Rooms a little dated

Location and view and well run - very organized

The fan in the bathroom works on a sensor and EVERYTIME it triggers it comes on even when you are not in the bathroom.

SO clean. Very attentive staff. GREAT breakfast. Shuttle service works really well. Very quiet away from the noisy town.

The only minor problem, given the location, was lack of tea making facilities in room. It is available on request but we didn’t want to put staff to an inconvenience. As I say, only a minor issue.

The location is ideal, perched above the Ligurian coast, the views are wonderful and it is very quiet. It is up a steep and winding road, but a free shuttle bus, just about hourly, is very efficient both ways into and from town that makes repeat journeys if necessary. Buffet breakfast is amongst the best I’ve had and the staff are brilliant. Special mention to the lady on duty each night who made our nightly cups of tea when we got back, she was really friendly and immensely helpful, but all the staff we encountered were excellent.

Relying on the shuttle isn’t ideal.

Beautiful view, good size rooms with outdoor space

The views were outstanding. Breakfast was great. Shuttle service to the town worked well.

Clean comfortable rooms, good breakfast, free parking, great view, free shuttle into town, discount on park tickets, friendly and informed staff. Third time we have stayed here and the quality is consistent over the years.

Breakfast was great. More than you could eat. The location was up on a hilltop overlooking the Mediterranean. The rooms were ultra modern including the bathroom and we had a huge balcony. There was a shuttle that ran often to take you down into town and back to the hotel.

The orange juice on the breakfast buffet was not up to standards: way too diluted according to my taste. Otherwise the breakfast buffet was rich and well organised. On windy days the lack of airtight doors leads to a whistling sound which can be disturbing during nights. In general, the sound isolation could be better but is probably due to the time of construction of the hotel. These are however minor points in an overall very positive appreciation.

The hotel is located somewhat outside of the busy village at about 120 m above sea level. Needless to say that going down to and particularly getting up to the hotel from Monterosso was some good sport. Luckily enough they have a very efficient shuttle service that runs up and down at least once every hour. The view from the balcony is breath-taking: you oversee the 5 villages of the cinque terre. The people at the reception couldn't have been more helpful

A first-rate place. I will definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Cinque Terre. I would especially like to note how professional, friendly, and accommodating the women who staff the front desk are. I hope their bosses know what a good job they do. Excellent supper options for those looking for a bite after exploring the villages. Great view from the terraces--a nice place to relax.

We would have liked to be on the top floor but our floor the first still gave us views to die for but you could hear people above walking around as there are no carpets in the floor.

Location stunning up a mountain with views over the whole of the cinque terre- we like walking it if you don’t - do not choose this hotel- the town is a very steep walk up and down but there is a free shuttle every hour but if you don’t want to walk you have to wait for the shuttle but that’s no harsh up when you’re in holiday. The breakfast was varied and filling and sorted us for the days walking and exploring. The place was sooo clean !

There was nothing we did not like about this hotel.

We loved this hotel. Beautiful views of Monterosso from our balcony, very clean spacious room, really nice breakfast and a lovely little bar serving coffee and drinks!

Stayed in October 2023

Generally everything was very good. We are so appreciated about our stay. If I have to say something which we did not like so much is the comfort of the bed. It might be improved (or maybe this is not valid for all the rooms. Maybe we were unlucky and there was something wrong with our bed)

The staff, breakfast, cleanliness, and view of the hotel are amazing. Before the visit, I was little worried about the shuttle, but it never became a problem. You can easily adjust yourself according to the time of the shuttle and even you miss it, you can still walk. Every one hour it goes from the hotel to the town and from town to the hotel. And even it is crowded, it makes couple of more rounds.

With the hotel so far away , a shuttle was required to get to restaurants and the beach area

The hotel was perched high above the sea , which gave us beautiful views of the sea and beaches!

Nothing it was all perfect.

The staff were very friendly and helpful and the location was exceptional.

Stayed in October 2023

Great variety at breakfast each morning, staff were lovely and the shuttle bus was regular and really easy to get around to the town or back to the hotel.

Stayed in September 2023

Not really a negative but personal opinion, but the decor in the breakfast room was outdated a little. The breakfast was good and ample selection.

Beautiful room with sea view and balcony. Amazing view of the sea from high vantage point.

Stayed in September 2023

Our 2nd room was located above the kitchen and next to the elevator, so it was noisy at times. We had a sea view room on our 1st night. Extra spacious with a balcony and view of the sea. Pay the extra for a sea view or balcony if you can, it's definitely worth it. The decor was a bit outdated, but that's my personal opinion.

Amazing location overlooking the sea with plenty of sunbeds or seating to enjoy the view. A little bar was available and the ladies at the front desk were very obliging in attending to your needs. Plenty of areas to relax, both inside and outside. Shuttle bus was a handy option to get down to the village. Everything was immaculately clean. Enjoyed the fact it was located on the edge of a national park so I could take little walks and explore the natural environment. Quiet location away from the noise of the village. Generous offerings for breakfast. Management and staff were exceptional.

Because the hotel is away from the Main Street, the evenings and mornings were so quiet and peaceful. The views are unbeatable

Shuttle to city. Easy to walk down, but heavy to go back without shuttle!

Stayed in September 2023

Nothing - everything was great.

Shuttle taxi between hotel and monterosso was very good. View was fantastic. Hotel was spotlessly clean. Staff very friendly.

Stayed in September 2023

Competition between some guests for the shuttle service into town, although the hotel has addressed this by ensuring the bus does multiple runs if guests are left behind

Breathtaking views of all five villages. Well appointed rooms and facilities. Exceptional service.

Stayed in September 2023

Nothing. Would stay here again most definitely.

The location high atop the hill overlooking the town of Monterosso. Free parking, with an hourly shuttle to/fro town. The staff were very helpful. Offer discounts for Cinque Terre train pass, beach etc. Great breakfast each morning.
