Our Home on the Coast

During our week in the Cinque Terre we were very lucky to have stayed in a home  with incredible views. The house clung to the steep cliffs hanging over the primary "harbor" of the village of Manarola.  The house had three living levels. The house is entered from the top level which consisted of the kitchen, dining area, living room with a couch and a patio. The next level down contained a bathroom and two guest bedrooms. This is where Marlow and I stayed. A door to the outside stairway is used to reach the last level and the master suite with a large bedroom and bath where lily stayed. This level also has a long terrace with a table and a laundry room which also had a semi outdoor shower that we all enjoyed using after our swims in the Sea. 

Here are a few photos of the house.

The boat that ferries passengers among the five villages stopped just below the house. 

To locate our house start at the far right pink house and look to the left. It is the lowest house on that rock surface.
