The best available Bed and Breakfast Inns to stay near Italian Riviera

April 27, 2023 Moriah Teneyck

Liguria, or the Italian Riviera, boasts a bounty of beaches and resort towns, such as tiny but tony Portofino and stylish Rapallo. Hiking trails lead from Portofino to the villages of Cinque Terre. The Riviera of the Setting Sun runs north from Genoa to the French border. Connected by an extensive rail network, most towns make easy daytrips from one another. Genoa is the region's principal city and is home to attractions from its famous Cathedral and the Palazzo Reale to an excellent aquarium.

Wonderful Stay

Reviewed By TravellerStephan88

The hotel is simply fantastic and beautiful. Better than many 5 star hotels I visited. Pity there isn’t a pool. Hotel is in the centre of Genova. A stone away from the port, city center, museums, station, shops. Practically everything. The building was renovated to the highest standards with real designer finishes (not ikea furniture). The level of detail and attention is incredible. Towels, bathroom products and room gadgets are of finest standards (not even 5 star hotels provide you anymore with eyes masks etc) The common area is a great! Really can’t find something wrong about it.

Absolutely outstanding

Reviewed By uflgator

Absolutely 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.

Wonderful B+B in Monterosso

Reviewed By debA4030FF

We 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.

Coffe, juice, buns, ham&cheese, joghurt etc. Our chamber had 2 windows, one with balcony with table. Fridge, little safety deposit box in closet, big table, 2 chairs, big bed and air conditioner! Everyday fresh towels, soup, shampoo, everything is cleaned.. I like it.

Daa Maduneta

Nel dare il Benvenuto agli Ospiti li rendiamo partecipi della scelta del nome della struttura e delle camere frutto di una lunga e meticolosa ricerca volta a mantenere immutata nel tempo le tradizioni del luogo. Daa Maduneta rende omaggio al rione che la ospita, e ad accogliere gli ospiti il vessillo originale degli anni 70 eretto dai ragazzi del rione impegnati in vari tornei e disfide estive. Sesagra, Magnagra e Ruspara sono qualità di uve tipiche del posto che garantiscono la produzione dei pregiati vini locali. Tutto questo per far sì che gli ospiti possano, oltre che godere della bellezza del contesto che si ammira dalla struttura situata in posizione dominante sul mare, coccolati nelle curatissime camere, sentirsi durante la loro permanenza parte integrante della storia e della cultura locale. La struttura di recente ristrutturazione si propone di accogliere e soddisfare i propri clienti in un contesto naturale a soli 30 metri dal centro storico, alle spalle della Chiesa di San Pietro e partenza del sentiero n° 7A Corniglia/Manarola, distante comunque quanto basta da caos e rumore. Le camere sono arredate con mobili d’epoca sapientemente restaurati, i complementi d’arredo sono interamente realizzati a mano su misura il tutto unito al massimo della nuova tecnologia in termini di confort e risparmio energetico per il massimo rispetto dell’ambiente circostante.

Overpriced, poorly maintained, no communication

Reviewed By JPSRWW

With 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).

Incredible stay, the best views I’ve ever seen anywhere, situated basically on a cliff you can see all of rio maggiores sea. Waking up to see the mountains and beautiful sea was amazing. Amazing customer service, everyone was incredibly nice and understanding. There was also a small farm and a trail to go to a natural pool near the sea. Restaurant was amazing, unforgettable pesto.

Just lovely

Reviewed By AliandSi

What a fabulous place. We found ourselves in Imperia while travelling around Italy with friends and stopped at the first place that had a B&B sign and parking nearby. This was one of life's lucky finds. Don't let the steps put you off because it's worth the climb. The rooms are electic and individual in style and the owners have created an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. There is a small appartment available as well as individual rooms, a sun terrace on the roof, wonderful views, organic breakfast prepaed by the owner and a lovely beach close by. The owners will advise you of the best places for dinner, and the best place for ice cream.
