When we arrived we were greeted by Challie and her husband the owners who was more than accomodating to us. From start to finish, she was there to help us with everything we needed. She even prepares breakfast for you in the morning and has fruits/chocolates available throughout the day if you are hungry. She treats you like you are a guest in her house. The views from the property are awesome. The pictures don't do it justice. I would highly recommend you use the spa. The jacuzzi bath overlooks the countryside and is very relaxing. We also did massages and turkish baths. It is one of those hidden gems and I would recommend to anyone looking to relax and unwind. We came on our honeymoon and loved it.

No negatives.

From the Main Street, it is 35 steps up to the main door of the Building then another 25 marrow steps up to the room. Keep that in mind when you're packing your luggage. The owner buzzed us in and allowed us to check in at 12:30pm. They gave us clear instructions for the keys and WiFi. They also charge 1 euro per person tourism tax. There is a coffeemaker, fridge and hair dryer. Bring your own toiletries. WiFi is fast. Power outlets to charge gadgets can be found in headboards and bathroom. Very convenient. One thing I would suggest is for them to leave extra rolls of toilet paper inside the room. The owners don't live there and we didn't know how to call them when we were running out of toilet paper. Also I suggest they have more lights in the stairwell areas as it gets challenging at night if you don't have a phone that has a flashlight. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this room.

When looking for places to stay in Cinque Terre during our honeymoon, Rina Rooms came up as one of…read morethe few places that was both a reasonable and nice looking. Check in is in a small window from 2-5pm, and one of our connecting trains was sold out so we were a bit delayed, but the owners were kind enough to stay around a bit longer to wait for us. It's a very short walk from the train station, although in the directions they send you they'll mention that it's just around the corner from an unnamed pizzeria, but the the street you'll see first is called Via E. Vernazza and not Ettore. You'll find that when you walk up E. Vernazza until you hit a fork and then go left, and you'll be there. Google maps has it placed incorrectly on the right side of the fork. We lucked out and got the largest room, which had a bedroom, small dining area and a bathroom of course. The kicker was the balcony and access to the rooftop patio, which has a couple cabana chairs and a table. When it was too hot to walk around sightseeing in the towns, that was a great place to catch some sun and have some wine, focaccia and limoncello. It was a lot to get for the price we paid, and how little real estate there was in Vernazza. There was a lot of new furnishings in our room and the bathroom, which was nice. We were warned that the owners would come during in the afternoon to do laundry and re-stock breakfast but we were rarely there at that time and they will also do your laundry for 5 euro per wash (air dried on racks and lines on the terrace). Our bed was comfier than some we'd had on our trip in Italy. There was no air conditioning, which was unfortunate given the heatwave, but a couple fans helped make it tolerable. Wifi quality was good. Breakfast was fairly simple - pre-packaged cornetti, cereal and toasts, as well as yogurt, milk and juice in the mini-fridge in the bedroom. It was here that we were introduced to pear juice. Thick and very pear-like, it was so good! Payment is in cash only, but there are a few ATMs in town. Rina Rooms has really friendly owners, and made for a great base of operations in a wonderful little town.

We were able to have dinner at their lovely new restaurant. Fortunately there was a cancellation. We were seated at the bar with remarkable views. But I have to say the food was the main attraction. Kudos to the woman chef, who brought out our food. Everything was delicious ‼ For dessert we did order a chocolate and pear cake, we were not to keen on it so they did bring us out some amazing Panna Cota, with a homemade raspberry sauce.

There are 3 floors and you may have to walk up some beautiful stairs. The double room I was in was modern and very nice and large and very QUIET. Another room I saw was more rustic but also very nice. The service is very personalized. The owner will go out of her way for you. The hotel is in more of a business district and very safe. But there are some nice restaurants close by. I chose it due to proximity to Cadorna station where the airport express runs from. The hotel is a 10 minute walk to the station. You have to walk through a grassy park so if you have a lot of bags you may need to take a 2 minute cab ride. The train to the airport takes 30 minutes and the hotel will help you with the schedule and help you with tickets. I recommend this hotel and I would stay here again!

She provides a mini fridge, safe, kettle in your room, TV, and a little basket of toiletries. Definitely will be back to visit Carola and to stay in this lovely place! There's even a garden to sit out and read if you like, while you overlook the beautiful town of Monterosso. It's such a prime location right near the best restaurants in town!

Monterosso is very well maintained and manicured which is not always the case for the other 4 cities. We love Casa di Andrea - amazing upkeep and quite high tech for a B&B (electronic key card!). Our room was tidy and cute - it looked like it was just recently renovated. The shower had good water pressure, and the shower door could be closed fully to block out water from getting the bathroom floor all wet. Since Casa is located up the hill, I don't recommend this property for older folks or anyone with mobility issue! You will have to climb up multiple flights of stairs. But the pro is that the view is amazing! Carola runs this property and does it with such great taste! Her breakfast, although simple, is actually our favorite among all the hotels we visited on our trip. From the napkins to the cups and mugs, everything was colorful and elegantly presented! We got fresh coffee, fresh cut fruits, croissants, ham and cheese with toasts, and yogurt for breakfast. My husband typically doesn't eat breakfast and hates carbs, he made an exception for Carola because he loved what she put together. I highly recommend this property for your stay in Monterosso! You will have an amazing time!

The hotel is located farther into Monterosso and up a bit of a climb - they can reserve a taxi for you which picks you up from the train station if you do not wish to lug your luggage up the entire way. There are only 2-3 taxis in Monterosso (costs 15 euros each way). Wait to buy your Cinque Terre pass and Via Dell'Amore ticket - they can help you purchase what you need here for up to half off! We also did the pasta, pesto, and tiramisu class here which was a lot of fun! Would definitely recommend it. It is 120 euros per person and has to be paid in cash - there are several ATMs nearby. We were here for the first day of the Lemon Festival (mid-May) so all the shops had lemon themed displays up!

They anticipated our needs by giving us information about the trains and hiking among villages in Cinque Terra. My brother in law wasn't feeling well and stayed at the hotel the first day. Carla called a doctor and also checked on him throughout the day. We all took a cooking class with Carla and it was fabulous. We made tiramisu, pasta, pesto and branzino. She was so patient with our lack of skills and made it fun. We all felt we might be able to do these recipes at home. We ate the delicious meal on an upper terrace with an even more amazing view.
