This beautiful little gem is the place to stay while in the Cinque Terre! It was an easy walk from the train station and perfectly located! It was the easiest village to get in and out of with the train and boat schedules. The rooms were immaculate and Giodanni was very accommodating. His wife, the beautiful Stefania (only saw her...

Stayed one night at Locanda Il Maestrale at Monterosso Cinque Terra. What a great place. Really nice people running it. Room lovely and cosy as still cold here. Well situated with heaps of nice eating places nearby. All in all very well looked after.

Would highly recommend this property. It was so convenient to the water, restaurants are just a step from the front door, and the new town part of Monterosso al Mare are just a short walk away. The area the hotel is located in is very romantic at night. Our stay was quiet and included a very nice breakfast with made... More

It was the first time I stayed in a B&B and I quite enjoyed the experience! This place was as pretty and quaint as the Cinque Terre itself,so it added to the experience! The room was nice although I did not like that the window looked onto the walls opposite….i would have preferred a street view! Nevertheless this was probably... More

We stayed for two nights and would have stayed for more but they were laready booked for the additional nights. Giovanni & Stefania were great hosts. The outdoor patio above the street was wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beauty and encouraged wonderful interaction among the guests making for a very friendly experience. There is always tea, coffee, fresh... More

If you arrive by train, you can catch a cab outside the train station... the cab will drive you from the 'new' city to the 'old' city (which is literally a 5 minute cab ride) for about 7 Euros... of you can walk it (it is pretty flat) in about 12 minutes... when...

Our first visit to Monterosso and our first ever attempt in staying at a B and B....and we were not disappointed. Our room was split level with the bedroom upstairs and a living area downstairs with tv and lounge. All windows opened out onto the street and everything worked perfectly. Breakfast in the communal area or out on the terrace... More

My husband and I stayed at Locanda for four nights--our first time in the Cinque Terre--in late September 2012. We were completey satisfied and enchanted with Stefania and Giovanni's hospitality. The capuccinos prepared by Giovanni with morning breakfast are wondrous. On the terrace, there is always tea, coffee, fresh lemonade and fruit. This home away from home nurtured us as... More

Room was fine - clean and large enough for 2. Bring your own hair dryer - had some archaic nozzle thing connected to the wall. Good breakfast items. Most charming presence of this hotel was the owner Giovanni who made sure everyone was comfortable. The outdoor patio above the street was wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beauty of... More
