The owner was so comprehensive, we missed our train stop and ended up check in really late and she welcomed us with her big smile. Perfect location to visit Cinq Terre and the area

Very Nice
The owners are charming. Parking is not on site it is half a km away which makes check in tricky. You have to leave your bags at the entrance of the alley way unattended while you go and park your car with the signora so not ideal. Check in took almost an hour by the time l have found the place to getting into my room. The rooms are tiny, cramped and quite tired to be honest. You get what you pay for here. Hence why the price is €70. Highlight is there is your own private garden that is the best part. My dog loved it. Bonassola itself is a quiet sleepy village which is refreshing after the hordes of tourists at the five Cinque Terra villages. Make sure you eat at Trattoria Delhi Aranci excellent food and reasonable prices. Via Gino Daneri 53 ask for Mauro

Perfect
What can I say, a little bit of paradise. Excellent hospitality from the owners, beautiful location and comfortable room. So relaxing sitting next to the river in the evening. Town a train station a short walk away, though uphill and the way back Free use of their bikes so would recommend riding along the cycle route to Levanto for the more restaurants and supermarkets. Will be back.

Bonassola hotel
Like its name a nice and quite place to relax. Warm hospitality by the owner on arrival. Clean room with air conditioning. About 200meters from Bonassola station but uphill walk. Only downside is my room out of electricity after midnight and still not fix in the morning.

Great welcoming, even though we ended up arriving past midnight. The lady who received us was very friendly and prepared us a great breakfast in her beautiful garden the next day. Truely recommend it and also buy her home made wine.

Lovely B&B
Aida was great and the B&B was lovely. Wish we could have stayed longer. Pretty convenient by train from Cinque Terre, but if you plan to drive, be aware the roads between Monterosso al Mare and Bonassola (where Ca du Ferra is located) are very tricky - especially at night with the steep, hairpin switchbacks. But, my wife and I agreed it was worth the drive to stay at this lovely spot.

The owner overcharged me from the quote on the Internet...she charged me 12 euro for breakfast! Crazy!
Response from Aida Forgione on 26 Apr 2014
Dear Susan, I am sorry to read a review of this kind, because it doesn't correspond to the truth. You have booked a double room for 6th February 2014, 15% discounted for € 46,75. The booking says that the rate is only stay and the cost of the optional breakfast is 6 € per person. Upon your arrival, we asked you if you wanted breakfast for 2 people and you've said yes, so we arranged to pay by credit card and you've signed on the receipt. If you thought of signing a receipt with a wrong debit, why don't you tell us? Because the amount of the receipt was correct! Therefore, we haven't charged anything more than what you haven't used, stay plus breakfast. We are precise and clear people: as written it's not the way we work and don't understand why you did it. Best regards Aida Forgione

Wonderful Ca du Fera
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was a wonderful peaceful experience. It was very close to Cinque Terre without the crush of tourists and a bit of relief from all the hills. We can not wait to return. We wish our itinerary allowed us to stay for a few more days!!

a brief stay
We arrived late and left early. The lay out was quite interesting, the bedroom and the bathroom were both aff of the main hall. They were private and we had the only keys. The room was small but clean and comfortable. Our hostess was friendly and helpful, letting us use her personal computer when we needed to check on train schedules. Not a good place for travellers who are physically impared. The walk up the hill from the train station was steep and the path to the room had many stone steps and uneven paths. all that being said, we had a great experience.

Not so good for two individual travellers
No twin bed rooms - we were traveling as mother and daughter. Cooking facilities were outdoors. Not quite as we expected from the photos, but perfectly ok for a few days hiking around the area.

Great place to stay.
This is a lovely B&B in a quite little village. An ideal spot if you want to visit Cinque Terre. There is a stream running by the flat with a BBQ area, sun lounges, etc. Very private. The room has a queen bed and a set of bunks a fridge and a coffee machine. It is 10 minute walk to the train station, supermarket and the Mediterranean Sea. Ideal place for some R& R after a busy dat sight seeing.

Superb Location & Accommodation
Significantly exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended! Outstanding location with easy walk to train station and parking was a short distance away. Perfect place to stay and visit Cinque Terre. We stayed in Camera 1 next to the mill; a beautiful setting with a running stream adjacent to the room. Hospitality was wonderful and we look forward to staying here again. Definitely will be our first choice for a place to stay when we come back to Cinque Terre.

