Excelente escolha para explorar Cinque Terre
Pros:

Nossa estadia no Alberto Barbara foi perfeita! A equipe é extremamente atenciosa e ficamos em um quarto com vista para o mar, que tornou a experiência ainda mais especial. O quarto conta com banheiro privativo, boas amenities, cama confortável, ventilador de teto e ar-condicionado, oferecendo tudo o que precisávamos para uma estadia agradável. Vale apenas destacar que o prédio não tem elevador, algo importante para quem viaja com malas pesadas ou tem dificuldade com escadas. No geral, achamos o custo-benefício excelente e não poderíamos ter escolhido lugar melhor para usar como base durante nossos dias explorando a região de Cinque Terre. Recomendamos muito!

Cons:

Gostamos de tudo.

Perfect stay!
Pros:

Great location right by the water front and restaurants. Our room had a great view of the ocean and beach also. We had one of the double rooms with shared bathroom, we only had to share the bathroom with one other room and had no issues, the bathroom was kept very clean and tidy. The staff were lovely and gave us so many great recommendations for activities and food! Thank you!

Cons:

Lots of stairs to walk up as the property is on the top 2 stories of the building but well worth it for the view and the staff offered to help us carry our bags up :)

Perfect location, friendly staff and incredible sights to see!
Pros:

Location was stellar! The view out of our window was unlike anything we could have imagined. We were worried about the shared bathroom, but it worked out just fine!

Cons:

The slanted ceilings made it a little difficult to navigate and it was a bit challenging to prop the window open, but we figured it out! We were busy sightseeing, not laying around in our room :)

Pros:

What a location. You are onto a winner if you stay here. The best greeting upon arrival and when you exit the building: you arrive in the middle of the town square. Great local recommendations on eateries, walks and bars. Thanks for going above and beyond!

Cons:

I DIDNT LIKE.. LEAVING!

A really lovely stay in Vernazza.
Pros:

A nice, functional, clean, and tidy room tucked under the roof. Fantastic location on the town's main piazza, with the option to go for a swim right on the doorstep. Easy access even outside reception hours, and good communication with the helpful host.

Cons:

Not suitable for people with mobility issues.

We had an amazing few days here
Pros:

Well, the view is amazing. Not just of the water but of the main square of the town. You literally can go outside and be swimming in the warm Mediterranean water 40 pieces right outside your door. there's literally not a better location in this town.

Cons:

I really couldn't have asked for much more.

Unique hotel location with fabulous views of the sea
Pros:

The young man who checked us in was very personable and helpful. The location and the sea view from the room were incredible! In the sea view room, there was a complimentary bottle of prosecco, much appreciated, and which we all three enjoyed. It was also wonderful to walk downstairs and have a choice of very good outdoor restaurants, often with a great view of the sea. There is no elevator, so you must carry your bags up the stairs and walk up & down them to get in and out of the hotel.

Cons:

It was a bit hard to find the lights when coming into the pitch-dark hotel at night.

Все чудово, гарний варіант для літнього відпочинку
Pros:

Чудовий готельчик. В номері чисто, гарно, кондиціонер. Я не додивилася при бронюванні, що там є два номери зі спільною ванною і випадково забронювала такий, на наступний день в інший номер до цієї ванної заселилися росіяни і вкрали мою косметику, але адміністрація поспілкувалася з ними і все повернули. Поруч багато закладів, прямо біля виходу з будинку пляж, до залізничної станції менше 10 хв пішки

Lovely, clean room in a lovely location.
Pros:

The staff and location are excellent. Really friendly and helpful and informative.
Perfect for the trains.
Lovely village but quite a severe hike to the walking trail. Not for the faint hearted. After the hike, the flights of stairs to the accommodation was easy.

Cons:

Unfortunately, we had noisy neighbours who talked loudly for many of the early hours. I would recommend earplugs.
