Hotéis em Monterosso al Mare

Prós: On the high 5th floor (no elevators in this very old building) but the view was wonderful and the owner Gabriele saved the day.

Prós: The owner went out of his way to make sure everything was just right and accommodated to whatever we needed. He was totally invested in making our stay great.

Contras: Not anything negative but it was a little hard to find the hotel. You will understand once you get there and see the village. Roads are not clearly marked. I think maybe detailed directions would be helpful to be included in an email.

Prós: Clean. Delicious breakfast!

Contras: No

Prós: Staff was always present, friendly, and helpful! Great insight to the community: helped arrange for parking (hotel is in pedestrian-only zone) and got us a diner reservation at a place that was ‘full’. Location perfect - walk to everything in old portion of town - shops, beach. Hotel is on Cinque Terre footpath and close to marina; newer portion of town is closer to train station - 10 minute walk.

Contras: Did not know that our room was on the third floor. Complimentary breakfast is graciously served on pretty roof deck, but options limited.

Prós: Many thanks to Gabriele for his help and care, we felt really at home during the whole stay. There was a great view to the sea. Very quite room, great location, tasty breakfast with 3 minute boiled eggs on demand. Amazing! Absolutely recommend!!

Prós: Location and stuff

Contras: No elevator, noisy AC, price-value

Prós: Gabriel is a great host Great location

Contras: Room sizes are a little small

Prós: Gabriel was incredible as a host!! He made our experience unforgettable. We had the top floor room with our own private rooftop terrace, overlooking all of old town Monterosso and the sea!! Gabriel insisted on carrying our bags up, which was so helpful. He gave us recommendations for anything we were interested in doing. Breakfast was plentiful, also on a rooftop terrace, with incredible views. Amazing!

Contras: The room was 84 steps up! Well worth the climb, but maybe better for younger guests.

Prós: View from room was excellent, extremely helpful staff

Prós: Everything was perfect, location, room, breakfast. Thank you Gabriele.

Prós: The best B&B we have ever stayed in! Amazing shuttle service, Marta and all hosts were so helpful, amazing breakfast and beautiful facilities! Couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

Prós: Beautiful place set in beautiful gardens a long way up the cliff. Courtesy bus at set times which saved the legs sometimes. Very easy to get to via train from Pisa. We walked from Monterosso to Vernazza and it was a lot tougher than we expected but we were glad we did it!

Prós: Would 100% recommend staying here, the views are incredible and it’s so quiet and peaceful. With just a short walk from the village and beach it is a great location. We enjoyed staying around the pool as it’s very picturesque and the beach is very busy

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Absolutely everything.

Contras: No need to even ask this question. If anyone had anything negative to say about this property then there is something wrong with them.

Prós: The staff was very attentive and made us feel at home. The breakfast was always delicious and our room was cleaned very well everyday. The shuttle was incredibly helpful to move around the city to the b&b.

Prós: we loved our six night stay at bnb il parco! the property is everything you could ask for and the staff made our experience so memorable! we was lucky enough to have a room with a garden with views all over the cliffs to the sea. i don’t know how they manage to keep their gardens so perfect but somehow the gardens throughout the b&b are literally so perfect they look fake (they’re not). the breakfast is so lovely, i personally could not have wished for a more perfect selection - you can order omelettes as well as having an extensive italian theme breakfast buffet with such fresh meats, fruits and pastries. martha (one of the hosts) went out of her way to come and get us from the train station and take us up to the b&b upon check in and even sent us a little welcome pack with recommendations, map and shuttle times. the b&b have a super handy free shuttle service but the walk from the town to the b&b is no longer than 10 minutes - i guess it just depends how much your feet are hurting from exploring! :) we could not have picked a better hotel and we have both said if we come back to the cinqueterre we wouldn’t stay anywhere else. the staff are so polite, friendly, helpful and always greeting their guests with a smile! thank you b&b il parco for a perfect week.

Contras: not applicable.

Prós: The grounds, breakfast was fantastic the staff very friendly the location was excellent and very quiet. Highly recommend!

Prós: Calm place

Contras: Not too many shuttles to pick you up from the beach side

Prós: Loved everything about this B&B. Location is pretty special! We stayed 3 nights and could have easily stayed longer. Marta, the host goes above and beyond for all guests! If you are looking at this B&B - book it, you won’t regret it!

Contras: During the busy season Italian Police close the street into Monterosso. We would recommend printing out parking / hotel confirmation just to make it easier - if you don’t speak Italian!

Prós: Located just outside of town with a regular shuttle service, this was a beautiful property with wonderful views and attentive staff. The garden landscaping was beautifully done and maintained with such care. Martha was always there with advice and help about the local area.

Contras: The only improvement would have been some shade on our balcony.

