Nothing not to like

Our stay at Eleonora's was absolutely fantastic! Eleonora is a wonderful host, she advised us on where to go and what to see and gave us a map and some great tips on how to do the different hikes and where to go to eat. She was always available on WhatsApp whenever we needed help and she let us leave our luggage in the room a little longer after check out so we could go have a late breakfast. The room was super cosy and very clean, we had everything we needed. The bed was extremely comfortable, the bathroom modern and spacious and the fridge, coffee machine and coffee capsules a great bonus. The view of the village and sea from the terrace was awesome and the pretty little garden up the stairs was lovely. We loved coming back in the evenings after a long day hiking and exploring. Corniglia ended up being our favourite village, it's location in the middle of the five and it's peaceful nature was a perfect base for many hiking trails. Thank you so much Eleonora! We really hope we get to come back again someday!😊

Although it is wonderful to hear church bells, all night long is a bit much, especially if you were the one sleeping on the second floor.

It was definitely a less busy place, we wanted a quiet location. It was a lovely walk up the many steps from the train station. If you found it too hot or you just didn't want to do the climb there was a bus that ran frequently to the village square. The local people were friendly, especially the couple who ran the wee supermarket in the square. Our accommodation was easy to find as our host was excellent in her communications.

The only things I would have changed (and none of these would prevent me from staying again) are that the pillows are pretty awful, kind of like folded up blankets, and that one week is a long time without any housekeeping/the garbages being emptied. It also would have been great to have some dish soap and a dish cloth (there’s a tea towel, but no cloth) to better wash out the jug for the cappuccino maker and to wash the provided mugs/dishes.

Eleonara was so lovely, and this room in her guest house was fantastic. The bed was comfy, the little fridge and cappuccino maker made having breakfast in very easy. And the views were phenomenal. Highly recommend staying there!

I loved everything about the place! Very clean and perfect location. Apartment had more than what I needed or expected! There is a wonderful cafe just down from the apartment.

The apartment was very spacious and the views extraordinary. Being in Corniglia was perfect for easy access to the other towns. Eleonora was quick to respond to any queries and a delightful host.

Corniglia is basically built on the side of a cliff and is absolutely gorgeous, but has slopes and stairs in every direction, so if you're not up for the exercise this is probably not for you. The train station has 360+ steps to ascend to get to the village, but there is a bus for the very short vertical ride! We loved it here and were fascinated by the villages winding alleyways . Make sure that you know where the apartment is before you set off with your bags, it is easy to get lost and everywhere is up or down a slope / set of steps!

Our stay at Sole Terra Mare was superb and our hostess Eleanor was a most charming and helpful lady. She made our stay here as enjoyable as possible. The apartment was very well equipped for your needs and cooking was easily done. The sea view from the balcony has to be seen to be thoroughly appreciated. We would recommend Corniglia and the Sole Terra Mare to anyone and will tell our friends and family to go there!

This is not a critique but some piece of helpful information. I do not recommend this room to people who have problems with their feet, especially with their knees or people who are not allowed to do physical effort. You need to climb but more difficult, to descend few (10, more or less)very steep stairs after some more steps from the center. But Cinqueterre means steps anyway so if you are already here, you know that. The only window of the room is that of the door which is facing the terrace and the end of the wall of the neighbor building. It makes it a little darker, as you see in my picture, but this can be an advantage in the hot sunny days. The room has air conditioning that works very well, don't worry! We were not bothered by this aspect. For the bathroom we had towels enough for 3 nights but only one recipient of soap so bring your own shampoo and shower gel. In order to watch the sea you can sit on the terrace in front of the room but you need to get out the chairs from inside, without a table. The terrace furniture you will see belongs to the neighbors and is forbidden to be used. There is a possibility to eat your own food on a kind of terrace but you need to climb few more steps and the view of the sea is obturated by a roof, so we didn't use it at all. Conclusion: small inconveniences for this very well located room, the nice host and the good quality/price.

Corniglia. Comparing with the other 4 villages it is the best to accommodate here being not so crowded with tourists, indeed. Mrs. Eleonora, our host, was very nice and helpful. The room has a central location, close to everything you need. The parking spot is at aprox. 300 m, in a kind of garden and Mrs. Eleonora gave us exact location on Whatsapp and even a little video with how to access it which was cool. It was easy to find. It is a room with a coffee machine, coffee provided by the host (thank you!) and few dishes, it is not an apartment with a kitchen where you can cook but this is clear from the description. For a coffee and a croissant I recommend Er Posu Cafe on Via Fieschi 52. We had our dinner every evening at Cecio Restaurant on Via Serra 58 which is close and has a wonderful terrace facing the sea but there are many other nice places where to eat, have a coffee, cake or a drink. What we appreciated most is the quality/price. We payed 222 euros for 3 nights, parking included, in July!. Our host also sold us Cinqueterre card that we used for train, with a little discount and it was very good. It was 30 euro/person for 2 days, instead of 33. With this card, visiting the other villages is very easy and flexible. And the access to train station is easy by the shuttle which has only 2 stops, at the train station and up, in the center. The journey lasts few minutes and costs 2.50 euro/person, one way. The other option is by the stairs, 382 steps of Lardarina! Conclusion: a very good place to stay and enjoy Cinqueterre.

The apartment of Eleonora was just perfect! The design of the furniture is simple and tasteful, really in accordance with the old house that it is. The ambiance of the house is really nice. We stayed in the apartment Mare and the view from the nice and small balcony is beautiful. Also the location is perfect, just 2 steps away from the rest of the town, so very quiet. Apart of this, Eleonora is a wonderful host, who also helps you with other things in Cinque Terre, like the tickets for the footpath or train.

There is no WiFi but there are lots of bars/ cafes in the town which have it, so it wasn't a problem (just something to be aware of!).

Wonderful location. I felt very safe in the town as a solo traveller. The owner was so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

Very nice rom/apartment with all you need to sleep, shower and make light meals. The room was rather dark but fortunately the weather was sunny so we could spend the time in the garden or right outside the room where there was furniture. The apartment is perfect for visiting Cinque Terre, and Corniglia was the less turisted city of the 5, which we liked very much. The owner was very kind and helpful with getting tickets to the park, train etc. And our dog was very welcome aswell :-)
