Pros:

Good instructions to find it, nice and easy check-in. Pretty reception and room once up the stairs. Little fridge which was a plus. Comfortable and cozy stay, with easy access from the train station and right on the harbour.

Cons:

Noise carries easily through the walls from the other rooms.

Great staff and location if interested in being very near the action, definitely worth the cost
Pros:

We chose Albergo Barbara for our first time visiting Vernazza and Cinque Terre primarily based on it's convenient location to the main area of that village. The property was noticeably clean and well maintained on a daily basis for our 2-night stay.

The staff was incredibly helpful and went above/beyond to ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible, including carrying my wife's carry-on luggage from the ground floor to our room and taking the time to point out their favorite local restaurants, gelateria, and other areas worth seeing.

Cons:

It's a minor inconvenience and probably not worth mentioning, but the lack of an elevator is probably my only gripe, mainly because my wife's ankles were pummeled from the excessive walking in Rome/Florence prior to our stay here. It would have been a luxury to avoid enduring another set of endless stairs, complete with a tight spiral staircase as the final leg of the journey up top.

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.
