Su Pierpaolo Paradisi
Who was born on an island, like many of us, he always knows exactly where it is going. If we left the east coast towards the west, or if from north we go south. Even in life, in relationships with others we are so ... we know our direction, and we look openly. It is by cause the sea that we know orient ourselves. It 'a mental condition that plunges its roots in our imprinting, a compass that comes from inside and exit out to the skin. We sailed to Europe in pursuit of civilization, work, progress and the future. But there was not found a lot more civilization than we left , perhaps work, I do not think the future. In those mountains and factories and paved courtyards and endless highways we have not found more humanity to a seaport. And in those beaches and cliffs that we left there is more life of a downtown metropolis any Nordic. At sea, so, I'm wanted to come back. My family consists of me, my dog hero Leo, and Zanna, my cat. Our lifestyle is simple, essential, in contact with nature, without the unnecessary luxuries offering media, and neither frills. We believe that real luxury consists in comfort of a serene life, without noise nor smog, breathing fresh air and enjoying what the earth offers us.

Perché hai deciso di affittare questa proprietà?
Our mission is to preserve this little village and the nature on which all life depends. How do we achieve this mission? Through all the efforts to live here, all the year. With the help of ours guests, people who believe in a different world. We cultivate the countryside using a non-confrontational and a collaborative approach, staying true to our values. Our vision is to leave a sustainable world for future generations. The Cinque Terre face unprecedented challenges: dwindling natural resources, declining economies, a rapidly changing climate and other threats require that all of us begin to work together to reach common solutions. More than ever before, we must find innovative ways to ensure that the Cinque Terre National Park can continue to live. This is a time of opportunity. A time to move conservation from the sidelines of global priorities to the center of the world stage because the future of these lands depends on a safe, diverse and protected environment.
Che cosa rende questa casa unica?
Details guests must know about our home: Must climb stairs (from the parking to the Villa 100 steps); Pets (cat) live on property. VERY IMPORTANT: Like all around the Mediterranean coast, in the 5 Terre are found many insects such as mosquitoes, bees, wasps, sand flies etc. Therefore it is strongly recommended to apply insect repellents after sunset. Please note that there aren't mosquito nets in the rooms. Buy mosquito spray!

Amazing!
Pierpaolo was an excellent host and his home was AMAZING. A way better and more unique experience than staying in town. You are literally hanging over the water with expansive views of cinque terre. Beautiful location will return in the future!!
Unbeatable scenery
We loved our stay at The Heart of Cinque Terre. Pierpaulo was an attentive and gracious host. He shared this lovely piece of paradise, including wine, fresh, organic greens and herbs from the garden. This place was a magical, peaceful respite. Highly recommended if you enjoy the outdoors, hiking, cooking outside and the unbeatable scenery of Cinque Terre.
We love it so much!!!
Amazing place, outstanding vue, garden and terrace, great place to rest and take it easy ! Thank you for the warm welcome ;-) We love it so much !!
Thanks for your nice words!
A great place to enjoy the natural beauty
Off the beaten path but worth the trip if you can manage the remoteness. The place is well secluded for being in the heart of one of the most touristic locations in Italy and the views and surroundings are simply amazing. With a good clip you can get to Corniglia on foot in about 30-40 minutes, Vernazza is probably 40-50. There is a small bar serving drinks and a limited menu during the day about 5 minutes from the house in Prevo (towards Corniglia on the blue path). Plenty of space for our 12 with rooms well apportioned and many bathrooms. Though the location is rustic the furnishings included a lot of gallery type art pieces so it is a bit eclectic. The kitchen had plenty of crockery for cooking your own meals and there is a great vegetable garden with tomatoes, peppers and basil which we used. There was no baby bed so if you are travelling with infants— you need to improvise. Small quirks being in the heart of cinque terra with the electricity and lots of warnings in the house around not using too many appliances at the same time. You can only use the washing machine between 8pm and 10 pm which we adapted to as we travelled with several children and had been on the road for a few weeks. Also, our all time personal favorite house rule was that no ‘cackling’ was allowed after 10 PM. When they mention to pack light, this cannot be understated. The walk to the parking is uphill and up steep stairs— do not take a shower before packing your stuff out— you will get your morning workout. The parking is terrifying. You wind down a super narrow road and then you park on the side of a cliff with less than a meter between your car and the drop off and on a surface that is unreinforced gravel. I highly recommend that you do not drive at night (so the eat-in feature was great). A great place to enjoy the natural beauty of Cinque Terra without any of the crowds. Host was great and super low key and amenable. It is a beautiful and unique place.
This experience far exceed my expectaions.
This experience far exceed my expectaions. It was MORE beautiful and well situated then I could have imagined. The view is spectacular and from sunrise to sunset the house is full of light and beauty. The property and enchanted gardens make this an a slice of heaven. The house is well equipped with everything you could need. Pierpaolo was super helpful and kind and answered every question we asked. He helped charter a boat and is very well connected in the community. I would stay here again in a second! I never wanted to leave.
Daniel send me this review by email and he ask me to copy here on Homeaway (this is why is wrote with my name).

HOW TO GET HERE BY CAR - 44°07'47.4"N 9°41'57.3"E
FROM NORTH
From Genova you must take highway A12 Genova-Livorno and exit in 'Carrodano-Levanto'.
At the gate follow the notices for Levanto. At the bottom of the first descent you’re in the town of Levanto, proceed to Monterosso on the left. Follow on the road SP51 to Vernazza and to Corniglia.
When you meet the junction that leads to Vernazza (right) and San Bernardino (left): you go straight to Corniglia.
After 800 meters on the right side of the road there is a wooden road sign with the word 'Prevo': there, on the right begins the private road that leads to our house.
FROM SOUTH
A-12 Highway (Autostrada) Genova - Livorno. Exit La Spezia-S.Stefano Magra. Follow the signs towards Cinque Terre.
You meet before Riomaggiore, Manarola and then Volastra.
After a couple of miles the road (to Monterosso) is closed for work in progress. Just at that point, on the left, begins the road that
leads to Corniglia and Vernazza (4.5 km): take that road.
After about 2 km you meet the junction that leads to Vernazza (right) and San Bernardino (left): you go straight to Corniglia.
After 800 meters on the right side of the road there is a wooden road sign with the word 'Prevo': there, on the right begins the private road that leads to our house.
Stop there and call us so we'll come to meet you.
BY TRAIN AND ON FOOT
The main train station is La Spezia. Here you must take the train that stops in every Cinque Terre village.
You can buy the tickets at the ticket office or through the self-serve ticket kiosk.
The Cinque-Terre-day-pass is highly recommended if you want to travel the whole day among the Cinque Terre villages.
To get to Prevo you can get off at the station of Corniglia (or Vernazza, the distance is the same), follow the blue path to Vernazza (or follow Corniglia if off at Vernazza).
We are exactly in halfway: see entrance here.
