    This place is amazing! Wonderful location with a great view and a cozy terasse. You have a wonderful view of the village from there, it's very calm and you have some nature around. The breakfast is delicious, and Frederica is very helpful and welcomed me very nicely. Its only 2 min to get down to the main square/centre. If you are not injured, have no disabilities or are average fit, the steps to get up are quite managable, (I expected worse from the former reviews). One of the best places I ever stayed at!

    The treatment it’s a VIP, breakfast, cleaning !!! The view from the rooftop for breakfast is stunning and there are 3 or more ways to get to the main downtown which it’s only 1 minute walk! And they all stunning views . Let me mention again the fresh baked and fresh fruits are amazing Nona makes all fresh every morning ! I truly loved our stay! I have been in other hotéis in the same village and I never took time to leave a review! However for this one how good it was I made time to write !!! Thank you !!!!!

    This is not their fault. But you need to go on lots of stair steps to get to the house. So if you have lots of heavy luggage this is not a good fit. Next time I will stay at their place again if I pack lighter.

    Thanks to Frederica and her mother in law for the hospitality!

    100 steps to get home. I was prepared for stairs but it was challenging after dinner! Can’t really complain as I knew there would be a lot of stairs and it is Cinqueterre. I’d stay there again.

    Fantastic room - everything you needed inc. wine bottle opener. Amazing roof top w views over the town. I sat outside for breakfast every day. It was delightful. Lovely breakfast each morning

    The amount of stairs coming and going had an impact on how we scheduled our days. You don’t want to do too many up and down stairs.

    Lovely rooms, great shower, clean and comfortable. The breakfast in the upper deck was wonderful.

    Francesca and her team were so lovely and made my stay feel so easy and relaxing. The location is fantastic, the breakfast every morning was delicious and the staff were so knowledgeable of the local area. I recommend this place also for solo travellers as well, the limoncello on tap and water bottle every day was a nice touch.

    Federica and the staff were super lovely, very helpful and kind. Was very nice to be served a mixed breakfast every morning. The accomodation was perched in a quiet spot on the hill just 1-2 minutes from the busy area of old town Monterosso. Would highly recommend and stay here again if we were to come back to the area!
