Really nice and helpful staff! They upgraded our room and gave us a delicious bottle of wine. We stayed here when going to cinque terre for the day and they were very helpful with our itinerary.

I booked this place last minute after a stressful experience elsewhere, and it exceeded all expectations. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, the room was spotless, and everything felt well cared for. Such a relief to find a place like this — I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and professional stay.

The hotel was nicely decorated and the rooms were equipped with all the necessary amenities. A couple of things to have earned a five star for me would be as easy as providing slippers and a robe in the rooms or limited dining options (e.g., cheese and fruit plates, sandwhiches) for those not wanting to leave the hotel after returning from a long day out. Otherwise, it was great!

The location was excellent for our trip to Cinque Terre, an easy walk to the train station. The staff were lovely and helpful. Parking was tight even for our small rental car but it was doable and super convenient to the hotel. You have to reserve in advance as there are only a few spaces. We also loved the prosecco we got as VIP Expedia members. It was a fun stay.
