It is places like that help make the trip! Aria di mare is a great place to stay. Maurizio is very welcoming. We had a room on the first floor with a terrace. What a view! The room was clean and the bed comfortable. I liked that we had a fully enclosed shower which is sometimes hard to find in... More

Besides a great rate and a fabulous view, I was overwhelmed by how accommodating Maurizio was to us. We were concerned about parking. He walked a half mile with us to check that we had parked in an approved spot. Then he carried my luggage to the room. He was also very helpful with setting up our itineraries for each... More

We just spent 3 nights at Aria di Mare and are already trying to plan our return trip. Aria di Mare has many great points, and only one "negative". As others have mentioned it is near the top of Manarola... a bit of a hike up the hill. It should be doable by most visitors but if the thought of... More

Stayed 3 nights in early April 2012. After walking uphill to the top of lovely little Manarola, not finding the place right away but getting help from staff at Trattoria da Billy, friendly Maurizio oriented us to the room and recommended 2 hikes thatt we enjoyed over the next 2 days. We enjoyed his own wine on our terrace that... More

Great views, warm accommodations and a great location make this the perfect spot. Manarola is a great base from which to explore the area. Mauricio and family were gracious accommodating hosts. I got the upstairs room with the patio and amazing view. I had to step downstairs to use the wireless and the trek to the room from town each... More

My husband and I just spent 6 fabulous nights here and loved every second of it! We had a spacious room w/plenty of closet space, nice size bathroom, and private terrace overlooking the best view in the world! We always made sure to be "home" in time to watch the sunsets which were just awesome. Maurizio was a wonderful host,... More

We loved this place! The staff was super friendly, and they showed us all the great things to do in Cinque Terre. The room was wonderful- clean, spacious, modern. And the terrace was beautiful! Incredible view of the Sea, Corniglia, and Monterosso. I would certainly go back to Aria di Mare! More

Manarola was a picturesque town - everything we imaged the Cinque Terre to be and more. It is a bit of an uphill trek to get to the hotel, but it's well worth it. Aria di Mare, situated high on the hill, gave us sweeping views of the vineyards, the town, and the sparkling sea - exactly the panaroma we... More

We spent 4 days in December and it was amazing, perfect moment to appreciate fully the beauty of the cinque terre without too many tourists. The room was really nice, almost new, extremely clean, with an incredible view and Maurizio was a great host, always available for questions and advices. The village of Manarola is exquisite, with couple of really... More
