Muin a Ventu Historical Tower | House in Vernazza
3 Bedroom House in Vernazza
Summary:
Built in the 1100s, Muin a Ventu is one of the last surviving medieval towers in Vernazza, a testament to the village's Genoese heritage. Originally a windmill — the distinctive openings at the top once harnessed the wind to grind grain — the tower was transformed in the 1950s by Amleto, a well-known local figure who added an annex. In the mid-20th century, theatre director Aldo Trionfo restored it, turning it into a bohemian retreat for artists, actors and composers. Today Muin a Ventu still carries that artistic and historical legacy: the tower's silhouette, standing out above Vernazza, has led many visitors to notice its resemblance to the setting of a beloved animated film set in these very villages. A welcome package awaits you with local wine, pasta and pesto, and taggiasca olives — the pasta, pesto and olives come from the same producer as our award-winning olive oil, whose mill can be visited on one of our experiences. Località Preteccia, 90 sqm, sleeps up to 5.
The Space:
At the base of the tower, a generous open-plan space with a double bed, dining area with an artistic table, kitchenette (fridge, electric hob, Nespresso machine, an antique Ligurian marble sink) and bathroom with shower. The rooms are enriched with original artworks by Giorgio, the sculptor owner, and his wife, a theatre director — including a hand-decorated door in Chinese ink. On the tower's first floor, reached by a wooden ladder, a bedroom with a handcrafted double bed. On the top floor, a single bed with an incomparable view over Vernazza, the sea and the surrounding countryside. Private Mediterranean garden with pergolas, terraces and outdoor dining areas.
Guest Access:
The path is steep and uneven, requiring good physical fitness. Not recommended for children under 6, elderly guests, or those with mobility difficulties, due to the narrow wooden ladders and the proximity to the cliff edge. Toilet facilities are only on the ground floor.
The Neighborhood:
At the start of the trail from Vernazza to Corniglia, with panoramic views over the village, the Ligurian Sea and the surrounding hills. Private Mediterranean garden surrounded by lush vegetation.
Getting Around:
Food delivery service available on request. Public car park above the village for drivers (about 1,200 metres from the pedestrian area), shuttle and a short walk to our office (about 5 minutes).
Other Things to Note:
We leave a few breakfast basics in the kitchen for your first morning — croissants, biscuits, jam, tea, coffee, portioned powdered milk and sugar. Bed and bath linen included with shower gel, conditioner, body wash and hand soap. Professional cleaning throughout. Concierge office in Vernazza.
