Vernazza hotels

Pros: Great place to stay. Staff was very friendly.

Cons: Staff is not around all the time so you need to plan ahead if you check out early.

Pros: Everything was good. As written before - a few steps from railway station, but we had windows to opposite side, so it was pretty quiet

Cons: Check out at 10 am. At 9:30 the cleaning lady stood near our room and prayed or sang. And it was pretty annoying. I asked her stop mumbling or move from our door. But she didn't speak English. So the last 30 minute when we collected was very unpleasant. May be its the way to force the guests be accurate with check out time? ))

Pros: With one exception, everything about this place was excellent. Excellent staff, cleanliness, location (just minutes from the train station), comfort, and breakfast (although it cost 10 Euros, you could not get equal value on the street).

Cons: Very, very noisy at night, and there's nothing the owners can do about it. The pension sits above and very close to the train station, and lots of trains come through at all hours. Worse yet, just below and across the street from the pension there is a wine bar, open until 1 a.m. each night. Lots of noise form the patrons who congregate in the outdoor patio.

Pros: It is very close to the railway station

Cons: The noise of the trains and announcements at night and early morning. By mistake i left my iPod in the room and it was not handed in.

Pros: very close to the train station 1 min walk.

Cons: The room is very basic. The host wasn't flexiable for us to checkin at 10.30 pm we had to call booking customer service and they arranged it with the property. but when we srrived the host was nice to us. It doesn't offer what we payed for though

Pros: Very quiet and natural space. Nicely situated. Very friendly. Very good and variety in choice for breakfast.

Cons: Mostly everything was explained in Italian. I could make it out because knowing Spanish, French and English languages. If Mrs. GRAZIELLA could have a little catalogue made out in different languages, it would be great help. But whatever she suggested was perfect. From restaurant to visit at the Cinque Terre.

Pros: Graziella is a fantastic host, and will treat you very nicely

Pros: Host is friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean, functional and well equipped. The property is well-organised and run smoothly. We attended a wedding at the Hermitage of Maddalena, which was 10min away by car

Cons: WiFi is a bit hit and miss

Pros: Grazilella was kind and hospitable, explained us everything about the area around and helped with our laundry. The appartments had nice compliments of tea, coffee and some biscuits & cookies, as well as portable A/C. There are parking places which was important for us.

Cons: The appartements are in a quite old house which needs some refreshment. The area next to the house is not much maintained, looks untidy. It is located 20 min from Cinque Terre and in most of these 20 km there is nothing. he value for money is low, it would make sense if costed 30-40€; for actual price of 70€ it is possible to rent much more modern hotels in Cinque Terre itself

Pros: Large apartment, good facilities. Friendly welcome.

Cons: A little hard to find, used mobile Google maps to locate hotel.

Pros: The room was clean but there is no AC and the Wi-Fi is not the best. Other than that, we were provided with clean towels, snacks and water bottles. She even provides pots and pans to cook with in the kitchen. Coffee maker and microwave is included as well.

Cons: This was a great place to stay in overall. The only issue is that it’s very far from Monterosso, at least a 2-hour walk so it’s best to stay here for the price, if you have a car. Otherwise, there is a blue bus that can take you to town and back. The bus only runs in the morning and evening. Last bus leaves Monterosso at 6:45pm. However, we learned that this schedule is only during August. When you get to the Monterosso train station there is a information office nearby that you can go to for more information. Graziella only speaks Italian but she is just the sweetest lady ever! You can use Google translate to communicate with her, she’ll even speak on the phone so it can translate what she’s saying.

Pros: Nice and cosy place in Vernazza, very gentle owners with a charming dog. The room is rather spacious, with a fridge, pleasant view from the window.

Cons: Stairs are not easy to climb - for me is ok but for older or larger people might be an issue.

Pros: Prime location. Friendly host

Pros: Great location in the center of the little village. Room was clean, efficient, and had everything we needed including a Keurig type espresso machine and little balcony.

Cons: Just note you will need to bring your own soap and shampoo.

