    Unforgettable Escape: A Blissful Stay at an Amazing Hotel

    I can't express how much I enjoyed staying in Stella Della Marina. Gabriele is an absolutely extraordinary person and he is taking care of the guests with so much love. I felt like home! First of all my plane was late and despite the fact that check in is till 9pm. Gabriele kindly agreed to wait and even met me with an umbrella half way (it was pouring when I arrived!) The rooms are very cosy, extremely clean and bed was so comfortable, I haven't slept so well for ages! The breakfast (especially Cappuccino) was amazing, with the beautiful historical view and the outside terrace. Gabriele was so kind and gave me recommendations on where to go and what to see, explained how to get to places and even gave me his umbrella for the day when it was raining ❤️ can't wait to come back someday to this wonderful place. Thank you so much Gabriele for loving what you do and for all your kindness and warmth.

    The hotel was exceptional. Gabriel went over and beyond to look after me and made recommendations for me to visit and eat. All were excellent choices. Gabriel takes such pride in his business and his hard work shows. He is very welcoming,professional, and always smiling. The accommodation is superb, spotless,well maintained, and quiet. The beds were very comfortable, and decor was perfect, an excellent shower, and a spacious bathroom Breakfast was excellent with lots of choices I'm looking forward to my next visit

    I'll Definitely Be Back - Great for Single Female Travelers
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller

    I loved everything! Gabriele is a wonderful and caring host. I'm a 25-year-old female who was traveling to Cinque Terre alone. This was my second time to Cinque Terre and it was immensely improved because of Gabriele. I had an 18-hour travel day due to train delays. I didn't arrive in Monterosso until 23:30, but Gabriele was extremely understanding. He was waiting for me by the main square on the old side of Monterosso to help carry my bags. He carried my 22.7 kg (50 lb) bag up 3 flights of stairs to my room. He also carried them down the stairs once I checked out. He provided me with a notated map of Monterosso and told me to come to breakfast the following morning where he would give me more information/tips. The room was impeccably clean and comfortable, especially since there was adjustable AC. He also provided towels for the beach. Breakfast was one of the best I've had in Italy. There's an expansive selection of meats, cheeses, cereals, pastries, yogurts, breads, coffees, fruits, and small snacks. He has a fancy coffee/espresso machine and makes cappuccinos/coffees to order. The view for breakfast is breathtaking. You have a clear view of the ocean/beach/clocktower from both the inside and outside portion of the terrace. I spent multiple mornings sitting on the terrace, reading, and enjoying breakfast pastries and a fresh cappuccino. It's a wonderful start to the day and better than any breakfast you'd get in town. Gabriele is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to traveling around Cinque Terre and things to do. He has wonderful restaurant recommendations close to the hotel and authentic to Monterosso cuisine. Whether you want to go hiking, relax on the beach, or explore Cinque Terre, Gabriele is a great comprehensive resource. As a single female traveler, I felt extremely safe and would recommend this hotel to anyone.

    This might be our favourite holiday destination to date. The property was great, very clean and comfortable. But the host, Gabriele, is amazing. We’d seen a lot of great reviews about the property and host but this still exceeded expectations. As good as hospitality gets. Close to all the great restaurants and the beach in the old town. Breakfast each day at the accommodation was the cherry on top. Thank you again!

    Incredible location next to the main street and very close to the best public beach. Gabrielle is a wonderful host, he told me everything about the hikes and recommended how to split them between the two full days that I spent in Cinque Terre, while also allowing some time to swim. He also got me breakfast to go when I told him that I was going to miss breakfast because of the early time I started the hike. Will definitely recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Monterosso (which is also the perfect town choice if you want to swim as well as explore the hikes) and will stay here if (or hopefully when) I go back to Cinque Terre.

    I loved everything about Stella Della Marina. The host, Gabriella, was super friendly and couldn’t do enough to help. He carried my luggage up the stairs, made me coffee every morning and gave me advice on the best places to eat and visit. The hotel was in a wonderful location, close to everything. It was spotlessly clean and had good bathrooms.

    Gabriele is a wonderful owner/manager of this hotel. Very friendly and gave great recommendations about restaurants and things to do. The hotel is in a perfect spot for Monterosso - in the old town which is so much lore interesting than the new town. He gave me a beach towel to use for my day on the beach. A wonderful hotel and at a great price. I would go again in a heartbeat

    Nothing not to like.

    This is probably the nicest hotel I’ve stayed at on this trip. Really a beautiful boutique hotel just metres from the beach and the centre of town. Of course it’s a small town. I wish I had stayed here my whole time on the Cinque Terra. Beautiful rooms, super clean and comfortable and a great breakfast. Really if you see this come up in your search grab it. It will make your trip perfect. Also the manager just was so helpful and went out of his way to make everything perfect. This place is a gem. 10/10

    Well, what we loved most about our stay was Gabriele, the owner. He was so kind and gave us great suggestions on places to eat and things to do in the area. The location is superb! It is located in the older part of Monteroso, which in our opinion is much more authentic and quainter. There are many fantastic restaurants with several shops located within steps from the hotel. Our room had a nice view of the Ligurian Sea with a very short walk to the marina which was very convenient for meeting our boat for our sunset cruise. It was also a great location to begin our hike along the coast. Loved the breakfast as well. Very memorable stay with a fantastic host! Highly recommend Stella Della Marina!

    Again overly tourist inflated area just I. General, prepare to wait for everything. Hiking trails even packed but that's just the area not the hotel.

    Great location, great service and attention to detail and help with things like where to eat or go hike, almost overwhelming area with the strange parking situation and so much to do. Great view from rooftop lounge.
