Reviews of Sole Terra Mare

The location is great, very clean and very friendly staff. I truly recommend this place if you want a nice, quiet location in the heart of Cinqueterre with amazing views.

Eleonora was a fabulous host and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. She also helps with purchasing the cinque terre hiking and MS cards and offers a discount when purchasing through here. The balcony was fabulous and the view was one of the best for any accommodation we have stayed at.

Comfortable apartment lovely view from the balcony friendly and helpful host.

Nothing

This was a comfortable place with a hospitable and helpful host, with lovely views and with a well-equipped kitchen! I highly recommend this if you are looking for a place in quiet and lovely Corniglia. There are convenient places nearby for coffee, meals and gelato.

Watching sunset from the balcony while having a drink and meal was an absolute winner. Eleonora was very responsive (in person and on WhatsApp) and providing lots of information and assistance. The accommodation, especially the kitchen, felt very thoughtfully put together. Corniglia as a location is wonderfully quiet compared to the other towns

Nothing to dislike about the accommodation. Make sure to bring insect repellent for your trip. Also watch out for slippery cobblestones. The entire area is also reasonably expensive due to tourism.

The balcony is beautiful. The kitchen is well equipped. Bed is comfortable.

Nothing! It was amazing.

Amazing location with amazing restaurants around.. easy access to Cinque Terre. Beautiful view. Clean apartment with everything you need. Eleonora was a great host.

Everything was amazing

Our stay at Eleonora's was absolutely fantastic! Eleonora is a wonderful host, she advised us on where to go and what to see and gave us a map and some great tips on how to do the different hikes and where to go to eat. She was always available on WhatsApp whenever we needed help and she let us leave our luggage in the room a little longer after check out so we could go have a late breakfast. The room was super cosy and very clean, we had everything we needed. The bed was extremely comfortable, the bathroom modern and spacious and the fridge, coffee machine and coffee capsules a great bonus. The view of the village and sea from the terrace was awesome and the pretty little garden up the stairs was lovely. We loved coming back in the evenings after a long day hiking and exploring. Corniglia ended up being our favourite village, it's location in the middle of the five and it's peaceful nature was a perfect base for many hiking trails. Thank you so much Eleonora! We really hope we get to come back again someday!😊

Nothing not to like

Everything was perfect. The room has everything you need. It looks even better than in pictures. The location was great. Thank you so much Eleonora:)

It was definitely a less busy place, we wanted a quiet location. It was a lovely walk up the many steps from the train station. If you found it too hot or you just didn't want to do the climb there was a bus that ran frequently to the village square. The local people were friendly, especially the couple who ran the wee supermarket in the square. Our accommodation was easy to find as our host was excellent in her communications.

Although it is wonderful to hear church bells, all night long is a bit much, especially if you were the one sleeping on the second floor.

Eleonara was so lovely, and this room in her guest house was fantastic. The bed was comfy, the little fridge and cappuccino maker made having breakfast in very easy. And the views were phenomenal. Highly recommend staying there!

The only things I would have changed (and none of these would prevent me from staying again) are that the pillows are pretty awful, kind of like folded up blankets, and that one week is a long time without any housekeeping/the garbages being emptied. It also would have been great to have some dish soap and a dish cloth (there’s a tea towel, but no cloth) to better wash out the jug for the cappuccino maker and to wash the provided mugs/dishes.

I loved everything about the place! Very clean and perfect location. Apartment had more than what I needed or expected! There is a wonderful cafe just down from the apartment.

nothing!

The apartment was very spacious and the views extraordinary. Being in Corniglia was perfect for easy access to the other towns. Eleonora was quick to respond to any queries and a delightful host.

n/a

Our stay at Sole Terra Mare was superb and our hostess Eleanor was a most charming and helpful lady. She made our stay here as enjoyable as possible. The apartment was very well equipped for your needs and cooking was easily done. The sea view from the balcony has to be seen to be thoroughly appreciated. We would recommend Corniglia and the Sole Terra Mare to anyone and will tell our friends and family to go there!

Corniglia is basically built on the side of a cliff and is absolutely gorgeous, but has slopes and stairs in every direction, so if you're not up for the exercise this is probably not for you. The train station has 360+ steps to ascend to get to the village, but there is a bus for the very short vertical ride! We loved it here and were fascinated by the villages winding alleyways . Make sure that you know where the apartment is before you set off with your bags, it is easy to get lost and everywhere is up or down a slope / set of steps!
