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

to get started.

Wonderful location in the heart of Vernazza. Our room was up 129 steps, but had the best view of the ocean and was very clean and comfortable. We loved staying there.

Susie, United States of America

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

Scoober's, United States of America

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

Wonderful room and bathroom with great views and air con. Very helpful staff. Terraces overlooking sea fantastic.

Lisa, New Zealand

We loved our stay at Gianni Franzi. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The location of the hotel, in the town square, is the best in town. There are two verandas-one a shared, private veranda where you can bring your own food or drinks and soak up the views; the other the veranda where breakfast is served in the morning, then becomes a wine tasting spot in the afternoons. We did the wine tasting, and it was amazing. The staff is courteous and helpful. Really, this place is magical and I can't wait to go back!

Heather, United States of America

We loved the location and the ability to sit in the common area near the sea at night. The absolute best experience was having breakfast on the terrace, overlooking the Mediterranean. We didn't want to leave! It was quiet and clean. A small respite from the crowded streets of tourists coming off of the train.

Just to let people know there are some steps to some of the rooms but if you don’t expect to have to climb some stairs than you shouldn’t be in Cinque Terre
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

“Centrally located hotel up on the hill close to the harbour”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
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.
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.

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.
