We stayed in Rosa di Mare apartment in Manarola (Eraldo has several under the name Da Paulin; check his website at www.dapaulin.it). It was GREAT! Arriving after a long train ride from Roma, and lugging our baggage uphill to his reception, Eraldo cordially invited us in and let me babble in the little Italian I know whilst offering us limincello...

Really nice Apartment in Manarola. We rented the Rosa di Mare apartment, with extra double room .... Great for 2 couples. Very clean rooms with good self contained kitchen amenities and washing machine. Would highly recommend these apartments with general store and great restaurants in easy walking distance. Eraldo is a very welcoming host. I agree with some of the... More

We rented the apartment, Conchiglia. The location was perfect, perched on the hillside with a great view of town and only a partial view of the sea, but it is a wonderful sunset view where you can take in the coast and see both the towns of Corniglia and Monterrosso in the distance. We found the apartment to be clean,... More

We were thrilled with our apartment - conchiglia. The kitchenette and lounge gave us plenty of room to spread out and to self cater for breakfast, while the small landing provided the perfect spot for a late afternoon vino to watch the sunset. Maranola was the perfect base to explore Cinque Terre - amazing food but still reasonably quiet and... More

Good location for our room but frustrating to drag baggage all the way up to reception and then most of the way back to the room at other end of village. Self contained room with bar fridge which was a bonus. Bathroom clean and modern, room felt secure, bed comfy. Service ok but quite annoyed that we were told cash... More

We have visited Cinque Terre several times and stayed at Da Paulin twice. Both visits with Da Paulin are at the top of our "most memorable places" in many trips to Italy. Eraldo is a perfect host, very friendly and accommodating, and non-intrusive. Good communications before the trip, by email & Facebook. We plan to visit again in 2012, in... More

We stayed 3 nights - a group of 3 couples. Loved Manarola and felt it was the best of the villages to stay in. We had the apartment with additional bedroom plus the apartment below. The balcony view was amazing with good sea view and a view of the village as well. Quite the hike up the hill to get... More

My partner and I spent a few days in Cinque Terre and I'm very glad we decided to stay in Manarola instead of Riomaggiore. The village was lovely and the room we got at Da Paulin was perfect for a few days, especially if you're going to be out enjoying the area most of the day. If you're staying a... More

we stayed for 3 nights and 4 days in manarola (2nd village in cinque terre) to escape the heat and crowds of rome and florence. we arrived without a booking and stayed at a different place each night. our favorite was the last night in Da Paulin's apartment with a balcony and sea view. it is a nicely decorated relatively...
