Refilea Sea View Tower with Views

Refilea Sea View Tower Villa



A historic tower with sea view in the heart of Vernazza Cinque Terre



The Refilea Sea View Tower Villa is a unique and deeply authentic property, located in the heart of Vernazza. This ancient tower of the Cinque Terre offers a rare experience, made of history, silence and spectacular views, perfect for those who wish to live the village from an intimate and timeless perspective.



Purchased many years ago by a famous Italian writer and translator, known for bringing Agatha Christie's novels to Italy, the tower has been transformed into a creative and inspiring refuge. Even today, it retains that intimate and literary atmosphere that invites contemplation, writing, and slowness.



The villa is developed over five levels, as per the tradition of Vernazza towers. On the ground floor, there is a small bathroom with a shower and an essential kitchenette, equipped with an electric hob, microwave, and Nespresso machine, ideal for breakfasts and simple meals. The first floor hosts a welcoming living area with a table and a sofa that converts into a single bed. On the second floor, there is a double bedroom, quiet and well-furnished. The third floor is dedicated to a panoramic study, the creative heart of the house, with a bed that converts into a double bed (not separable) and large windows overlooking the sea and the village.



The true jewel of the Refilea is the panoramic terrace, accessible via an internal staircase: an exclusive space with a 360° view of Vernazza and the Ligurian Sea, perfect for an aperitif at sunset or to enjoy the silence and sea breeze.



The tower is rich in charm and authenticity, but should be chosen with awareness: it has steep internal and external stairs and the vertical layout makes the property unsuitable for guests with reduced mobility, very young children or elderly people. It is instead ideal for solo travellers, couples and small families with older children, looking for an unusual stay.



Domestic pets



Small and medium-sized dogs are permitted, with a supplement and in compliance with house rules. Dogs must be kept on a leash in common areas and are not allowed on beds, sofas or armchairs.



Five Terre Riviera Services



The stay includes a complimentary welcome breakfast for the first day and high-quality essential amenities, such as local extra virgin olive oil, salt, sugar, and compostable Nespresso capsules. Professional cleaning, attention to sustainability, and support from the concierge office in Vernazza are guaranteed, open from 9:30 to 18:30 (from mid-March to early November).



Important information



Check-in is in person and the arrival time must be communicated in advance (15:00–18:30). Arrivals after 18:30 may incur a supplement; check-in after 22:00 is not permitted.

By law, heating cannot be used from 1 April to 8 November.



Refilea Sea View Tower Villa is not just a holiday home, but a place of the soul: a tower suspended between sky and sea, where Vernazza tells its story through light, silence and its most authentic history.

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!

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.

Magical

Vernazza is absolutely charming, though if you come, be prepared for climbing stairs and fitting into tight spaces. The rooftop deck is a wonderful place to sip coffee or wine and admire the view.

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.

Amazing location and view!

We loved our stay in Vernazza. Everything was as described, and there was a bonus of coffee and pastries for the morning. Added amenities were shampoo/ Conditioner and body soap. The stairs are a lot, especially with luggage, but worth the work and effort. Appreciate that this was known in advance thru the description.

Unique Property with a Great View

Stayed here with two other friends and we loved it! Be aware there are many stairs on the way to the property and within the tower. The view from the terrace is well worth the stairs! The property manager left out complimentary jams and croissants for us and a picnic basket to bring up to the terrace. Highly recommend!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Great neighborhood and view, lots of stairs

The neighborhood was great! So close to train station. Place clears out in the evenings. House has authentic charm. The stairs are in the listing, but keep in mind they are uneven, twisting stairs and some with only a loose rope as a handrail. Our 10-year-old and husband both fell and had some bruises (normally not known as clubsy people)....so just something to be aware of. Check-in time was a limited window, and checkout procedures were a bit overzealous (potential charges if dishes not clean and away, charges if trash not separated, etc). The view from the deck is amazing! Great place to eat and also get away from the crowds. Kind property managers. Kitchen minimal - wouldn't plan to cook much. Thank you for letting us have this authentic experience!

Excellente option pour un court séjour. Nous avons passé une nuit en famille à Vernazza dans ce lieu atypique et plein de charme. Préparez-vous à monter et descendre de nombreuses marches, ce qui ne nous a pas gêné en raison de l'âge des enfants (12 et 17) et de la bonne communication faite en amont sur la maison. L'équipe qui gère la location est professionnelle, sympathique et très efficace. Beaucoup de monde à Pâques mais les touristes à la journée partent le soir. Nous nous sommes baignés. Eau fraîche mais très claire.
