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.

My husband and I ended up here by booking a diving trip through Portofino Divers. It was absolutely…read moreamazing! We did not know what we were getting into until we arrived at the dock and were told we had a 20 min hike up the mountain to get to the farm house, but it was worth it! The hike was beautiful, with a waterfall in sight almost the entire hike. Once we got to the house, we were greeted with exceptional service and offered lemonade and shown to our room. The room was beautiful! It has a cozy, rustic feel and the sight of a waterfall from our window. The staff set up a dining area outside overlooking the most gorgeous view of the mountains and the water. They brought us appetizers, first and second courses, and dessert and coffee. The food was phenomenal! In the morning we were greeted with breakfast of assorted cakes, cheeses, jams, breads, cereals, juices, and coffee while overlooking the water. It was a wonderful time and highly recommend to anyone who has the opportunity to go here and enjoy the sounds of nature!

It really is a mansion placed 3 minutes from the marine centrally and very close to good restaurants. It IS city and daytime noise from playing children and traffic is present if outside but inside it cannot be heard. There is good air conditioning. The breakfast is very nice and sufficient although not a bit continental breakfast. You get your own key for entering at all times. You can not hear your neighbors and you have a floor for yourself.

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.

The room was ready for us even though we arrived early and sadly could not respond to Sara on what's app. Everything was provided for us, the only complaint is the pillows.

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.
