An ideal base to visit 5-Terres attractions: a quiet location 10 minutes walking distance from Levanto town centre, and 5 minutes from the train station that serves 5-Terres. The breakfast was fine, with a good food selection and a possibility to have pancakes, fried eggs etc. on order. Free parking nearby with owner's parking permit; a veranda to have a drink or a snack in the sun (or dry up clothes). We appreciated owners' advice on what to visit and do in the region; they also provided us free bicycles for a very nice trip along the coast.

The room was a bit dark.

Our room was very clean with a comfortable bed and had all we needed. It was cleaned each day and made our return feel special. The delicious breakfast each morning along with Luca’s presence and help with anything we needed made Affittacamere Mariella the best place to stay. Also having access to the bikes was an added bonus for trips into town or to nearby locations (i.e., Bonnosolo, Framura). Levanto is a lovely town and a great jumping off point to explore Cinque Terre.

Nothing

A proper family-run establishment, where the guests actually feel like they are in an Italian home. If your plan is to visit Cinque Terre, but not to stay at the villages, this place in Levanto is ideal. Luca & his parents were our host, and they were very nice, hospitable and friendly. There's parking well outside the ZTL, wifi, quick access to the railway station, well kept rooms with AC... One could not ask for more. Highly recommend this place, especially if you don't like the ultra-commercial offerings in and around Cinque Terre.

We had a wonderful 3-day stay in Levanto, made even more special by our amazing host, Luka. He was incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready with great tips on where to enjoy authentic local food. The room was spotless and comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was perfect—just a short and easy walk to Levanto station, making it very convenient for exploring the Cinque Terre. Highly recommended!

Very Friendly Host, Absolute recommending for Others

Lovely little family run B&B close to station and the lovely bars and restaurants in Levanto. Excellent home cooked breakfast with fresh cake & pastries every day. Luca was so helpful with lots of recommendations on places to see, transport options and places to eat. Parking available too! Rooms very traditional & had everything you need including aircon, a fridge and a safe. Excellent value for money too.

If I had to pick something… Bathroom a little small but not really an issue for a few days

We had an amazing stay at Afficatamere Mariella now for the second time already! We love the place so much, and Luca and his family are the most welcoming and lovely hosts 😊❤️ We love that we could use the bikes to get around and the breakfast was super! Thank you, and we cannot wait to be back for our next stay!

Very gracious hosts. Luca answered all questions and gave us recommendations for our stay. Always pleasant and helpful. Loved the bikes!! That was an added bonus. Breakfast great 👍 Terrace up top was nice also to sit out and have a drink or coffee

Everything was fine. If I’m being picky, only thing is the pillows were a bit hard.

The apartment was close to the station. There’s a supermarket nearby and it’s a short walk to the centre of town. We had a small kitchen so did not take advantage of the breakfast option but if it was as good as our studio it would have been excellent. The host, Lucca is very attentive and always available to share information on the area. Levanto is a destination in itself, the added attraction of Bonassola and the Cinque Terre is a bonus

Nothing to dislike

Luca was very gracious and accommodating. Luca greeted us mid afternoon and explained the particulars of Mariella’s, and the facilities near us (grocery/restaurants), and that we could call if we needed anything else. Our unit was rather spacious, very clean, quiet, air-conditioned,and came with a mini-fridge. On the second day, Luca provided us with bikes, which we used to see some amazing scenery. The breakfasts were excellent…including starting the day with a cappuccino! Very convenient location…a 5-10 min walk to the station and 10-15 min from downtown. We were also able to use their clothes line to get some much needed laundry done.

Though the bed was relatively firm, I might say I’d prefer a slightly firmer bed. But my wife felt it was fine.

A great stay with an Italian family. Very relaxing. Luca the host was outstanding offering advice if asked, bikes , sunshades and umbrellas if needed.Very generous breakfast with fruit, eggs cooked fresh to order and delicious cakes and bread.well done Luca’s Mum.

Didn’t like walking final stretch of narrow pavement at night. Poor street lighting
