The room and area were fantastic, however, a few things knocked the stars down. First is that the place is quite a walk from the train station with luggage, and was not easy to find. Second, there is no elevator to get your luggage up to the room, so after you are exhausted from making your way from the train station, you also have to haul your luggage up to the room. Third, it wasn't immediately obvious that there was a retractable screen in the bathroom for privacy, so there were some awkward family moments until it was discovered that some obscure little remotes raised and lowered a screen to mask the bathroom. :D The view from the room is AMAZING, and check-in was very easy, with an online process and then picking up the key from a lock box.

This property is difficult to find, almost impossible to open the door (the lock doesn’t work properly) and there’s nobody on site to help if you need it. The room was partially clean (white powder on surfaces) and needed some maintenance (disappointing for the extravagant price). We booked the honeymoon suite and there was a lot of black mold in the ceiling. There was water damage in the ceiling and bathroom. The bathrobe was ripped, there wasn’t enough toilet paper for our stay, everything in the room is for an extra charge. That being said, the linens were comfortable and the view was absolutely stunning!! Really, you are paying for the view. Bottom line… it’s beautiful, but only stay here if you’re fit (it’s a climb to get there) and patient (it’s hard to get in!).

The most beautiful property! Very clean room with stunning views. I would recommend not bringing luggage though as it was a trek getting it to the room (nothing wrong with that just a heads up for future visitors)!

Lovely residence with amazing views

Beautiful room. Very comfortable beds. Modern furnishings. View is amazing and check in easy and efficient. Staff very helpful on arrival. We were only able to stay one night but would have loved to stay longer. Definitely would come back if available. The area is know for its beauty and there are narrow stairs as it is built into the mountain, but there is also a winding road/path up to the residence so stairs can be minimized. There are two terraces to sit and enjoy the breathtaking view of the town and hills.

Think Twice

Don’t stay here!!! This place had good reviews on this site but I should’ve looked at Google. Incredibly terrible customer service at this place that has good potential. This isn’t a real hotel. The staff communicated via WhatsApp which is fine. They sent me instructions on how to check in. However, it wasn’t very clear on how to actually get to the place itself. Once we finally arrived, we got the key from a lockbox. However; it was a generic skeleton key and incredibly difficult to use. We got in the suite and hotels.com sends their usual “how was check-in” email. I answer honestly. They must’ve notified the staff because I then got rude messages on WhatsApp threatening to evict me for leaving a negative “review”. Couldn’t believe it.

The view alone at this property from the balcony is worth the cost! My husband and I stayed in La Spezia and booked one night in Manarola at this property. We took in the breathtaking sunset from the balcony and then watched a lightning storm off in the distance under the stars. A memorable stay for sure!

The check-in process was a nightmare and the staff was incredibly rude. There is no lobby or staff that work physically on the property. We booked through Orbitz. Received a message the day prior asking for our contact information so we could receive the check-in code to get our room keys. I responded through Orbitz as there was no other email provided. I never heard back, so for several hours prior to our arrival I tried to call, no less than 5 times. We were placed on hold for > 10 minutes at a time, then the call would drop. Got to the property could not get into our room, no staff was there, tried calling again with no success. Called Orbitz, who also struggled to get in touch with anyone for > 20 minutes. Finally they were able to get in touch with someone who was so rude, yelled at the Orbitz agent and then hung up the phone. Orbitz called to offer to cancel our reservation and help us find new accommodations. While they were searching for other hotels, I finally received a phone call from the hotel. The gentleman, who would not give me his name despite my asking, was exceptionally rude to me. I explained we had been trying to reach him for quite some time. He told me "stop being hysterical, that's my problem, not his." He went on to tell me that he "doesn't care if we had to end up sleeping on the streets." We were finally able to get in after multiple more phone calls and texts, but I was so disappointed with their customer service.
