Il Sogno di Manarola by the First

Amazing view!

Gorgeous position. Large terrace with spectacular views. Peaceful oasis from the crowds in July. Excellent suite with daily cleaning. Only improvement would be a small fridge instead of the tiny mini bar. Highly recommend for a stunning stay with some peace and quiet and lots of sun.

The First. After reading some mixed recent reviews, I was a little apprehensive, but our experience turned out to be pleasantly better than expected. Be aware that the walk up to the property, especially with luggage, is quite strenuous—pack light and be prepared for steep bitumen hills and stairs. We had planned to use the advertised luggage service, but unfortunately, it’s no longer available (the website hasn’t been updated to reflect this). However, as we were leaving for the train station, we discovered a local luggage transport option nearby. I’ll include a photo of the details to help future visitors. Our room, 212, was spotlessly clean, well-appointed, and had absolutely stunning views of this beautiful part of the world. Breakfast was delivered to our room each morning—fresh, generous, and a great start to the day. Communication was handled via WhatsApp, and we found responses to be prompt and helpful. Keep in mind that English isn’t their first language, so what some may interpret as abrupt may simply be direct communication.

It is a long walk from parking area to hotel. Up and down big hills

Most incredible view! Beautiful room and surrounding area!
