“Excellent long weekend stay!”
Rustic, very clean, brilliant host Federica, fab breakfast every morning, location ideal for exploring cinque terre, it accurately matched the description on the booking, Federica helped make a fuss of my partners 40th birthday with decorations in the room which made it special!

“Its a great location and near the local beach”
The breakfast is excellent with loads of choice and a great view from the roof terrace. Its a bit of a climb up some steps to the hotel if you have heavy bags.

“Well looked after in an attractive guest house in a charming location”
It was clean and very tastefully furnished, as well as having the quaintness one might expect in a historic cliffside village. The room was serviced daily. Federica and her mother in law were excellent hosts, helpful whenever needed, and cooking superb breakfasts, with fruit salad including locally sourced fruit, and figs from their own tree; croissants and pastries; and eggs in different forms, with the option of ham and cheese, with bread and butter and focaccia; and coffee in various styles. Also copious quantities of fruit juice - we had orange and pineapple, but other options were available. Breakfast was served on the rooftop, so good views of Monterosso below and the hillside above, and a bit of sea on the other side. The rooftop had some sofas as well and was available throughout the day. Ice was available in the hallway, and also limoncello with no extra charge. It should be born in mind that there were only 3 rooms, and 2 staff, so with BnB capability rather than hotel. Water was supplied daily.

This place is amazing! Wonderful location with a great view and a cozy terasse. You have a wonderful view of the village from there, it's very calm and you have some nature around. The breakfast is delicious, and Frederica is very helpful and welcomed me very nicely. Its only 2 min to get down to the main square/centre. If you are not injured, have no disabilities or are average fit, the steps to get up are quite managable, (I expected worse from the former reviews). One of the best places I ever stayed at!
