I was nervous about booking in Manarola because it is "not touristy" and we had to park away from the B and B. It was only a bit of a walk down to the hotel and worth it. After visiting Monterosso I was glad to be in quaint Manarola instead. It had a local hospitality and simplicity that we were... more

This bed and breakfast is spectacular. We had a great stay and a great breakfast in the morning. It's worth the extra few buck to get the room with the balcony that overlooks the sea. What a view. Yes, it is somewhat of a hike to get up there but what do you expect? People that complain about the walk... more

I am young and in good shape and the walk up this hill is INSANE!!! The hours to check-in and out were inconvenient. Staff was only able to help a little. My room was located right off the breakfast area, and I could hear every chit-chatting. I also had ants in my room! I didn't walk around bare foot! The... more

This wonderful and well-maintained set of rooms with gorgeous terraced hillside views (of the vineyards) was our favorite in Italy. A good climb up the only street through town, just steps above the church square, you'll be warmly welcomed by the friendly, English-speaking staff. Donatella, Andreas and the other kind staff members were very helpful and willing to make our... more

The hotel was nice. The reception and breakfast area are at one location, and our room was in another building about 10 minutes away. Our room was nice, simple, clean, and with a window with a very nice view. The breakfast area was very nicely decorated and cozy. They made something different every morning and served you at the table.... more

Stayed in Apt #1; the room itself was fine though bathroom was extremely small, even by European standards. My husband had to sit sideways on the toilet. Bedroom on main floor; large kitchen with single bed upstairs and lovely balcony. Our biggest complaint was lack of kitchen supplies. No basics at all, while the one we stayed at in Roma... more

My wife & I spent 3 nights here, and it was a perfect base from which to explore the Cinque Terre. The room and (small) bath were clean and comfortable, and Andrea & his wife were perfect hosts, although we didn't rely on them for much more then check-in/out and breakfast. more

We spent four days in the Cinque Terre in September. Da Baranin provided us with a quiet base for many great days of hiking, swimming and eating great food. The room was slightly small, but I think that would be standard for housing here given what I saw in the homes of locals. We did have some of those normal... more

My husband and I were traveling with another couple and booked 2 double rooms at the Da Baranin B&B in early Aug. 2008. We were very pleased with our rooms - they were clean, quiet, and comfortable (and had AC). The staff were very helpful and friendly. The B&B was easy to access from the Manarola parking lot - only... more
