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

A view to die for! Excellent staff, tranquil setting, fresh breakfast, superb experience!
Reviewed By Tom MLanded in Milan from U.S., with literally no plans to go anywhere except to the coast of Italy. While on my laptop in the airport, searching accommodations near Cinque Terre, I saw the pics of the view of the sea from the hotel. Took a chance and figured for $155/night, and good reviews, what the heck! Book this hotel! The room was basic, no fridge, just a bed, end tables, desk, armoire, and bathroom. The views from the windows and from our spacious balcony were magnificent. Peaceful setting surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, wildflowers, and a multitude of songbirds. A top down view of the closet town, Manarola. A few steps from the hotel and we were walking the mountainside vineyard trails to Corniglia. Every time we ate breakfast on the deck we marveled at the view and the serenity of the local. The breakfast (included) every morning was delicious. Fresh coffee, fresh pastries, fresh varied local fruits, cereals, yogurt, and freshly scrambled eggs delivered to our table. The staff was very friendly, accommodating, and lovely to converse with. The restaurant next door, Locanda Tiabuscion, has a relationship with the hotel and is the "got-to" place to eat superb food. We will be back in the off-season. A view to die for, basic, no frills hotel accommodations, but definitely the place to stay while in Cinque Terre if you desire a base of operations with the best view in town.

Absolutely outstanding
Reviewed By uflgatorAbsolutely an extraordinary experience. This hotel is beautiful- with magnificent views at every turn. The staff are warm and friendly with quite good English. Service absolutely outstanding without exception (although honestly we found this to be true everywhere in northern italy). Breakfast (included) beautiful and tasty. They made dinner reservations for us. Lots of good hiking advice We stayed in the two story suite. I will say the stairs are very steep, which felt a bit treacherous after a few glasses of wine ?. And made harder after sore legs from hiking! I’d probably opt for a single floor room next time The walk to the hotel is quite steep. But no steps and we easily managed with our rolly bags. About 10 mins from the train station. Easy to find. General note: Manarola was actually our favorite town of the five. Charming. Less people. Less touristy tshirt shops. But be prepared for steep climbing everywhere. We are in our 40s and peleton regulars but had quite sore legs after a few days of hiking between the towns.

The terrace of the inn overlooks the historycal centre main street and the inn is a short step from restaurants and shops. The beach and the ferry boats dock are just 2 minutes away as well as the path n.2 leading to Vernazza. We will do our best to give you a special holiday at the Cinque Terre
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.

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!!!

Overpriced, poorly maintained, no communication
Reviewed By JPSRWWWith this property, you are (over)paying for the view -- which, admittedly, is gorgeous if you get one of the rooms overlooking the sea. Otherwise, it's a huge disappointment. We had the 'Aargan' room, and the room itself is OK, if a little lacking in amenities (one outlet, in the form of an extension cord, for the entire room). The bathroom, however, is a pit. The shower is so old and discolored, with broken tiles, that I wouldn't set foot in it. On top of that, the bathroom light wasn't working, and the housekeeper (who was very apologetic) said they couldn't get an electrician while we were there -- so, no light in the bathroom for 2 nights. The owner, who communicates instructions for check-in, etc. via email but is never actually present, did not respond to any of my emails and charged us full price for 2 nights with what was basically an unusable bathroom. Buyer beware. The pictures do not match the reality (and you can enjoy the view for free from the walkway outside the property).

So welcoming!
Reviewed By Veronica HI can’t say enough great things about this place. I felt welcome from the very second as one of the staff met me at the end of the pedestrian tunnel to help with my bags up the steep hill to the hotel (you’ll get used to it). Loris the concierge was so warm and bubbly it was like making an instant friend. I stayed in the charming Shabby Chic room, though I’d argue it was more chic than shabby! Super clean and spacious room/en suite bathroom. Would definitely stay here again!
