Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Monterosso
Cinque Terre's most distinguished hotel, Porto Roca clings to the cliff above Monterosso's old town with swimming pool, sun terraces, and sweeping sea views. The pink-and-white villa is architecturally the most elegant property in the national park, and the restaurant — serving classic Ligurian cuisine with a sea panorama — is the finest in the five villages.
Monterosso
A charming three-star hotel in Monterosso's quieter old town section, La Colonnina delivers clean, well-maintained rooms, a lemon terrace, and a genuinely welcoming family atmosphere at among the most honest prices in the Cinque Terre. The old town location means immediate access to the medieval streets and a short walk to the beach.
Monterosso
A classic Monterosso hotel in the old town quarter, run by the same family as Porto Roca at a considerably more accessible price point. The rooms are simple but maintained, the sea views from the front rooms are genuine, and the restaurant serves honest Ligurian cooking that consistently outperforms the village's tourist traps.
Riomaggiore
Riomaggiore's most celebrated small hotel, Ca dei Duxi occupies a medieval tower building at the top of the village with rooms looking down the colourful canyon of houses to the sea. The breakfast terrace and the owners' encyclopaedic knowledge of the local area make it one of the Cinque Terre's most hospitable addresses.
Vernazza
Vernazza's most famous hotel, Gianni Franzi occupies the buildings above the legendary family-run restaurant on the harbour piazza. The views from the upper rooms — looking straight down into the most photogenic harbour in the Cinque Terre — are justifiably famous. An essential Vernazza experience.
Corniglia
Corniglia's hillside position — 365 steps above the sea on the Cinque Terre's central cliff — makes it the five villages' most secluded community, and Da Silvia is the best place to stay there. Simple, immaculately kept rooms, a family welcome, and the most extraordinary views from the clifftop in the national park.
