Nicoletta is so wonderful. She met us at the train station, and made us breakfast every morning. The room was super close to amazing food that she recommended. The hotel also has a beautiful terrace to relax and read. Rick Steves you did us right again!

Enjoyed our stay here in Monterosso. Nicoletta is very friendly and loves to please her guests. Her breakfast every morning was delicious. Be careful, as her omelettes are rich and filling! If a smaller room is a problem for you try and book the suite and Italian accomodations are typically smaller that what a regular American is used to. Would... More

We stayed here 3 nights and wished it was longer. Everything said about Nicoletta's desire to please you are true. Yes, she meets you at the train. Yes she does special things (she went and bought specific gluten free items for my wife's breakfast). Yes she welcomes you with a bottle of chilled spumante, snacks, and pastries. BUT she truly...

My wife and friends stayed here for two nights in early May. There are five rooms which are updated and modern but still retain the old world charm of the area. The owner/host met us at train station to help with luggage and to walk us to the hotel. After we checked in. we were greeted on patio with champagne... More

What a wonderful, beautiful place to stay. It's off the main road so it's quiet, but take a couple "steps" and you are at some really wonderful restaurants. Nicoletta is the perfect hostess. She is warm, and goes way out of her way to make sure you are well cared and pampered. There's a gorgeous rooftop patio where you have... More

While this hotel may not have the view that some of the others do, this was a lovely place to stay with a great host who couldn't do enough for us. Champagne and pastries on arrival - excellent breakfast, large comfortable room and close to everything, being almost in the middle of the village.

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon. We found the place through Rick Steve's guidebook. We like that there was a cab waiting for us when we got off the train station that took us near La Poesia. While it isn't far to walk, it was a nice touch. The rooms are also nice. Each are unique and... More

I can see everyone loves the place and they are right - it is super clean, cosy, beautifully decorated and located in one of the tiny and charmings streets of Monterosso. No doubt the owner goes out of her way to make you feel at home. I loved the extra touches she thought of such as welcoming drinks, 24h heating... More

I just left Cinque Terre. Raining day and chilly weather, so poor time for the travel. Only thing I appreciate about 5 Terre is this hotel, La poesia. First of all, the hostess Ms. nicoletta is molto molto kind and warmhearted. It's perfect thing for the etrangers. Now I miss the hotel. Also, the location and the room is great.

We loved this hotel. Nicoletta is The Best! She is extremely accomodating on anything you need. She set up a cab to pick us up at the train station. She met us down at the bottom of the village as the cars can not go into the village. We followed her to the hotel which would have been pretty impossible... More
