The Legend of Maemuna
The apartment takes its name from Maemuna, a legendary young woman from Vernazza who, according to local folklore, hid from Saracen pirates in a sea cave below the village. Her haunting songs were said to enchant sailors and pirates alike. On stormy nights, locals claim her voice can still be heard echoing through the rocks — visible directly from the apartment windows.