Great place for bargain hunter in Cinque Terre
We were looking for a reasonably priced place in a quiet location from which to walk the paths in Cinque Terre. We were pleased with this place because it suited us very well. The proprietor was helpful and although smallish, the room and private bathroom was very clean. There is a small view of the sea from the garden which was well equipped with tableware and cooking utensils for outdoor cooking. We did not mind the steps you must take from the nearby train station because we are athletic and did not have much luggage. There are several good restaurants in town and the beach is lovely. If you want to be in the middle of the Cinque Terre, you might want to stay in a closer town ..sometimes a train strike happens for several hours. But we loved the peace and quiet of our town and were very happy with our stay at this modest lodging.P.S. We bought the breakfast which was brought on a nice tray in the morning. of the Cinque Terre, I might suggest you choose a closer town, but we loved the quiet off season feel of the town.

Rural Retreat near to relaxing resort
Rooms fine and clean with coffee making, in midst of a small holding. Eat your nice breakfast in the garden, and then a 5 minute walk to beach and the few bars.

A quiet haven in Bonassola
I would fully recommend this place of peace OUTSIDE of the crowds at Cinque Terre. It is 5 minutes north from the Monterosso train stop and definitely a part of the train ticket that's available for 1,2 or 4 days. Bonassola is a lovely quiet tiny beach town with spectacular gourmet food at a restaurant located on the right side of the beach. It's open from Thursday through Sunday. I would not advise this agritourismo for older travelers with gigantic suitcases; it is slightly uphill and on a partial gravel path. If you are reasonably active and sport a carry-on or backpack, this is a dream come true.

Ca du Ferra
Ca du Ferra was a lovely alternative to a conventional hotel - the gardens were fantastic with lots of shade from the hot sun. It was really nice to be able to cook outside and enjoy the calmness of the surrounding area after a day of hiking. The cooking facilities were good, with all the cookware needed, a gas stove and a bbq. Although our room was small, it was very clean and comfortable and the AC worked well. Breakfast was delivered to our door and we enjoyed eating it outside in the garden in the mornings. This is a really nice alternative to the more typical resort-y hotels in the area and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone wanting some peace and quiet! Is worth noting, however, that the walk from the station involves walking up a steep-ish alley with quite a few steps ... although it is not far, if you have difficulties dragging/carrying your suitcase then this should be considered. All in all a very pleasant stay!

Het verblijf is zeer gunstig gelegen om een uitstap te maken naar Cinque Terre. Met de trein goed te doen wat maar 5 minuten lopen is vanaf het verblijf. Er zijn goede fietsen gratis beschikbaar. Leuk is om bv met de fiets naar Levanto te rijden of het rustig gelegen Framura.

Enkel overnatting i vakre Bonassola
Helt ok sted i vakre Bonassola. Uteområdet er stort og fint, med matlagingsmuligheter for de som ønsker det. Rommet var trangt, men rent, og badet har absolutt behov for renovering. Aircondition blåser rett på sengen, så den måtte vi slå av om natten, dermed ble det veldig varmt. Bestilte frokost, den var ok, men tørt brød hver dag og ingen variasjon i pålegg, kun egg og syltetøy.

Gentile Aleksander, Grazie per la Sua recensione. Ci spiace di leggere cose che non corrispondono alla realtà. Abbiamo camere superior che sono più grandi della standard da Lei scelta. Ovviamente il costo e' superiore. L'aria condizionata è regolabile in modo da non farla arrivare addosso alle persone. Questo viene anche spiegato durante il check-in. La colazione ha un costo di 10 euro e contiene biscotti fatti in casa, torte fatte in casa, pane tostato fatto in casa con farine selezionate, miele delle nostre api, marmellata dai nostri frutti biologici, burro, una bibita selezionata da Voi e le uova dalle nostre galline felici. Per le variazioni vengono tenute in considerazione sempre le intolleranze o le allergie alimentari e qualsiasi altra variazione richiesta. Cosa che da Voi non è stata fatta! Tutta la colazione e' a km0 e con prodotti bio. Detto questo è davvero parziale e non corrispondente al vero quanto da lei descritto, anche e soprattutto per il fatto che nessuna lamentela è stata effettuata durante il soggiorno. Grazie
