Yvonne, New Zealand

Very close to cathederal and tower excellent location. Room was clean

Julie, United Kingdom

There is lots to love about this hotel, the staff was very friendly and the bed was comfortable. The best thing by far is the amazing deck outside overlooking the sea. You are allowed to take your own drinks and food and sit back and relax with the best view in Vernazza. You are also served a lovely breakfast (on a different deck) overlooking the sea every morning. This positive far outweighs the negative and we had a great time staying at Gianni Franzi.

The location was perched on a very high hill so it was quite a climb to go up and down several times a day. I would suggest taking nothing more than a backpack if you stay there. There weren't a ton of places to eat at in the evening but maybe because we weren't there in high season.
The view from the breakfast terrace was fantastic! The food was great and they have an amazing wine tasting each night with great snacks. Our room was large and comfortable. The location was directly above the town but the climb and descent were challenging. The young lady who checked us in was a sweetheart. She met me after hours to check us in. It was very close to the ferry stop as well.

I liked everything!
We really loved everything. I can't imagine more beautiful views from our room, from the terraces looking out over the ocean, and from the breakfast terrace. Our room was comfortable, and clean. The location was perfect. And the breakfast was delicious and had a nice variety. We loved the croissants and the juices. The staff was also very nice. We loved our stay!

“A nice hotel, definitely rustic, which is part of the experience, but be prepared.”
- • Leisure trip

The room was absolutely tiny. It barely fit the three of us plus our small (rollaboard) suitcases. The towels provided were essentially linens. I understand that Vernazza is not a major resort, but I was expecting something a little bit more, especially for the cost of the room, which was roughly the same we spent in Cortina, for example. Be prepared for a hike to your room - it was 100 steps up to ours, and we weren't even on the top floor. Large suitcases would be extremely difficult to get through the spiral staircases.
I am a fan of European breakfasts, so this one was typical, and worked well for us. The woman in charge was very pleasant and always kept the food stocked. The view from the breakfast/happy hour location was awesome. Air conditioning in the room was very useful. Even though the temperature wasn't that high (70's), it's very humid along the coast, and we exerted ourselves quite a bit on our hike from Vernazza to Riomaggiore

The steps!!! I knew there were a lot of steps, but the final spiral stairway was pretty tight, trying to get a suitcase up there. I didn't remember that information in the final description of our room location. It may be helpful to verify room location specifics prior to arrival.
We liked the breakfast, especially since it was very close to our room!! The staff were all very nice & helpful. We were very happy to be so close to the WinExperience, too!! The hotel restaurant was a pleasant surprise...very good!!
