In the heart of the picturesque historic center of Manarola, at Via Belvedere, 168, stands La Stiva, a guesthouse that embodies the essence of Ligurian tradition. Located within a characteristic carrugio, the facility welcomes guests in a family-friendly and warm environment, where every detail is designed to celebrate the natural beauty of the Cinque Terre. Here, civic numbers are assigned based on the steps needed to reach the residences, transforming every arrival into a moment of discovery and curiosity.

After just a few steps, a breathtaking panorama unfolds before your eyes, offering a 180° view that ranges from the Montenero promontory of Riomaggiore to Punta Mesco of Monterosso. These are the unforgettable images that will remain in the hearts of visitors: the blue sea merging with the sky, in a play of light and shadows that varies at every hour of the day. The proximity to the coast, just 100 meters away, allows guests to savor the scent of the sea and the sound of the waves, while the train station can be reached in a few minutes on foot, facilitating the exploration of the surrounding wonders.

Opened in 2013, La Stiva is the result of the love for this place by Luisa and her family, who have provided their guests not only with comfortable rooms but also a sweet welcome with cookies and a selection of teas and coffees to make each stay unique and welcoming. Luisa, with her passion for reflexology and Reiki, along with the rest of her family, are eager to share their culture and history with those who choose to stay here.

The facility, immersed in a context of extraordinary beauty, is well-connected, not only through the railway network but also via trails that allow you to discover the various facets of the Cinque Terre. The coastal trail, known as the Via dell'Amore, and the Alta Via delle Cinque Terre, two of the most famous paths in the area, offer trekking opportunities that will enchant nature and photography enthusiasts.

In this enchanted corner, where time seems to stand still, La Stiva represents an ideal retreat for those seeking relaxation and authentic Ligurian beauty, a place where every stay can transform into a treasure to keep in the heart.

Everything was perfect, starting with the availability and kindness of Mrs. Luisa, even before we arrived. The property is very welcoming and clean, equipped with everything you might need. Convenient location to reach the train station and the sea, just a stone's throw from the "Via dell'Amore" trail. Recommended!

Kind and welcoming manager, property in the city center. To reach it, there are two roads, one less steep and the other with numerous steps. Charming place, spacious and very quiet room. I found a delightful package of artisanal biscuits and everything needed to make a coffee or a cappuccino.

Mrs. Luisa was very kind and extremely helpful. The room was spacious and very cozy. The only flaw was that it was cold for my taste. However, I recommend it.
