Very Nice! We enjoyed our stay at The Garden. The apartment was comfortable, nicely decorated, and just right for our party of 3. Keta was a lovely host! When we had questions, she was quick to respond to ensure that we had a wonderful visit while in the Cinque Terre area. Volastra ended up being just the right place for us to stay during our visit. We would stay here again!

The Garden is the perfect place to stay in Cinque Terra! It is quiet, quaint, and very clean! The location is also perfect! It is easy to get to the different towns. I highly recommend this property! The host is so kind and sweet… she provides perfect instructions to access the property and for parking. We loved our stay! 💕

This property was perfect.. very clean, nicely decorated interior.. located next to an olive grove in the quiet little town of Volastra, where you can enjoy being away from the craziness of Cinque Terre and enjoy the great restaurants on the town. The bus right outside will take you to Manarola, from there you can train to any of the cities. The owner was so helpful and ensured we had everything we needed to enjoy our time.

The Garden is a beautiful quiet place to unwind and relax. We had a beautiful Terrance with a table, lounging chairs, beautiful flowers and greenery which was impeccable. I never stayed in a place so clean and newly renovated. It was beautifully decorated. The air-conditioning worked very well.
The owner of the property is the most helpful and caring person. Contacting her was a breeze. Anything you need help with she was there with a quick response She recommended restaurants in the area and restaurants in other areas.
The location was pretty good. A 10 minute ride by bus (which is a minute walking distance away) brings you to Manarola (one of the cinque terre). We rented a car and drove to Monterosso which was a 30 minutes ride. The Garden was a true gem…a must stay!

We ended up at the Garden when another property that we had booked in Riomaggiore fell through (badly). Although the owner does not have a "front desk," it was very easy to connect with her and gain access to the property.
Once we got there, we felt like we were in an oasis retreat. The room was brand new and very clean. Our unit also had an outdoor patio and outdoor shower area that was very relaxing after a day spent exploring Cinque Terre. Even though this property does not include breakfast, there is a wonderful mini-mart around the corner that has all kinds of Italian specialties. We visited it many times to sample foccacio, pannettone etc. All in all, it was a wonderful stay.

Just Perfect
Wow. What a cool little place. This is a studio apartment duplex right in Volastra, above Riomaggiore and Manarola. It’s in a quiet location outside of town. Super easy to get to and find, Keta was wonderful with directions and tips for restaurants etc. The place is brand new with high end furnishings and bath, and the AC is EXCELLENT. Just a wonderful experience overall, great location and host. Highly recommend!

Nice place
The place is nice. One room equiped with everything.
Parking is resonable but bit uncomftarble.
No loby ( its a private property) so have to coordinate check-in.
The address is not clear ( rimajiore is the area but the location called volastra and its not mentioned ).
Its very close to manarola which is very good.
Volastra is isolated and nothing to do in the evening.

The Garden is a wonderful place to stay, it is lovely and quiet away from the crowds. The studio perfectly clean and a very high standard even better than the pictures. Alcetta was a thoughtful host, really helpful and quick to answer our questions when needed. The local restaurant Tiabuscion is a must, the food was superb! We would not hesitate to stay here again.

A modern place to stay.
Very nice place to stay. Nice and roomie. Very clean and modern. The owners were very nice and welcoming. You are able to hike down to a few towns from the hotel. On the off season though, buses and taxis don’t run, fyi.

Everything’s was 5 star except for proper directions as to the location. We were actually within 50 yards of the place, not realizing we were there. A simple sign would help with a contact number for the owner, who is 20 minutes away. Despite that, this place was a gem to stay at. Like your own private little villa, within 5 to 10 minute walk to excellent restaurants and hiking trails.. The place is completely renovated, with a lot of thought put into your comfort. Highly recommend staying here. We’ll absolutely recommend it to our friends.
