Il Baluardo Sea View Apartment
A historic apartment with sea view in the tower of Manarola – Cinque Terre
Il Baluardo is a charming apartment located at the base of a historic 11th-century tower house, perched on the cliff in the most panoramic part of Manarola. An authentic and evocative place where history, sea and landscape merge into a unique experience in the heart of the Cinque Terre.
The building is the same one that hosts Lampara Sea View Terrace AC Apartment, which occupies the upper floors of the tower. The two properties can be booked together, offering an ideal solution for larger groups of up to 10 guests, with independent spaces and the right level of privacy.
The apartment is arranged over two levels. On the lower floor there is a bright and welcoming living area with two sofas (one convertible into a single bed), a dining table and a fully equipped kitchen with cooktop, microwave and Nespresso coffee machine. From here, there is access to a small panoramic balcony overlooking a spectacular setting: the Cinque Terre coastline, the rocks of Manarola and the cliff below, where the waves break, creating a lively and deeply Mediterranean atmosphere.
The upper floor hosts a bright double bedroom and a second bedroom with bunk beds, both equipped with ventilation. Independent heating ensures a warm and welcoming environment during the winter months, while fans guarantee a fresh and comfortable stay in summer.
Il Baluardo is ideal for couples, families and small groups looking for an authentic, panoramic stay away from the busiest tourist flows. Combined with Lampara, it represents a perfect solution for those wishing to enjoy the entire tower house of Manarola exclusively.
Pets
Small and medium-sized dogs are allowed, 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 or sofas.
Access and useful information
Manarola is a fully pedestrian village: the apartment can only be reached on foot from the railway station or from the parking area, with uphill sections and stairs. There are no taxis or internal transport within the village.
Check-in is not in person: all instructions and access details are provided before arrival. The arrival time must still be communicated in advance (15:00–18:30). Arrivals after 18:30 may incur an additional fee; check-in after 22:00 is not accepted. By law, heating is not permitted from 1 April to 8 November.
Cinque Terre Riviera services
The stay includes a free welcome breakfast for the first day, quality essential supplies (local extra virgin olive oil, salt, sugar and compostable Nespresso capsules), professional cleaning and attentive, sustainable management, in true Cinque Terre Riviera style.
Note on the natural environment
The property is located right next to the cliff, immersed in the marine nature. In some periods of the year, especially in spring, the waves may bring Velelle (Velella velella) to the coast: small marine organisms, rare and temporary, and a sign of clean sea and a healthy ecosystem.

Summary: This apartment is in a beautiful spot and was very clean. The layout is great with common space on first floor and two bedrooms and bathroom on second floor. The major downside is that the entire apartment smelled like a dirty diaper during our stay. We were told it was the septic system by the sea but even keeping the bathroom door closed did not lessen the odor. Thankfully we didn’t stay around the apartment except to sleep, but it’s a large price tag a place that smells so rough.
