Nancy, United States of America

Wonderful location near the harbor yet tucked back by the cliffs, so it was very quiet. Free breakfast was served on an open-air terrace overlooking the sea. It was an easy walk to train station. Do not take luggage. We packed a backpack for 1 night and kept our luggage at hotel in La Spezia.

Mary, Italy

Location was fabulous Arrival staff initially cold - unfriendly but warmer second day Breakfast staff very friendly

Susan, United States of America

Amazing! We stayed 4 nights and loved this location in Vernazza. Able to easily find from the train station, and travel between all 5 Cinque Terre towns. Staff was very nice and spoke enough English to communicate with us ignorant Americans. Loved the breakfast, and the views are spectacular. Hotel restaurant was lovely.

Allison, United States of America

We loved loved loved the common area patio for drinks and for breakfast overlooking the ocean from a cliff!!! Beautiful! Our room was street level which was a climb through several alleyways and 100 stair steps. (Trust me -it’s true...). Since our window opened directly to the pedestrian alley, it was very noisy till around 11 pm. Also we never could get our WiFi to work. On the plus side .... Room was clean and serviceable. We loved Vernazza and Cinque Terre! Gorgeous!

The room was very noisy, noise from both inside the hotel and outside. There was also a hole / pipe in the bathroom that we think connects to the bathroom next door due to the sounds we observed. BUT we took one of the cheaper room options (with ensuite). The hotel is split into two buildings and I think the other (more expensive) rooms would not have the noise issue. So maybe splurge on a more expensive room. Or try the room without the ensuite to avoid the bathroom sounds. Alternatively, just pack some earplugs if you are a light sleeper.
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.

“Breathtaking views in Vernazza”
- • Leisure trip

Just be aware there are A LOT of stairs to climb and that the shower may leak onto the floor because there wasn't really a full glass wall or door to it. As a fairly fit early 30s couple we were OK with this.
