to get started.

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

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!!

Location was steps from the sea, train station and the trails. Breakfast service was great with an amazing view of the sea.

David, United States of America

The location was fabulous even with the stairs. Breakfast was good and the scenery was perfect! Wine experience was absolutely the most enjoyable evening! Loved Vernazza, and will return. The room was very comfortable, spotless and our meal At their restaurant was delightful. Thanks!

Very simple yet clean rooms. Rooms where up many, many flights of steps, we didn’t bring luggage only small back pack. Breakfast and bonus terrace overlooking sea had gorgeous views. We wished we booked a room with a view over the sea. We were on the street level with no view and no way to open window. Other rooms had nice fresh ocean air.

“A nice hotel, definitely rustic, which is part of the experience, but be prepared.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Triple Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
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.

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.

This was a very simple, clean room. Not much space in the room besides the mattress. Only thin linen bath towel, but it was large and did its job. Hallways and inside stairways were dark and the stairs may be difficult for some people. I would not have wanted to stay here if I was traveling alone. We got lost windy up from village to doorway where you access staircase to room. If you are in shape for stairs and need a clean room, it’s a good room.
