About this property
Casa Carla Beautiful private home with large terrace and gated entrance.
Casa Carla is on two floors with white marble floors, two double bedrooms and two bathrooms. One bathroom has a large bath. The house enters from the street, Via Carattino and is very private. It is just steps away from the main street and the beach. The furniture is of high quality and antiques. The outdoor space is on two levels with plenty of room for outdoor dining and lounging. You can come back from the sea and leave all wet towels and clothes to dry in the sun. We hope you enjoy it!

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay here for 4 days. The location is great, very easy to get to the center of town and to/from the train station. Yes, there are lots of stairs, but that goes without saying in Cinque Terre. While the inside of the apt is a little old, it was as expected in Vernazza. My husband and I loved sitting out on the terrace in the evening. A portable white noise machine helps drown out some of the train noise at night. We would stay here again.
Casa Carla offers great living space and a spacious outside patio. We were two couples, and we each had a comfortable bedroom with plenty of storage space and a nearby full bathroom. A smaller third bedroom has two single beds. As others have noted, you are near the train station, and you must climb many steps to get to the apartment. Paolo and Julia communicated with us clearly and even helped us reserve parking.
Casa Carla was perfect for our group of 5 people.
We loved sitting on the terrace, watching the people below and the trains come and go. It is quite a climb with luggage, but worth it.
Centrally located in Veenqzza, the uphill trek to and from Casa Carla really gives the impression of how the local lives. The property is perfect for family, the patio which overlooks the village is perfect for morning coffee or late night relaxing.
Comfortable and cozy.
The property is very much a part of Vernazza and Cinque Terre. We were greated by the host and escorted to the property and given a tour of the house. Beautiful views of town. Close to train station.
Wonderful base for our 6 night stay in Cinque Terre. 2 couples and we loved this apartment with 2 balconies. Paolo and Julia were great hosts and made check-in and out very easy. Lots of stairs to climb and train station nearby but this only added to the charm. Highly recommend this apartment.
We stayed at Casa Carla for 3 nights and absolutely loved it. Although you need to take quite a few stairs to get to the apartment it is well worth it. The views of the city and the main street are great. You are a short walk to everything Vernazza has to offer. The apartment beds are comfortable and it has everything you would need to make your stay special.
The house was as described and was clean and close to the trail. The deck was nice and spacious. It is recommended to agree on communication ahead of time as we had a minor question that was left unanswered through VRBO message; however, they have a restaurant in town so assume we could have gone into town to ask.
Pros: centrally located in the heart of Vernazza along the trail to Corniglia, comfortable for six people, awesome terrace, charming entrance, washer, Paolo was very friendly at check in. Cons: no dryer like the listing says (but you can hang clothes outside), lots of stairs (fine for us but would be difficult for the elderly or disabled), noisy with train and church bells, no communication about checkout.Overall a fantastic place--highly recommended!

Paolo was wonderful and kind host. The village of Vernazza was very charming and picturesque! The property was a little beat up- one of the windows wouldn’t shut and there was a storm that night the window was banging and it scared my youngest son. Although, you had to climb a significant amount of stairs to get to the property, it felt like it was straight out of a movie.
The renovated barn provides access to all Tuscany has to offer. From the cable cab in Certaldo to the exciting vineyards of the environs you have the opportunity to enjoy all. We loved the patio for sunsets, the barbecue for al fresco dining and the vistas of the country side. Gambassi provided a wonderful Enoteca for local wines and information. Leonardo spent time acclimating us to all the wonderful amenities. A perfect place for a extraordinary holiday. Great restaurants and vineyards close by. Highly recommended but be aware of the 1km gravel entrance drive.
This property housed our group well. Lots of space and beds. We loved the location despite the stairs! The locked gate gave us added security as we were a group of women. We did use the washing machine and felt very Italian by hanging our laundry out to dry. It was right off the Cinque Terre Trail and close To the train station. One member of our group was very sad that the coffee maker didn’t work. Great stay at a great price
We all loved this location and property. It's in a great location, except there are a lot of stairs. We found out there are a lot of stairs throughout Cinque Terre. I can't think of one thing we didn't like. The patio was great. It had a good view of the main street to watch the activities below.
It was clean, the host was helpful answering questions. We needed to check in at the restaurant, it is Tavern/Bar del Capitano. We had a bit of trouble finding it. Other than that our stay was perfect. The food at the restaurant was yummy.
I would love to go back.
Thank you for a great vacation.

Close to Everything
We stayed with friends for 3 nights at Casa Carla. Positives: close to everything in Vernazza, spacious apartment with nice outside terraces for relaxing.
Negatives: Very noisy. We were only 100 meters from the train station and the noise from that was problematic. Also, being on the main street, noise from garbage collection at 5am was also unexpected. The apartment was clean but very dated and there wasn't much interior sitting room for 4 people except at the table.
Another factor: There are a lot of steps to get to the apartment so hauling luggage up from the train was also a challenge.
Bottom line: apartment was adequate but nothing spectacular. Views of the ocean were limited.

GREAT, BUT NOT AS GOOD AS IT COULD BE!
The apartment has great potential in terms of its size, its wonderful outdoor areas and its location but we were disappointed with the cleanliness (eg fridge and cupboards), unkept promises (assistance with luggage on arrival) and the maintenance of the property. Trains were noisy but we got used to them and they almost added to the experience. Still had a great time and it was still a fantastic base from which to explore Cinque Terra, but a shame more attention has not been given to detail. There are 79 steps up from street level (not untypical in Vernazza) and in the week we were there, we witnessed multiple falls and injuries on one individual step, so climbing not for the physically faint and care needed on descent.
Great location. Very spacious. The patio seating area was a nice place to relax and view the Main Street. Would definitely recommend for a larger group.
Awesome location in the centre of Vernazza. Great home base from which to visit Cinque Terre by train or hikes. Great terraces with views for late afternoon drinks / aperitivo. Good communication with host, easy to connect, and very helpful.
We loved our stay at Casa Carla! Fantastic apartment with great village and people watching views. Paulo and Julia were wonderful as well! We hope to come back to visit again!
Stayed in Casa Carla 3 nights and enjoyed being in I believe one of the prettiest villages in Cinque Terra. Enjoyed drinks on the terrace each evening and staying in the heart of town however if you are not good with stairs this is not the place for you. Paolo was attentive with a few issues we had. Co - op (food store) literally downstairs for supplies. Memorable holiday with friends.
We loved the outdoor terraces. The apartment is a bit worn, but still a good place. There are A LOT OF STAIRS to climb to get to the apartment. We loved Vernazza and the Cinque Terre.
We liked the place. Short distance to everything. We stayed 3 nights and it was very good. It is a little bit noisy with the train, but I guess it is like that everywhere in the village.
