It's quaint location in Volastra, high above Manarola, was both serene, and picturesque. Views from the grounds and our room were breathtaking. The 7 minute shuttle ride to and from Manarola was cheap, and efficient. The breakfast was perfect, with a delightful array of high quality fruits, pastries, eggs, breads, juices, and coffee's. The decor was lovely, including the design of their dishes, and cups. The staff was friendly, and helpful at all times. We loved our stay, and considering its relatively moderate price, I would recommend it to everyone going too Cinque Terre, for it's beauty and tranquility. However, if you are young hipsters, looking for 24 hour entertainment, and nightlife, you may want to stay down in one of the livelier villages, below.