Prós: The location, service and breakfast were terrific

Contras: It was a little expensive for a one night stay

Prós: Location was great within the old town. Staff was wonderful. Very nice and helpful. The room was beautiful. Breakfast was good. Decent variety. Eggs were available in addition to the standard fare of breads, meats, fruits and yogurt, etc. great cappuccinos! (Capuccini)

Contras: Mattress on the bed was a bit uncomfortable. Maybe it just needs an extra pad for comfort. There was a bit of building noise but nothing that kept us awake.

Prós: Excellent staff, great location.

Prós: Beautiful historic hotel. Quaint, clean, spacious rooms. Excellent breakfast with beautiful outside seating. Very personable, accommodating staff. Highly recommend.

Contras: Sketchy wifi but I’m assuming they can’t do anything about that.

Prós: Excellent location! We did appreciate the help with booking trail passes (at reduced price) and the bottles of water!

Prós: Wonderful Hosts at Locanda Il Maestrale - Giovanni & Stefania were friendly and responsive. Loved staying in ‘Old Town’! Easy 10 minute walk from the train station. Perfect location for exploring Cinque Terre & the Riviera Towns. Close to the beaches - 5 min walk. (Hosts provided a beach bag with beach towels). Lots of restaurants and shops right outside your door. Stayed in the Manarola room. Very clean with comfortable king size bed. Great shower with lots of hot water and excellent water pressure. Fridge stocked with water - no charge (tap water is drinkable in Italy but nice to have the bottles for day trips). Juice/beer also stocked in fridge with prices as per menu. Daily maid service included clean towels as needed. (Thanks Connie)! Fabulous rooftop terrace where we had breakfast every morning (with fresh squeezed orange juice)! Stefania & Giovanni also put out complimentary daily afternoon fruit, snacks & coffee/tea. We had access to the roof top terrace at any time and enjoyed our evenings up there with a bottle of wine. Giovanni helped us get the Cinque Terre train & trekking pass ($16 euro per person for one day) for unlimited train rides & trekking. The cars also gets you free access to the toilets at the train stations. We did the hike from Monterosso Al Mar to Vernazza. Spectacular views during this 1 hr 15 min walk. We did this on a Saturday, it was busy on the trails and insanely busy on the trains. Recommend getting an early start to avoid the crush of tourists. Loved visiting all the towns of Cinque Terre. Corniglia is up higher from the ocean. The weather was very hot so we took the free shuttle immediately after you get off the train (or alternatively you can take the steep 25 minute walk up to the town). We did a beautiful late afternoon sunset hike to the top of the hill in Monterosso and saw the church of San Francesco. Castle ruins and a cemetery. The views were incredible.

Prós: It was comfortable and beautiful! Our host was great! He was very accommodating. The breakfast was fabulous!

Contras: Nothing

Prós: The owner was very nice, helpful and generous

Contras: It’s very small

Prós: The property is family owned but don’t let that bother you, cause wow they really know how to look after guests.

Prós: Nice, clean and big rooms. Very central and close to everything.

Prós: set in a 300 year old building with modern life amenities

Prós: Located in a prime location on Via Roma in the old Monterosso al Mare, it’s is close to all the good restaurants, beaches and just a 10 minute walk from the train station. The rooms are beautifully designed with comfy bed, large wardrobe, beach towels some olive oil shampoo and a larger then expected bathroom. Rooms are also cleaned every morning. Communication with the host was great and on meeting him he was full of chat with great advice and couldn’t do enough for us. Will stay here again when I return to Cinque Terre as we enjoyed our stay and had no issues.

Contras: Not to much not to like, just travel light as there is no lift and also you need to keep your eyes open or you will walk by the main door.

Prós: accommodation was excellent, really nice room, very comfortable;e bed, shower was awesome and located in center of old town, owners and staff were amazing really helpful and friendly, highly recommend staying here

Contras: nothing it was all good

Prós: Great location. Excellent people

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Bellambra was in a terrific location, close to restaurants, shopping and trailhead in the old town- the more picturesque of the two sides of Monterosso. The rooms were clean and had daily maid service. Fresh towels were provided everyday. WiFi was good. Enoteca downstairs made perfect cappuccinos and had a wonderful selection of local wines and Italian micro brews. The host was exceptionally hospitable to our family and very informative about local attractions and getting around town.

Contras: Nothing! Everything was wonderful!

Prós: The complimentary drinks on the first day was a nice touch.

Contras: The location is close to the main walkway of the town which made it a little noisy. I wore earplugs to drown out the noise and had no issues.

Prós: Location!

Contras: Small bathroom in double room! No place in shower for shower gel, etc. Sat on floor. Tiny sink top for toiletries. Other rooms had spacious bathrooms.

Prós: Location

Contras: Breakfast

Prós: The accommodations and short distance to waterfront was a dream. Lorenzo is a wonderful kind host. We stayed on the 3rd level with 4 rooms and entire floor to our party of 6 adults and 4 children. It was the perfect way to enjoy Monterosso & Cinqueterre! We'll certainly be back to stay again!

Contras: Not a thing!

Prós: The free parking was a definite plus. The staff were very helpful as well.

