In the marvellous
scenery of Cinque Terre, this property is positioned directly in
front of the sea, in a quiet area, with an amazing view over the
coast of the National Park of Cinque Terre, watching over the small
Manarola harbour
The recent reconstruction works have created a distinctive and
agreeable environment that combines the warmth unaffected welcoming
to the comfort of a modern structure respectful of the ecology
and of the internal well living.
The area and its buildings formed the most important part of Manarola
Medieval Castle that has been built in the X century and destroyed
by an overwhelming battleships fleet from Genoa in the XV century.
Since Castle destruction the main building stayed in ruins. There
was not much left of it, apart from the ground floor thick medieval
dry stone walls and arches, when the owner’s family bought and
restored it in 1955. Much work was done in order to bring it back
to its original four floor tower-house size.
During 2001 started a new renovation project that ended in late
spring 2003.
All the works have been conceived in order to guarantee the respect
of the environment and of the building origins.
In the ground floor "cantina" the stone walls and arch
have been left in the way they have been found and only few additions
have been made such as: all upper floors, with the bedrooms, living-room
and terrace, have been restored according to an ecologically sensitive
design, with good care in detailing, combining a creative use of
local traditional craftsmanship and materials, along with the most
advanced and efficient building technology, in the belief that,
through a sensitive design and care in detailing, it is possible
to ensure people well-being and influence the quality of our lives.
In the property there are 4 double rooms with private bathroom
+ an additional room on top of the property with a sofa bed for
2 (without bathroom).
All rooms have a wonderful sea view and are equipped with all comforts:
acoustic insulation, private services, satellite TV, safe, mini
bar, hair dryer
Relax area:

Not available in July and August. |
