Perfecto!
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

Fabulous location
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.

Vernazza Casa Carla
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.

Great location - Highly recommend
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.

Vernazza Stay
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.

Incredible view of the entire City
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.

Slightly frustrating in a beautiful place
The first thing you need to know about this property is that it is 72 steps up. It was really hard to drag our luggage up. To check in, you have to go to town and find this guy who works in a restaurant. The address given is not the place. When I went it was wrong, but some old timers sitting outside asked me who I was looking for. I gave them the name, they instantly recognized it, and told me where to find him. (Charming experience.) I was unfortunate enough to leave my passport, id and credit cards behind when I checked out. I was miles away when I discovered this, and traumatized. I contacted the owner who was kind enough to go check for them in the unit. She said she would call me back. I waited. Finally, I called her and she said did not find them. Two days later on our way to the airport, the next guest contacted me to let me know she found them. My trip had to be cut short because of this. How I wish the owner had looked a little more closely. Of course, it is my responsibility not to leave things this important behind, but I would been able to finish my trip as planned if she had looked a little more closely. Vernazza is gorgeous, but there are flies to contend with. The flies made it hard to enjoy our outside space. You will not find a modern place in Vernazza, that is part of the charm. This place was dated, but clean and functional. We could not figure out how to use the coffee pot, though.

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.

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.

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.

Tired
It is in a great location and has lots of outside space. However everything is very tired and out of date. The upstairs patio chairs were so rusty they would break. No instructions in apartment on what to do with rubbish, nothing said at meeting with your rep. No tea towels, no washing pods for dishwasher. The shower in downstairs had no wall attachment and side of bath broken. This could be a beautiful place if some tender loving care given to it The fridge and freezer desperately need cleaning and replacing

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Carla. The Two floor apartment had everything we needed. There were 5 of us and if was great to have the privacy of two floors and two bathrooms! There was a small washer for laundry and we hung the clothes out to dry on the lovely terrace. There was early morning street noise and as others have mentioned you can hear the train. It wasn’t an issue for us. It was nice to have A/C too. Great location! Just up a few sets of stairs on beautiful back alley.

Best Italain stay
Paolo, our host, kindly greeted us while running his restaurant and gave us some pointers about the town. This 3 bedroom apartment is perfectly located up just a few steps to the top of the building with views of the train station and all the businesses in the Main Street. When all the tourists leave for the day, you will be glad you stayed. Great service. Great restaurants everywhere.

Just what we needed
Short walk from train station we checked in at the restaurant owned by VRBO owner. A helpful gentleman threw 2 of our bags on his shoulder and we started the steep pathway to Casa Carla. The steps mentioned in other reviews are no joke! I counted almost 100 from the Main Street and short walk to the beautiful piazza by the sea. Casa Carla was well worth the climb and Vernazza was more beautiful than I could ever describe! Just a suggestion to pack light if possible.

Comfortable Casa Carla
We stayed in the apartment for 3 nights. It was perfect for the four of us (there was even an additional bedroom where my son-in-law could work if necessary). It was very clean and exactly as pictured and described in the listing. We appreciated the well equipped kitchen and enjoyed breakfast on the terrace each morning. My daughter and I also enjoyed a glass of local wine on the terrace after our hikes. We received our booking confirmation promptly with instructions on how to check in. The owners were very friendly! The steps to Casa Carla weren’t a problem and neither was the noise from the train.

Decent place, could use better customer service
The hosts just completely stopped replying to our messages through the app after our initial inquiry into the non-functioning fridge when we first checked in, not did they answer literally any other messages during our stay. We didn’t even receive an answer when we inquired about how to check out. I had to try to call the host multiple times on the morning that we were supposed to be leaving, and when THAT was met with no answer, eventually my partner had to walk down to the Main Street to try to find the owners because we didn’t know what to do. This was stressful and pretty frustrating. The food at the restaurant owned by the hosts is wonderful. Best Trofie pasta and pesto we had in Cinque Terre, hands down. The unit was cool- It has its own little courtyard outside where you can see the town and is pretty spacious. It’s very close to the main town area and the train station, which is super convenient. The sound from the train station is super loud, especially at night/ Besides the sound of the trains coming and going, you can hear the “ding ding” of the doors closing & the announcements from the station speakers clear as day from like 6/7 am to midnight. The power kept going out & we didn't know there was a breaker by the front door to turn it all back on. When we got there initially the fridge was off and defrosting because of it. It happened (& the fridge kept shutting off) several times throughout our stay when we were sleeping or out so we decided not to use the fridge much as it didn’t seem like we could trust it. There aren't really any extra supplies, so bring laundry soap, paper towel, garbage bags, napkins, a new sponge, etc. Relatively clean unit overall, but the kitchen and its contents could have used a deep clean

The property is a unique 3 bedroom, 2 bath home. It is clean but needs a little bit of TLC. Lots of outdoor space. It is a good walk up and down from the home to the street. I would definitely rent again but pack lighter. You are in Vernazza. Both the home and location are beautiful and a great "start exploring" kick off point.

The apartment was great. The steps up to it were a bit daunting but we got the hang of it. The patio was large and it was nice to sit out there and relax. It is close to the train station which was loud, but they didn’t run late at night. The town was sweet and we would stay there again if we ever went back. Also, the owner was great as was the food at his restaurant.
