How to reach us
By car
In order to arrive at Manarola by car, it is necessary to pass from the city of La Spezia (exit La Spezia if you take the highway). Follow the indications for Cinque Terre and take the street which leads to the five villages. Once you have crossed Riomaggiore, you will find a roundabout that leads to Manarola. It is not possible to enter in the Manarola historic center by car, as for all the Cinque Terre towns. It is necessary to leave the car in the taxing parking outside the town (almost 300 meters from the house). Little more distant, there is also a free parking on the sides of the street that leads to Manarola, but you have to pay attention to the street signals in order to avoid fines. In high season period it could be difficult to find parking, because of the great affluence of tourists; for this reason we recommend visiting Cinque Terre by train.
To reach the house from the car parking, you have to take the main street toward the town centre. Few meters after the town entrance and before to reach the church of San Lorenzo, on your right you will find a small stone bridge. Go over the bridge and you will arrive in Via dei Molini; take the small street on the left and after few stairs you will find Sentieri sul Mare at the number 19.
