IMPORTANT INTRODUCTION

Leo's Lodge Vernazza Cinque Terre
Leo's Lodge is a traditional stone house surrounded by nature, offering an authentic countryside experience in the heart of Cinque Terre National Park. The area is home to local wildlife, including wild boars, foxes and other small animals that are part of the natural environment.

Staying at Leo's Lodge means experiencing the peaceful rhythm of rural life: the sounds of nature, the fresh air and the beauty of the surrounding landscape. As with any countryside location, guests should be comfortable with a more natural environment and the occasional presence of wildlife.
We will do our best to make your stay as relaxing and comfortable as possible, but please remember that country life has its own unique characteristics — and that is also what makes it special.

Leo's Lodge takes its name from Leo, my beloved dog and true hero. On October 25, 2011, during the devastating flood that hit the area and caused the loss of nine lives, Leo saved me and became a symbol of courage and loyalty. For his extraordinary act, he received the International Award of Loyalty for Dogs, and his story was shared by newspapers and television channels around the world.

Leo lived a long and wonderful life, leaving us on April 30, 2025, at the age of 19. Today, his legacy continues through Leo II, his great-grandson, who has taken over his special place at the Lodge.

Our historic retreat is surrounded by large private areas featuring terraces, gardens, vineyards and a vegetable garden, with several idyllic spots where guests can relax and enjoy complete peace and privacy.

This authentic stone house was built over 400 years ago by shepherds who moved from the mountains to the sea to spend the winter months. Located on a south-facing cliff between Corniglia and Vernazza, it offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding coastline.

Carefully renovated with simplicity and respect for its origins, the house preserves the charm of its historical roots while offering all the comforts needed for a relaxing and authentic stay in the heart of Cinque Terre National Park.
