Hotel la Colonnina

Loved, loved, our stay at La Colonnina Hotel in Monterosso. We stayed 3 nights mid-September, and wish we had stayed longer! So glad we opted for our 3 nights, 4 full days while enjoying all of the 5 towns in Cinque Terre at this lovely boutique hotel. A large buffet breakfast was served in their breakfast room, and it was the perfect start to the day. One can also relax on the front patio or above on their small rooftop terrace with some wonderful views. Our room had a private patio which was especially nice. This charming hotel is a short, easy walk from the waterfront. Quietly situated on a side street. Oh, especially wonderful was Antiana who was the greeter of all who enter, she manned the front desk, poured our drinks from the tiny little bar, answered our many questions, etc., etc., and was soooo delightful in chatting with our entire stay. Our stay at La Colonnina Hotel was the perfect ending to our 17 day Italy vacation. When we revisit Cinque Terre we will definitely make this hotel our home base again. Thank you La Colonnina Hotel, Antiana and staff! Tom & Michele from Boston.

Great little boutique hotel...wonderful welcome with lemonade made from their trees! Rooms are lovely and breakfast was very nice including the homemade cakes...centrally located but on a nice quiet side street...they also helped us buy our cinque terre hiking cards...recommend 100%

The staff is very friendly and welcoming. You get a welcome drink and pastry on arrival. They sell the cinque terra park card right there, which is very convenient. Breakfast is delicious with lots of food variety. Room is clean and comfortable. They have a lovely roof top terrace for sunbathing and snacking. Location is excellent in the old town and 15 minute walk from the train station. Highly recommend this hotel.

A nice little hotel, with great staff that want you to have a good time. Staff are more than willing to recommend & reserve restaurants and bring drinks from the bar to your room - some of which have a nice big terrace with sun loungers. The hotel is accredited to an eco tourism scheme, so can issue heavily discounted tickets for the Cinque Terra hiking routes and for the trains. There’s a large roof terrace, well equipped with sun loungers.

when visiting Monterosso al Mare there is so much to choose from. Our Hotel was fab. Although we only stayed for a few nites we were made to feel very much at home. Room was excellent and squeaky clean. It's only a short walk from the train station, 1215 mins but you can get a taxi outside. Plenty of good restaurant's to choose from. Ask at reception for discount train pass. Although we visited in mid October it was quite busy and would hate to be here in the high season for over crowding and heat.

A wonderful hotel that is ideally located in old Monterosso. The reception staff is soooo friendly and helpful. The breakfast might be the best in Italy! The barista is also a baker who serves up three different cakes each morning. They also serve excellent spritzers.
