La Lampara Sea View Terrace Apartment with AC

La Lampara is a charming apartment occupying the two upper floors of a historic 11th-century tower house in the heart of Manarola, one of the most picturesque villages of the Cinque Terre. The name recalls the lampara, the traditional Ligurian fishermen's lamp, a symbol of light and guidance along the coast. The timeless atmosphere of this historic space blends with modern comforts and breathtaking views of the Ligurian coast.

The lower floor houses the sleeping area: double bedroom with sea view, twin bedroom with two single beds (joinable as a double on guest request) and a full bathroom with shower, gas boiler and washing machine. The upper floor is a bright open-plan space with a living room featuring a single sofa bed, dining area, fully equipped gas kitchen with Nespresso and a private panoramic sea-view terrace.

Amenities: Wi-Fi · Air conditioning · Gas kitchen with Nespresso · Washing machine · Full bathroom · Private panoramic terrace · Access on foot only from station or car park.

Can be combined with Il Baluardo (lower floors of the same tower) for groups up to 10 guests.

Environmental note: the property is located right on the cliff edge. At certain times of year, especially in spring, Velella (Velella velella) — small marine organisms — may appear along the coast, a sign of a clean sea. Their presence can occasionally produce a slight organic scent in the air, entirely natural and temporary.
