We were so pleased to be able to stay at Hotel Villa Steno on our trip to Italy. The Cinque Terre is a fabulous area with so much color and topography. The hotel sits up high so you can see the colorful homes and scenery. Most or all rooms have private balconies...and there is a communal patio where breakfast is... More

We were lucky to stay three nights in this fabulous hotel, it is perched above the old town and our room had a terrace, complete with lemon trees and great views over the town to the ocean, Just beautiful! Our room was very clean and spacious. Our hosts, Carla, Matteo and Anna were so very and genuinely friendly, offering helpful... More

I only had the opportunity to stay for one night, but it was my best hotel experience among all the places I visited in Italy: Rome, Florence, Monterosso and Vernazza. Extremely welcoming and helpful during my check-in. I let them know in advance that I would arrive around 11 in the morning and though they were not finished with housekeeping,... More

We found Villa Steno online initially and later saw the property in a Rick Steves program. We wanted something nicer than a B&B and Villa Steno looked beautiful. We were not disappointed, the hotel is an absolute gem. Located a little above the Centro Storico of Monterosso the hotel is convenient to everything and also peacefully quiet. Our room was... More

My husband and I spent two nights at Hotel Steno in May. We had enjoyed a lovely stay in Florence the week before but we were looking forward to seeing a new part of Italy and having a different experience. Cinque Terre exceeded all of our expectations. Hotel Steno did as well. The hotel is simple, comfortable, convenient and is... More

Stayed here in May 2013 with the family. The hotel is at the top of the town of Monterosso and our room had a great view of the town and the sea from our HUGE porch. The Family Room (what we got) consisted of 2 rooms and had 5 beds!! We just needed 2 but it may help to know... More

I found it quite hard to locate a hotel in Monterosso that had either a family room or two rooms that were interconnected - a preference as we were travelling with out two daughters aged 8 and 10. The Hotel Steno not only has this available, but more to boot. Our own room did feel a little cramped, but I... More

This was my first trip to the Cinque Terre and I was not disappointed. It was wonderful.... starting out with my choice of hotel, the Hotel Villa Steno. What a great place to stay. Matteo, Carla and Anna do whatever is needed to make sure your stay is perfect. I had a room with an ocean view. What a way... More

Eating breakfast outdoors gazing at the perfect Monterosso town/sea/hills backdrop was surreal. Couldn't have been happier with our choice of hotel, as a perfect base to explore the beautiful Cinque Terra. All of the hotel staff were friendly and helpful above and beyond, and helped to make our experience unforgettable (even received a spontaneous email prior to our arrival with... More
