The space
Toast the beauty of the Cinque Terre coastline from IL CIASSO's private terrace suspended over the vibrant blue Mediterranean Sea.

Upstairs, the bedroom boasts panoramic views in two directions, south over the sea and north over Vernazza's multi-coloured pastel houses and terraced vineyards dotting the hillsides. The interiors are a design lover’s dream offering every comfort in a cozy space.

Tucked away in a quiet corner of Vernazza, descend the steps to reach the main street of the beautiful medieval village of Vernazza to enjoy hiking, swimming, a boat trip, kayaking, biking or taste delicious local food and wine.

PLEASE NOTE
If you want an extraordinary view in Vernazza, you have to earn it: there are 75 stairs to arrive from main street via Roma to IL CIASSO. In addition, IL CIASSO is a two-floor penthouse with a staircase connecting the two levels, with the bedroom upstairs and the living areas and bathroom on the first level. If you have mobility issues or toddlers, this may not be the right place for you.

The bathroom is small, as compared to American bathrooms, but guests love the water pressure in the shower, lots of storage space and the custom slate countertop and flooring.

IL CIASSO can be combined with CARATTINO 12 for a family and friends vacation retreat.
