Best Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Hotels in Cinque Terre (2026)

6 hotels · Updated July 2026

Hotel Porto Roca — Monterosso
1 $$$ Upscale
★ 9.4

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.

Ca d'Andrean — Manarola
2 $$ Mid-range
★ 9

A beautifully kept family hotel in Manarola's tranquil upper village, Ca d'Andrean is known for its terraced gardens, outstanding breakfast, and the warmth of the Moggia family who have run it for decades. The location — removed from the harbour crowds but within easy walking distance — is perfectly judged.

Monterosso

Hotel Pasquale

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.

Affittacamere Da Silvia — Corniglia
5 $ Budget-friendly
★ 8.8

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.
