We had the pleasure of staying for 6 wonderful nights at Luca’s Il Conventino and it was a week we will remember forever.
We started planning our Italy trip in July 2019 for summer 2020, but had to reschedule twice due to the pandemic. We are so grateful to Luca for being flexible and understanding in accommodating us with these changes. It was a long wait to finally visit Cinque Terre, but it was worth it.
We could not have imagined a better place to stay than this villa. The location is prime, the views are unparalleled, and the proximity to everything you could possibly want to do is literally no more than a few minutes away. Hiking the trails, taking a sunset boat tour, catching the train to other towns, snapping photos of the incredible landscape, shopping for souvenirs or necessities for dinner, swimming in the sea, eating at great restaurants, or grabbing a cappuccino in the morning or a gelato in the afternoon.
The villa itself is wonderful. It is beautifully decorated while still being comfortable and welcoming. It has a well-equipped kitchen, plenty of seating inside and outside, and comfortable bedrooms with the most amazing views of Vernazza’s harbor.
Luca was an amazing host and welcomed us to his villa with warmth and enthusiasm, showed us around, and offered many helpful suggestions about what to do and where to eat.
It was truly a dream come true week for us! Thank you, Luca!
