Hotel Il Saraceno

We loved Hotel Il Saraceno!! This beautiful and peaceful hotel in Volastra, high above Manarola is easily accessible by shuttle bus that runs almost continuously. We loved everything—the decor, the quiet, the cleanliness, the breakfast, the patio—but our favorite was Antonella, the proprietor. She is amazing! Her warmth, efficiency and charm are endearing! Plus, she speaks perfect English!

Great Hotel! Antoinella was a perfect host. She gave us all the information we needed to get the bus down to the nearest of the 5 villages - Manorola - and to get the most out of our stay. Hotel was clean and comfortable with easy onsite parking. The bus stop was across the road and buses left regularly all day and evening. It was nice to have a place to retreat to away from the hustle and bustle of Cinque Terre. The room was clean and comfortable. Good breakfast. We had a wonderful meal in a local restaurant near the hotel in Volastra - Locunda Tiabuscion

Wonderfully convenient and owner Antonella is an amazing woman. She knows so much to help you get around and made perfect suggestions that made our time in Cinque Terre perfect.

Great stay at a cool little hotel. The lady who runs the place is a great hostess.

Loved the owner!! Helpful and funny. Made to order breakfasts and super accommodating! (She woke up early to make my breakfast when I had an early train to Rome!)

It was an inconvenient place for sightseeing, but it was a good hotel

There was a bus stop right across from property. The owner explained & showed us the bus schedule. She was very sweet & helpful.

Room was clean and well kept. Staff was friendly and quite helpful in giving directions to major tourist sites. Location was not far (6 min by car) from Manarola.

The hotel is situeted high above costal area in the quiet small village. The room was spacious - if you come for a long stay there is enough place to store several suitcases. Small balcony with a view. The hotel is clean like an ER. The lady at the reception desk warmly welcomed us and provided useful information about 5terre. The rooms are called by the names of the surrounding villages and not by numbers - very nice idea. You need to order your breakfast at the evening, but if you feel hungry - there is a "refill". Few minutes walking from the church there are two hiking roads: to Corniglia and Manarola. Take the path to Corniglia: breathtaking views to the sea and after 10 min you'll reach a boutique winery: take a glass of white wine (or bottle :-) ) and enjoy the sunset. The bus to/from Monarola operates until late evening (~ 23:30), +/- every 30 min with some changes in the schedule in the weekends. The bus stop is 50 m from the hotel
