Landed in Milan from U.S., with literally no plans to go anywhere except to the coast of Italy. While on my laptop in the airport, searching accommodations near Cinque Terre, I saw the pics of the view of the sea from the hotel. Took a chance and figured for $155/night, and good reviews, what the heck! Book this hotel! The room was basic, no fridge, just a bed, end tables, desk, armoire, and bathroom. The views from the windows and from our spacious balcony were magnificent. Peaceful setting surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, wildflowers, and a multitude of songbirds. A top down view of the closet town, Manarola. A few steps from the hotel and we were walking the mountainside vineyard trails to Corniglia. Every time we ate breakfast on the deck we marveled at the view and the serenity of the local. The breakfast (included) every morning was delicious. Fresh coffee, fresh pastries, fresh varied local fruits, cereals, yogurt, and freshly scrambled eggs delivered to our table. The staff was very friendly, accommodating, and lovely to converse with. The restaurant next door, Locanda Tiabuscion, has a relationship with the hotel and is the "got-to" place to eat superb food. We will be back in the off-season. A view to die for, basic, no frills hotel accommodations, but definitely the place to stay while in Cinque Terre if you desire a base of operations with the best view in town.
