My wife & I have stayed with Da Paulin twice in the past several years. We returned this May for 3 nights, and were again delighted by the hospitality of Eraldo & Donatella. The weather is usually warmer, and we had packed accordingly, but it was chillier than predicted (but mostly sunny). Eraldo and Donatella generously loaned us some sweatshirts,... More

We stayed two nights in The Da Paulin Apartment in mid May. Our host was most helpful and welcoming. The studio apartment has a wonderful view over Manarola and the sea and is very comfortable. Streets are steep, but Manarola is extraordinarily pretty and a good base to choose in the Cinque5. Tea making facilities were much appreciated. Vin and... More

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...

We found out about Da Paulin rooms from friends of ours who had also stayed there last summer. 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

My husband and I were searching for a room in the cinque terre during January 2013. I contacted Da Paulin and inquired about a room. 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
