This was me and my boyfriend’s first time in Cinque Terre and I found out about this hotel from Trip Advisor and all its great reviews. It definitely lived up to my expectations. To start it’s less than a 10 minute walk from the train station and right in the center of all the action in Old Town. The owner Gabrielle was super accommodating and helpful in every aspect. When we checked in he gave us a thorough explanation of things to do, places to eat, and other recommendations. We stayed in the room at the very top floor, there are no elevators but Gabrielle carried my heavy 50 pound bag all the way up the stairs and back down when I checked out. We stayed in the room with the sea view and terrace. Our room was clean, spacious for the 2 of us and we had an absolutely stunning, large terrace that gave us 360 views of old town. It also had its own air conditioning unit that we were able to control with a remote. The bathroom and shower were small, but got the job done. The room was made up every day and replenished with fresh towels. The breakfast was a large spread with lots to choose from including cereals, pastries, meats, cheeses, etc. Gabrielle made me a fresh cappuccino every morning which was excellent. And to top it off this place is so affordable! Our stay at peak season was only 180 euros ($200) a night. I couldn’t believe it, you can barely find a halfway decent place any travel destination in the US. This stay made our first time in Cinque Terre a very memorable one and I can’t wait to return.
