Location was apart from the city, peaceful. View was amazing. We enjoyed our one night in this accomodation.

Great hosts and staff and food was fresh and excellent. Lovely view from the hotel

The setting us just incredible. You can’t get better than this in Cinque terre. Gorgeous views, cheap rooms, very clean. The food is spectacular too, make sure you eat at the restaurant in the evening.

Another restaurant across the hill was playing very loud music, and there was no fan in the room so I had to sleep with windows open. We came on a cooler evening and we were still very warm. Also make sure you pre book the shuttle if you want to use it as the hike is lovely but quite difficult

The view in the morning was stunning beautiful location. Morning breakfast was amazing there was so much food.

Lack of information regarding the church on location. If you're unfamiliar with religion's this could be startling to you. We arrived in the evening after 9pm and it was not what we were expecting. Lack of bathroom towels and soap in the bathrooms.

QUITE, GOOD AND GENEROUS FOOD

Lack of parking

The property appears to be monastic guesthouse and is absolutely full of character. Don't expect five star luxury, but the bare rooms, arched walkways, and stunning views all have the most immense charm. The restaurant looks like nothing special - until the food arrives, which is absolutely excellent - and so dinner time is unsurprisingly popular! What a unique place - and slightly haunting on a thundery night. Don't miss the beautiful chapel with its famous statue.

It's a trek from town - so book a taxi (they don't wait outside the station) or take the bus. Staff were a bit scatty, but friendly enough!

The service at front desk was very poor.

Service and hospitality

Location is fantastic, very quiet place and… What a view! Staff is very nice and the food from restaurant was really good.

We have to understand that the Santuario isn’t by any means a hotel/hostel properly speaking. Rooms aren’t meant to be fancy, beside the gorgeous environment… While it might fit to people in search of inner peace whom won’t mind a minimalistic room, we didn’t fully enjoyed our stay. We had a double bedroom with one bathroom, it wasn’t equipped with AC. It would have been nice if one electric fan was provided. Mattress wasn’t really good, my wife and me ended up having huge back pain in the morning. There is a parking available nearby reception and on the main road. One last one as the back of the Sanctuario but tricky to access if you have a low ride car. Breakfast was minimal but ok, croissants are very tasty. Due to the high season, we paid 340€ for 2 nights (two bedroom accommodation. Not sure about this being the usual price… If it is, this is way too much for what we got. We didn’t expected a 5 stars hotel at all and we understood the purpose of this place, but a slight little effort would definitely bring up this magnificent place…

The location is good if you're into hiking and wish to spend some time amid nature. Once you get to new Monterosso town (the first stop on the Cinque Terre tour) you can visit the other 4 villages by train and or by boat.

The rooms are pretty basic (no A/C). If you wish to visit Monterosso beach / old city, a cab ride is 25 Euros. And a limited number of cab companies that operate too. No restaurants nearby

Beautiful views and good on site restaurant. Free taxi to town.

No TV or WiFi in room. Room very poky. A long way from Monterosso so stuck there in the evening. Taxi wanted 25 euros to take us back😮!

the view

no air conditioning as advertised by Booking.com could hardly sleep due to hot room. receptionist rude. no parking on premises breakfast elementary

very nice location up in the hills. Very helpful lady at the reception. Great breakfast and very clean. The hotel provides a shuttle from and to Monterosso.

Unfortunately, it was very loud due to other guests staying at the hotel. Also, the adjacent restaurant (there is nothing else close by) is quite expensive. The location is hard to reach, a shuttle can be booked via the hotel.

Had to park on the street, which was uphill from the hotel. Not right at the hotels property.