Pros: We arranged in advance to show up early - just before 11 AM - and the sweet couple that owns the rooms were there working hard to make sure we could get in quickly, though someone else had just left the room. I had expected one large room and was excited to find it was two rooms, one with a regular bed and one with a pullout bed. And they provided beach towels and everything we needed. Great location, too, quite close to the beach but on a quiet street.

Cons: We didn't mind this, but you should know that it is up some very steep stairs once you get into the building. A lot of Vernazza is stair-y but these were particularly steep.

Pros: Beautiful and spacious accomodation in the heart of Vernazza. Extremely large size for 2 people, with seperate lounge area and bedroom. The bathroom was very modern and the entire place was very clean. Rina was lovely and helped to accomodate me with an after hours check in. Vernazza if a gorgeous town on the Cinque Terra with great access to hiking, restaurants and a beach. Would recommend!

Pros: Spotlessly clean and very near train station

Cons: None

Pros: No breakfast due to time of year. View was great but steps a little much. Restaurant was also excellent.

Pros: Absolutely loved the location and the private deck overlooking the sea. The breakfast and wine bar staff on the deck were very pleasant and the food was good. It was a very quaint arrangement of guesthouses and fun to explore. We had plenty of privacy.

Cons: I was not expecting anything fancy so I was not disappointed at all. There were a lot of steps but you get used to it and it was good exercise.

Pros: In a fantastic place

Cons: Need to take stairs slowly

Pros: Outside terraces and views

Cons: Office was closed on check in. We had to turn on our foreign data to make a telephone call to get the key. But in their email They said someone would be at a restaurant to check us in.

Pros: Great location and nice breakfast. Beautiful views.

Cons: The entire staff was very very rude and unfriendly. From the wait staff to the front desk to the cleaning staff. If they’d been nice and friendly, it would’ve been much better. All 4 of us felt the same way.

Pros: The location is great. Staff very attentive. Only minor complaint is the hotel description does not make clear the extraordinary number of steep steps are required to get to and from the hotel from ground level.

Pros: The location was fabulous and the restaurant was wonderful. View from room breathtaking! Room and bathroom spotless.

Cons: We are an older couple and getting up to our room with luggage was difficult....over 100 stairs. Room was a little cramped with no place to put luggage.

Pros: The setting was beautiful and the people very kind.

Pros: A cozy, clean, perfectly appointed apartment with small balcony near train in Vernazza. Provided Hot water pot for tea or instant coffee.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: This place is very low key. We felt the location is the best in Vernazza. We were next to a fine cafe with an american breakfast available and of course great coffee. There was a laundry next door and an ATM 2 doors down. This hotel was the favorite place of my wife on our 18 day visit to Italy.

Pros: Location, clean, comfortable

Cons: No spoons or cutlery even though cups and bowls provided. Nothing to stir a cup of tea with.

Cons: Extremely small shower, cant move inside.

Pros: Very easy and pleasant contact with Alessandra. She was very responsive and very helpfull at any time

Pros: Close to the railway station, center

Cons: Poor connection wifi, reception timetable only until 5pm

Pros: fantastic view and location!!

Cons: I can't think of anything to make the stay better. All met expectations were met or exceeded.

Pros: The room was super clean and nice! The location was lovely with really easy access from the main road. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming and were helpful in telling us what was open in town and where we could go hiking!

Cons: Nothing! It was perfect! Would highly recommend to anyone traveling in Cinque Terre.

Pros: The location was fabulous! It had a beautiful view of the sea. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons: Although they did come in and clean every day, the floor seemed to get very dusty quickly. Also during the winter holiday season (till about 1 March)only about four restaurants were open in town. Other than that it did make it nice because we didn’t have to contend with a lot of other tourists.

Pros: Location was excellent, staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons: The view, lol!

Pros: Absolutely fabulous location. Clean and comfortable. Easy to find, good communication and simple check-in.

Cons: A long climb from the front door to the accommodation.

Pros: Perfect location on the port, favor the room with a view on the port and be ready to climb the stairs.

Pros: Extremely friendly, clean and accommodating. The location was ideal–highly recommended.

