Fantastic find in Vernazza
This place was amazing. The location is great with the best view of the harbor in Vernazza. Our three couples had plenty of space and a beautiful outdoor terrace for meals. Luca and Manu were great hosts with good local recommendations.

An amazing stay in the Cinque Terre
Luca's place blew us away. It's the house that when you are on the beach in Vernazza you look up and go 'i wonder who lives in that incredible spot'. Four double bedrooms, plenty of space in a comfortable living room, lots of balcony. Two minutes from the square and the sea for your morning swim. It's got wifi and air con. We were five adults but it would also be big enough for four couples. It is.up some stairs but if that's a problem, then the whole cinque terre probably isn't for you. communication with Luca was easy. Basically we loved it.

We regularly stay at vrbo for all of our vacations and this is one of the loveliest we had the pleasure of staying at. It was perfect for a family of 4, the amenities were perfect and it had everything you need. The location was one of the most beautiful. We split our time between here and Rome and wished we would have spent the entire time here. The shop owners, restaurants and vendor were fantastic! Highly recommend.

Amazing Views
What a wonderful time we had in Vernazza! And Luca’s place was spectacular! Very comfy beds, great accommodations for whatever you needed for your stay. Kitchen and baths nicely updated, comfy seating areas inside and out, and the views were amazing! Only downside was hauling luggage up and down all those stairs. Very gracious hosts, great recommendations for food and sites. I would come again!

Fabulous family retreat
Absolutely lovely converted convent that was perfect for our family of 6 with 4 teens for 3 nights. Stunning views overlooking the ocean. The weather did not cooperate the first day, and the unit was fully stocked for us to make breakfast and have a cozy day storm watching and hanging out. Location is a great jumping off point to hike the parts of the coastal Cinque Terre that are open now - we hiked north, then trained south to visit southern towns and hiked back from Corniglia as Vernazza is right in the middle. The town itself has all the amenities including grocery and many restaurants to chose from literally a 5 min walk away, Luca and Emmanule were very welcoming and accommodating hosts and answered questions quickly with lots of great tips about the town and the the Cinque Terre. Highly recommend!

A gem
The place was fantastic and the views were unbelievable. I loved the feeling of having a home base and actually got to know several shopkeepers and waitresses in town. Would highly recommend. My only comment would be the issue of luggage assistance-the major or the group was over 70 and had some difficulty

Great house with an Amazing view
The property sits perched on a hill with amazing views. The house was clean and had a small, but functioning kitchen. We enjoyed the 2 outdoor areas overlooking the sea. If I picked a negative, it would be that the bathrooms are small and they are both upstairs. A delightful stay with very helpful hosts. Did I say the views are amazing??!!!!

What a beautiful house!
My family and I stayed for four nights. It was a wonderful and refreshing coastal break after spending nearly a week in Rome and Florence. The pictures posted on the site don’t do justice to the amazing view. The first floor was much bigger than I anticipated. Beds were comfortable. Our host was friendly, helpful, and very easy to communicate with. And Vernazza is such a fun town! Swimming and snorkeling in the bay was fun with lots of tropical fish and octopus to watch. Easy to hop on the train to visit the other towns of Cinques Terres. The hiking trail to Monterosso also goes right by the entry to this property.

Amazing location and views from this beautiful house on the cliff overlooking the harbor in Vernazza. We honestly had the best view in town! The home was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. We had everything we needed for our family of 5. It was wonderful to pop out for breakfast and come back and have it on the balcony nook. I would recommend taking the train into Vernazza and not driving however which was a bit stressful. Looking forward to returning!

Spectacular views
The house is perfectly situated where you can quietly relax looking out at the ocean views. A short walk downstairs and you are in the heart of the hustle and bustle of tourists, shops and eateries. Access to the beach and swim off the rocks are very close as well. The train to access all the towns is a short walk away as is the marina to schedule a boat tour. Hiking trails start at the entrance of the house for hiking to Monterosso which takes about two hours by trail. The train and church bells are loud at night and morning but it adds to the experience. Luca is a great host who is easy to access if needed.

We really enjoyed our stay! The house is super clean and comfortable. The location overlooking the harbor keeps you above all the day time hustle and bustle but still close to everything. Outdoor seating was comfortable and fun in the evening. Highly recommend hiring assistance with your luggage from the train station unless you pack light or are really fit. Luca was kind enough to arrange some help for our bags.

Magical Place
This was our second stay at Luca’s lovely villa. The first time was at Christmas and the second time for Spring Break. The villa is absolutely stunning, well furnished, has thoughtful and artistic touches throughout. Luca is an artist and that is evident in the style of his home. The kitchen is well equipped and set up for cooking and preparing meals. There is also a dining room for a large family of 6-7 to sit and eat breakfast. The villa sits directly on the beginning of the trail from Vernazza to Monterosso and is just a short walk down to the most beautiful town of all the 5 villages, Vernazza. We loved waking up with coffee each morning on the balcony overlooking the sea. The views are magical! The setting is like you are living in a movie. We will definitely return again. Thank you for another amazing family vacation!

