Maemuna — Sea view and legend in the heart of Vernazza One of the most spectacular sea views in the Cinque Terre. Maemuna's windows look out towards the Grotta Maemuna, a hidden cove tied to an ancient Ligurian legend: it is said that a mermaid with an irresistible song would lure sailors towards those waters. The former owner, a passionate opera lover, would be taken by boat right inside the cave with a gramophone, to listen to opera amplified by the natural rock walls. THE APARTMENT One-bedroom apartment for a maximum of 3 guests: living room with fixed double bed, separate single bedroom, essential kitchen and bathroom. Newly installed air conditioning in the living room, sufficient for the whole apartment; ceiling fan in the single bedroom. Free WiFi. AN HONEST WORD OF ADVICE Maemuna is an authentic fisherman's house in the ancient heart of Vernazza, with all its charm and its limitations: a very small kitchen and a bathroom as compact as one on a boat. Perfect for those seeking atmosphere and views, not spacious living quarters.

Vernazza: A Timeless Gem of the Cinque Terre Vernazza is one of the most iconic and enchanting villages in the world. A place where time seems to stand still, with its pastel-colored houses, narrow alleyways, and a charming little harbor overlooking the crystal-clear sea. Travelers and lovers from all over the globe come here to experience its breathtaking sunsets and the romantic atmosphere that fills every corner of the village. The historical roots of Vernazza date back to the year 1000 when the village, then known as "Vulnetja," was founded by the people of Reggio, who sought refuge on the coast to escape barbarian invasions. In the 11th and 12th centuries, the territory was under the rule of the Obertenghi family before passing to the Da Passano and Fieschi families. In 1276, they sold all their rights over Vernazza and Corniglia to the Republic of Genoa, transforming the village into an important shipyard and strategic outpost. Even today, traces of Vernazza’s glorious past can still be seen in the imposing Genoese fortifications: the defensive towers at the entrance of the village, on either side of the current train station, and the reconstructed tower standing on the highest rocky promontory overlooking the sea. These ancient strongholds tell the story of a village that, despite the passage of time, continues to captivate everyone who visits. Staying in Vernazza means immersing yourself in the authentic beauty of the Cinque Terre, surrounded by spectacular landscapes, traditional flavors, and the warmth of timeless hospitality.
