    The walls are very thin, we could hear our neighbours talking and snoring. Would be nice to have a warmer blanket. Breakfast was very simple and the coffee was not very tasty.

    The lady who greeted us was very nice and overall its a nice place to crush over. We had a beautiful view from our window.

    A quaint old building in a beautiful, secluded location on top of a hill with fabulous views.

    You definitely need a car if you stay here as it is in a very secluded spot - not a problem for us.

    The property is in a stunning location, at the top of a hill with great views of the surrounding valleys. It is a charming old building, with a small terrace where breakfast is served if the weather is good. The room was small but comfortable and the host, Rosella, was very friendly. Some reviews make it sound like you take your life into your hands driving up the winding road to the property, but I had no problem with my fairly large MPV car (a Ford S-Max) and at no point felt in any danger.

    The parking situation is not easy, because of the location on top of the hill. Very few parking spots, but nevertheless a rural and normally empty street.

    We had a lovely welcome from the owner. Our room was small, but very romatic and super clean. Amazing view from our room and from the hotel terrace. Nice italian breakfast with brioche, jam, butter and coffee. Highly recommend a car! We did tours to see cinque terre ( 15 min to La spezia main station), but the place would also be nice to go hiking! Great stay!

    Unfortunately, the heating in our room stopped working on days 3 & 4. The room was cool & damp. The breakfasts were only a croissant & coffee. On site restaurant was closed.

    Staying in a medeval castle. The countryside & the view of the landscape was incredible. Local restaurants were super.

    Although our room was very close to the office - We found it difficult to access the Wifi as the walls are quite thick. We had to position ourselves in just the right spot for it to work. The main bed was quite firm and not entirely to our preference. The single bed, however, was ok.

    We loved the breakfast here and the willingness of the staff to help us when needed. Although it was a bit of a hike to get our luggage up the road and up all the stairs to our room - the location was very pretty and peaceful which we appreciated. The bathroom was nice and clean and well stocked. It also had a lovely view!

    The walls are not really effective for sound protection, one can hear the noises in the neighbouring room too clearly. However, if you are a good sleeper and not disturbed by noises, staying here is a good experience because the special location on the top of the hill and the great views are really special. The room was really nice otherwise.

    it is a bit remote, and breakfast is a bit monotonous

    the location is superb and the rooms are super clean. The hostess is very friendly. Breakfast is good, although if you stay longer there is little variation. The fresh croissant is absolutely stunning! Some reviews mention the road and parking, but we didn’t encounter any issues. If one is unable to drive there, please give back your drivers license. It is a very small village (which is part of the charm) so if you expect to park in front of your room you need to re-evaluate your expectations. You can also have two course dinner for 15€ (€24 including wine and desert) which is very good

    The breakfast consists of two croissants, a packed brioche and two packs of biscotte, rusks, with butter and two kind of jam. Only sweet and no cheese or something salty. It doesn't really mather but it's a shame in these mountains. We have bought our bread and cheese. The room have only interior wooden shutters, so it's impossible to leave the windows open and be able to ventilate away from mosquitoes.

    the place was very quiet and isolated. very close to La Spezia and cinque terre
