Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, with breathtaking sea views from my room balcony. The service was top-notch, and the location on the cliffs of Vernazza was simply stunning. The dining experience overlooking the Mediterranean was fantastic, but there were minor issues with the facilities.
The hotel offers stunning sea views from the balcony right in the heart of Vernazza. The rooms are cozy with a comfy bed and a great shower, but some may find the shared bathroom inconvenient. The service is excellent with a welcoming shuttle service and a nice touch of a welcome drink. The location is unbeatable for exploring Cinque Terre, directly on the cliffs of the castle in Vernazza. The dining experience was enhanced by the included unlimited espresso with WiFi access, but the classic fried fish may not suit all tastes. Overall, a charming hotel with incredible views and a reasonably good dining experience.
The hotel is perfectly situated overlooking the ocean, offers clean and comfortable rooms, and the staff is exceptionally welcoming. However, the dining experience, with limited breakfast options, leaves room for improvement. The price reflects the value, although additional amenities may incur extra charges.
