This is the prettiest apartment we stayed at in Italy 😍 Gaia is a very gracious host, and welcomed us warmly with a bottle of prosecco to boot. The beds were comfortable, bathrooms were luxe, and facilities worked perfectly. Location is also topnotch! A great homebase for visiting Cinque Terre. We were all glad we booked this, instead of staying in one of the five towns.
