It was overall a nice experience to stay there. People are so kind and helpful. They helped me when I injuried myself. There is a nice little garden where you can take your breakfast under lemon trees. Room was very clean. All the services work well as promised. Honest price. Thanks,

FAQs about hotels in Cinque Terre

Cliff-Hugging Beauty

One of Liguria’s most beautiful areas, the Cinque Terre are 5 UNESCO World Heritage-listed villages dramatically positioned on the Mediterranean coastline.

Each has a train station, but the most exhilarating way to visit the Cinque Terre is on foot. It’s not easy at times, but is definitely rewarding. The route starts (or finishes) at Riomaggiore, the southern-most village, home to a range of accommodation including a few Cinque Terre hotels on the beach.

The easy road between here and Manarola is called the Via dell’Amore, or Lovers’ Lane. Colourful Manarola houses hug the rocky cliffs overlooking the turquoise water below. The next village along is Corniglia, the only one not by the beach, but which offers panoramic views from its hilltop position.

Next is Vernazza, arguably the most picturesque of the 5, spread over a narrow promontory jutting into the sea and with a castle tower at its tip. Still very much a fishing village, it is centred around its small harbour and beach.

The longest beach is at Monterosso al Mare, the last town on the trail. Due to its location and easy access, it is home to what are possibly the best Cinque Terre hotels for families on Booking.com. However, whichever village you choose to stay in, you can expect wonderful views and fantastic food.

    I had the pleasure of staying at Baia Hotel in Monterosso, and I cannot recommend it enough! From the moment I walked in, the cleanliness of the hotel was immediately noticeable. Every corner of the hotel, from the rooms to the common areas, was impeccably maintained. The fresh, inviting smell throughout the hotel added an extra layer of comfort, making the entire experience even more pleasant. But what truly stood out during my stay was the private beach experience. The hotel provides access to a beautiful, well-kept beach and the presence of lifeguards made me feel incredibly safe and at ease. I was particularly impressed to see that the lifeguards were not only attentive to the guests on the private beach but were also helping people on the public beach nearby ( For example, I saw them assisting people who had been bitten by jellyfish, lost items ...)

    We just stayed at this beautiful hotel with my family and had the most wonderful experience. The hotel itself is stunning, with breathtaking views from absolutely everywhere — our room, the restaurant, the breakfast area, and even the pool all offered incredible panoramas that made the stay unforgettable. The staff was amazing — truly one of the highlights of our stay, specially the Venezuelan brothers — they were very kind, helpful, and welcoming. The breakfast was delicious and well-prepared, with plenty of options to choose from, and we also enjoyed a lovely dinner at the restaurant.

    Charming Monterosso al Mare has the largest selection of...

    Charming Monterosso al Mare has the largest selection of hotels, shops and restaurants compared to the other Cinque Terre villages. We used it as a base to travel to the other four villages, which with hindsight was a great decision as it is less steep compared to the others. It is very easy to travel between the villages by train but if you're fond of hikes, there are numerous trails which can be followed to get to each. We did the section of the Blue Trail (Sentiero Azzuro) between Monterosso and Vernazza which was very steep and took about 3-4 hours at a slow pace. The STUNNING Via del Amore (Lovers walk) from Riomaggiore to Manarola is flat and very easy. You would need about 3 days to see all the villages at a leisurely pace but allow more time if you plan to do several trails. The moon rise from the promenade paired with a busker singing live in Monterosso al Mare is breath taking and evokes an indefinable sense of inner peace. Since we stayed there for five nights, we had ample time to visit historical Porto Venere, a short ferry ride from La Spezia. After walking around for a few hours, we took a boat all the way back to Monterosso al Mare which was definitely worth it for the alternative views of the five villages. Another option for a location of the Italian Riviera to visit is the glamorous and star studded Portofino. Whatever you do and wherever you are, do not miss the delicious gelatos and freshly made lemonade! They're everywhere! Have a fantastic trip!

    Perfect area to search Cinqueterre by boat or by train - both terminals up to 8 minutes walk. We were adviced by Martina and that is way we visited Portovenere as weoll even there is no train just boat to go from Levanto

    Riomaggiore is a vibrant town.

    Riomaggiore is a vibrant town. Loved being outside at night with the restaurant sounds and bars playing music. It felt safe to walk around on my own. Enjoyed the harbor view and proximity to boat rental and tours. Beach was nice and small and not too crowded. Ferry is right there, too. Highly recommend staying in Riomaggiore.

    Vernazza is one of the most attractive of the 5 Terre. Not too steep and although very busy opened up into 2 nice piazzas. Swimming was fantastic. Very easy arrival by train. Highly recommend staying here.

    Great village to be based if you want to explore Cinque Terre. The train station is only a short walk from everywhere and there are various food options for breakfasts and dinners. The village itself is very cute and we could see everything in half a day.

    Portovenere is a perfect place to stay, if looking for a quieter place but similar scenery to Cinque Terre. Lots of things to do from hiking, boat trips to other resorts and well connected to La Spezia by local bus.

    Picturesque, relatively small and quiet compared to the other cinque Terre towns. Centrally located so I could begin day walks in both directions. Best not to carry heavy luggage up the hill from the train station (around 380 steps) - use the bus… only 1,50 Euros but expect to wait 15-30 mins at peak time. The walks to Vernazza and on to Monterosso, and also the walk to Manarola are magnificent, just be prepared for lots of steps.

    Deiva Marina is a nice smaller town by the sea, which is very clean. The town lays in the valley surrounding by green mountains. There is an excellent train connection through coast, you can comfortably go to Cinque Terre, La Spezia, Portofino, Genoa.
