View is misleading

I stayed at “Camera Deluxe, vista montagna” room. The picture is misleading because the window view is to another house and not the view in the picture at all. Also, the main picture of property (with the balcony view is available only to the balcony room and it’s also misleading). I booked 3H before arrival, and missed the instruction to contact 24H before. At arrival I tried to contact them but they publish wrong number in the property information and didn’t answer to internal message. But customer support was helpful. The room was clean, comfort and has a luxurious atmosphere like the rest of the photos. Except check-in problem and the view it was a good experience.

This room was amazing! Check in was easy and following the instructions got us to the property. The staff was available via WhatsApp messaging and answers all questions promptly. The view was 10000/10. It was the best part. Beyond stunning. Perfect for sunset! The room looked exactly like the photos online and was clean and well stocked. Cost of snacks, drinks, robes, and soap was clearly marked.

Fantastic room with fabulous views! Although there’s no onsite reception, The First team were very responsive and even helped us with a discount for Via Dell’Amore. They also provided lots of helpful information about the area and gave us special treatment at their restaurant, La Regina. The minibar and water are chargeable, but all the details are clearly displayed. We had a wonderful time and would definitely return!

Take note that the ad says stay in Riomaggiore but the room is in Manarola. So make sure you have the location and directions so you know where to go!! You also need to get room entry instructions from the host via WhatsApp. Ensure you have this ready as you do your check in because there is no staff at the location to assist you to get in. Room we stayed in was very nice and clean. There is a great restaurant Trattoria Billy which is only a 2 minute walk from the room. They are excellent!!

The balcony shown was not the one on our property. The room itself was shabby with broken things and generally needed decorating. The door didn’t open using the card as instructed, possibly as the entry panel was smashed. Lights on one side of the bed didn’t work. The proprietor left coffee machine and drinks / snacks. While it’s standard to pay for mini bar items, they charged for water and coffee pods which felt tight given the cost of the room.

Property was falsely advertised. Luggage’s needed to be carried up 4 flights of very narrow stairs. No front desk. Communication was only by email and no response from attempts by phone. The room had NO VIEW other than a tree. They advertised a view from the room. The bathroom was a joke. Miserable property and management. Hotels.com should vet the properties on their site. It’s not all about the money.

This is a great spot however a few tips You’ll get a code and instructions via What’s App so be sure to check that before you arrive Do not follow google map from the train station it will take you up about 500 stairs! Just turn right from the tunnel and go up the hill! Also this is hotel is technically in Manarola not riomaggorie! Beautiful spot and worth the hike to get there!

Amazing views but be prepared for a 600 step hike to get to your room. Unless you have been to the area, your map will route you crazily in finding this spot. I will not return to Cinque Terra.

The property by far has the best views in town. The walk to get there is tougher than you’d think lugging baggage but well worth it. Bathroom and bedroom could use some bleach to get rid of some minor mold but it’s a great place! Host was fantastic.
