Donatella was a perfect hostess. She and her husband have the best rooms in Manarola. This is the best of the 5 towns to be your base. It is quiet in the early morning and evening. It is a small town but has huge character. This is where I'll stay on the next visit.

Unfortunately we had to cancel our booking with Donatella in the end, but I cannot be grateful enough for replying quickly to our e-mail showers! She sent us all the information we needed the next day, and even attached some more photos of the accommodation. Very professional and helpful owners. I'm sure we would've had a lovely time there.

My husband, 12 year old son and I stayed with Eraldo in August 2012. It couldn't have been better! We originally planned to stay 3 nights but stayed 5. Earldo and his wife were extremely accommodating. Eraldo brought us fresh figs from his backyard for dinner and breakfast. Wonderful! We walked everywhere and enjoyed the sunshine on the patio. We...

The location of the rooms is excellent, within walking distance of the marina, amazing restaurants etc. the rooms were clean and bright and the owners were very welcoming when we arrived. The rooms are part of Eraldo and Donatella's house facing the... More

Eraldo informed me that the room was not available but he could offer us apartment conchigla at the same price as the room. What an unexpected treat! The apartment has a partial sea view and... More

We stayed at DaPaulin in September, and had a fantastic time. Our apartment was very pleasing, with a view to die for, and quite comfortable. Yes, there's lots of steps, but there's steps everywhere in Manarola and all the Cinque Terre. We think of it as exercise! The kitchen in the apartment was more than adequate. We usually made breakfast... More

We chose Manarola as our base to explore Cinque Terre and one of the rooms at Da Paulin's. The rooms are part of the host Eraldo's house, with his family on the top floor and the 2 rooms just the floor below. The rooms face the main street of Manarola which is pedestrianised, so no traffic noise. Do note that... More

My wife, daughter, and I enjoyed a wonderful stay at Da Pauline this July. Donatella and Eraldo, our hosts, were very friendly and helpful. I had studied Italian a bit before we began our trip and they were enthusiastic and patient when speaking with me. Our chats were great fun. The rooms included a kitchen, which allowed us to cook...

Eraldo provides wonderful housing for all who wish to visit Cinque Terre. We initially tried to rent one of the apartments, but they were not available for our requested dates. So, we went ahead and booked one of the rooms with ensuite bath. We were not expecting much when we arrived, however, to our surprise, the place was perfect and... More
