Would stay again
Pros:

View from the room, breakfast and hotel public spaces.

Cons:

Be prepared for stairs. The views are epic because you go up about 7 stories of stairs. Not a problem for us but the description of a few small stairs is very misleading. Also poor sound proofing from the hallway.

Pros:

Nous avons aimé la terrasse face mer vu 180°, les équipements luxueux, le personnel sympathique, l'emplacement tranquille. Un simple jacuzzi sur la terrasse couronerai le tout qui est déjà exceptionnel.

Cons:

Nous n'avons rien détesté

Über dem Meer frühstücken
Pros:

Hilfsbereites Personal, konnte mein Gepäck vormittags deponieren. Die Mitarbeiterin brachte uns zu den Zimmern und erklärte alles.
Trotz vieler Treppen, ein akzeptabler Zugang. Was ist in den Cinque Terre schon ohne Stufen. Bar und Frühstück über dem Meer auf der Terrasse, fantastisch.

Cons:

Kalkfecken am Boden