Contras: The location could be a challenge for those who have trouble walking up and down stairs. Sounds like this is a common problem however for many places of stay in Cinque Terre.

Prós: Can’t recommend Le Giare highly enough. Immaculate, well presented room, in a beautiful location nestled in the hill above Monterosso’s new town. The staff were friendly, and happy to answer questions about the Cinque Terre and recommend good places to eat. They also offered a taxi service to/from the station, which I didn’t need actually, because it’s only a 10-15 minute walk from the train station (though it is quite hilly!)

Prós: Modest but extremely clean and spacious room A very quiet and super pretty location; a place to sit peacefully outside while having breakfast Friendly and accommodating staff Air conditioning Close to the newer part of Monterosso: a 10-minute walk up/down a steep hill Monterosso is stunning!

Contras: I wasn't prepared for the steep walk up the hill with my bags upon arrival; without bags, it's not a problem. Recommend making arrangements for a ride to the place upon arrival, if you foresee a problem with lugging bags (otherwise, it's just good exercise!).

Prós: Lovely calm real Italian boutique lodging - much nicer than the hectic places on the beach

Contras: Small bathroom especially shower but that was the only thing that wasn’t perfect

Prós: The staff went out of their way to be sure we were comfortable and accommodated..The location provided a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of the tourist zone. A bus stop near the entrance of the complex made the 4 minute commute down the hilline just a matter of paying attention to schedules and buying a multi-day pass

Contras: We were not able to stay longer

Prós: We loved everything about this place! Amazing location, clean and great hospitality!

Prós: Highly recommended! It was a spectacular stay and we felt so welcome from the very beginning. The room is very spacious and has all the necessities. The location was excellent, just a short walk to the train station and town centre (although up a few flights of stairs) but far away to be quiet and peaceful. We drove so it couldn't have been more convenient!

Contras: Nothing at all :D

Prós: perfect staff quite place parking

Contras: that I cannot stay there loger

Prós: The service was fantastic and the whole process was easy start to finish. Location was great. Family oriented owner whom is very responsive and helpful. The only thing we disliked was not staying long enough!

Prós: It was beautiful location, a lovely walk down to the beach very peaceful

Prós: Andrea, the manager of the hotel is really great! He advices you about the sightseeing in Monterosso as well as how to get into other 4 towns of Cinque Terre. He gave us also great recommendations for restaurants and bakeries. He is very friendly, easygoing and prepared to welcome guests. His English is at advanced level, we had no problem to discuss anything we were interested about. Our room and bathroom was cleaned everyday, we got also additional towels, when we asked for. I would definitely return to this hotel.

Contras: Room is quite small. On the photos it looks bigger, but it is quite a typical Italian standard for smaller hotels/ residencies. Not enough racks/ chairs to dry wet clothes.

Prós: Andrea, the host, was incredibly kind and forthcoming. He provided us with a map and lots of information all about Cinque Terre - where we could hike, where to eat etc. He made sure everything we needed we had, and always said hello and made us feel very comfortable and welcome. The rooms were big enough for two people, kept immaculately clean with daily housekeeping. The location was smack bang in the Old Town and easy to find. We were able to walk through Monterosso no problems from our room. The train station was only a 5 minute walk so we could catch the train to the other villages. I would definitely recommended this accomodation to anyone visiting Monterosso; one of the best villages to stay in because of the big beaches. Very easy to catch the train to all the other villages.

Contras: Nothing!

Prós: Very clean place, nice owner, good location. I couldnt recommend more.

Prós: The hotel is in an excellent location and it's one of the cleanest hotels I've ever been to. There are shutters to block light and noise, air conditioning and the beds are very spacious and comfortable. Andrea was so helpful and recommended all the best places in Monterosso, indeed he was right. And I think he's one of the nicest people I've met in Italy!

Prós: The host, Andrea, was great and gave really helpful tips for around Monterosso. It is in a great location in Monterosso, very close to restaurants and the beach. Room is good too, nothing fancy but exactly what we expected based on the photos.

Prós: Andrea was very helpful with everything with all the inormation and places to eat and see

Contras: Nothing to dislike

Prós: Staff superb

Prós: Andrea was a FANTASTIC host and was so helpful...it's not on the beach, but the walk wasn't too far and the location is quiet and not even a minute from the restaurants and shops. I don't usually spend time to write reviews, but my fiance and I were so impressed with Andrea that we really wanted to make sure to recommend Albergo Al Carugio to anyone needing a place to stay in Cinque Terre. I'm so glad we found this place and would definitely stay again!

Contras: Bathroom was a tad small.

Prós: The location was perfect.

Prós: The staff is amazing! I read there was an issue with there being no AC, that has been corrected. The value for the location was/is impressive. Cinque Terre ti amo

Prós: Great view from the location (just above Monterosso). Very friendly and helpful owners/staff. Rooms are very confortable and lovely decorated with many details. Each room has a little terasse to enjoy the view. Absolutely fantastic breakfast (probably the best ever). Free parking space and shuttle taxi several times a day (but walking is also fine - as most people anyway go hiking). We already came here twice and would return anytime.

