Palmaria Island Romantic Holidays

Not like what expected. The mattress wasn’t so comfortable

Fantastic breakfast. Lots of variety and great service. Beautiful views from all rooms and the restaurant. Trail into town is much better than the road.

Soggiorno piacevole in questa bella struttura Ma che avrebbe bisogno di una rinfrescata. Il valore aggiunto è la piscina e lo spazio verde esterno. Led sul letto comodo anche se il materasso troppo molle. Colazione buona, a mio avviso mancava un po' più di scelta sulla frutta fresca. Personale cortese e disponibile. Consigliato

Great location outside the centro parking station and easy to get on the trains for cinque terre for the day!

Excellente service

Property was as describe, view was perfect, easy to find. Very clean AC wasn’t the best, however, we visited from the US so our AC is very cold. We never saw the owners, they left check-in instructions. They were semi- responsive già whatsapp. Bed is a very firm mattess.

We had a wonderful stay at Arpaiu – Odeyo Sas in Manarola. Our room was charming, clean, and minimalist, with a window overlooking the south side of the marina from high above the village. One of our favorite memories was sleeping with the window open and listening to the waves crash against the rocks below—it was incredibly peaceful and almost meditative. Upstairs, there is a comfortable common area with Nespresso available 24/7 and an awesome outdoor deck with spectacular views of the cliffs and coastline. One important tip: pay close attention to the owner’s directions when arriving from the train tunnel! There is a much easier ramp leading up to the hotel. We saw other guests following Google Maps and struggling up the stairs with their luggage—not a fun way to arrive! Tatyana, the house staff, was wonderful. She prepared a delicious breakfast for us on our first morning and even took care of our dirty laundry for a very reasonable fee, which was especially appreciated while traveling. The location is also very convenient for quickly accessing the train and exploring the other Cinque Terre villages. Overall, Arpaiu was a wonderful and memorable stay. We highly recommend it and would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Manarola.

There is no front desk or staff available to help us with check in or carrying luggage up the stairs. We arrived after 7 pm. No one answered the bell that was in the directions and I didn’t realize that there was another set of instructions for later arrivals. A local helped us call the manager who gave us instructions for the keypad which was in a different building. We had a misunderstanding about the price because I believed that I had booked it in Canadian dollars but it was in Euros, and the manager got upset because I questioned the price. Housekeeping did not make the bed or provide fresh towels. The location is lovely, however, overlooking the beach.
