We thoroughly loved our stay in Jo's Casa Bella Vista, and would definitely stay here the next time we are in Manarola.
The management team (ArbaSpaa) was terrific, and had everything ready for us, after a quick stop from the train station. They lead us to the apartment, showed us how everything worked (everything did!), fired up the WiFi hotspot for us, then were available anytime. We didn't need them until checkout, when we turned in the keys.
If you like stairs, and you must if you are thinking about staying in any of the 5 cities in Cinque Terre, you will appreciate Jo's apartment. The bottom floor is a general meeting area if you have guests (there is a small sink, fridge, and large dining table built into the stone - very cool). We kept our coats and luggage there.
The second floor offers a full bath and guest bedroom. The third floor, the master bedroom and full bath, with a nice window that opens onto the ocean (those lovely breezes!). The fourth floor is the main living area, with full kitchen, dishwasher, and clothes washer. Everything worked fine. And the fifth floor has a clothes line, some extra chairs for the outdoor patio, and entrance to the roof-top patio - where the WiFi signals works well enough to stream as you have a glass of wine and watch your favorite show before bed.
Take the easy up-steps walk to our fave restaurant, Trattoria dal Billy.
Jo was very easy to get in touch with, delivered everything promised, and made our stay in Manarola perfect.