Prós: Wonderful drive thru Cunque Terra to quaint Hotel overlooking Monterosso. Could do train or beach or hiking and excursions. Stff and room were wonderful

Prós: Team was amazing... so hospitable. Breakfast was fantastic. The views from the location are breathtaking. The fact that they provide a free shuttle into and out of town just further shows how hospitable they are.

Contras: Thete is absolutely nothing negative!! Would return here in a heart beat!

Prós: Nice size room, views were beautiful, staff was very accommodating, breakfast was amazing

Contras: Far walk to the city, but shuttle was available at certain times.

Prós: If you are visiting Cinque Terre, this is the place to say. The view of the sea was spectacular. The staff was fabulous. One morning we had an early tour and were leaving early for it to get breakfast and they served a four course breakfast early so that we could have breakfast before we left.

Prós: Friendly and beautiful

Prós: The bed and breakfast had one of the most beautiful views that I have ever seen! The room was very nice, the staff were great and the breakfast was incredible!

Contras: It was a bit out of town but they did offer a free taxi service going in and out of town.

Prós: Well appointed, charming B&B with incredible views. It was a very nice touch to provide a glass of Prosecco and fresh baked cake upon our arrival. I emailed from Canada to request someone reserve for us at a specific restaurant and the owners daughter was extremely helpful and made the reservations for us at Il Casella. The shuttle to town was very convenient. The home cooked breakfast was incredible!!! We will definitely recommend Serra soul Mare.

Contras: We were a little disappointed that we didn’t get the exact room we reserved with the balcony. Fanny offered to change us the next day but we didn’t want to pack up again for only one night. The room we stayed in was lovely anyway.

Prós: Beautiful rooms with sea view. Excellent breakfast

Contras: A bit far from the village- but a shuttle is available

Prós: Super breakfast. Terrific view. Great staff

Contras: A bit far from town, but free taxi service is provided.

Prós: The hotel is charming, beautifully decorated, and the rooms have a terrific view of the ocean. The bathroom was modern and the bed was firm but not hard. The terrace off our room was perfect for having a glass of wine while enjoying the view. The breakfast is absolutely awesome!! A free taxi service was available to take us to town/pick us up and we never had to wait more than a few minutes. (You could also walk but it's steep.) The staff was very helpful and friendly, and spoke English. If we have the opportunity to visit Cinque Terre again we'll definitely stay at La Serra Sul Mare!

Prós: La Serra Sul Mare is a great B&B just outside of Monterossa... the owner and her daughter have decorated beautifully, cook a great breakfast, and greet you in your room with coffee, tea, and small pastries. What a treat. Don't let the fact that it is just outside of town be a drawback.. the walk to town is short, and if you don't wish to walk, they provide complimentary taxi service. Stay here, you won't be disappointed.

Prós: The owners were great and so was the breakfast! They were very helpful all during our stay.

Prós: The hotel staff was extremely helpful and nice. The breakfast was incredible with many homemade, delicious dishes. The location was great for hiking the Cinque Terre and the free taxi service into Monterosso was a wonderful perk.

Contras: We had a few heavy bags and they had to be carried up the many steps. However, the Signora actually helped us carry them......amazing!

Prós: From the moment you call at the gate your are treated as a special guest. The view of the mediterrean is spectacular, rooms are beautifully appointed and the breakfast remarkable.

Prós: Location was amazing in the old town and Annie who looked after us was fabulous. Breakfast was fantastic and even brought to our room one day it was raining. Live to visit again one day.

Prós: The girl that cooked our breakfast and managed it

Prós: Annie and Cherry were incredibly welcoming and made sure everything was ready for our arrival, including an extra bed for a third person being made up. The breakfast provided was simple but delicious. Freshly cooked eggs and espresso being available made it particularly great. The room was cozy but well-equipped. The bathroom was clean and modern, with fresh towels and linen on our arrival. Annie and Cherry were quick to reply to messages, and happy to help if we had any concerns (which we didn't!). Accommodation in Monterosso is not cheap, but we would happily stay here again!!

Prós: Annie was amazing. Wonderful hospitality. Great breakfast, location perfect. We had to leave early on last morning so she provided breakfast for us in our apartment. Even gave us beach towels! Highly recommend! 5 star hospitality.

Prós: Great position, staff great. Breakfast was fantastic, fresh omelettes.

Contras: Just because our kids are tall beds were a bit small.

Prós: Very clean! Nice apartment and Anne was so helpful and accommodating. The breakfast was more than we needed.

Prós: Much nicer than photographed/ expected. Excellent location. Friendly staff. Good breakfast. Very clean and air conditioned

Prós: Hostess made it easy to find by providing clear instructions of how to get to apartment. Includef breakfast was outstanding! A lot of variety of tasty food and plenty to eat. Great location.

