Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a cozy place, slightly neglected on the room side, but the charming apartment down the steps felt clean and very comfy. I adored Riomaggiore and found the service excellent, especially with Guilia, Lucca, and Janelle being so helpful and friendly. The location is fantastic, just a short stroll to the marina. The dining experience offered a wide selection of continental delights, including homemade tiramisu. Overall, a lovely stay with minor room attention needed.
I was delighted by the complimentary upgrade to a sea view room in the quieter low season, although the room was small. The hotel provided a small refrigerator and a hairdryer, enhancing our stay in Italy.
I had a delightful stay at the hotel with its amazing views from the balcony and surprisingly spacious, clean rooms. While the distance from the hotel was a minor inconvenience, the overall experience was fantastic. The service was exceptional, with a friendly and welcoming staff. The location, though up the hill, offered a quiet and pleasant setting with a wonderful view of Riomaggiore. Dining was a highlight, with a lovely selection of fresh and delicious treats. The facilities were great, adding to the overall enjoyment of my stay.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean but rather outdated. They didn't smell too good, but they were okay for a short stay. The service was a bit of a rollercoaster; some staff members were really friendly and extremely helpful during a train strike, while others were very rude and unwilling to provide a discount. The location was ideal for exploring Riomaggiore and Cinque Terre, although it required a decent level of fitness due to the many stairs in the area. The dining options were lovely, with a selection of homemade dishes, but some improvements could be made. Overall, the hotel had its charms but also some quirks that need attention.
The hotel is situated on steep hillsides in Riomaggiore, close enough to enjoy the quaintness of the area. The rooms are big and look very nice, but the access is up several flights of stairs. The service is excellent, with lovely and very helpful staff. The location is excellent, though finishing on a hill without taking the lift from the church can be challenging. The dining experience offers a comprehensive spread with lots of choices, especially for breakfast. Overall, a value-for-money stay with some minor inconveniences due to the hillside location.
The hotel had everything you needed for a comfortable stay but could be challenging for those with mobility issues due to the number of steps. The rooms were cool when we arrived home from a hot day, but it would be better if they were larger.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel in Cinque Terre. The rooms offered a beautiful panoramic view, though the lack of hot water was a drawback. The service was phenomenal with always smiling and welcoming staff. The location was convenient, just a short walk from restaurants, bars, and the train station. The dining experience was great, with a variety of delicious options. I found the facilities satisfactory during my stay.
The hotel offers surprisingly spacious and clean rooms, though they may not receive as much attention as other areas. The service is extremely friendly and welcoming, with a nice breakfast included. The location, just out of the town crowds in beautiful Cinque Terre, provides wonderful views from the terrace, but it may be a challenge due to the uphill terrain. Dining options are exceptional with lovely choices for breakfast. Overall, a great spot with minor room attention concerns.
After hot days traveling and exploring the nearby towns, staying at the hotel felt like a refreshing escape. The rooms, while a little small, were a welcoming retreat for us. The hotel staff, from providing train and boat schedules to offering morning hot chocolate/cappuccino, went out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay. The location, though a bit of a hike uphill, was ideal for enjoying the quiet evenings and the superb restaurant nearby. The dining experience, set in a truly beautiful location, offered fresh and homemade goods that left us satisfied. Overall, a great stay with minor inconveniences.
