    We didn't realise that we had to climb up 98 steps (yes, I counted them), some of them quite high, to reach our room, with our suitcases in tow. It was quite a work out. This may not be a good situation for older or not so fit people.

    The room had necessary basic amenities and was comfortable. The 'waow' factor came with breakfast which was served on the deck overlooking the sea and cliffs. This is what I call breakfast with a view.

    If you have heavy luggage, getting up to the rooms is not easy. Many steep stairs and a ship ladder style stairs to get to upper level rooms. I advise the property to provide baggage handlers especially for middle aged or older folks. But, it is a beautiful location!!

    Great location in Cinque Terra!!! Easy access from the train station. Great food experiences. !! Great base location to visit all other Villages.

    My wife eats vegan and there were very limited options for her for breakfast. The breakfast that I had was typical for Italian hotel breakfasts.

    The room was clean. The beds were spartan, but good. The breakfast room/afternoon wine bar was great and the common patio was fabulous. Our room had a street view but was very quiet. I think that it was good value for the money.

    Room was quite dark (but cool and peaceful). Steps to access property and spiral stairs weren’t a problem for us but could be for those with reduced fitness/mobility.

    Lovely secluded shared terrace for the use of guests overlooking coast to South

    The crowds!

    The hotel provides breakfast on a gorgeous patio overlooking the sea. There is also a private patio for guests with the same amazing views. Vernazza was slammed with people during the day but calmed down in the evening. Good restaurants and gelato nearby.

    Wonderful hotel with outside breakfast/bar high above, but 100 steps up to our room!

    We have to beg to have help up with our baggage (we're 73 years old and didn't want to chance a fall without a rail, etc.). I feel that they have to offer help up the stairs if people request or might need it. We were fine walking up and down, but not with our baggage!

    This was a wonderful hotel with an outside bar/breakfast and second patio area above the cliffs with a phenomenal view! The only downside is it has 100+ steep steps up to our room (which was very nice).

    We could not leave our bags when checking out while we were trekking on our last day too, and had to pay and extra cost like 20 euro in an office few meters away ( not far). There is not really a reception, but a bar, and the nice lady brings you to your room (and you have to climb many stairs but that's Cinque Terre.

    Room for 1 night was with 3 single beds as booked. Comfortable beds and linen. Quiet room. Good bathroom. Beautiful view for breakfast which was good, simple but nice.

    My only issue is the twin mattresses are a bit old. You can feel the springs in the beds. They were not to most comfortable of beds but this was not as bad as the B&B we stayed at in Florance. The staff wasn't super resposive to questions emailed online. I only ever got 1 response to 4 different sets of emails even after contacting booking.com. Room is dated in looks for the $200+ a night but the location was great.

    Room for 3 (3 twin beds) didn't have alot of views but it was clean. It is a bit dated inside but was fine to sleep. The views from the top balcony where breakfast is served were beautiful. I enjoyed a sunset glass of wine at the bar/ breakfast area. Shower was compact but worked well. The break fast was great! I was so happy they had gluten free crackers, muffins and breads. It was very much appreciated!!!! It's important to know that the rooms are a hike from the check in. You check in at the restaurant then they take you to the rooms. From the street to the room was step 99 steps. The last 2 flights were a very tight winding staircase. We had backpacks so it wasn't bad. Would be very challanging with big suitcases!! Staff was also kind enough to store our bags after check out so we could explore other towns before leaving at the end of the day.

    The room was warmer than what I would like. We could not figure out if there was air conditioning in the room as advertised. Luckily it was a cool night so we slept with the windows open. And that seemed to help.

    The room location with the outdoor patio overlooking the ocean was really nice.

    Nice property with good views but I visited in winter and the cafeteria was closed. Rooms are very small, so they could have charged 10-20 euros less for winter as it’s off season.
