Il Centro is a small, family-run facility with two recently renovated bedrooms, simply but comfortably furnished. We had the idea of renting out rooms when we renovated our family home, a typical tower-house on the main street in Manarola’s old town. The rooms are in a peaceful area close to the sea and the main restaurants and shops, a short distance from parking lots, train station, bus stops and boat pier. We are a couple from Cinque Terre who has chosen to invest in our ancestors’ land, staying in Manarola and carrying on our tradition of vineyard and olive growing.
