Refilea Sea View Tower with Views

Refilea Sea View Tower Villa is an enchanting, curious property in Vernazza. Cinque Terre. Its guests will have the feeling of renting something really special. The same feeling that brought, many years ago, a translator and writer to buy  this property and make it her exclusive and quiet retreat.

The House
Refilea Sea View Tower Villa occupies a typical Cinque Terre Building, ground floor to roof terrace it has 5 floors.

Starting from the bottom past the front door we have a tiny bathroom with shower (boiler is connected to gas boiler so continuous water is guaranteed). The corridor opens on a small kitchenette and steps start taking us up to the following floor where we have a lovely sitting room with table and couch. The Couch can turn into a single bed.

Then steps up and we have a lovely and quiet double bedroom. Let's go up and we have an amazing studio with table and bookcase that still witness the love for books of the owner. She spent here hours and hours translating into Italian the most adorable Agatha Christies detective novels. The view from the the window could not  but inspire here. In her studio we have a single bed. This room has windows with views both on the sea and the village. West the window overlooking the waves,  East the window showing us the now non-sacred Frati Church and the Town Hall.

A ladder takes us up to the masterpiece of the villa, a tiny, breathtaking  roof terrace that will pleasantly surprise anybody. Here the winds will always cool guests tender moments.

Good To Know
Refilea Sea View Tower Villa has lots of steps! Both on coming up from the the main street to reach it along Via Carattino and inside the building. Against many pleasant and positive aspects in renting this property, you have to keep in mind that bathroom and kitchenette are at the bottom so it might be something not appreciated by all the guests. We advise not to rent this property if you have mobility issues. It's an authentic local tower house, so  its authenticity and charme do not get along with modern comforts!

Why Choosing it
Refilea views are charming and unique from every corner of the house. It is ideal property for solo travellers, couples and small families. Not recommended for toddlers and small children!

Great location. Ocean view from the top deck
Great location in Vernazza, near the harbor area. Great view from the top deck. Be prepared…the description is true. Counting the top, it is 5 very small levels. Very small kitchen area and small bathroom on the bottom. Couch and small table on the second level. Bedroom on the third. Twin bed on the 4th.

Great place in Cinque terre
4 of us stayed for 3 nights and explored the towns in Cinque Terre . Vernazza was a great home base, with lits of great restaurants and cafes. It poured rain while we were here, and we were comfortable lounging around until the weather cleared. We would all recommend this place to stay!

Such a cool and unique space with an ocean view!
Loved this apartment! Very unique and well located. Clean and well stocked. Roof terrace was wonderful for enjoying a drink in the evening with a view. Located on the trailhead to Corniglia which was nice for a morning hike. Train station is right there. Check in process was easy, their office is nearby and the property managers were very helpful throughout our stay with any questions we had about the area. There are a lot of stairs to reach the property and even more inside so just keep this in mind but this was not a problem for us. Overall this place checked all the boxes for us. The management company manages several properties in Cinque Terre and if I came back I would definitely use them again. Thank you for a great stay!

Amazing property
This property is amazing! It has great views and you can walk everywhere. The train station is just a few minutes away and the Mediterranean is just a walk through town. Loved it here! See my photos on Instagram Sealevel1

Cinque Terre stay
This was a great apartment in the perfect location, right on the hiking trail to Corniglia. The rooftop terrace is really relaxing, loved sitting up here and listening to the waves crashing on the rocks. Beautiful view too. Great customer service from the property management team. One thing to just be aware of is that there are a lot of steps inside the apartment - 50 steps total from the ground floor to the rooftop terrace.

Honeymoon
The apartment was great! There are 4 small floors and a small private balcony on the 5th floor (roof). It’s right off the main part of town and is directly on the trail to Corniglia, so if you want to hike the trail connecting the cinque terre towns, you’re also right there. The view from the roof is amazing. I would definitely stay there again!

The place is exactly as advertised. Lots of steps, but that is Cinque Terre and adds to the charm. The house was comfortable and was perfect for us. The view from the roof is spectacular.

Stay in Vernazza while hiking
This was the perfect place to stay while my cousin and I hiked Cinque Terre. The apartment location was wonderful with an excellent view. It is right on one of the trails. You have to go up several flights of steps to get to it, but if you're there, you're already aware of steps all over the place. When you go down to the town, you're right there in minutes. The price was very reasonable and we had everything we needed. I hope to go back and would happily stay in the exact same place.

Adorable stay in Vernazza
The property was centrally located between the train station and the waterfront. While the kids loved swimming and eating gelato at the pier, my favorite thing was to sit on the rooftop patio and make sure the ferries were on time. We loved it and would use this company again.