Contras: All good, no problems

Prós: Cherry and Annie were so helpful and amazing host! The place was clean and very comfortable. Centrally located and can never get hungry with restaurants and shops around.

Contras: Would love to stay here again! Nothing I didn’t like.

Prós: Very handy location.

Prós: Excellent location and service. Highly recommended.

Prós: The service for this place was outstanding! Upon arriving, they gave our group of 4 welcome drinks (along with an extra bottle to take back to the room), and let us sample some incredible pesto. They recommended places to eat for dinner, and overall we really enjoyed their hospitality. The breakfast was great as well, included fruit and yogourt, which most places do not. Our room for 4 could have slept an additional person plus had a baby cot included.

Prós: Cherry was amazing. She accommodated to all of our needs. We were 4 girls backpacking Italy on a budget, but our stay felt like a real treat! The room was amazing, and the included breakfast was probably the best we've ever had. I will recommend this to anyone and everyone who tells me they're traveling to Cinque Terre!

Prós: We had a wonderful stay here - a girls trip from London for the weekend to walk the Cinque Terre. Our hostess Cherry was brilliant - made our trip!!

Prós: This is a great place and is rented by a wonderful couple that are very helpful.

Prós: The owners are wonderful, very accommodating. We had booked a four person room and showed up w/ 5 and didn't get charged any more. When I asked where to buy tea, she took me to a shop and bought it for me to place in the room. Best breakfast w/ meat, cheese, bread, jam, coffee, and pastries. Cute room, spaciously comfortable, t.v., loved the shower head, tea kettle in room and table!

Prós: Very good location in the heart of the town and nearby restaurants and the beach Very good host and accommodating place.

Contras: The stairs are too narrow, but that is normal in Cinque Terre houses, so not a big issue Not so much as a view from the room

Prós: Location was perfect. And great Room for families.

Prós: Service and staff were very helpful and had some small selection of food for a quick breakfast/snack throughout the day in the main reception area.

Contras: Bed was squeaky when trying to sleep.

Prós: Perfectly clean, cozy room for one in the old part of Monterosso. They don't serve breakfast but you'll find water and snacks near lobby, as well as nice Wonderland bakery downstairs. Can't say any thing about air conditioner since I slept with an open window all the time

Contras: I wish they could have iron for guests

Prós: Value for the money spent

Contras: Nothing

Prós: We are so glad we chose Monterosso, and this place, as our base for the Cinque Terre! Room was modern and clean, easy to check-in and great location. Grazie mille for a great stay!

Contras: Bed creaked every time we moved - maybe just needs tightening a bit.

Prós: All very, very good. The best. I wiil come back.

Prós: Ok

Contras: Noisy from the street

Prós: Everything met expectations.

Contras: Difficulty communicating with owner. But very friendly.

Prós: Location in the middle of Monterosso

Contras: Nothing

Prós: breakfast view to the mountains and the sea at the balcony water refill clean bathroom the cat

Contras: Plastic cups in the room

Prós: The location was wonderful. Right near the beach of Fegina and just a few minutes stroll into the town of Monterosso and to the main beaches. Breakfast buffet was plentiful and varied, everything you could wish for and more. Friendly and very helpful personnel. They got us a tea after 11 pm even though the bar was closed. Also very helpful giving directions and recommending the best way to travel. Clean and free tap water fountain to fill water bottles.

Contras: The swimming pool was small and only open till 8 pm, so we opted for the sea. The croissants at breakfast could have been better. The room was basic and a bit old-fashioned, but fully functional with all the necessities.

Prós: Very helpful staff. Breakfast was excellent. Room was air conditioned and pool was wonderful. Wifi was great.

Prós: Great location. It felt private, but close to the train. The breakfast was wonderful every morning, and the view from the patio was lovely. Free parking, although driving in was a little bit scary because of the narrow, winding roads. Would recommend!

Contras: N/a

Prós: The hotel is nice, peaceful and clean, has a swimming pool and a garden. The breakfast was very good. It is quite close to the sea. The ladies at the reception are all very friendly and warm-welcoming. And they have very nice doggies helping them ;)

Contras: We lived in a quadruple room. And I would not recommend this type of allocation. It is located in the mansard, has no balcony or living room. And one bathroom for four persons is not enough.

Prós: In the new town close to the ocean, and beach.. Very clean quiet room with a large bed and balcony. Nice garden and pool. Ample breakfast. Most of staff friendly. Our balcony had a partial sea view between buildings. Many rooms don’t. Had a safe in the room and the gate was locked at night, so seemed secure.

Contras: Considering we are paying 200 euros per night there were some little things lacking. Very flimsy plastic glasses in the room, virtually no decor, and no hair conditioner. Tiny bathroom. Linoleum floors in hallway and bedroom. Night receptionist never looked up as we walked by. Also the breakfast was the same every day the only variation being a couple of baked goods. Daytime staff very pleasant and were the other evening staff. It’s a bit of a haul up a steep pebbly driveway pulling luggage to the hotel. Pool temp was cold and there were lots of annoying flies around. And beach towels have to be rented??!! The beach is rocky and a lot of it is private tho there’s a free section not far from hotel. Also there are jellyfish which inflict the most painful sting I’ve ever had. The receptionist readily provided ointment which I did not find helped.

