Giovanni Rooms Manarola

We booked on **********. The room is very spacious, with a comfortable double bed. There is a sofa, fold away table, mini fridge, space for coats and bags, and a modern bathroom. The bathroom is big by European standards, you don’t feel cramped. It’s built into the rock which means there are some interesting and attractive chunks of rock above the toilet and in the shower, I found them very cool. The TV only has Italian channels but that was ok for us. Giovanni speaks excellent English and is reachable via WhatsApp. You should know that you need to park at the entrance of the village, then walk down the hill. Bring a roller case or a LIGHT bag. I regret packing so much, it was a struggle getting back up the hill.

Camera molto carina e abbastanza moderna, posto nel centro di manarola, il proprio cortese e anche per il parcheggio ha pensato tutto lui,sempre disponibile e attento... locale pulito e silenzioso... Anche se non c'è la colazione ma nei dintorni c'è tutto

Giovanni Rooms Manarola (GRM) are perfect for your stay in the little village of Manarola. We drove to Manarola (from direction Genoa) and chose GRM as it was close to the top of the village where there is parking as Manarola is pedestrian. Good communication from Giovanni – quick, accurate and helpful. As a general observation it is a good set-up (location/keys/access/handover etc.) We walked from the carpark to the bell-tower, which was ＞5 mins (downhill) – met Giovanni, were shown to our apartment which is down a little side street. Giovanni kindly helped with luggage as the stairs are fairly steep from the ground floor. We had booked a city view room but Giovanni offered an upgrade to sea view for a small fee, which we accepted – I was glad we did as the view is like a painting [pic 1]! The amenities are all that one requires (I did not see an iron but I guess that can be facilitated on request). Room was lovely and clean, nice linen and décor – the young lady servicing the rooms did a great job, towel decoration was a nice touch ＜3 [pic 2] Manarola is very small so everything is within a short distance. Yes you have to walk uphill from the sea back to the apartment but that is to be expected! Overall I would recommend and would rebook should I return :) Manarola itself is a great place for hiking, beautiful sea-views, swimming and eating. There are a nice array of little boutiques and gift shops.

Attirate dalla bellezza delle camere abbiamo prenotato una notte per 10 persone tramite booking . Il giorno prima della partenza ci è stato proposto di pagare in contanti per ricevere uno sconto. All'arrivo, con molta amarezza, 7 di noi sono state accompagnate in un evidente appartamento di fortuna, malandato e molto vecchio, assolutamente non presente nelle immagini di booking. Se prenotate assicuratevi di non essere fregati.