Pros: The view and location was excellent. Steps from the main square and beach. Beautiful view of the clock tower, hills and the square. Very comfortable and cute room, small, but we didn't mind. Bed was super comfortable, great sleep after hiking the Cinque Terre trails. Definitely recommend grabbing some wine and enjoying people watching outside your window. Was just perfect.

Cons: There was no cleaning service... No fresh towels, we ran out of toilet paper and because the front desk wasn't located in the same building we couldn't easily request more. For the price we paid we would like the room refreshed daily. Internet was intermittent. Only one of us could get on the wifi at any given time.

Pros: The location, overlooking the water and town square, is perfect!

Cons: The owner/host was incredibly rude. Hours after we checked in and paid what we thought was the correct amount, she knocked on our door and demanded 10 additional Euros. We paid her what she was owed, but her actions and demeanor were inappropriate and unwelcoming. So much so that it worried my son and caused him to cry. This could have been resolved at check-in or via email rather than interrupting our lovely evening after 8 p.m.

Pros: Fantastic location, right on the water, friendly host!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Small but with a harbour view and not many steps up to it.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The only redeeming factor in this stay was the location of the property.

Cons: The hosts are rude and demanding. We booked with a credit card (which they accept) and after booking, we get a message from host saying cash only with another list of requirements. Upon arrival, they wanted us to cancel booking through booking.com so they wouldn’t have to pay the 15%commission. They even had written instructions in English on how to do it. They never replaced a towel or the 2 packets of instant coffee. Nothing they did made us feel welcome. Never a thank you, hope you come back, can we help guide you in seeing the Cinque Terre. Just give us cash and be out at 10:30 am and leave the key in the room. You are supposed to accommodate them and not the other way around. One very night very cafe owner asked us where we were staying. We told him and he said they are not nice people. He actually stored our luggage for us free until our afternoon train. The hosts at Francamaria wanted 2 Euros per bag if picked up before 2:00 and 4 Euros per bag after. This couple should not be in the hospitality business! They are anything but hospitable.

Pros: Frankly speaking, nothing at all. Reception Is in separate building looks like garbage store, we waited 20 min without aircond. Appartment in separate block, but for such money you will get very simple, without mini bar and normal air condition room.

Cons: Owner was not friendly, tried push to get cash payment but we refused. We traveled almost week around Italy and Vernazza was our last destination. Thousand of tourist, price is out of reality, we paid 150 Euro for ordinary dinner. Food not testy and nothing even near with Italiane cousin. If you like visit such place-just use boat, it call to all five villages, but spent night there-useless. Love Italy but this place is really very disappointed.

Pros: Location Cleanliness Check-in process

Pros: Very friendly hosts, great breakfast and tips!

Pros: Great owners, who were very helpful, along with another guest, when we made a driving mistake! The breakfast was excellent. Location, overlooking the Cinque Terre coast from high above was beautiful, even if the weather wasn't.

Cons: The weather! The location above Vernazza, which has limited parking, the poor weather and the late season arrival, made the location less convenient.

Pros: After the initial shock of finding out that the house was at the TOP of the mountain, I was happy the following morning because we had beautiful views. The internet was great (also b/c on top of mountain), facilities clean

Cons: The host did not answer the phone when we called to say we had arrived. We had to ask locals where facility was located and told we had to take a bus to top of mountain. At bus stop we were informed that The bus was broken and a gentleman offered to take us up the mountain (for 25 euros- he had done this before!). Once we arrived at the driveway the host finally answered the phone . Then proceeded to repeatedly ask me why I had not looked at my email to know I had to take the bus and needed to bring my own dinner. I was on a train and unable to access my email. Anyway, I was disappointed about her not being up front on website about location. I actually liked being on top of the mountain but she needs to state on booking.com the exact location and that there are no places to eat once you get up to the facility

Pros: Nima who is the keeper is very kind and nice. We are late to hotel but she is waiting for us till 9 PM maybe. We really love to stay here, also she gives us lots of suggestions for trip. Thank you, Nima. Hoping can see you again.

Pros: Great location, very nice people who take care of your needs. The place is a real hide-away to relax and a great location to start the tour for the 5 terre towns.

