A fabulous stay in Monterosso! A real gem!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 18 Nov 2024
Loved, loved, our stay at La Colonnina Hotel in Monterosso. We stayed 3 nights mid-September, and wish we had stayed longer! So glad we opted for our 3 nights, 4 full days while enjoying all of the 5 towns in Cinque Terre at this lovely boutique hotel. A large buffet breakfast was served in their breakfast room, and it was the perfect start to the day. One can also relax on the front patio or above on their small rooftop terrace with some wonderful views. Our room had a private patio which was especially nice. This charming hotel is a short, easy walk from the waterfront. Quietly situated on a side street. Oh, especially wonderful was Antiana who was the greeter of all who enter, she manned the front desk, poured our drinks from the tiny little bar, answered our many questions, etc., etc., and was soooo delightful in chatting with our entire stay. Our stay at La Colonnina Hotel was the perfect ending to our 17 day Italy vacation. When we revisit Cinque Terre we will definitely make this hotel our home base again. Thank you La Colonnina Hotel, Antiana and staff! Tom & Michele from Boston.
Date of stay: September 2024
Room Tip: An overall positive experience! Antiana is a real asset to this charming hotel.

We found this to be a most charming hotel with attentive staff, an excellent breakfast with home made items and a lovely shady garden in which to relax. We greatly enjoyed our stay and would happily stay there again if we return to Monterosso. A real gem

The staff is very friendly and welcoming. You get a welcome drink and pastry on arrival. They sell the cinque terra park card right there, which is very convenient. Breakfast is delicious with lots of food variety. Room is clean and comfortable. They have a lovely roof top terrace for sunbathing and snacking. Location is excellent in the old town and 15 minute walk from the train station. Highly recommend this hotel.

A nice little hotel, with great staff that want you to have a good time.

Staff are more than willing to recommend & reserve restaurants and bring drinks from the bar to your room - some of which have a nice big terrace with sun loungers.

The hotel is accredited to an eco tourism scheme, so can issue heavily discounted tickets for the Cinque Terra hiking routes and for the trains.

There’s a large roof terrace, well equipped with sun loungers.

Room tip: Ask the hotel for restaurant recommendations & reservations.

Excellent hotel. I think it is family owned and the front desk people were extremely nice and helpful. Rooms clean, centrally located and the breakfast was great. There is a roof deck but we didn't use it due to it being cold. the staff got us train tickets, too.

No problem recommending this hotel

Room tip: Stairs to enter. If an issue, you may want to talk to staff. The front desk closes at midnight although you can get in after hours.
