We stayed in Giovanni Rooms for a week and found our experience very enjoyable. Our room was very clean and it had been newly renovated. The view was amazing. The only thing we missed was a small balcony which I understand Giovanni will build next year. Giovanni was very helpful and went beyond duty to take us to Pisa Airport... More

We have just spent 2 nights here and were delighted with the accommodation. The rooms were clean, modern, spacious and secure. The view was just amazing. Giovanni was very helpful.Free , easy to use Wifi at anytime was much appreciated. Thanks and we will be back.

Manarola is an ideal spot in Cinque Terre. Giovanni is a good personable guy and the room was updated and adequate. HIs site was a bit misleading showing the larger room with a balcony however. I thought it was a bit overpriced but still a good place nonetheless.

We booked to stay in giovanni rooms after carefully researching which of the five towns we wanted to stay in. We choose manarola as we had heardnit was the prettiest and the leat effected by the landslides. However, there was a booking mix up, whereby i had sent Giovanni emails and was receiving blank emails back from him. I thought... More

Arriving in Manarola for your first time is a unique experience. The town is perched precariously on the side of beautiful mountains that spill into the ocean. Looking up the steep mountains is one thing but dragging your bags up them is quite another. Be prepared for a steep climb through the town to get to the meeting point at... More

We stayed 2 nights, and found it a perfect place- simple, large, very comfortable, with windows and a small terrace that opened onto the incredible view of the town, the tiny harbor and the sea. Plus a lovely kitchen that let us have breakfast or afternoon drinks on our own. All the Cinque Terra towns are a steep climb, so... More

We were there for 3 days and in the large 2 bedroom apt. The view is wonderful, and after visiting all the towns, we thought Manarola was the best town to stay in. Not too touristy and beautiful. Some of the other towns are still under construction from the mud slides in the fall. The apartment was clean, well equipped... More

We arrived in Manarola and was greeted by Giovanni. He was very nice. He took us up to our room. When he showed us our room it was quite underwhelming. There was no TV or iPod Dock as advertised. We stayed two nights in the room that did not have a sea view. Giovanni mentioned that because we were not... More

The things we liked were: Giovanni met us in the square and carried our bags to our room. Although it seemed a long way up a steep hill on first impression, in fact the location wasn't too far from the station/deli/shops and was much more convenient than where others were staying. Wine shop just down the road open late! Safe... More
