Manarola is the most photographed village in the Cinque Terre. Its coloured houses stacked on black cliffs above the sea, its ancient vineyards, and its proximity to the Via dell’Amore make it one of the most sought-after destinations in Liguria. Our properties sit in the most scenic part of the village, inside and around an 11th-century tower on the cliff.
