Clelia Apartments - Stella Marina Corniglia

The Stella Marina apartment in Corniglia is simply perfect, large enough to comfortably sleep four people, centrally located, and with a stunning view of the mountains and sea. Comfortable beds, a huge living room, and the only drawback, for light sleepers, is the church bell that chimes the hours, but otherwise, the village is very quiet. The kitchen is fully equipped and you can organize lunches and breakfasts there, although due to COVID, you'll need to bring everything (salt, oil, sugar, coffee, etc.). Otherwise, there are many excellent restaurants nearby and two small shops right on the doorstep. Corniglia, in my opinion, is the most charming village because in the evening it empties of passing tourists and takes on a unique charm. Organizing with the hotel in Deiva Marina is easy, with the option of leaving your car and traveling by train, a solution I recommend to avoid the huge parking problem. The owners can give you excellent advice on activities.

Its central location is good and convenient, but it's cramped and poorly ventilated, with a windowless room. The double bedroom lacks bedside tables and lights, the underbed space is incredibly dusty, and there's no light in the hallway. The hostess is very kind, and there's plenty of linens available. Bring your own hair dryer, as there's an old one that only works for 5 seconds.
