The views are lovely from the room but the hotel is advertised as having a restaurant, which it did not. A buffet breakfast was on offer at additional cost, but otherwise the receptionist advised us to walk to a restauarnt nearby. As it happened, we decided to drive to one of the Cinque Terre ports for dinner, but overall we were disappointed. The photographs portray the hotel in a very good light, but we do not think this was good value for money at all.

So peaceful and quiet after visiting the Cinque Terre towns. Beautiful views, wonderful breakfast for a small cost, and comfortable rooms. I would stay here again for sure, would rent a car next time but we were able to get around using shuttles and trains to see the area.

Rooms are on several floors without an elevator, so be prepared to climb. Our bottom floor room leaked from the bathroom window, so we were moved to a higher floor for the second night. Breakfasts were sparse, but location offered beautiful views from the decks. Short walk to lovely restaurant was a nice surprise. Nice staff, which should get better with experience.

Check in was easy and the host was so hospitable and kind! Would definitely stay here again!

The location, a couple of kilometres outside Riomaggiore makes this an easily accessible location as a base to explore Cinque Terre, especially if you have a car. There is a regular shuttle available which the hotel recommends you use, but we got by fine driving as close to each village as we could get and then using paid parking facilities near each village. Sometimes you get lucky and find an open parking space nearby but that usually means a bit of a walk. The hotel is good for what you are paying for - 3 star. The building and interior is showing its age but the room was spacious, clean, reasonably comfortable and with a good view. Breakfast won’t really appeal to visitors who prefer English breakfast but ok if you’re fine with some fruit, croissants cheese and cold meat. They serve breakfast in the restaurant area or on your balcony.

Great view but you need to be in the know before you go! Access to a car is the best bet to stay here. It is pretty isolated with the exception that there are two restaurants within walking distance. The hotel boasts a restaurant however only really a breakfast option we learned. The closest other eating options were completely booked so we were about out of luck except that the closer one took potty on us and fit us in at 9:30 pm. Not a problem as we eat late especially in Italy but it could be and again we got lucky. Turns out the food there was fantastic! We had to pay 15 Euros for a cab up there but the front desk guy said it’s easy to catch the shuttle down and gave us the schedule. Lucky for us we were there early as we were about the last that fit in and got surprised to learn that you need to go online and pay in advance for your shuttle pass - which we had to scramble to get done while standing on the shuttle. Beautiful view and relaxing stay just be prepared. We would never have chosen this as an option if we had all the facts. We were on foot and the logistics to get there really would have knocked this out as a possibility for us had we known all the facts. Gorgeous view though.

This was a more run down hotel. Not like the pictures. Honestly was a little shady when we got there and through our entire stay. If I hadn’t prepaid I would have left the first night. Rooms had bugs in them (I killed at least 5-10 in the two days we were there). Says it’s a bar and restaurant but they don’t have one, and it was just super uncomfortable. Would not recommend staying here.

Perfect view over the bay

Only one room left for us at the top of a steep climb of steps. Would not be good for disabled or elderly. Restaurant not open at night at the time. Staff ok. Good views.

We were really disappointed with our stay. This hotel is very very basic. The bar and restaurant were shut in the evenings, no fridge in the room, dated decor and furnishings and very noisy. Noise from other guests really travels around the place. We were regularly disturbed. There is a free shuttle bus which runs a limited service to Riomaggiore., but last bust back is 8pm. If I had to make the choice again, I'd stay in La Spezia and get the train to Cinque Terre... They run every 20 mins.

The hotel is very clean and comfortable. Could use some updates. If arriving via train from la spezia to riomaggiore make sure to get a driver as hotel is not close to town. Pack lightly. The view from the hotel is beautiful.

The location provides easy access to Riomaggiore via shuttle bus, however, the service is less frequent than we expected and in the evening the bus was full on the return journey so we had to take a cab which cost 20 euros rather than 2:50 pp on the bus. Bedding and room facilities are very basic, and we felt these were less than we expect from a 3* rating. Breakfast was fine, very nice fruit, and the usual Italian items. Staff were pleasant and whilst helpful, did not give us the right prices for transport. Would perhaps consider staying there again because of the location, which provides a good amount of parking, which was essential for us as we were on a road trip.

Loved my balcony room! Not much around as hotel sits alone on cliff ! My rental gps did not and locals were not very specific in directions.

WiFi not working, room very basic for the economy room. The only difference was supposed to be the view, but we had to stay in an adjacent building to the hotel that was not very nice. At least the A/C was working. Stuff was nice, but the place was not one I would recommend. Make sure to check bus schedule if you are not driving because they don’t run very often. This place is way out of town.
