First, let me share the great things about it. The location is fantastic with lovely ocean views and it’s easily accessible from one of the town’s two elevators. (Which, let me say, as an avid hiker I never thought I would find important until I was in Cinque Terre for 6 days.) Second, the host was amazing and got us reservations at the best tables at the two fantastic restaurants in town. So enjoyed that. Now the candid negatives. They have to have some of the worst hotel pillows we’ve ever had. They were so thick and hard that we ended up emptying the pillow cases then searching the hotel room for anything else we could stuff into them to make them tolerable. Second, you can’t help but hear every noise in the adjacent rooms whether they are next door or above you. My husband and I routinely use ear plugs while traveling, but they couldn’t drown out the sounds from the other guests. So in conclusion, I write this review with a heavy heart because the place had so much to offer, but the detractors were just too much for us. But maybe try it anyway and see for yourselves.
