The location was PERFECT! Out of the way from the hustle and loud bustle. There is a free shuttle to and from the main street to Parco, or you can walk the 10 minutes. If you’re in cinque Terre, you’re going to do a lot of walking. Marta picked us up 2 minutes from the train station. The breakfast was a wonderful surprise as Marta cooks your eggs and pancakes to order if you wish! Great fresh fruit, cereal, yogurt, breads, meat, cheese, and sweets. Cappuccino and espresso is made to order, and she has American coffee in maker as well. Fresh juices too! The place was impeccably landscaped and exceptionally clean. I don’t think we could rate this high enough….10 is not enough! The pool and private sitting areas were beautiful with an excellent view of the sea. Marta is a whiz with WhatsApp and responds quickly. A wonderful find!!! Thank you Marta and family.

Nothing…it was perfect!

Marta was a consummate host. Sincerely, she made everything so easy. While the location is not directly in the town, she made sure we knew how to use the shuttle and when our train came in before the shuttle service started, picked us up from the train station herself. The property is lovely, beautiful gardens, beautiful views. Our room was standard sized for Europe (maybe even a little bigger!) and we had a lovely little balcony to sit on and read or have a glass of wine while looking out at the water. We even were provided beach towels to use in town which was so helpful. We would not have loved Cinque Terre as much without this place!

One quick piece to be mindful of: the property does not provide conditioner which is pretty normal in my experience across Europe but something to remember if you like to use conditioner after washing your hair.

-View was gorgeous! Lots of common areas to enjoy the view, pool available. -Breakfast spread great variety, hot fresh eggs on request -Prompt room cleaning -Excellent, helpful assistance from staff -Good shower with a hand wand.

-Room was small, tight for luggage -Bathroom was fine, but rock sink although looked cool, was not functional. Too small and the faucet extended too long. water was everywhere when in use. Very difficult and awkward to use. -Need another towel rack -Location is high up steep hill, shuttle running every hour, unless people load required more trips. - Not very convenient

We had a lovely two-night stay at B&B Il Parco. We had originally planned to stay in the old town of Monteroso, but at the last minute, my mother decided to join our family so we needed more space. Booking.com made it easy to find this wonderful bed-and-breakfast at the last minute, and after over two weeks in Italy, it ended up being my children’s favorite spot. Located on a hill above town, we definitely appreciated the free shuttle. My husband easily walked to and from town, but my mother and four-year-old could not have done it quite so well. The views, however, are astounding. The entire location is peaceful, relaxing and gorgeous. The kids loved the small swimming pool, which overlooks the hills and ocean below. Everyone loved the peaceful gardens and wonderful breakfast. (One of my sons still talks about the made-to-order pancakes.) The rooms were clean and well-appointed, with more outstanding views from the patios and balconies. Our only regret was that we did not have more time to spend here.

Just a word of caution to the very young or older travelers: it’s a bit of a hike to town, so note the exact shuttle times. Marta and her lovely family did offer to pick us up from the train station, and they drove us to town for our train out. Just use the shuttle or taxis if you can’t walk up hills. :)

The quiet location, just on the edge of Monterosso made it feel restful & tranquil, away from the bustle of the town. Although it was up a steep hill the shuttle service made it extremely easy to get into Monterosso. The pool was a welcome sight after a day walking. Marta & her team were so friendly & helpful.

The narrow bathroom made it a bit awkward but the shower made up for it. We were initially disappointed we were on the ground floor so didn’t have a view but there were chairs outside our room so we could still enjoy being outside.

Marta was an amazing host. Our room although a little bit dated was comfortable and clean. Bed and pillows so comfortable. Great water pressure in the shower. Selection at breakfast was excellent. Outdoor areas were superb with lovely sundeck area and pool. Laundry service available within 24 hours. The shuttle bus up and down from the centre to the B&B was a great touch.

WiFi signal was poor. Room was a bit dated. The sofa took up too much space and was unnecessary. Would be better without it and give more space in the room.

We had a great stay at Il Parco and will give the best recommendations. Marta who runs the place was very nice and did her best to take care of the guests The place has only eight rooms so it is very quiet and peaceful. The breakfast was lovely and was certainly to our liking. Good beds and nice rooms with fantastic views.

It is located some distance from the sea and the train station. If you arrive by train, it is advisable to use the transport that Il Parco offers. They run every hour.

If you are in search of a tranquil retreat to relax and recharge your personal batteries, look no further than this charming serene hillside B&B. Perched atop a picturesque hill, this delightful bed and breakfast offers breathtaking sea views that will leave you in awe. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality by the hostess. She made me feel right at home ensuring all my needs were met with a smile. The service was impeccable, highlighting the personal touch that makes a smaller accommodations so special and memorable. One of the standout features of this B&B is the convenient shuttle service provided to and from the village below. This thoughtful amenity made exploring the local area hassle-free and enjoyable, allowing me to indulge in the village's quaint charm and vibrant culture without worrying about transportation logistics. The rooms themselves were cozy, comfortable, and tastefully decorated, creating a seren ambiance tht perfectly complemented the stunning natural surroundings. Whether you are looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life or simply need a peaceful place to unwind, Il Parco B&B is the ideal destination.

Charming family run B&B set up high on a terraced hill with spectacular views of the sea. Beautifully landscaped, serene and unpretentious. Our room was immaculate and comfortable. A delicious traditional breakfast was offered every morning in the outdoor dining room next to the pool. Quite the ideallic setting. Marta, the owner was warm, gracious and informative, with several local recommendations. The walk down to the beach using the shortcut is about 10 minutes. 20 minutes coming up and very rigorous. We took advantage of the free shuttle. We were sad to leave and hope to return for a future visit.

Nothing

Marta is so lovely and a wonderful host! We loved our breakfast, was a gorgeous setting with a fantastic choice of cereals, fruits, pastries, cheese, ham, plus cooked breakfast if you wanted - my daughter loved the pancakes! So much attention to detail everywhere, ensuring privacy and comfort. We didn’t have time to use the pool which was a shame but was great it was there. Our private terrace was lovely. The room was refreshed every day.

Our room was quite small. Although there were hourly shuttles we did walk up and down a lot which we didn’t mind too much.
