Excellent location just steps from Fegina (Il Gigante) beach! The hotel is only a comfortable 5–6 minute walk from Monterosso train station – and since it’s not located uphill, that’s a big plus when carrying luggage. It’s a family-run hotel with a charming retro vibe, overall very pleasant. Rooms are on the smaller side, but honestly, you don’t come to Cinque Terre to stay indoors. Bedsheets were clean, beds comfortable, and the A/C worked well. One of the highlights is the wide outdoor terrace, perfect for enjoying a drink from the hotel bar and relaxing late into the evening. They also provide beach towels and umbrellas, which is a thoughtful bonus. Special thanks to Maria (the owner) and Ricardo, who were both very kind and helpful. I asked for a room change, and they accommodated my request immediately, no questions asked. Monterosso al Mare is my favorite of all the Cinque Terre towns, because it is more lively and has proper beaches. I originally chose 5 Terre Hotel for its proximity to the beach and train station, but I would definitely return.

Recommendations: Would be nice to have softer towels. Breakfast would be even better with more fruits and veggies.

The staff was very personable and made you feel very welcome. They have a very nice breakfast room with all types of coffee pastry, meats cereal and fruit put out every morning. The hotel is in a very nice area walking distance to anything in Monterosso. There are many dining options and the beach is the main attraction which is a very short walk.

The A/C although working in the room was hard to get to the optimal desired temp otherwise the room was adequate for our needs.

Absolutely loved our stay here! A family run hotel with lovely friendly staff, they always said hello when we walked in. The hotel is situated at the northernmost end of Monterosso, a fairly easy level walk from the train station, there are a few stairs at the entrance but a lift inside. Our room didnt have a balcony but the big windows opened out and we had a nice view of the outdoor terrace area and a glimpse of the water. Downstairs is a large lounge area and a bar. Breakfast included was a good selection. The room was spacious enough, beds comfy and plenty of storage space. No kettle or fridge in room. Bathroom small and the shower was annoyingly small, no room to bend over if you drop the soap. Location was excellent, easy access to plenty of cafes & restaurants, easy walk to train station and maybe 15min walk to old town & ferry. Would definitely stay there again.

The family that owns and runs the hotel were lovely and you can tell they take pride in their establishment. The reviews about the breakfast and the family were why I booked this hotel and they exceeded the expectations.

Only critique would be the beds in my room with my daughter were a bit floppy and not very comfortable, but otherwise we had a great time. It is SO much closer to the beach than we thought it would be.

The hotel is conveniently located with respect to the station and beaches. We had a room with nice view on the sea, but this is uncommon for the hotel location. Breakfast was good but quite ordinary. The room was smaller than we expected and sufficient for short stay.

The design of this particular double room was quite peculiar. A step in the middle of a bathroom is inconvenient, A shower is high with respect to floor and inconvenient to get out. There is a shelf in a room with a TV at the head's height one needs always to be aware of in order not to injure themselves.

This hotel had such a lovely, family-owned charm with a warm and sweet vibe throughout. You can tell the owner has poured her whole heart into maintaining the business, and it really shows in the care and attention to detail. The facilities were well maintained, the style leans more vintage, and the views were absolutely wonderful. A truly heartfelt place to stay.

N/A

- proximity to "Spiaggia del Gigante" (~5 minute walk); - general cleanliness and quietness of the hotel; - proximity to train station (~12 minute walk); - room cleaning staff.

- size of the room and bathroom (could be more spacious); - breakfasts (more accustomed to continental ones, with larger varieties of food/drinks).

This hotel has a great location at the farthest end away from the main square. So, if you want quiet at night when others are still hooting it up, you'll be very happy here. The staff were wonderful and the room was perfect!

The walls were a bit thin; you can hear someone peeing in the toilet in an adjacent room - as if they're in your bathroom! And, if you like buffet-style scrambled eggs as part of a continental breakfast (I personally do not), then you won't find those nasty wet eggs here. ;-)

Friendly staff, good location, nice breakfast. Loved the fresh fruit and pastries. The property was clean and comfortable.

Safe did not work, towel warmer was not turned on in May. Towel warmer is not only for towels, but also for drying bathing suits, etc and very good to have when rinsing hiking clothes. Some warm dishes at breakfast would be nice, more variation of cheeses.

Everything about this hotel was special. Maria was very welcoming and helpful. They were constantly cleaning the grounds and rooms. The bar was great and the breakfast spectacular! And don't forget the outside patio area with the parakeets chattering! What more can I say? We loved it!! Muchas gracias Maria!!

The only issue was the shower was small.
