In planning a trip to Italy and following Rick Steve’s recommendations, we decided to spend three days in Vernazza. We learned about Giuliano Basso's accommodations from Rick Steves' Italy 2009 book. His description read: “4 pleasant rooms, crafted with care, just above town in the terraced wilds (sea views from terraces), straddling a ravine among orange trees, it’s an artfully... more

Two couples -- booked two rooms with Michele and Giuliano -- one of which was the small cottage. We could not have been more pleased. This is a little slice of heaven and so obviously the pride of Giuliano. Michele is a perfect hostess. Yes, there is a hike to the rooms, but if you are in the Cinque Terre,... more

Stayed 2 nights in September, it was a perfect little getaway. The room was simple and elegant and very Italian in style and the terrace a lovely place to watch the sunset with a bottle of wine, we spent one night sitting on the terrace looking at the stars and watching the bats flit around overhead - beautiful. We were... more

Our stay in Vernazza was for 4 nights and 5 days, and we were immediately welcomed into the 'Vernazza family' by Giuliano and Michelle! We stayed in the private cottage with our own private terrace, which has an amazing view of the sea, lemon tree gardens and grape vineyards! It is nicely tucked away from the main square, only a... more

We loved this place and would definitely stay here again if we ever go back. The best part of the place is likely the terrace. We sat outside with the other couples that were staying there and drank wine on several occasions. You can see the water from the terrace...beautiful view. There is a shared kitchenette that has a fridge,... more

Stayed for 2 nights in one of Giuliano & Michelle's rooms and loved it. The room was clean, the bed comfortable and the terrace was great to watch the sunset with a bottle of wine. There are a few steps to get there but Giuliano was on hand to help carry one of the ports and after that the experience... more

The accomodations were clean, rustic and spacious. The washroom was modern however quite cramped.The bed was comfortable and the air conditioning pleasant. The terraces are beautiful as they overlook the surrounding area. It is a tough climb- steep with lots of stairs from the train station. Our hostess Michele graciously carried one of our heavy bags for us. She is... more

A beautiful guest house in an amazing location. Cannot recommed camere giuliano highly enough. Both Guiliano and Michelle are perfect hosts. Truly the best place to really relax. Stunning views from the terrace. Spotless room, very good airconditioning. If you have the chance stay in vernazza at Camere Giuliano. more

Definitely the place to stay in the CT. Actually on the hiking trail and worth every step up the stairs. Minutes from everything yet off the beaten path. Room was clean, comfortable and decorated imaginitively in the style of the area. The owners, Giuliano and Michele were a pleasure and very helpful. Highly recommended! more
