About this property

On the Way to the Marina Apartment with great Sea View

A studio ideal for a couple or 2 friends, or for a family of 3 with a child. It has one double bed, a small extra fold out bed, kitchenette and bathroom and a spectacular balcony with sea view. It has an outside private terrace garden where you can sit and read or bask in the sun. The balcony is directly accessible from the apartment, whereas the garden is outside and below the building. It is very close to the center of town, with cafés and restaurants, and on the way to the beautiful Marina of Corniglia. One of the best rocky beaches of Cinque Terre, with plenty of flat rocks to sunbathe and easy access for swimming. The marina has a freshwater shower. The studio is of very easy reach from the center of town, cafès and restaurants, grocery stores, and the train station. Most people visit Cinque Terre by train. No village allows cars in town (they can't get in stairs in gangways!). The studio is at 8 minutes walk from the safe public parking, which costs 15 euro/day or 50/week. Fabio, the US born owner, having being in his career one of the planners of the Cinque Terre Park, will be able to give you all the information needed for visiting the area, and will have to collect 2 euro/day of town tourist tax per person with a max of 6 euros per person.

We loved Corniglia because it was small and not crowded. The apartment view was enchanting.

We are already planning our next visit. The only suggestion I would make is to get softer pillows. Minor issue for how wonderful it was.

This apartment is a wonderful little place, perfect for one or two people. Fabio is a very good host, communicative and with lots of tips about the local area. The apartment itself has lots of character, simple but with pretty much everything you need, and grocery/pharmacy/etc nearby for anything you have forgotten. The absolute star point is the balcony overlooking the sea, we spent every morning and night here admiring the views. The walk down to the marina is also very short, although a little steep for some, and it is excellent for swimming.

If you want to waste time sitting inside watching TV instead of enjoying the Cinque Terre, this isn't the place for you. If you want a place with a a great view, and a great host, and the essentials for a relaxing visit, then I would highly recommend this property. The view was amazing, and that is probably an understatement. Because of the time of the year we went, it was cool and the rains were intermittent during our stay, but that didn't keep us from opening the door to look outside. The place has everything you need for a good relaxing trip. There are little markets near by and even during the winter there were little cafes open with good food and friendly people.

Small, quiet place to relax

Communication with Fabio was great. He provided a lot of helpful tips on where to go and how to get there which we used. He also provided alot of background info about the area which was very nice to know. The apartment itself is small but just fine for two people for a few days. It had everything we needed for eating breakfast in the apartment. Cooking full meals might be a bit more challenging, but doable. The view from the window was amazing, we watched the sunset from there which was a nice perk. The apartment and actual village were very quiet at night. Checking in and out were simple and the place was very clean when we arrived. The village of Cornniglia is properly the quietest with the least amount of amenities, which we liked. A few of the other villages in Cinque Terra were quit busy and crowded, especially during the day. The only issue was that the patio area had not been used for quite sometime (or appeared not to have been) and the grass was overrun, etc so we didn't use it. Not a big deal for us. We will stay at Fabio's place in Cornniglia next time round.

Great location in Corniglia!

We really enjoyed staying in Corniglia as a much quieter town of the Cinque Terre. Nice view of the marina from the window and the terrace below the apartment. Simple place but had everything we needed. Fabio was very responsive and informative.

Super séjour dans ce coin de Paradis

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour chez Fabio, nous n'avons pas eu l'occasion de le voir mais il nous a donné plein d'informations sur les Cinq terres, les balades à faire ou les bonnes adresses de restaurants. Sa petite maison est charmante et le petit jardin vu sur la mer est parfait pour voir les couchés de soleil. Je reviendrais avec plaisir.

Fantastic stay in Corniglia!

We loved our little home away from home! It started with great communication with Fabio. Very clear instructions from how to find their place to suggestions on various hikes. Included is a great little kitchen space with all that you need for preparing meals if you want. There’s room to move around for two people comfortably. The bed was comfortable and you feel very little movement from your partner. The tap water in all of Italy is drinkable so that was convenient as you need a lot of it! Corniglia is a great village to stay in, especially in the evening to get away from the crowds. At Fabio’s you have your own little garden to relax in and soak up the view and the sunsets. We really loved it here and Fabio’s set up is easy and comfortable! I’d highly recommend it!!! The only thing that would have made it better is if we could have met our hosts in person!

Fabio was born in New York in 1957, with a Masters Degree in Natural Resources Policy and Planning from Cornell University, becomes a protected areas planner for International Organizations. In 1988-89 after returning from the US participates in the process of creating the Master Plan for thr future Cinque Terre Park, this makes him an expert of what it's worth visitng at the Cinque Terre. In 1989 he's the founder of Europe Conservation, a European non-profit organization specialized in providing volunteers to small conservation projects in developing countries. In 1996 he first publishes Green Volunteers, the World Guide to Voluntary Work in Nature Conservation, now sold world wide and known as “The Bible of Conservation Volunteering”. He is also active in the humanitarian field by being among the founders of the First Italian Ethical Bank. He also edits and publishes other international volunteering guides: World Volunteers, The World Guide to Humanitarian and Development Volunteering, and Archaeo-Volunteers, the World Guide to Archaeological and Heritage Volunteering. He is now the Administrator of a chain of Hostels on Lake Como Italy.

Fabio lives and works between Milan and Lake Como (Italy), but he's always available to give advice to any guest by phone, skype or whatsapp. Fabio and Silvia have a daughter, Stella, 16 years old.

Why they chose this property

After working for a couple years at the Cinque Terre in planning the Coastal Protected area, I have been away from Cinque Terre for over 25 years. Corngilia it has always been my favorite place because less crowded than other places in Cinque Terre. But very close to the beach and to my favorite walk. The Corniglia Vernazza Walk. In a recent trip to cinque Terre I saw the "for sale" sign and I fell in love with this charming studio, his location but in particular his beautiful garden terrace.

What makes this property unique

The proximity to the Corniglia Marina, the vicinity to the best Cinque Terre walk (Corniglia Vernazza) and the spectacular Sea View and of the Cinque Terre sunsets that can be enjoyed from the balcony and Garden Terrace of the apartment.