Prós: The location was perfect. The pool area was very peaceful

Contras: My bedroom was tiny. My bed was not very comfortable and neither were my pillows. The dining room lacked atmosphere so I didn’t eat there in the evenings. But the staff were very nice

Prós: The hotel was easy to find not far from the train station. Check in was swift and we were given a big spacious room. While the decor is quite outdated, that is normal in the cinque terre, it was absolutely spotless and cleaned daily. There was good English TV channels, good wifi and a pool on the complex. Breakfast was also very nice. It is a small family run hotel with only 36 bedrooms or so and it is very peaceful. Free parking also but we didnt avail of it. Very near all the lovely restaurants also.

Contras: the bikes available free of charge weren't great. The handle bars were sticky from the rubber having peeled off as the bikes were showing their age and the bikes locks are quite tricky. These need replacing. Breakfast is finished by 10am which is quite early.

Prós: The location, the staff, so helpful, especially the reception and the lady at the bar at night who gave me hot water each night. The breakfast was excellent. Would definitely rate it 4star.

Prós: Kind, attentive, and highly professional staff, great suggestions (beach rental outfit and hillside cafe in Manarola), beautiful grounds with large pool and deck, complete breakfast with nice variety, single room with balcony just as in photos and loved it, very reasonable and delicious optional 4 course dinner, which I loved as well, since I found the old town area noisy and crowded, and location in newtown area is closer to train station.

Contras: Choosing between the pool and the sea and having to leaving!

Prós: Great location, friendly and helpful staff, and a very tasty breakfast and dinner. We would certainly recommend this property for anyone visiting Cinque Terre.

Contras: Coffee machine in dining area served poor quality and tasting coffee. A fair amount of uphill trekking to get to the lobby and then your room; not suitable for disabled.

Prós: Friendly accommodating staff. Plentiful variety and tasty breakfast selections. Good location. Free private parking.

Contras: I would have liked a terrace. It was expensive but that may be the area being very popular.

Prós: Nice place, close to train station.

Contras: A bit noisy, thin walls.

Prós: Very kind in accommodating our tough travel schedule. Clean, great location near train station in Monterosso but far enough to not hear at night!

Prós: Breakfast was very good with a nice variety of choices. The location was SUBERB!! The manager, Diego, was outstanding and could not have done more. He was extremely helpful, delightfully friendly, and very knowledgeable- also checking on things like were the hiking trails open (due to some inclement weather), were the boats running, providing train and boat schedules and giving excellent recommendations. I cannot say enough about how welcome he made us feel. If we are able to return at some point, we would most definitely choose Hotel Punta Mesco.

Contras: Truly nothing except the weather. NO complaints whatsoever!

Prós: Breakfasts were pretty good. And the location was ideal - close to the main street and restaurants.

Contras: I could hear the conversations from next rooms!

Prós: Perfect location!

Prós: check-in was efficient, loved the location and rooms were small but clean!

Prós: Great stay. Bathroom a bit small but overall clean and great location

Prós: Superclean! Great location! Good breakfast! Kind helpful staff speaking good English!

Contras: A little bit overpriced!

Prós: Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Very clean.

Contras: It was all good.

Prós: Good beds. Excellent location. Nice breakfast.

Contras: Nothing

Prós: The hotel and the room with a unique atmosphere due to the elegant and stylish furniture. Incredibly friendly and hearty welcome. Tasty and varied breakfast. The sea was visible from our balcony and the greenery and trees created the coolness so necessary in the August heat. Beach, shop, restaurants, train station are all close.

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Breakfast options were great! Friendly staff!

Contras: I didn't particularly like that our room was not on site and we had to walk to our room, with 6 luggages and a stroller and numerous stairs.

Prós: Host was very helpful and accommodating.

Prós: The staff were amazing. They went out of their way to help with information and to ensure our stay was comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and had a good variety of food, breads, sweets, fruits and yogurt, etc,...

Contras: Nothing. Enjoyed our stay.

Prós: The breakfast was great. The bed was comfortable. Little niceties like leaving some mini croissants and biscuits at the entrance of our apartment. Not forgetting the helpful lady at the reception! :)

Contras: Bunk bed in the quadruple room did not have a safety barrier for young children (good to ask in advance). Toilet flushing problem. Parking was indeed inconvenient ! Even for the most experienced or seasoned driver at the island, one has to be mindful that the so called private garage is quite a good distance away (uphill task) from the actual location of the accommodation. In our case, our apartment was also not located within the reception area. Nonetheless, thanks to the very efficient lady who checked us in...she followed my husband and directed him to the garage and even came back to assist us with the luggages.

