La Mala

A bit of “beach chic” has come to Vernazza with the stylish four-room locanda. The rooms are not large but they are well-designed and -equipped, sunny, and come with great views (sea, village, and/or harbor view). Bathrooms are clean and modern. Room 26 has a small living area and is ideal for families traveling with a child as it can comfortably accommodate a third bed. Guests can enjoy the communal seaside terrace, the perfect spot for a sunset aperitivo. There is no reception area so you will be expected to call (or find) the owner, Gian Battista, upon your arrival in the village (specific instructions are given when your reservation is confirmed). There’s no breakfast room; instead you are provided with a relatively basic cornetto and cappuccino at a local bar.
