Hey from Valentina

Member since December 2007 | 136,228 hits

My name is Valentina and I grew up in Corniglia. For a few years now, I have been running a shop that sells handmade clothing and accessories on Via Fieschi 119, located in the center of town and just a short walk from my apartment.

This year, I have also started renting out my place to tourists. If my guests need anything, they can find me at the shop.

Together with my family, we passionately work on our farm and vineyards, producing the typical white wine of our region and the famous Sciacchetrà dessert wine.

I have two children and enjoy traveling and sharing my travel experiences and the beauty of my hometown.

It was a great room, it was located in the central part of Corgnilia. It does say (Vernazza) but that is only a 5-10 minute train ride. There’s no AC, but there’s a fan provided! Overall, the host was very helpful and understanding. I would stay again!

This is a great little room, perfect for spending a few nights amidst Cinque Terre. The room is up many stairs, but so is the whole town, so you quickly get used to all of the climbing. Corniglia is the smallest and least crowded of the five Cinque Terre towns, which I really liked. Valentina was a great host and was happy to mind my bags in her shop for a few hours after checkout.

Our accommodation was fantastic, offering great value for money in a beautiful location. The host was helpful and kind. The place was also clean, and it was a pleasure to return to the apartment every evening. We would definitely come back if we could. Corniglia is a wonder, and "La Ginestra" is a true gem. Thank you very much!

The structure is located in a great position in the historic center, a stone's throw from commercial and public activities and the main street. From there, you can take the bus and reach the station in a few minutes. The structure is clean, with a small tastefully furnished room, as well as the bathroom. The price is great. Valentina and her husband, the managers of the structure, are very friendly and attentive to the needs of the staff.

La Ginestra is located in the center of Corniglia, the third town of the Cinque Terre. The accommodation is decent, equipped with air conditioning and provides the necessary for the stay (towels, electric kettle, cups). There is a small shared refrigerator at the entrance. The accommodation is ideally located for hiking to the west and east, allowing us to visit two towns a day. Good news, the best gelateria Alberto is just down the accommodation!

Lovely apartment, equipped with all the comforts (including soaps and detergents, not something common!) in the cozy historic center of Corniglia. Kitchen on the first floor with a panoramic terrace where you can have breakfast and dinner. Excellent location to explore the Cinque Terre 360 degrees, especially on foot for trekking lovers. Not recommended only for those with leg or joint problems, as there are very steep stairs to access it. For all others, it becomes an excellent daily step workout.

The bathroom is external, but for exclusive use, perhaps the bathtub with shower curtains is not the most comfortable, but these are details. The quality-price ratio is very high, the room is located in the very center of Corniglia in a quiet and peaceful position. Valentina was kind, helpful, and responded quickly to my messages. Absolutely recommended.

We had a very pleasant stay in the accommodation. It was very well located, very clean and of quality. The hotel took the time to show us the accommodation. A slight drawback regarding breakfast, given the reservation price and the bed and breakfast formula, we thought we would have breakfast in the morning, which was not the case. However, there is a small fridge to share and some cutlery to make it yourself. We still recommend this accommodation.

The owner was super friendly and very attentive, making sure I didn't lack anything. Since breakfast is not offered, she provided me with a kettle, dishes, coffee and tea. There was also a small fridge. Otherwise, the room was sparse but tastefully decorated. Everything was kept very clean daily. The view from the windows overlooks the back alleys of the village. The accommodation is therefore very quiet. A bit annoying, however, was the loud chair moving from the floor above. I would have liked a sound-absorbing flooring. I would gladly come back here.

First of all, there was no breakfast at all, which is a bit strange when you book a B&B. Second, it was Corniglia, not Vernazza, which was not absolutely clear from the advertising. Everything else was just as promised. The room is small. Double bed and small wardrobe. The kitchen was well equipped and complete.