Pros: Breakfast was tasty! The room we were in was an excellent size and so clean and fresh. The hosts Nina and Simone were wonderful and welcoming.

Cons: I loved that we stayed away from the main town of Vernazza since it was quite busy with tourists. We were up in the hills outside of the town and it was lovely! The sounds of birds and church bells. No access to restaurants was the only drawback and having to depend on a bus that had very restrictive times of departure meant we had to plan carefully to catch the bus and to get food before we left town that we could take to the hotel and heat up. This place is best if you have a car and don't need to depend on a bus ideally, but we managed quite well overall and just loved the hiking from this spot in the mornings. Really beautiful!

Pros: The host, Mina, was amazing. The property was magical. We will be sure to stay here again if we are ever in the area again.

Pros: Our rooms location was excellent to the main piazza

Cons: Nothing

Pros: We had a great time - Staff were very friendly and patient as we tried to practice our Italian! I would definitely recommend this company!

Cons: The toilet seat and sink were loose - Could use a quick repair.

Pros: Very nice location with excellent view.

Cons: We know that have to climb upstair in this town.

Pros: Just the whole experience. You are always a bit concerned when travelling and arriving in the afternoon. But smooth as glass when dealing with Carmen. I am sure if a mix up did occur she would call around and find you a place so you were not stranded. Just that kind of caring person.

Cons: The instruction to do check-in would be stronger by listing the check-in address e.g. the resteraunt on the main square.

Pros: Our room was very nice, with much character and a nice balcony over the harbor. Ideal place to have a drink at the end of the afternoon. The breakfast is served in the restaurant down the stairs and was very good.

Cons: We came by car and we had to park the car a bit more than 1 km away since one does not have access to Vernazza by car. Paid parking 18E/day. In retrospect, it would have been easier and cheaper to park the car in Portovenere and come by boat. The alternative would be to park in La Spezia and come by train.

Pros: Everything was outstanding!!! Loved the apartment, the owners, the town... It could not have been more beautiful! Thank you!!!

Pros: Location was great, room very cosy

Cons: It was all good, no complaints

Pros: Great location. Beautiful town. Very spacious and clean. Loved staying here!

Pros: Elisabetta was very friendly. The room was kept very clean and comfortable. The views were amazing. Didn’t want to leave.

Pros: Decent breakfast. Good location. Close to station and flat walk. Front desk 24hrs was great.

Cons: Pillows too hard. Bathroom could have been larger or had a shelf for toiletry items.

Pros: Excellent breakfast Great location

Pros: Very good location and excellent breakfast

Cons: The hairdryer

Pros: Nice staff and comfortable room and bathroom.

Cons: Took long time to get hot water from the sink

Pros: It was amazing location which is much more important. Out of the way and quiet.

Cons: Some of the decor could have been a little better

Pros: Location location location! Easy walking to the main beach area, large rooms with a view; quiet but easy access to lively areas if you wanted more action. Safe parking. Nice staff. Perfect weather.

Cons: Water pressure was not great one of the days, but after a few minutes it came back. The cleaning staff also took our beach towels from the room (rented at the hotel), but the staff replaced them with large bath towels as they'd run out. So it all worked out in the end.

Pros: Very romantic location, safe parking

Cons: The bathroom may need an update

Pros: it was a little out of the way and it was quiet.

Cons: the only access was up a very steep path. the gardens whilst lovely were in need of some maintenance and the fountains at the entrance did not work during our stay.

Pros: It locate near the train station. But if you not have your own car, it not suitable to carry your luggage to the hotel.

Cons: The room was not clean.

Pros: location is awesome, great large room, free parking next to the entrance

Cons: bad smell on the corridors, awful smell specifically in the elevator. not exagurating.

Pros: Location and parking

Cons: Everything, the room had a musty smell, the bathroom had mold in it. We felt VERY uncomfortable sleeping there. I hope that we just had a bad room and that the rest of the hotel was not that way. We had reservations for 2 nights but left after the first. Could not get a refund for the 2nd. and I didn't try that hard, we just wanted to leave.

