Recanissu Apartment with balcony and AC

Recanissu Apartment – Authentic Stay in the Heart of Vernazza, Cinque Terre

Welcome to Recanissu Apartment, one of the most characterful properties offered by Cinque Terre Riviera for travellers seeking an authentic holiday rental in Vernazza, in the heart of the Cinque Terre. The name — recanissu, meaning liquorice in the Ligurian dialect — is inspired by the unique details that make this apartment truly one of a kind.

Central Location with Iconic Village Views

The apartment sits in the very centre of Vernazza, overlooking the village's main street. From the long main balcony, guests enjoy spectacular views of the Torre Castle and the Muin a Ventu — Vernazza's most iconic landmarks — a perfect setting for breakfast in the sun or an evening aperitivo at sunset. The balcony is accessible from both the main double bedroom and the kitchen.

A second double bedroom (with beds that can be separated into twins) opens onto its own small balcony overlooking a charming internal caruggio — the narrow lanes typical of the Cinque Terre.

⚠️ Please note: The apartment is on the fourth floor of a historic building with steep internal stairs and no lift. We recommend travelling with compact luggage. Larger suitcases can be stored at the StayLuggage service in Vernazza.
