Hotel Porto Roca

Probably nicest hotel in Cinque Terre. The service was awesome, the pool was so pleasant with a great view, the shuttle to/from the bottom of the hotel made it a perfect trip. Rooms were very nice with sufficient closets and drawers. Bathroom clean and staff was excellent. Definitely a 5 star experience. Dinner was delicious and breakfasts were great. Highly recommend!!

The garden suite far exceeded our expectations! The private patio, views of the sea, separate living and bedroom, two bathrooms!! We booked last minute and had to switch rooms mid-stay, the staff made it seamless. The pool area and bar were such a welcome reprieve after a long day in the heat. Don’t let the hill scare you, a mini shuttle will take you up and down. The breakfast buffet and terrace were also beautiful.

This hotel service is amazing. The restaurant staff is friendly and caters to your every need. We felt like their special guests every time we entered, for breakfast every morning and several dinner dates. Highly recommend! Amazing people! Grazie mille!!!!!!!

This is the only hotel to stay in the whole of Cinque Terre. Amazing facilities and location. We loved the friendly service, quality food and drinks. A must visit!

The views from this hotel are unbeatable. The pool was amazing, we lounged every day. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. We loved our stay here.

This is a lovely hotel with great service, a truly special place. Wonderful breakfast, beautiful pool, and complementary beach club access. Incredible views and just removed enough from the hustle of the crowds, a few mins walk away. Highly recommended.

Hotel Porto Roca was a lovely place to stay on our honeymoon! The staff were lovely, friendly and attentive. The room/hotel was clean and comfortable, and had a fantastic view over Monterosso. The food at the hotel restaurant was also one of our favourite meals in Italy. Would definitely recommend!

Everything about this place is perfection. It takes effort to get there which prevents mass tourism from being at your front step. It’s gorgeous at every turn, the staff is incredible, the restaurant food amazing, the pool side drinks and food are refreshing, and you can’t beat an infinity pool. Don’t miss the hidden trail below the pool to cliff jump! It’s easy to access, safe, and so fun! We would absolutely come back here and recommend to friends.

The setting is amazing. The staff is incredible. Nothing but great things to say about our experience at Hotel Porto Roca. I even got the maitre d' to email me on how to get bottles of the incredible wine they serve that is made right there in Monterosso. Above and beyond is an appropriate title for this review.

Amazing experience, fantastic service, perfect location. As soon as we checked in the hotel, we knew it was a great place. The entire hotel staff was top notch and super helpful and friendly, and made us feel special. The location is up a steep hill but the shuttle service was quick and easy to request if you don't want to walk. Being secluded on the hill was perfect for views and feeling secluded from the crowds. The pool and pool bar was amazing, and the private beach was excellent touch as well. Dinner and breakfast are well worth attending as well. We will definitely be staying here again the next time we're in Monteresso!

You just can't beat the view! I believe most if not all of the rooms have a nice view of the water. The pool is a fantastic feature and we spent all three of our afternoons in it after taking guided hikes all morning. The water is a bit cool but refreshing. The pool bar staff were all very nice and provided great service. They have a small shuttle bus that can take you back and forth from the main area. You cannot bring a car up there yourself so if you are driving you must have to leave your vehicle in another location. The breakfast was delicious and came with a view! Many of the rooms have a private deck which we enjoyed. The beds were comfortable and the hotel was quiet, no noise complaints.

Our stay at Porto Roca was very nice. The hotel location and pool was amazing. The rooms were small but comfortable and we had an amazing view of the ocean which we loved. I think the lobby bar area is very old and needs to be spruced up with some more comfortable furniture so we could hang out there. There is no where to just sit with friends inside and the bar space has a lot of potential. We did really like our stay.

We didn't want to leave! After a busy first week in Italy seeing as many sights as we could, it was amazing to come to Monterosso al Mare. Our 3 night stay at the Hotel Porto Roca was relaxing and beautiful, and we wish we would have stayed a few more days. The hotel staff were the friendliest we encountered during our entire trip! Hope to be back someday!

My wife and I have stayed at Hotel Porto Roca before and found it to be the most relaxing place on earth. We recently took our family to Cinque Terre for their first time and stayed at this same hotel. They couldn't believe it when we arrived.
We will never stay anywhere else.

Stunning! The location couldn’t be better. Very friendly staff. You need to be able to walk up a big hill but they also have a small shuttle. Comfy beds. Loved it!

Amazing hotel! Fantastic service! Beautiful views! Delicious food! Highly recommend.

Other than one hiccup in the beginning, we had a wonderful four day stay at Porto Roca. The hiccup was when you arrive, be sure to contact the hotel in advance and get the porter van to pick you up to take up the hill.
The room was wonderful and had a very large private deck to enjoy the sun when not exploring the town in the trails.
The room is very quiet. We slept very well.
The location was wonderful For access to the town and to the trails. Walking between the main town and the hotel up the hill was
easy and a nice stroll.
We had a truly wonderful evening in the hotel restaurant with the rain outside, making it seem like we were enjoying dinner in a rainforest.
The breakfast were wonderful, and there was a lot to choose from.
Hotel Porto Roka very much exceeded our expectations.

A great hotel in Monterosso. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. The pool was beautiful and a nice addition after hiking. The property is very close to the blue trail. The hotel is uphill from town but they have a shuttle to take you to/from the bottom of the hill. A must stay in Monterosso.

Beautiful hotel in stunning location. Exceptional restaurant with amazing views. Friendly helpful staff. An unforgettable holiday in beautiful Cinque Terre.
