Lock in a great price for Hotel Gianni Franzi – rated 8 by recent guests!

to get started.

Nice view and very private. We stayed in room 503.

Scoober's, United States of America

Everything was great , the room was spotless , the WiFi worked ok , location was fantastic ,the food in the restaurant was fantastic the breakfast terrace was amazing couldn’t rate this place highly enough

Vicky, Ireland

Fantastic views over the coast but you must be prepared to walk up 100 steps to get there and pay for your luggage to be carried up

Geoff, Australia

Cinque Terre is a favourite for tourist - including us. Vernazza is maybe the most picturesque of the five villages. The hotel was centrally located just below the castle. The original purpose of the building was not looking like hotel. Most of the rooms had common facilities, while our room had an en-suite (everything was available in our room, but in very compact size). Hotel included common lounge (chairs and tables) with open sides to air and a common cliff-side "deck" with chairs, small tables and fantastic views. Breakfast was served in a separate outdoor place with fantastic views.

Hannu, Finland

The breakfast was very good and the patio overlooking the sea was really beautiful.

Patti, United States of America

The views were spectacular. Breakfast on the terrace was a lovely way to start the day.

Lynn, United States of America

The location on the square near the harbor. The quality and staff of the restaurant. The breakfast location and staff.

Anthony, United States of America

Overall, the hotel is great and once we knew where our room was located, we had a great time.

Karin, United States of America

We loved the outside deck with breakfast and the garden terrace all hanging over the sea. A very good breakfast too! Great location

Jennifer, United States of America

Perfect location, very clean and well kept. A bit expensive, but all in all we would choose it again with the right rooms.

One of our top picks in Vernazza.In the heart of the 5 Terre Coast, the Hotel Gianni Franzi features rooms with private bathrooms just below Vernazza's Doria Castle. Its terraces include stunning views of the Ligurian Sea and the village, and Wi-Fi is free in public areas.

In 3 buildings, all rooms at the Gianni Franzi have a simple décor and terracotta floors. Each includes a cooling fan and the private bathroom has a shower.

A few steps from the rooms location and by the village's main square, the property has a bar and restaurant with local cuisine and national specialties.

Panoramic hiking tracks are available nearby.

The property is a few steps from the small sandy beach and the marina and 500 feet from Vernazza Train Station. A boat bus and trains provide daily connections to Monterosso, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.9 for a two-person trip.

Shower water took ages to heat up and was lukewarm at best. Odd smell in the room like toilet with broken pipe. Cleaners knocked early on our door prior to check out time.

“Centrally located hotel up on the hill close to the harbour”
- • Leisure trip

There are a lot of stairs to reach the hotel building, to reach the room, to reach the "deck", to reach the breakfast. Good for physical health, but quite heavy to carry luggage up and down.

We were taken by surprise how many stairs we had to lug our luggage up. That was very hard on us. I knew there were some stairs but didn't realize it was like 5 flights. Also thought someone would be helping us but we didn't get in till about 7 and there was no one.
The breakfast was very good and the patio overlooking the sea was really beautiful.
