Questions under the parasol

The questions Da Paolone's guests ask most, with honest answers: from the wifi that isn't there (and why that's fine) to the free parking, from Deiva Marina's beaches to the train for the Cinque Terre. If your question isn't here, ask it on WhatsApp: Paolone himself answers, usually within a few hours.

Is there wifi?
No, in neither apartment — and we say it upfront: this is a place to properly switch off. Mobile signal works fine, but the evening programme is fireflies, not streaming.
Where do I park?
Right outside, for free, in the private car park — for both apartments. Around Deiva that's not a given: here it is.
How do I get to the beach?
Deiva Marina's beaches are 5 minutes away by car or bus. And with the beach club arrangement, your parasol is sorted too.
And the Cinque Terre?
By train from Deiva Marina station: about 20 minutes and you're in the Park. Tourist tickets are sold right at the station. Full guide here.
Can I bring my dog?
Sadly no, pets are not allowed.
We're 4 with a baby: do we fit?
Yes: we'll set up the cot (and travel crib) for you, free, on request. Children are welcome at any age.
What time do we arrive and leave?
Check-in from 2pm to 11.30pm (let us know your time), check-out by 12 noon. Paolone welcomes you in person, and there's luggage storage if you arrive early or leave late.
What's the difference between Acquamarina and Sabbia?
Acquamarina is on the ground floor, with a private entrance and 2–4 sleeping places. Sabbia is on the first floor, with a balcony, a washing machine and 4 places. Otherwise they're twins: equipped kitchen, air conditioning, same garden and same car park.
How do I book without fees?
Message us on WhatsApp at +39 347 375 4553 or email info@dapaolone.com: you talk directly to us and book without platform fees.
Can we smoke? Can we throw a party?
No and no: the apartments are non-smoking, and no parties or events. The quiet is one of the reasons guests come back.