Pros: The staff was very friendly & helpful. The room was small but clean. The bathroom was average size but the shower was tiny! The breakfast buffet had a decent selection & they do make omelettes to order if you wish. The location was close to the train station & the ferry & walkable to dinner.

Cons: The bed was very hard & uncomfortable.

Pros: Staff was really friendly and helpful

Cons: No lift for the rooms on the higher level.

Pros: Wonderful hotel and easy to reach. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend the hotel.

Pros: Staff were extremely helpful. Quiet room. Good location

Cons: Heating in the room was overbearing at times.

Pros: The staff were friendly and breakfast was nice. Room is small and I would not have booked it if I had known there was no AC. Good location and adequate but very pricey for what it was.

Pros: The room was spacious and clean, the breakfast spread was tasty, and the location was wonderful. I would highly recommend staying here!

Pros: Lovely outdoor garden, quaint on site bar and good breakfast

Pros: The hotel was fantastic - our room was clean and air-conditioned, staff was very nice and accommodating and breakfast was awesome!

Cons: The hotel is in the city center, but is a bit hard to find. Other than that no problems whatsoever

Pros: We loved our stay, the staff was super nice and friendly. Great location! We would love to go back one day.

Pros: Breakfast was great with lots of selections. The view down to the beach of Monterosso is just spectacular! We took advantage of the many options of sitting to enjoy the view and have a glass of wine (purchased on site) while watching the sunset. You can see the lights of the 5 cities making up the Cinque Terre from this location.

Pros: Beautiful property with amazing views of Monterosso.

Cons: Too far from town. Have to wait for the free shuttle otherwise the next one is after an hour.

Pros: Location was amazing!!

Cons: The beds were thin and so were the blankets, it got a tad cold at night.

Pros: . The view from the balcony was amazing and the shuttle services is very professional and helpfully.

Cons: We paid a see-view room and they provide us an non see-view room, trying to convince us that the balcony extension has a see view and make me pay extra 10 euro per day for having a normally see-view room.. They close the Hotel from 2 am to 6.30 am. If you would like to get out in this time period, you cant. it is not mentioned in their terms before the booking. It is hidden condition. They do not refill constantly empty croissant and " prosciutto crudo " containers . The lady in black in the breakfast room was every time angry with the young ladies working there.

Pros: The view is magnificent. We didn't have a room with a view because we booked very late, but you can use the terrasse which they call 'solarium'. It has a stunning view over Monterosso and the sea. The staff was really thoughtful. They allowed us to check-in as soon as we arrived, more than one hour before standard time. We've asked for gluten free breakfast and they are really attentive about it, putting a basket of adequate products on your table, answering to all your requests with a smile and being efficient. Very pleasant. The room was very clean and beautiful, with a big balcony, big bed, everything is well maintained, nice materials. The fridge is noisy but big with plenty of space for your stuff. There's a parking and a complementary shuttle to bring you to the village and back every hour or less. The driver isn't driving slowly, but it's very practical.

Cons: Not much to complain about. We rated the location 3 out of 4 because it's a bit far from the village, but you have complementary shuttle and an amazing view as counterpart. The room was a bit noisy in the morning because we were over the kitchen, but on another end, it gives a bit of life with the Italian discussions. The fridge is really noisy, but I don't really know any hotel with silent models. And the fridge was big enough to place goods that we bought earlier.

Pros: Really friendly staff who help with anything you need and although there is no restaurant they are more than happy to make a salad or sandwich if you are a little hungry. Very clean hotel, rooms and communal areas. Although not centrally located the shuttle service to the main town was very reliable and easy to use. The view from the hotel was spectacular and with it being away from he town centre the hotel itself was very quiet. Plenty of on site parking - a rarity in the Cinque Terre. Breakfast comprises cakes, fruit, cereal, coffee (of course), yogurt, cold meats , cheese and toast. Nothing spectacular but is pretty standard for Italian hotels. We would certainly stay there again.

Cons: The hotel WI-Fi was pretty average. A swimming pool would be the icing on the cake and the only thing that is missing.

