"Very nice location, close to town and a short taxi to the train station. Parking was a problem, but we eventually found a spot. The perfect place to stay if you plan to have an all day adventure in Cinque Terre. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was convenient and nice! We had a nice view of the water, although smaller than was advertised."

"I had a very brief stay here in order to visit the city of Cicagna, but the staff was super helpful in navigating the public transit and helping me store my bag during the day until I got back to catch a train. This would be the perfect location for a summer visit to the seaside there!"

"The location is great just few minutes walk from the Monterosso train station . Also just few steps walk to the Fegina beach. They clean the room everyday. We stayed 2 nights. Not a big fan of their breakfast coz I like a hot breakfast… but overall was good."

"This is an old hotel but very well maintained. The breakfasts are amazing. The rooms are cleaned every day and the staff is SUPER friendly, this hotel is family owned and the owner bends over backwards to please his clients in every way possible. My family and friends had a great time and the train station is very near."

"Clean room, hotel good proximity to beach. Bit of a walk uphill but OK. Staff friendly & breakfast was adequate although they need to amend the charge from advertised $10 euro to $15 euro on their website!!"

"We were off season, the restaurant was closed except for breakfast. The room had that smell (meaning it has been present at other hotels in Europe, but I don’t know the cause… drain pipes u used?) …but it was clean. There is parking, which was needed.
Due to extreme weather, we checked out a day early, but did not get any refund as the cleaning staff had left for the day.
A decent place to stay… would not discourage anyone."

"Very nice place, 10 min bus ride from the train station. Quiet and peaceful and close to different hiking trails. Antonella makes the best capuchino and the breakfast is prepared fresh every day."

It was a lovely time, the room was small but fine for my boyfriend and I. It wasn't a too far walk from town and I liked how there was a garden and seating area outside. Levanto is beautiful!

Wow, what a spot. Just across from the beach, restaurants, shopping. It’s all right there. And our own huge private terrace with a great view. They were very helpful with everything. And the short walk to the private parking was helpful and less expensive than the public garage.

Highly recommend Pensione Sorriso for a stay in Vernazza. Evelyn was a wonderful host and went beyond expectations in helping us enjoy our stay. The hotel has a bright breakfast area/lobby and a nice patio/garden to enjoy. We stayed in a room with a private bath and balcony. Although no sea view from the rooms, there is one from the patio and the sea is only a two or three minute walk from the hotel.

Extremely comfy beds and pillows, cold a/c, big shower, staff very friendly, luggage storage, beach towel & shower available on checkout day after going to beach! Short 5 min walk from train station and 2 min walk to beach. Would recommend.

Such a hidden gem! We wish we could stay longer and will definitely do so the next time. The hotel is up in the mountain, 10 min away from the Manarola bus stop, perfect location for a quiet and relaxing retreat, The bus runs every hour and is 2.50 Euro if you don't have Cinque Terre pass. Antonella was very kind, hard working, and amazing host who took care of everything we need. The hotel is meticulously maintained and breakfast was freshly made and so delicious. If you are wine lover...

This eco-friendly hotel is a hidden gem. The house is comfortable and clean, situated in the mountains. The couple that run the hotel are AMAZING. They were very much on top of supporting our family while we stayed there.

I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting La Spezia, Portovenere or Cinque Terre. Short car drive to catch the ferry or train! House has a beautiful Mountain View, Italian breakfast was amazing, room was comfortable with a very nice bathroom but most importantly, staff was very welcoming and gave us amazing tips as to how to make the most of our short stay in La Spezia. We will be back!

A nice little place in a great location! Very easy walk to the beach, trains, and into town. Room is nice enough, only had a few complaints but they wouldn’t stop me from staying again are:
-there was no actual mini fridge, just a wine fridge and nowhere to plug it in.
-construction woke us up at 7:30 one day and cleaning woke us up at 8 another day. Cleaning would also unplug the wifi to vacuum.
-first place we’ve been that you have to give the front desk your key when you leave each...

We booked this room based on the reviews and ratings this B&B received on Expedia. We were not disappointed with our choice. A beautiful location nestled in the hills above La Spezia. It is both a nature retreat and a great strategic location for visiting the Cinque Terre area in Italy. Its quaint but extremely satisfying as it provides a respite from the crowds and noise of the Cinque Terre tourist attraction. Located above La Spezia you have easy access via bus to train station.

The hotel staff made us feel like we were right at home; we felt like we were staying with friends. The hotel was close to the train (which could be a bit confusing at times). We used the beach near the hotel which was wonderful after a day of touring. The hotel staff were very attentive and helpful when recommending restaurants, etc. Our room was clean, beautiful, and one of the biggest rooms we've had in Europe.
