As the other reviewers have said, views are incredible, breakfast is fantastic, and the shuttle service to town makes getting up and down even with baggage easy. The walk isn't far either. A/C worked well and beds were comfortable, though adding a third person to our room was a bit of a tight squeeze. Had a lovely stay!

Cinque Terre is amazing. However, it gets pretty crowded and that's why B&B Il Parco is THE place to stay. Up in the hills with amazing grounds, its a great break from the people and busyness of the beaches and restaurants. Rooms are extremely clean (cleaned daily usually while you're eating the amazing breakfast). Air conditioning and laundry service, too. Having Marta and her family there adds to making this property even more special. I stayed here last week with my wife and 3 sons in two rooms. Safe, and easily accommodated all of our needs. You can not go wrong staying here.
Wonderful location, with quiet, clean rooms. Check in was easy (though cash only). All the staff was friendly and accommodating. When we needed a ride to the train station early in the morning of check out, there were no issues. Breakfast was delicious and the pool, while small, was a nice respite from the crowds at the beach. There is a shuttle that runs hourly, but we mostly walked (it looks worse on a map than it actually is). The only negative was the hairdryer in the bathroom. It was too weak to dry my thick hair. I just gave up and let it air dry instead. I would definitely stay here again.
The property was gorgeous with stunning views and landscaping (citrus and olive trees, lovely grasses), the pool was small and refreshing and the proprietor Marta was lovely. They had a shuttle to the town which we took only when we had suitcases (the walk up the hill had steps that made it easy) and the breakfast was excellent. Our room was clean, not expensive and had a great outdoor terrace with views. The room wasn't huge but why spend time inside the room when the outdoors was so lovely? The bed was firm and the room quiet. It was very clear when we booked with a credit card that all payments on site were to be with cash, so that's no reason to be upset. We hiked, ate at good restaurants, took a ferry to other towns and felt like we were in heaven on earth.
Not one bad thing to say about this place. We felt extreamly comfortable and welcomed... May, and everything seemed to be in bloom..The grounds were impeccable and the view spectacular... Location could not have been better.. Breakfast everymorning was everything I could ask for and more. Capachino... coffee... pastries... rolls..... fruit.... yogart... cereal... meat and chease... 3 different juices.... omlets made to order...and then some.... The service and hospilality were masterful and friendly... Bathrooms clean and impressivly modern. WIFI was surperb (once my son in law reset the receiver)...
Believe me when I tell you... None of the pictures do justice to the actual beauty of this hotel, grounds and breakfast buffet ...
The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was the use of velvet in the room... But I'm not complaining !!!!
This place deserves the high ratings. The grounds and views are magnificent. The rooms were nice but the finishes in the bathroom were amazing. You can tell there is pride of ownership in the details of the bathroom, breakfast roomand landscaping. The breakfast was wonderful with the best cappuccinos in Europe plus omelettes cooked to order. It's so serene and peaceful listening to the birds, seeing the abundance of flowers and geckos. Lots of little sitting areas to delight in the view. The proprietor Marta and her parents were the icing on the cake. They were so friendly, genuine and accommodating. They took us to train station in the morning before their shuttle service started and they were reliable in giving the guests rides to the town, down the street. We did walk uphill several times when we didn't want to wait for the hourly shuttle but it was good exercise to walk off all the fabulous calories we were consuming. They provide lots of information on restaurants, made us reservations and the walking trails, in addition to train timetables. We were blessed to stay there for 4 wonderful nights and it is truly paradise and you do not want to leave.
