10 hotels in Monterosso al Mare: Best hotel deals for 2023
The last of the five villages along the Cinque Terre strip, Monterosso al Mare is the most visited, largely because it has the only sizable sand beach and the biggest hotels. Though it can get very crowded with tourists during the peak summer months, Monterosso is still delightful. The old town area, separated from the more modern resort area by the Aurora tower, is home to the ruins of a medieval castle and San Francesco church, which houses an important Van Dyck painting of the crucifixion.

Perfect for a Balanced Stay
Reviewed By Tony SThere is a wide selection of places to stay in Monterosso from small and cheap to relatively expensive. The Magherita is towards the top end of the scale but it offers an excellent quality of service. We stayed 7 nights and were not disappointed. The staff are helpful in the extreme and the quality of cleanliness throughout is second to non. Breakfasts are included in the Tariff and the range and quality are extremely good indeed. It is well situated in the centre of the old town surrounded by the many attractions of the resort. I commend it to any potential traveller to the Cinq Terres.

Wonderful hotel, nothing too much trouble!
Reviewed By Ljthompson92Gorgeous views, lovely clean, well organised hotel. Breakfast buffet was delightful. Pool was amazing! Nothing was too much trouble for the staff! We stayed in a basic room that had a small outside area backing onto the mountain side, it was plenty that we needed, and actually the shade helped us cool off in the afternoon.

Great week in Cinque Terre
Reviewed By U3384DXjuliewJust returned from a one week stay with large group . The staff is great . Very accommodating and breakfast was good every morning with lots to choose from . I loved the location right in the middle of old town and easy to get everywhere . Yes there is no elevator but the stairs were not bad I had a great room with a balcony in overlooking the courtyard . Courtyard had tables and comfy chairs to sit and lounge either during day or evening for a drink . Rooms were clean and adequate . Bathroom was a bit small but that didn’t bother me . The only thing is would complain about is the AC unit was pretty noisy and it ended up turning it off at night cause it woke me up. I definitely would stay here again and recommend

Wonderful B+B in Monterosso
Reviewed By debA4030FFWe had a week long stay at this exceptional B+B in the heart of the old town of Monterosso.Superb location to all restaurants and bars; and 10 mins from train station and boat port for easy access to the other villages in Cinque Terre. Giovanni was the most amazing host explaining the hike trails and the ways to explore Cinque Terre.He gave recommendations to local restaurants ( L’Ancora Della Tortuga is a must visit )and even persuaded a local bar owner nearby to screen a football match we were keen to see ,along with another couple also staying there. The accommodation itself is extremely comfortable and cleaned daily by the lovely Connie There was lots of choice for breakfast; including fresh fruit salad ,pastries and eggs cooked to your liking.Tea ,coffee ,fresh fruit juices and waters were available to help yourself to all day on the beautiful flower filled terrace. We can’t recommend this marvellous B+ B highly enough! Thankyou Giovanni and Stefania for making our stay so memorable.

Our favorite place in all the world
Reviewed By My2girls22My husband and I stayed at Hotel Villa Steno 12 years ago for our honeymoon and absolutely loved it. We're so happy to be here again, and it's even better than we remembered. Our room has a balcony with a wide and beautiful view of the town and the sea. The room is luxurious--spacious, beautifully decorated, extremely comfortable mattress and linens, lots of conveniently placed electric outlets. The large bathroom looks brand new with marble everywhere and a large, walk-in shower and great shower head and pressure. Pristine. The owners, Carla and Mateo, are so lovely. They go out of the way to answer any question and help with advice about restaurants and things to do and anything you need. The breakfast is better than any we've had anywhere else! You can order anything you like from the large menu (eggs, pancakes, fruit salad, breads) and everything is absolutely delicious. We especially love Carla's homemade strawberry, lemon and orange jams. The orange and lemon are made from the fruit on their trees in the garden. We're sad that we have to leave today. We're planning to come again and stay longer next time.

Lovely Experience!!
Reviewed By Z3633RKmichaelsMy wife and I had a wonderful overnight stay here during a two day journey to Cinque Terre with another couple. The hotel is on a quiet side street off the main coastal road in Monterosso al Mare, just a five minute (flat) walk from the train station. The front entrance has a large courtyard shaded with umbrella pine and royal palm trees. We arrived early, and the friendly staff stored our luggage for us until our room was ready. Check in time is 14:00 and check out time is 10:30. Our room was well-appointed with a metal shade and security windows. The shower is small - but typical for Italian hotels. We couldn’t get the climate control to work, but it got cooler as the evening progressed and we didn’t need it anyway. Our breakfast was continental-style and the fruit and pastries were very fresh. Coffee and tea are available any way you like (espresso, macchiato, Americano) and the machine is high-end and sophisticated. I can’t say more about the friendly hotel staff. They stored our bags again after we left and offered to let us use a shower and washroom later in the day after we checked out. Grazie Mille!! We highly recommend Hotel Palme for anyone contemplating a journey to Monterosso al Mare and the Cinque Terre National Park. Buon viaggio!!!

9. Santuario N.S. di Soviore
Overall Ratings

Beautiful sanctuary with a pleasant style and a historical value
Reviewed By robertkeusen99The view from the Santuario is beautiful - great location overlooking the sea. It is a religious place dedicated to the apparition of Our Lady on the hill of Arcola, where the sanctuary is located. Very beautiful and well kept. Especially under the altar is the chapel dedicated to the apparition of the Madonna, rich in marble and friezes. When checking in, the reception was not very friendly and in general the staff was not very friendly and helpful either. The rooms are very spartanly furnished. However, I would not interpret it as a negative, as it is a former monastery. You find peace in the silence of the old walls. You definitely get that pilgrim feeling here! There is no toilet in the room. The bathroom is very small and there were no hooks or shelves (and no hairdryer - but pilgrims don't count on that). We only stayed there to sleep and for breakfast. The breakfast was poor and prepared and served on the back burner.... The restaurant was open, but we enjoyed our dinner at "Il Ciliegio", a beautiful restaurant above Monterosso. Soviore can also be easily reached on foot from Monterosso or Vernazza (with a bit of fitness and equipped with hiking boots). The Santuario is in a very good location and there is free parking. A quote from the Buddha says: "Those who are free from the thoughts of thoughts will surely find peace. That is,, after all, the reason why you stay at this place. The price for the simple accommodation is too high, not reasonable and more expensive than our 3*** accommodation in Florence.

You will fall in love with it and you will get to know all the typical plants and flowers of Liguria
Secret garden gives this hotel the edge!
Reviewed By Paul DThe hotel is very well located in the heart of the old town and the rooms are perfectly adequate in its price range. However, to get the best experience you can from the hotel, make sure to book a room on the fourth floor having a balcony with a sea view - stunning. Monterosso is a small bustling town and we really enjoyed getting back to the hotel after a day of walking and sightseeing to then relax in the garden which is located at the top of the hotel accessed from the fourth floor. The sea and village view from the garden is fantastic and we suspect few people bother to investigate this gem as we were usually the only people up there. Great place to take a bottle of wine (rooms are equipped with a fridge) and relax at the end of the day!
