About this property

In Corniglia with balcony

THE APARTMENT
Stella Marina Apartment is located in Corniglia, the central village of the Cinque Terre, right on the main square of the town, where the minibus from the train station also arrives.
Situated on the second floor of a typical Ligurian house with three apartments, the accommodation is in the heart of the village, just a short walk from artisan shops, boutiques, bakeries, and restaurants.
The apartment measures 100 sqm and is spread over two levels:

Lower level:
Open-plan living area with a comfortable lounge, dining space, and fully equipped kitchenette
Furnished terrace with table and chairs, overlooking the gardens and vegetable plots below; in the distance, the village of Manarola can be seen
Guest bathroom with washing machine

Upper level / mezzanine:
Double bedroom
Attic twin bedroom with two single beds (partially visible from the lower level)
Attic bathroom with hydromassage bathtub

The apartment can accommodate up to 4–6 guests, with a sofa bed in the living area, the double bedroom, and the twin bedroom.

HOW TO REACH CORNIGLIA
We recommend reaching Corniglia by train, as a car is not necessary in the Cinque Terre and parking is limited and paid.
The Corniglia train station is located below the village, which is perched on a hill.
A shuttle bus connects the station to the village in about 5 minutes (tickets can be purchased on board).
The shuttle runs daily until 7:00 PM; after that time, the village can only be reached on foot, either via the main road or by climbing the Lardarina Staircase (377 steps).
Please note: there is no taxi service available.
The apartment is located on the main square, just a few steps from the shuttle stop.
We recommend bringing light and manageable luggage.

CHECK IN / CHECK OUT
Our reception is located at Hotel Clelia in Deiva Marina, approximately 30 km from Corniglia.
The hotel operates seasonally, from Easter until the end of October.
Upon request, guests can collect the keys directly in Corniglia using the self check-in system with a numeric code.
Guest registration is handled remotely, with support available via Vrbo, email, and phone.

Great place in the middle of Corniglia

Air conditioning was fantastic. Second or third floor apartment with plenty of space. Only thing to watch out for is there's only a tub with a shower head and a low ceiling, but we made it work. Would recommend

My family had a very pleasant time in this apartment. Most importantly, the AC cools entire apartment well. Second, it is a PERFECT location. The lack of a stand-up shower was problematic, the TVs are rather old, and the WIFI was quite spotty when we were there (turning on and off regularly). These aren't big issues if spending the entire day in the beach, but if a business traveler or family with kids expecting some downtime streaming movies, they could be issues. The kitchen was great to make meals in, and the market was only steps away from the apartment. ALSO--swimming in Corniglia was fantastic! Just bring water shoes for stability and to protect feet from sharp rocks.

We really enjoyed our stay in Corniglia and this was a great place to stay. We were a family of 6 and it was perfect. The location was fantastic and the place was clean and well kept. Also thank you for your prompt responses when we had questions. We highly recommend this property.

Perfecto!

We had a wonderful stay in Corniglia at Stella Marina. The apartment was spotless and well equipped with anything and everything we needed for a comfortable visit to Cinque Terre. Found wonderful places to eat just steps from the apartment. The hike from Corniglia to Vernazza was challenging but so rewarding with amazing vistas.

No shower, but still highly recommend!

The apartment is lovely and a very convenient location in town being very close to the bus stop. The only issue with it was that there isn’t a stand up shower, just a hand held thing in the tub, and if your family is tall, like mine, you can’t stand up in the tub. Otherwise, the place was great and would recommend it!

Gem in the center of Corniglia

We had a wonderful 2 night stay in this very comfortable property. And since we had a car, we took advantage of the offer to park at the hotel they own and take the train to Corniglia. (and we were able to meet the lovely property manager!). Unfortunately, it had rained the day before we came, so some of the trails were closed. We'll just have to return! :)

Fantastic

The property is lovely, large, in a perfect location, in the quietest village of the five in Cinque Terre. The east facing balcony was lovely for breakfast and to watch the world go by on the piazza in the evening. It is right next to both grocery stores, and the neighbours in the building were very friendly, with two adorable cats! The only thing to be aware of is that the shower head is not high enough to be a stand-up shower, but can be used easily by sitting in the jacuzzi tub or sitting on the back ledge of the tub. A wonderful apartment, it worked so well for our party of 6, thank you!

Overall very nice!

Bright and clean property! Very convenient to the town (right at the main town square). Very nice to have air conditioning on the hot summer days! The kitchen is very small and the plates/utinsils are on the other side of the room. It really just has a bathtub with a hand-held shower head; can't really use it like a shower as the ceiling is too low.

Stunning location at Corniglia

This apartment was very well located and check-in was smooth. Issues: The bedroom upstairs hardly gets wifi and the apartment doesn't have a shower. The Jacuzzi tub was clean, but nozzles seemed to be dirty and it's not very convenient to shower with the hand held faucet. We could not locate heating in the house for living room. Also, there were hardly any closets/storage facility in the unit. I'd certainly advise that if traveling to Cinque Terre - carry less luggage since there are so many stairs. Luckily this unit is just at main downtown stop in Corniglia, but the spiral staircase makes it difficult. I'd recommend this place for short stays in Corniglia.

Family Stay in CT

The apartment was consistent with the description and photos. The apartment is spacious with a queen/double bed in one room and two twin beds in a loft. The kitchen is small but adequate for light meals and snacks. There is a tiny laundry room with a toilet on the main floor. The spiral staircase to access the loft is very compact. Large people and large luggage will have trouble with a tight squeeze. The bathroom is spacious but there is no shower. The jacuzzi tub is fitted with a hand held shower nozzle. Our family made it work for the 2 nights we stayed. Location is great, just a few steps and stairs off the town square. There are lots of steep stairs in CT and accessing the apartment is no exception. Communication with the host was very good, and professional. The directions to access the property were good.

Ideal location and amenities

Our family loved staying at this rental. We were undecided on which village to stay at and Corniglia turned out perfect for us. It is centrally located and easy to move around to other villages via the train. It’s the only village that doesn’t have direct access via the ferry, which turned out great as it’s not as overcrowded as other villages. The apartment has all of the amenities you need and communication was extremely clear. The layout worked well for our family of 4 with two teenage boys. As others mentioned, there isn’t a shower, but rather a large jacuzzi with a handheld shower head. I’d read this prior and it wasn’t an issue for us. We really enjoyed spending our evenings on the outdoor patio, playing cards and watching the activity downstairs in the courtyard. The apartment is right in the village and we could just pop down the stairs to visit restaurants and enjoyed walking down to the water. It’s also close to the hiking trail to Vernazza which an incredible hike. Our only regret was staying 2 nights instead of 3.

Worked great for our family!

My family of four visited the Cinque Terre and this apartment was our home base. It worked great for us since our teenagers could have their own space and so could we. The views are amazing! Yes, there are tons of stairs everywhere in the CT, to get to this place, and also the spiral staircase up to the bedrooms, but that’s part of the charm in our opinion. There is a small fridge, kitchen, and basically everything you need to make a basic meal (but no condiments or anything). We had a couple issues with climate control but figured it out (you use a remote control to turn the heat up or down), and we stayed during mild weather. And yes, you do kind of have to crouch down to take a shower in the jacuzzi tub. Overall, it was a great apartment for us and our kids. My only hesitation in staying there again was that the bus up the hill stops running at 7:30pm, so we had to hike up the stairs or the hill every night since we had dinner in other towns. But again, it’s the Cinque Terre...climbs are part of the deal.
