We stayed at La Colonnina in September 2011 and we have just been looking back at our photos of this part of our journey through Italy, so many happy memories of this lovely spot. The walk with our bag through the tunnel was not over difficult but it was hot and we then had to locate the Hotel and when... More

Monterosso is a paradise as it is. When you go through the gate of La Colonnina's wall, you enter a lemon grove with lanterns and (real!) candles in a small courtyard with tables and chairs. My father and I went into the windowed hotel lobby, and after giving the nice receptionist (poor word) our names and passports, she asked us... More

We stayed at La Colonnina in August 2011. We caught the train from Milan Central and arrived at lunch time. Although we were earlier than expected (thanks to a quick and smooth exit from Malpensa), our room was ready. We had a lovely terrace over looking the path below. The room was clean and nicely presented. Breakfast was a reasonable... More

We stayed at La Colonnina with our two grown daughters in a room suitable for four people. We had to pay a cash (in Euros) deposit, which made my husband very nervous. It arrived with no problem and was credited to us. Like another traveler, we arrived by train, and pulled our luggage along through the tunnel entrance to the... More

This is a lovely hotel with wonderfully helpful staff who speak good English - all kudos goes to the member of the reception staff who ran the length of the town to catch us as we headed for the station to tell us we had left an iPhone charger cord in our recently vacated room! That is a mark of... More

We stayed at the La Colonnina in late September. We had a wonderful time. We checked at he train station to confirm the location of the hotel. It was easy to find off the Piazza Garibaldi. The hotel is tucked into the hillside and you walk up a few steps into a beautiful tree lined courtyard to reach the hotel... More

We stayed two nights April 13 and April 14, 2012, at the 2-bedroom apartment La Colonnina owns a couple doors down from the hotel itself. Perfect for my husband, mother and I to stay, for a little cheaper than a triple-occupancy single room at nearby hotels. Centrally located, friendly hotel staff and good internet in the hotel lobby. The apartment... More

While the hotel room was nice, and they give you a fresh glass of lemonade when you get there (awesome) there were a few things that really bothered me. First of all, the elevator only works at certain hours, so if you are leaving early, you get to drag all of your luggage down the outdoor stairs, which trust me,... More

I visited this hotel back more then a few years ago. Absolutely love the quaintness and the price. My best friend and I stumbled across this charmer and fell in love with it. We loved the location and how central it was to town. We had a nice room with a view of the hills. I will always return to... More
