We stayed in the amazing Room 26 (under room 31) and absolutely loved it! This room totally made our stay in Vernazza and was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Room was clean, well-lit and beautifully appointed in white. Room 26 also features a "below-decks" sitting room down a small flight of stairs and has a small,... more

This is the second time I have stayed in this accomodation and it is absolutely beautiful. I am currently living in Switzerland and my family came over from Australia so I took them to this beautiful place. It is truly special. Simple and in a fantastic little coastal town. The only set back I would say is the lack of... more

For three nights of our honeymoon in September 2009, my husband and I splurged on La Mala's room 31 in Vernazza. While the hotel itself is clean and lovely, the room's view was hands-down spectacular. With a thunderstorm one night (a novelty to us native San Diegans), this was definitely worth the few-night splurge to us. (We stayed in more... more

* We stayed in room 20 and although it boasts a water view on the website, the water is barely visible from the room. * The glass door out to the terrace slammed all night long. It was a really windy night and the door has no latch and it kept my husband and I up all night. * If... more

The positive reviews are pretty spot-on. We were ther four nights, the weather was not good and I was sick most of the time, but still loved La Mala. We wanted room 31, but took room 26, which was very fine -- great views out over the terrace and a little porthole in the room below (it is a duplex... more

My husband and I tried to book a room at La Mala, but was told they were fully booked. However they did say they had a flat/apartment available. We travelled with our moms, so we need a place with at least 2 double beds. The apartment offered 1 private room with double bed, and a pull-out couch for 2 people.... more

We stayed in Room 31 and it was beautiful. Vernazza was such a charming little town, and La Mala made it even better. It rained most of the time during our 3 night stay and we didn't mind because we had such a great room to spend our time in! While I would still recommend staying here, there was a... more

Our first suggestion is to be sure to read the e-mail sent to you regarding your arrival. It contained an offer for Gamba to meet you in the piazza and carry your luggage up the 98 steps. Instead we carried our bags up ourselves and called Gamba after! He very graciously moved our luggage back and forth/ up and down,... more

Great location and lovely room. The view in room 31 is just sensational - panoramic ocean view. Room is very modern and perfectly clean. It has a very large balcony just below that is shared by all apartments (4 in total). This is a real plus and great for pre-dinner drinks. It is a 3 min walk from the train... more
