendly and helpful and leaving bags with them was no problem. Great location in the middle of Corniglia which itself is in the middle of the five villages and not as busy as the others.

    If you are considering staying in Corniglia as you hike the Cinque Terre I cannot recommend this place enough. I booked this place so last minute. I was on the train platform in Corniglia and my train out was arriving in two minutes but my gut was telling me to stay here. The host replied immediately and gave me very clear instructions on how to get into the apartment. It's tucked away so I didn't feel exposed while I got into the apartment. The host seemingly ran to greet me and make sure I had everything I needed, that's how last minute it was. I appreciate her doing so. I walked past the entrance corridor to this apartment a couple of times after hiking into Corniglia. Dozens of people were stopping to take pictures of the stairway up, so when I made a last minute decision to stay in Corniglia instead of returning to Florence (because are you kidding me? This place is heaven on earth) I was pleasantly surprised to see that this was the way to my stay. There are wonderful small trattorias and great spots for breakfast and coffee open early in the morning on the street below the apartment. I was impressed with the size of the apartment given the size of the town. The bathroom is a shower, toilet with hand held bidet, and a sink. She provided towels, hair dryer, shampoo, and body wash (very needed at that point). Water pressure and temperature were perfect. The bedroom has a very comfortable queen sized bed with 2 very soft pillows. The blankets were warm without being too heavy. There are two windows facing different directions. One directly in front of the bed, and one to the left side. Through these windows you can see views of the street below or up to the church, hillside, and mountain. If you don't like nature sounds, bring ear plugs. Even then, only use them when you're really really going to sleep and leave one of the windows open a crack.

    La Ginestra was perfect place to stay on our 3 nights vacation. Perfect spot to hike around the Cinque Terre. The room was clean and cozy and there was enough space, when you you could use the upstairs and balcony also. The host was very friendly and helpful. Corniglia was small and peaceful village, perfect for us.
