La Maison de la Mer
Elegance and comfort in the heart of Vernazza
La Maison de la Mer is a welcoming and distinctive apartment that comfortably accommodates up to four guests, set in the heart of Vernazza, one of the most enchanting villages of the Cinque Terre. From its elevated position, the apartment enjoys charming views over the village rooftops and features a private terrace, an ideal space for outdoor breakfasts, relaxed afternoons or dinners at sunset.
Accessed from the quiet Via Carattino, the entrance is technically on the first floor, yet due to the building’s height above the main street it feels comparable to a fifth floor. This privileged position enhances both the views and the sense of privacy, while guests should be aware that the external path and internal stairs may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility.
Inside, the apartment combines modern comfort with a well-organised layout designed to make the most of its compact spaces. The living area features a new and fully equipped kitchen with induction hob, refrigerator, washing machine, microwave and Nespresso coffee machine, alongside a cosy seating area that opens directly onto the private terrace. A heat pump split located in the living space serves the entire floor, providing cooling in summer and warmth in winter, while additional fans ensure comfort throughout the apartment.
The sleeping areas are arranged on two levels. On the upper floor, a comfortable double bedroom with skylight and air conditioning offers a quiet and intimate retreat, while an adjacent open sleeping space with a single bed is ideal for a child and benefits from natural light and ventilation, though with the lower ceilings typical of attic rooms. On the lower level, a separate single room is cooled by the air from the living area and equipped with a fan, providing a practical and comfortable solution for families. The bathroom, though compact, is functional and fitted with a shower.
La Maison de la Mer is particularly well suited to couples seeking a romantic escape and small families wishing to experience Vernazza in an authentic yet comfortable way. The combination of a panoramic terrace, modern kitchen facilities and a central location makes it an excellent base for exploring the Cinque Terre.
Small and medium-sized dogs are welcome with a supplement and in accordance with house rules, ensuring respect for the property and the tranquillity of other guests.
Guests benefit from the attentive services of Cinque Terre Riviera, including a complimentary welcome breakfast for the first day, high-quality essential supplies such as local extra virgin olive oil and eco-friendly Nespresso capsules, professional cleaning, a strong commitment to sustainability and the support of a concierge office in Vernazza, open from 9:30 to 18:30 between mid-March and early November.
With its blend of elevated views, private outdoor space and central yet peaceful setting, La Maison de la Mer offers a memorable stay in the heart of the Cinque Terre, where comfort, atmosphere and location come together seamlessly.
