United States of AmericaThe property has 5 rooms. We came with friends and booked 3 of them. I had one with a queen size bed and it was very comfortable, my friends room had a double bed and they felt it was small. Other than that the property is nice, cozy, in a great location with an amazing view. The shared terrace upstairs was very nice and convenient with coffee and tea.

United Arab EmiratesAwesome location in Manarola with a view overlooking the harbor and coastline. Easy to access. We parked nearby and walked the 15 minutes to town. The directions provided by the property owner were spot on and easy to navigate. We met the exceptionally nice cleaning lady the next morning who was as friendly and helpful as can be.

United States of AmericaWe really liked the aesthetics! It’s super beautiful! The location is so nice! Even though it’s a lot of stairs to get to! Definitely worth it! The staff was super friendly and definitely made the stay very enjoyable! She does an excellent job!

United KingdomGreat location. The top floor outdoor deck has amazing views. Tatiana, onsite staff, is absolutely lovely and very helpful. Just be aware that if you get the family studio it is in the basement and has no windows to the outside. It is by far the largest room and has a private entrance, but it is a little cave like with all of the stone and lack of windows.

Host Info
Host Review Score
8.5
arpaiu is the local name of a tiny site characterized by an amazing sea view dominating the open sea and the 5 Terre coastline, watching over the small Manarola harbour. The area and its buildings formed the most important part of Manarola Medioeval Castle that has been built in the Xth century and destroyed by an overwhelming battleships fleet from Genova in the XVth century. Since Castle destruction arpaiu main building stayed in ruins. There was not much left of it, apart from the ground floor thick medioeval dry stone walls and arches, when our family bought and restored it in 1955. Much work was done in order to bring arpaiu back to its original four floor tower-house size. During 2001 we started a new renovation project that ended in late spring 2003. We renovated ground floor as well as other rooms in June 2019 adding AC to all rooms and common areas All the works have been conceived in order to guarantee the respect of the environment and of the building origins.
BY TRAIN: Manarola train station: walk through the tunnel, at the end turn right (up hill), after 15 meters turn right again and walk up hill till you will be in front of the sea: arpaiu Room rental is in Via Belvedere n. 196). BY CAR: you'll find at the end of the way SP370 to Manarola a car park. Once parked, walk down the village till you will find the pharmacy: Via Belvedere is just in front of the pharmacy, walk up hill till Via Belvedere n. 196.
