“Exceptional”
We had a wonderful stay here! The apartment was clean and comfortable, and the staff were very helpful and welcoming. The location is superb, just a minute’s walk from the famous Ligurian tower houses. If you’re planning to visit all five villages, I would highly recommend staying here. Its central location makes it an ideal base, with easy access to the other villages. Another highlight was visiting the tower houses at night, which offered a completely different experience and some beautiful photo opportunities. A lovely bonus is that the owner also runs a souvenir shop and offers guests a discount on their purchases. It’s a nice personal touch that makes the stay even more enjoyable. Overall, a fantastic experience. I would definitely recommend this place without hesitation!

“Great place & terrific hosts”
Liked: This little place was great, his was fantastic!! We booked 2 nights but only needed up staying 1, room was a great size, comfortable & clean. Town was much smaller than I remember, so only 1 night needed.

“Perfect stay in charming townhouse”
Liked: L'Emporio Rooms in Manarola was a perfect place to stay. Beautifully designed and run with the clear ambition of giving their guests an exceptionally comfortable stay. The founder Leonardo and everybody who worked at the shop downstairs and the rooms were remarkably attentive and dedicated to the whole project.
Disliked: I liked every aspect of the stay. If you are a large-sized person, you will probably find the shower rather small.

“Amazing”
Liked: Our stay at L’Emporio Rooms was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and comfortable. The room was exceptionally clean, beautifully maintained, and peaceful, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy our time in this beautiful area. One of the highlights of our stay was the host, who was incredibly kind, friendly, welcoming, and helpful. You can truly feel when someone puts their heart into making their guests feel at home, and that was exactly our experience here. Their warmth and hospitality made our stay even more special! Everything was perfect: the cleanliness, the peaceful atmosphere, and the wonderful hospitality. It is rare to find a place where you feel so comfortable and genuinely welcome. L’Emporio Rooms exceeded our expectations in every way! We would absolutely stay here again without hesitation and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, quiet, and welcoming place to stay. Thank you for making our stay so lovely and memorable! ❤️ We are leaving with beautiful memories and a big smile. A well-deserved 10/10 – simply outstanding! ✨

“Even if we can't return we will refer people again and again to this property and the owner Leonardo”