Prós: Location was unreal, very nice place

Contras: Small room but manageable

Prós: Staff were friendly and helpful. Great customer service

Prós: we have stayed in a different location than the main building . It was a small studio with small kitchen, small bathroom. The room had no view. the queen bed was located in the mezzanine with a 5.3 ceiling. We had an excellent breakfast was in the main building

Prós: Delicious brekfast !!! And everything was great

Contras: .

Prós: Amazing property, the staff made you feel as if you home. Love love love the property right down the road from the beach.

Prós: Great location right on the beach and very close to train station. Friendly staff. Nice room. Delicious breakfast with many hot and cold options.

Prós: The staff is wonderful; very helpful. They were all so lovely and helpful. They even gave us recommendations for Rome. The rooms seem recently updated and very clean. The bathrooms are tiny, but have everything you need. Breakfast was very good, including yogurt, fruit, pastries, eggs and bacon. Great location right by the beach!

Contras: The bathrooms and capsule showers are a little small. It’s not a dealbreaker.

Prós: Perfect location and excellent breakfast.

Contras: Rooms are very small.

Prós: The location

Contras: Not value for money. Rooms far to small, old worn out furniture and linen. Rooms and bathrooms are dirty.

Prós: Our stay at La Spiaggia couldn’t have been better! Maria at the front desk was very sweet and helpful. Our room was GORGEOUS. Opened up right on to the beachside and we couldn’t hear the outside noise once the balcony door was closed. Short walk from the train station. We enjoyed the breakfast that was served during our two night stay. Highest recommendations for La Spiaggia!

Prós: Breakfast was great, service and staff friendly and helpful!!!

Contras: Bathrooms, pretty tight!

Prós: Maria was a fantastic host and gave perfect advice about dining and getting around.

Prós: Great location and friendly staff!

Prós: Staff so helpful & friendly. Location was perfect

Contras: There was nothing to dislike

Contras: Beautiful from the outside, not good on the inside - very small rooms and a ripe off for the money.

Prós: Staff were welcoming and offered beach towels to use. We checked out early and missed breakfast, however a cappuccino and croissant were organised which was a lovely gesture and greatly appreciated. This hotel is a good location and in easy reach of all the local restaurants.

Contras: No complaints.

Prós: The location is superb and the owners/staff are lovely. They don't speak very much English - fyi. The hotel is clean and well kept but a wee bit old/outdated and bed was hard as a rock. The breakfast was really under par , some ham and cheese and rolls but not much else. Would not have minded but it was high season prices so a bit overpriced for what you got. I'd go back though because the location is so stunning. The pool table/amenities were broken so not much to do in the hotel but we hiked every day and ate out so it was ok for us.

Contras: Breakfast was very basic

Prós: The facility is old but well kept. Communicating with front desk staff was tough if you’re not fluent in Italian, but the staff was very helpful and went out of their way to help. The location is not beach front but a short walk away. Breakfast was a nice treat as it provided wider options than other Italian hotels.

Contras: Simply prefer beachfront

Prós: Nice location, friendly and clean

Contras: Small rooms

Prós: Great location.Close to the beach, restaurants and stores and the train station. No cabs required even with luggage. The breakfast was good--just enough to give me a good start to my day of hiking and exploring.

Contras: A little dated and a little small but super clean and close to the beach and train station and restaurants. The key (a real live key on a key ring) situation was interesting as we are so used to having electronic keys. It's hard to leave the key at the desk like in the old days but the place is very safe so we had no issues.

Prós: Lovely family run establishment, well worth the money-good breakfast and great location in Cinque Terre.

Contras: The rooms are sized well but a bit outdated, towels and linens are basic but adequate. All in all, the rooms are no frill but the treatment was superb.

Prós: Had everything required. Host was very friendly. Comfortable and spacious

Prós: The property was very well located, and the staff was nice.

Contras: The breakfast was very sub-par, and while other rooms had air conditioning our room did not.

Prós: The staff was super friendly. Hotel had a "beach vibe". Less central so you could get out of the people traffic.

Contras: If the bathroom was bigger it would have been great but what we had worked just fine.

Prós: The staff were delightful - they could not have been more welcoming and helpful. The hotel was spotlessly clean with good aircon. Our room had a view of the hills and we could hear the hotel fountain from our window. The location is superb- 1 minute walk from the beach. A fantastic hotel at the price!!!!

Contras: Everything was great!!! There are no problems at all. Just wish we had stayed longer.

Prós: Although hotel is pretty old it is still in very good condition. One of the few hotels in 5 Terre with free parking places nearby. Personnel was very helpful.

Contras: Check-out was not so fast as our car was blocked in the parking lot by the other cars so it took a while to drive-off.

Prós: Location was best part of property. The views are spectacular. The pool is really nice and it’s great that there is a hot tub.

Contras: The room decor and over decor of hotel is old and unattractive. Showers are extremely small. We ended up showering at the pool showers. Room was definitely not worth the $400 + I paid a night.

