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.

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

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.

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

A very pleasant family run (2nd generation) b&b well situated in Levanto. 500 mtrs from the train station, an ideal position to explore the Cinque Terre region (reachable only by train). Luca the host is a very kind person who cares for his guests and does everything to make them happy, giving them many tips and information. His mother prepared every morning scrambled eggs for us. The room is situated in their house and is big, bright and very clean. Same goes for the bathroom. The breakfast was served either in the semi closed, heated veranda (when it wasn't too cold for us, still mid April with a rather chilly weather in the mornings) or in the kitchen which is very cosy. The breakfast was very rich and varied, a special note given to their fresh crispy bread, a real feast for bread lovers like me. A free public parking is available right across the street, a big plus for those coming

Nothing I could think of.

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

Very nice room with well equipped kitchen. The apartmen is a bit far from the beach to walk, but we got free bikes from Lucas father. It was just perfect and solved all the transport questions. Parking is not a problem - we could leave a car in the parking nearby. Luca is very hospitable and helpful, thank you very much!

Mosquito-nets on windows would be great, since we couldn't open the windows at night.

Fantastic location, just walk distance to train station, safe, cozy and friendly. Breakfast was delicious, they served homemade baked cakes in addition to the regular breakfast spread.

This is our 3rd time at Affittacamere Mariella. It is family owned and run and they make us feel like we are part of their family. Breakfast is good and the room is comfortable and good sized. The bed is very firm which I like and it is a large bed (not kicking your partner in the middle of the night.)

Our host Lucas was a real helpful and kind person. So thankful for his kindness.

The mattress can be upgraded to a full mattress and not 2 mattresses to make a larger bed But for one night it would have been acceptable enough.