Pros: The sea view looked out from balcony is fantastic. We arrived a day earlier than we’ve booked, the hotel upgraded the room type and it was very nice. The hotel is located in the middle of hill, but free shuttle bus is offered. We don’t feel the location is inconvenient. The young lady who served breakfast is nice, warm and polite.

Cons: The room carpet that we stay for the 2nd night. It looks worn and

Pros: You can see this hotel from almost any of the other 5 villages, the lone highest hotel on Monterosso's hillside. The view from our room was stunning, and the shuttle bus made it really easy to get back up to the room after a long day exploring.

Cons: Breakfast was basic and could definitely be better, and the rooms are definitely outdated (but this seems to be common in the old towns of Cinque Terre).

Pros: Breakfast was fantastic, lots of selections. Good service. Location was unbelievable, great view, beautiful areas to sit and look at the view. Shuttle into town was very easy and convenient.

Cons: only price could have been better, but still good for the price.

Pros: Charming hotel, friendly and accommodating staff, fantastic location, beautiful view, lovely breakfast!

Cons: The blow dryer in the bathroom :)

Pros: Loved our balcony, shower was nice. Garden was beautiful. Breakfast was the best so far on our trip through out Italy. Great location

Cons: Walls were so thin, noisy man next store, he kept talking on his cell phone. You did nothing special for our honeymoon. Not even bottled mwater in our room. Bed was so hard, flat pillows

Pros: The Location was fabulous and the Breakfast was good lots of variety and nice coffee . Great views from Terrace .

Cons: The bedroom was a as little plain but we only booked a standard room .

Pros: locatiom and cleanliness

Cons: WiFi not working at our room. Had to go to lobby area to be able to connect on a stabile WiFi

Pros: Staff was fantastic. Location was perfect, Breakfast was great, the staff made up hot eggs and great caffes. But best of all, I have to give exceptional credit to the staff for informing us of the National Transportation strike that was going to happen while we were staying there. Because of their interest in making sure we knew what was going on, we did not miss our flight home. Thank you so much - great job!!

Cons: Can't really think of anything. Only thing that came up was the pillow in our room was somewhat flat. Asked for another pillow and everything worked out great.

Pros: Great room with a view of the ocean and old town. Friendly staff. Great view from the Garden. American breakfast included.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: We loved our stay at Albergo Degli Amici. Our room was spacious and had a balcony overlooking the water and the town. Close to everything. The breakfast was amazing. Loved the garden area to have an evening glass of vino.

Pros: Location was as good as it could have been. Our room (437) had an outstanding view of the city and the sea, from a very large balcony. The separate garden was an unexpected delight. The room itself was on the small size, but well designed and furnished. Breakfast was outstanding. Staff very helpful with dining recommendations and taxi reservations.

Cons: We were on the 5th floor, and the elevator malfunctioned the second day there. Staff willingly came to help with our luggage, but it was still a hike. I assume this was a one off occurrence.

Pros: the location was awesome perfect to go hiking and near great food near the beach. Great balcony on top to relax and have a nice glass of wine or whatever. They provide you with a beach towel too!

Cons: like all Europe places the room and shower are small

Pros: The staff was super helpful and the facilities were great. The bed was very comfortable. Super clean room, big size, and their shuttle service works very well. Will stay here again.

Cons: My room had a floor to ceiling window (door actually) but it was covered by a curtain and it opened into a courtyard. If possible, try to get a room with a window that looks outside

Pros: Nice staff, great breakfast, wonder views of surrounding valley. Well kept facility. Centrally located for our week’s worth of activities from Portofino through Cinque Terra to Porto Venere and La Spezia

Pros: A long walk from town

Cons: no restaurant at hotel and 1 mile to town. Shuttle available but 5 Euro if used twice in day

Pros: Lovely hotel. Friendly and beautiful location.

Pros: The views from the hotel terrace/pool were amazing. The place is surrounded by plants and you get an awesome ocean view. The rooms were extremely clean and breakfast was amazing.

Pros: Staff extremely helpful Great English spoken Best breakfast Wonderful shuttle service with endless times

Cons: Everything was greatly
