Really enjoyed my stay at Camere Franco. The great location directly opposite the tunnel from the train station cannot be overemphasized. It really minimized the amount of schlepping of bags which would have been necessary at other properties in town. I would definitely recommend accessing the pensione by going around to the left side of the Aristide restaurant (which occupies... More

Couldn't imagine a better location! Right outside the tunnel to the train station.... And I mean really RIGHT there. Form there it's surrounded by restaurants, cafes, corner stores and it's just a minute or two to the main strip in Manarola. More importantly, Manarola is by far the best village to stay at in Cinque Terre! All the others were... More

I returned to Franco's guest house for a second stay - this time returning with my parents who were visiting Europe for the first time and who wanted to visit the Cinque Terre region that I had raved about so much after my first visit. They were blown away with the hotel, the locality, and the view, and we all... More

We choose Manarola as it sounded picturesque, and Franco's place seemed to be not hard physically to reach and we were right! It is literally opposite the train station but not marked so we wandered around for a while before finding it. It's on top of a restaurant. That means it was noisy in the room by day but by... More

My husband, myself, my daughter and her husband stayed in Manarola the end of September 2012. We were overjoyed at the location since it was only steps away from the exit tunnel of the train station. Franco met us with little glasses of his homemade limoncino which was fabulous. We each had a room with a balcony. The rooms were... More

We stayed for 4 nights at pensione Camero Franco in Manarola and loved it. It’s a great deal (the most affordable we found) and perfect place to stay. Great location, just 15 seconds out of the tunnel and there it is, you’ll notice a door on the left from the restaurant with stairs leading up. Franco is a great host... More

After hiking all 5 towns, we congratulated ourselves for having decided to stay in Manarola and at the Ca de Capun. We stayed in the Painter Suite which includes a bedroom, a living room, a bathroom, an entrance hall and a balcony. Franco is as charming as the other reviewers describe. The room is equally charming. Everything was clean and... More

My GF and I had left our accommodation booking for CT until the last minute and while we were searching the night before we arrived we found Ca' de Capun Camere Franco. There is a website (which the name eludes me at the moment) which allows you to email every hostel/hotel/bnb in CT to see who was what availability and... More

My husband, myself and 16 year old daughter had visited Cinque Terre before,; but this time my parents also travelled with us so we were looking for accommodation that was easily accessible. Camere Franco ended up being very convenient - right in front of you as you come out of the train tunnel with no hill to climb whatsoever -... More
