Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- romanshornerMunich, Germany1,277 contributionsIt is one of the beautiful Cinque Terre Villages. It is pedestrians area. To reach the church you have to climb up quite high, but it is worth.Written 30 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- McDonnell1124Boston, MA5 contributionsFantastic food and wine in a beautiful setting in Monterosso. Looking forward to returning to this unique restaurant.

- Lindsay Riley Carson MatthewsWest Jefferson, NC83 contributionsAlessandra and Roberto welcomed us into their home and vineyard to share their love of this incredibly unique and rich viniculture. We learned so much about the history of Cinque Terre through Roberto’s family history and walking the land. Walking through the vines, we truly gained an appreciation for the love and dedication (time and HARD work) it takes to make every drop of wine. Then, we went to the cellar to watch a video and do a tasting. While we didn’t need to do the whole experience and could have opted for the tasting only, I HIGHLY recommend visiting the vineyard- I am sure the wine tastes differently to me now that I know the process from saplings to finished product!Written 13 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ber J23 contributionsWe went from Riomaggiore (from our stay) up the stairs to the road and up the next stairs to the church. The stairs are old and picturesque and the views are beautifull along the way. But the top of the hill is best, nice pines and the church provide for a calm place. The view from the top is amazing, you can see far both sides of the coast.
Definitelly worth the effort.
I recommend setting of early, this side of the hill is in shade during the morning. In the aftermoon, the stairs are in full sun.
You can go back to the village via another trail that is stony and wide and not so steep.Written 19 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The rooms are simple but clean, with views of the sea from high up above Monterosso al Mare. There is no aircon but up in the hills the air is fresh. I had dinner at the Santuario the night I stayed and the carb-filled menu was great fuel for hiking the next day.Written 3 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lisa LMassachusetts8 contributionsWe had a wonderful day with Fish and Chill. Weather was beautiful as was the boat. Amazing lunch and wines.

What a perfect way to see Cinque Terre.Written 25 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Fawn PPuerto Rico16 contributionsA little late to review but in planning for our summer vacation I realized I never reviewed this trip.
My friend and I took the lunch time boat tour. Brenda and another woman (apologies I can't remember her name) were great at helping us plan and answer our questions as some of our travel plans were up in the air.
We had a wonderful time - seeing the villages from the water was magical. We enjoyed the food on board which was a nice treat to hold us over until we stopped for a wonderful lunch at a little spot.
I highly recommend this tour if you are visiting the area. Book in advance (I think it is just emails) as they were pretty booked up for our dates.Written 28 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Myriam GItaly81 contributionsA beautiful moment along the coast of CinqueTerre on the brand new “gozzo PAOLONA” with Andrea and Davide: a perfect experience during these very hot days !! Together, they let you discover hidden places of this unique part of the world: you can swim in crystal clear water far away from the crowd !!!
Very recommended: comfortable boat, professional and friendly team 😊 Thanks for the unforgettable boat tour !Written 7 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

My wife and I arrived in Cinque Terre and found the crowds insane- we were really disappointed as it was essentially Disneyland. We were walking by the dock and saw Andrea in his boat, and ask about a ride. He was booked that day so we settled on the following day. He asked for a $20 Euro deposit, and I said “take $50” I’ll be back, but he declined as “it was too much”. At that point I knew I found an honest guy!
Our train was 45 minutes late and instead of charging us, he just started the trip 1 hour later. He was super accommodating, is a local, so gives you the right amount of insight but also just lets you enjoy the trip.
The big ferries were packed..... but we swam, listened to music, hit each town, and napped on the boat. I’d recommend the 3 hour tour. Perfect! Just do it !Written 21 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
