Upon arrival, you'll be welcomed and they will explain their water machine, juicer, afternoon snacks, breakfast set up (8am - 10am) and answer any questions you may have. Breakfast is amazing! All high quality selections, delicious coffee, yogurt, meats, cheeses, breads, focaccia, soft boiled eggs, etc., etc. the croissants are made locally and are amazing. Rooms are comfortable and well appointed with air conditioning that works well. Bathrooms are well appointed and clean. Beds and pillows are comfortable and rooms are kept spotless. Staff are happy to make local recommendations and can sell you hiking trail / train passes as needed. All their recommendations to us were excellent and appreciated. Great location right in the Main Street in Monterosso. Stairs required to enter hotel, so be advised if mobility is an issue but they do have a stair lift but you'd need to ask to use it. Our room (suite) had an elevated bed area that required stairs to access the main living area and bathroom so again, be advised if you have mobility issues. Hotel provides beach bag and beach towels for your use. Parking nearby (at a cost) and steps away from the marina and ferries. Short walk to the new part of Monterosso for the train. Convenient home base when visiting Cinque Terre. Staff went above and beyond to help us dry out when we got caught in the rain. Hiking and visiting different towns in the Cinque Terre are is amazing, but requires a level of fitness to truly enjoy. Look no further... great stay. Hotel is very clean and the owner grew up here and knows everyone in town. Final Note: hotel sits upon entrance to older part of town and small delivery trucks make some noise entering town for morning deliveries but this didn't present an issue for us, but calling out for full transparency and note if you are a light sleeper.

Lets start with the journey to the B&B. The Street is very easy to find but after that you need to…read morefind the B&B itself and considering that it is just a small entrance in the middle of a bunch of small entrances this is quite a task, Please refer to the Google Street View link to make the search easier.(https://www.google.de/maps/@44.40522,8.942412,3a,75y,18.68h,89.96t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1snTJT5NDSp6Oo4WujqTn97g!2e0!6m1!1e1) After you found the entrance, don't even think about searching a parking place anywhere in front of the B&B, especially if you arrive during a normal weekday. Take your car to the "Piazza della Vittoria", and leave it there, you can walk to the B&B without any effort and your car is secure the whole time because there is a surveillance camera watching the place. (cost: 24h = 20€, not cheap but I didn't find any other place for my car) Once arrived at the B&B you will meet the nice owner, she is realy lovely and try to help you wherever she can. She also speaks english which makes the communication a lot easier, especially if you don't speak italien. Even if the stay is very close to a main street, one could say almost "on" the main street, the B&B is quite at all and you don't have problems to find your sleep at night. Rooms are clean, which is the most important thing and the include kind of "classic" furniture but those are fitting the room quite well. Comming to the breakfast, you have everything you need. Not a huge selection of everything but an average and good selection of what the most people like. You have fresh brewed coffee, chocolate, cappuccino or espresso. Selections of fruits and bread. Jam and cold cuts. Overall this place is definitely worth a recommendation.

Air conditioning, wonderful food, exceptionally friendly service. Nine rooms, so it's nice and quiet. Free wifi. Walking distance to beach. Now why didn't I stay longer??? We will be back. No negatives.

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.

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.

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.

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.