Prós: The view is amazing both from the room and the restaurant. Breakfast was satisfactory and delicious. Make sure you had prosecco before starting your day in Cinque Terre :) There is taxi and shuttle service. They cover everything you need.

Contras: The pool may be renewed but it doesn't really matter.

Prós: I loved the location of this hotel - the views were amazing from the hotel, breakfast balcony, as well as the pool area. It was an easy walk down to the town. The complimentary taxi to the hotel when you arrive was exhilarating - Mr Luigi drove like a formula-1 racer, in amongst people walking up the path, with only centimeters either side, all while opera on the radio at full volume! We had the cheapest rooms with no view, and they were fine. Breakfast was fabulous, with a lot of variety. We walked down to the beach and spent a morning a the hotel-funded chairs and umbrellas, and that was great (beach is best in the morning - way too crowded in the arvo). The little town on Monterosso has some great little shops for dinner. We walked the trail from the Hotel to Vernazzo, about 1.5 hours, then train back. We had organised a boat trip from Monterosso, which was easy and fabulous (Seabreeze Tours). We also went to Manarola for a Fantastic sunset dinner (Nessun Dorma)- such a beautiful town. We loved the pool area - never too busy, great views, and can get lunch and drinks there. We also sat outside the front of the hotel several times with our own wine/food, and they provided us with glasses and plates/knives etc, which was very kind. My friends had laundry done, price was reasonable and they got it back same day.

Contras: nothing

Prós: Location, location, location! Spectacular views! Amazing private beach and infinity pool with bar/snack and music. Super cool vibe! Hotel is excellent, so glad we chose Porto Roca over other properties in the area. Hiking trail literally starts one step off the property. Would definitely recommend & will definitely return!! Outstanding!

Prós: Cleanliness and view!

Contras: Would have loved to have blackout curtains for a better sleep

Prós: Loved the place. The view was fantastic. Staff were also friendly and helpful. I would recommend Porto Roca to family and friends.

Contras: For those that are older and not in shape the walk up the hill can be challenging. However, the hotel offers pick up and drop off service and it is worth it.

Prós: We booked in for 3 nights and loved it so much we stayed 6. The staff are exceptional the rooms are spotless and big but the highlight is the breathtaking views from the pool and hot tub. Thank you so much for the best 6 nights.

Contras: Not one thing

Prós: The view

Contras: Would need some renovation

Prós: Location View Service

Contras: We booked 2 double rooms. One was beautiful renovated but the other was really outdated old bed showers. Such a big difference. for the price we paid I expect at least a renovated room. Staff was friendly except from pool staff we arrived in the evening and one of the staff let us in to ‘see ‘ the pool. There was a guy that got really angry with us “what are you doing here pool closed!! “ we tried to explain but he didn’t understand

Prós: The room was adequate, but we had a nice little balcony. The breakfast was amazing. The location was perfect!

Prós: Liked the location. Close to everything. Staff was excellent.

Contras: Could use updating on the hairdryer

Prós: Great location!

Contras: Uncomfortable beds, really basic breakfast, room facilities very simple (hairdryer was not usable, plastic cups, soulless rooms), terrace felt in cared for (overgrown gardens).

Prós: locatiom and cleanliness

Contras: WiFi not working at our room. Had to go to lobby area to be able to connect on a stabile WiFi

Prós: The sweetest staff, loved loved the rooftop garden, make sure you have either breakfast or a picnic up there, great beaches in the area, not as crowded as the ones closer to the train station, you are near to the ferry to go to the other towns, or you can always take the train, it’s about an 8 minute walk from the train station, through the tunnel And you get a stunning view of the iconic rock on the beach, out of all the cinque Terre towns it looked like this one was the one with the best beach access and most food and shops options, but make sure you buy the train pass to check out the other towns and their restaurants and shops too!

Prós: The breakfast was great

Contras: The room was basic and the cost of it expensive

Prós: Good selection of different types of breakfast foods, coffee, espresso, tea, etc.

Contras: not applicable

Prós: highly recommend this hotel! great location in old town monterosso, fantastic breakfast, and amazing balcony for the room! would definitely recommend to anyone coming to cinque terre!

Prós: This was a lovely place to stay right in the heart of old town so the choice of bars and restaurants was fabulous!the staff were very helpful breakfast was excellent wonderful variety of fresh fruits,yoghurt ,eggs homemade bakery everyday beautiful!! The beach towels were a very nice touch and the roof top garden a very peaceful place to relax plus it has a great view over the rooftops to the water

Prós: Close to everything, great rooftop

Contras: Uncomfortable bed

Prós: The location of this hotel was fantastic, although it was difficult to find - but that's Monterosso! There are amazing restaurants 50m away and the beach is a 5 min walk away. The room was comfortable and the staff were kind and helpful. I fell ill while I was there and they helped call a local doctor. I was very grateful! The breakfast is also good.

Contras: There is only one small elevator which can get busy and the shower is very small.
