    Highly recommend this GEM!

    This small family-run hotel is a hidden gem that combines beautiful interiors, exceptional hospitality and a fantastic breakfast. It's truly a wonderful place to stay while traveling. The B&B is located on the second floor. After two small flights, you enter into a cozy and comfortable interior that’s just beautiful. You can feel the history. This main room hosts breakfast, which can either be enjoyed inside or directly outside on their gorgeous patio which overlooks one of the main streets in Monterosso. What a view! The interior breakfast room is charming and subtle, while the outdoor patio is filled with beautiful bright flowers, is tastefully decorated and the ideal for breakfast, snacks, a wine, or socializing with fellow travelers. Our room was spacious had a very comfortable bed and pillows, and was spotless. Nice to haves.....a luggage rack, beach bag and beach towels, slippers, A/C, safe and large bathroom and large shower by European standards. There was a small bookshelf outside in the main room which was thoughtful. Breakfast was exceptional. Freshly squeezed orange juice, pastries, fruit, toast, nuts, cold cuts, cheese, yogurt, some days eggs and personally made coffee and a personally made fruit bowl make it an absolutely perfect start to your day. There’s a complementary water machine, tea and coffee throughout the day. There are just too many small touches to note everything. The owner Giovanni and his staff ( Connie) are exceptional. They are there for any and every question and need.

    The Vernazza room is exquisite! The painting on the ceiling made this a very memorable stay for us. Everything was spotlessly clean. Even though we showed up before check-in time, they had the room ready for us and allowed us in. They also helped coordinate hiking passes for us. As for the location, it was a very easy and scenic walk from the train station. We would love to stay here again.

    Property was a tiny bit noisy. You could hear people in other rooms and outside noise but not a major factor.

    Room was exactly as it appears in the photos. Very spacious and bed was comfortable. Breakfast in the morning was very nice. Terrace is a great place to relax or have a glass of wine of wine. Staff was excellent. Location was up the street from main square but not too far away.

    Giovanni was an amazing host. A very friendly and helpful person. The property is tucked away nicely in Monterosso old town with a balcony terrace that feels like a very quiet and calming oasis away from the busier Main Street below. We used this for breakfast, and also in the afternoon to relax. We’d stay again without a doubt.

    Great location a short walk from train station and right in the heart of town. The breakfast was very well presented and the staff was attentive to special needs. There are several great restaurants and a wine bar within 100 meters of the front door. The outdoor patio for breakfast and afternoon breaks was wonderful with its view of the main street.

    I wish breakfast would have some warm / hot food options. There are plenty of non-hot food items to choose from.

    The outdoor breakfast area was an awesome way to start the day and the service with breakfast was equally great. The food was as expected - only hot food was a soft boiled egg and drinks. The location makes this residence, perfect place and the outdoor breakfast area is a great place for an evening glass of wine. The street is the main street of Monterosso but was very quiet at night - never a problem for sleeping with open windows. Our favorite aspect of the B&B is the staff, very helpful with info on hikes (assisted with discounted hiking passes), trains, and general sites and restaurants. Always a smile and never in a rush. Great job!

    We loved everything about the hotel.

    The hotel was absolutely perfect, right in the center of the old town. Walking distance to the train station and beach. The staff were very friendly and helpful especially Giovani. He served us our breakfast every morning, remembering exactly what we liked. He was so friendly also there was free coffee and pastries throughout the day and you can fill up your water container 24 hours a day.

    The location is very central, accessible to shops, restaurants and the center of the Monterosso. The staff were friendly and welcoming. They offered breakfast in the morning, made us cappuccinos, and an ‘american’ breakfast with eggs that we were craving. There’s a terrace where you can sit and enjoy a morning cup of coffee and make your own orange juice from scratch. They also had a beach bag and beach towels in the room for you to borrow for your day at the nearby beach. I wish i could go back soon.
