La Torretta dei Merli with Views
The Merli Tower
A romantic refuge in the heart of Vernazza Cinque Terre
In the heart of Vernazza, La Torretta dei Merli is a fascinating studio with a historic character that combines atmosphere, view and modern comfort. Completely renovated in 2017 and equipped with air conditioning since June 2023, it offers an intimate and evocative refuge with spectacular views of the village rooftops and the Ligurian Sea.
An ideal choice for those seeking a special stay, rich in charm and authenticity.
The space
The studio is organised on multiple levels, making the most of its unique architecture.
The living area is bright and welcoming, with two single beds under the sloping ceiling and a window overlooking the picturesque streets of Vernazza.
The fully equipped kitchen, complete with washing machine, microwave and Nespresso machine, opens directly onto the panoramic terrace, recently enhanced with a sun shade. From here, you can enjoy an extraordinary view of the village, Piazza Marconi, the coast towards Monterosso and the Mesco promontory.
In the highest part of the studio is the tower room, with a double bed positioned to offer a direct view of the sea and the bell tower of Santa Margherita: sunrise and sunset become unforgettable moments.
The bathroom, simple and functional, is in harmony with the character of the apartment.
Comfort and amenities
Air conditioning, Wi-Fi, Nespresso machine and safety gate on internal stairs for greater peace of mind.
A house with a story
The name La Torretta dei Merli recalls medieval architecture with battlements and narrow openings, symbolically evoking the historic Torre dei Merli of Monterosso and creating an ideal link between two of the most fascinating villages of the Cinque Terre.
Ideal for
Couples seeking a romantic getaway, artists and writers looking for inspiration, small families wanting a unique stay in the heart of Vernazza.
Location and Access
Located in a central position, it allows you to easily reach Marconi Square, restaurants, cafés, shops, the small harbour and coastal scenic paths.
Please note that access to the apartment is via steep stairs, typical of historic houses in the village.
