We had some trouble booking accommodation in the Cinque Terre due to the devastating floods in October 2011, we wanted to support the area by going anyway and La Colonnina were very quick to confirm. We got a cab from Monterosso station to the hotel but this was not required if you can pull your bags for about 400 of... More

I was recently in Italy with some friends, and we spent 3 nights in Monterosso (Cinque Terre). The hotel was very well located (about a 10 minute walk from the train station, and about a 1 minute walk from lots of lovely pubs, a bar with good music, amazing restaurants and the beach). The town was just gorgeous - the... More

We stayed at La Colonnina in May 2012 and the location of the hotel is perfect in Monterosso. It is in the old part of town, close to the beach and some amazing bars and restaurants. There was still a lot of restoration work happening in town after the floods in Oct 11, but the hotel did not seem to... More

We stayed at La Colonnina in September 2011 and we have just been looking back at our photos of this part of our journey through Italy, so many happy memories of this lovely spot. The walk with our bag through the tunnel was not over difficult but it was hot and we then had to locate the Hotel and when... More

Monterosso is a paradise as it is. When you go through the gate of La Colonnina's wall, you enter a lemon grove with lanterns and (real!) candles in a small courtyard with tables and chairs. My father and I went into the windowed hotel lobby, and after giving the nice receptionist (poor word) our names and passports, she asked us... More

We stayed at La Colonnina in August 2011. We caught the train from Milan Central and arrived at lunch time. Although we were earlier than expected (thanks to a quick and smooth exit from Malpensa), our room was ready. We had a lovely terrace over looking the path below. The room was clean and nicely presented. Breakfast was a reasonable... More

We stayed at La Colonnina with our two grown daughters in a room suitable for four people. We had to pay a cash (in Euros) deposit, which made my husband very nervous. It arrived with no problem and was credited to us. Like another traveler, we arrived by train, and pulled our luggage along through the tunnel entrance to the... More

This is a lovely hotel with wonderfully helpful staff who speak good English - all kudos goes to the member of the reception staff who ran the length of the town to catch us as we headed for the station to tell us we had left an iPhone charger cord in our recently vacated room! That is a mark of... More

We stayed at the La Colonnina in late September. We had a wonderful time. We checked at he train station to confirm the location of the hotel. It was easy to find off the Piazza Garibaldi. The hotel is tucked into the hillside and you walk up a few steps into a beautiful tree lined courtyard to reach the hotel... More
