WHO WE ARE

Hi everyone!

I'm Giovanni, from Manarola, one of the best places you'll ever visit. I recently started my new landlord business called "Il Bordone", from the surname of my family, one of the oldest in Manarola, my town.

​

My goal is to welcome all people who want to visit the beautiful Cinque Terre, offering them the best and most comfortable space to spend the most pleasant of stays here, with all the help and information they may want or need. I really hope you will decide to come and visit me and my home and if you choose me as your guest I promise to do my best to guarantee you the best time here in my country.

​

As a local I am more than ready to share everything I know about life in the Cinque Terre with you. And I also promise you that we will not refrain from trying my family's wine, made with grapes grown by us, which is definitely an experience within an experience.

​

About me, I studied languages in Venice and worked extensively here in Manarola. I really enjoy traveling and sharing my experiences and all that I have learned by visiting places and above all by meeting people.

I am a cheerful person, very respectful and open minded. I also like music a lot and I play a little guitar.

Another thing that I also really like is speaking other languages and learning new ones.

I am more than ready to learn yours if you will teach me.

 

As I said before, about hosting I would really like to take this opportunity to let everyone know more about the history of this area and our customs.

Rest assured right now that you are more than welcome!

 

I can't wait to meet you!  

GUEST REVIEWS

Book here immediately !! Do not think twice! We couldn't have been more impressed with staying in Giovanni's beautiful new apartment with the most AMAZING view of the town + water. Giovanni thought out every detail to make sure our stay was perfect. It was like having a private concierge service instead of just an Airbnb. The bathroom + shower was perfect and new; the kitchen had everything we needed; and there was privacy for two best friends staying in the same apartment (with a sliding glass door conveniently separating the living room / couch and the bedroom). But almost more importantly than perfection from the apartment; the view was how charming and welcoming Giovanni is. He offered to do everything for us- from booking restaurants to setting up tours- and he is genuinely a thoughtful, detail-oriented person. He made sure we went out at night to meet all the locals and introduced us to his extremely talented friends in town playing live music. We were charmed. It was worth our whole trip to Italy just to stay in his apartment. Thank you Giovanni!
