Well maintained property in centre of Vernazza - just metres from the main square and harbour. Room was perfect size for family of 4. We loved Vernazza, swimming, catching ferry/train to the other towns. Vernazza was the best for us. Would highly recommend this as your base to see Cinque Terre.

Hotelli aivan mahtavalla paikalla. Mutta, mäen kiipeäminen on rankka jokseenkin uuvuttava matkan jälkeen. Ehdotus, hotelli voisi järjestää pientä maksua vastaan oman kuljetuksen aamuin illoin satamaan ja toinen kuljetus toiselle puolelle. Tämä saattaisi lisätä matkailijoita. Hotelli oli siisti mutta todella vanhanaikainen ja kaipaa ehdottomasti kohennusta tai uutta konseptia. Hirveää tuhlausta jos noin hieno paikka jää käyttämättä.