We loved this place!
We arrived in Rome the day before our check in here and took the train to Vernazza. The trip was roughly 4 hours long with one transfer… buy your tickets early and get a first class seat! Arriving in Vernazza, we were struck by how convenient the town is. The train station sits up the street at one end of town. Walk toward the sea and end up at what we were calling the town square. The street is lined with so many wonderful restaurants and shops… we could have stayed much longer than a week and still not tasted everything. The gelato was plentiful and delicious! There are a couple little stores where we bought cheeses, meat, bread, wine, and pastries to take back to the home for lunches and nibbles. The town is laid back with a very energetic vibe. Loads of tourists during the day who disappear with the last train in the evenings. The HOUSE though! I travelled with my sister and four of our older teenager kids. The beds are comfy (each bedroom having an A/C unit that worked very well) and spacious. Two comfortable bathrooms on the bedroom level. Downstairs is the dining/living room area with a tiny, perfect kitchen. The view out the three sets of gorgeous double doors can’t be described and photos won’t do it justice. You have to see it. The stairs up to the home are challenging if you aren’t active, but definitely doable… just rest intermittently. The hiking path is literally right outside of the house gate. We did the 3.6km hike to Monterosso in about 2 hours. Take lots of water. We enjoyed a lovely lunch and some shopping and then some of us took the train back to Vernazza while a couple of us hiked the trail back. It took about an hour to return. The swimming down by the rocks is amazing… the water refreshing but not too cold. We bought floaties and goggles at one of the stores and loved jumping off the low cliffs. I’d love to return and would highly recommend this property! Luca and Emanuela are lovely, responsive, and very helpful. We’d run out of coffee pods on our last day and I inquired about where to go to buy some more… there is no place in town so Luca made a special delivery of pods despite our protests that we could just get coffee in town. We are so grateful for the week that we had in Vernazza

Perfection in Vernazza
It would be hard to accept there is a better location in Cinque Terre. Spent 3 nights here with our kids while traveling through Italy for over 3 weeks. From 5 star hotels to other luxury homes. This was the favorite by a landslide across the board. The walk to/from the house from the village each day was a pinch me moment every time. The graciousness and easy communication with the hosts along the way was the icing on the cake! We already cannot wait to return. Thank you!

Unforgettable Week in Vernazza
We had the pleasure of staying for 6 wonderful nights at Luca’s Il Conventino and it was a week we will remember forever. We started planning our Italy trip in July 2019 for summer 2020, but had to reschedule twice due to the pandemic. We are so grateful to Luca for being flexible and understanding in accommodating us with these changes. It was a long wait to finally visit Cinque Terre, but it was worth it. We could not have imagined a better place to stay than this villa. The location is prime, the views are unparalleled, and the proximity to everything you could possibly want to do is literally no more than a few minutes away. Hiking the trails, taking a sunset boat tour, catching the train to other towns, snapping photos of the incredible landscape, shopping for souvenirs or necessities for dinner, swimming in the sea, eating at great restaurants, or grabbing a cappuccino in the morning or a gelato in the afternoon. The villa itself is wonderful. It is beautifully decorated while still being comfortable and welcoming. It has a well-equipped kitchen, plenty of seating inside and outside, and comfortable bedrooms with the most amazing views of Vernazza’s harbor. Luca was an amazing host and welcomed us to his villa with warmth and enthusiasm, showed us around, and offered many helpful suggestions about what to do and where to eat. It was truly a dream come true week for us! Thank you, Luca!

Amazing Christmas Holiday
We spent five unbelievable nights at Luca's home in Vernazza. For years I have been researching Cinque Terre and its towns. I read multiple forums telling travelers to visit the cities instead of Cinque Terre in December. However, visiting this area had always been my dream, so I decided to take the plunge and go anyway. I am so glad that I did!!! Did it rain? Yes, but we also had a few amazing days as well. That's why you need to stay for 5 or more days. I wish we stayed longer. We loved Vernazza more than the other towns, and Vernazza has the best two hikes (Monterosso and Corniglia). The Monterosso hike runs right behind this villa. The villa is stunning and the views are like a dream come true! The living space looks right out into the Vernazza harbor. The kitchen is well equipped; I actually cooked Christmas dinner in it. We woke every morning to the church bells ringing and just loved that, My family and I agreed that we would love to return again one day. Thank you, Luca and Emanuela, for some of the best memories of our lives.
