My husband and I booked the honeymoon suite and were blown away by the incredible views from our private terrace. It was the perfect getaway and wish we stayed more than two nights because it really was so beautiful and relaxing.

The view alone at this property from the balcony is worth the cost! My husband and I stayed in La Spezia and booked one night in Manarola at this property. We took in the breathtaking sunset from the balcony and then watched a lightning storm off in the distance under the stars. A memorable stay for sure!

Lovely residence with amazing views
Beautiful room. Very comfortable beds. Modern furnishings. View is amazing and check in easy and efficient. Staff very helpful on arrival. We were only able to stay one night but would have loved to stay longer. Definitely would come back if available. The area is know for its beauty and there are narrow stairs as it is built into the mountain, but there is also a winding road/path up to the residence so stairs can be minimized. There are two terraces to sit and enjoy the breathtaking view of the town and hills.

Wonderful stunning view and very cute apartment.
Great location, comfortable bed, nice hot tub, epic deck.
Could use a refrigerator or ice machine to chill some wine but honestly the view is to die for.

More strenuous climbing than most cities, but doable for us 74 year olds. Great views from room. Bed and linens are both good.

The property was beautiful, it was the most amazing view and most comfortable stay we had in our trip to Italy. The walk to the hotel is worth it. Keep in mind that if you stay during Orange weather warning period all shops close so you will need to find food in another city. That said this place is still worth it !

Loved the view, the cleanliness of the room. I would have liked a small fridge to store some food that we bought, instead if a small fridge full of drinks to purchase. Also the website says the hotel is located in Riomaggiore when it is in Manarola - caused confusion.

The most beautiful room with the absolutely best view. While this isn’t a traditional hotel (self check in etc) it was a really comfortable stay with a very responsive manager. We had a few issues with Wi-Fi and coffe but the manager quickly offered solutions and fixed both issues. They even let us keep our bags there until 1pm on check out day. The balcony is small, but very comfortable for 2 people to sit for a glass of wine.

It is a mountain village, so expect steps to be climbed. Quite a few of them. The place itself was modern, clean, and with a breathtaking view. Contact was via messaging service, so a working phone is advisable. Enrico was friendly and a situation of need helpful way above expected. Strong recommendation.
