Monterosso al Mare

This hotel was an easy walk from the train station and had exactly what we hoped for: We reserved the room on the top floor with a private terrace overlooking the sea (MAGIC). It had a fantastic breakfast spread and the most hospitable owner/manager we have ever come across. He made recommendations for dinner and daytime excursions and everything he suggested was bang on. He also insisted to carry our bags upstairs… it was so very generous. 
The room itself wasn’t huge, but it had everything we needed. The deck was where we spent most of our time when it was light out and we were in the room. Definitely would recommend this stay to anyone looking to visit Cinque Terre!!!!

Fantastic stay in Monterosso and Cinque Terre!!!

This was a return visit for us to this wonderful little hotel run by Gabriele.. the most attentive and proud hotel owner we have ever come across. We couldn’t wait to get back after loving our previous stay and it was as good as we remembered it… even better!  The location is fantastic in the old town of Monterosso with restaurants in close proximity but not too close to cause a disturbance during the night. The bed was super comfy… in fact one of the best in our 7 weeks of travel. Breakfast was so good.. that lemon cake Gabriele was a highlight!!!!! And still great cappuccinos made by Gabriele served whilst enjoying Brekky on his lovely terrace. Do yourself a favour you won’t be disappointed!!!!

A wonderful return visit to Hotel Stella Della Marina 

A wonderful hotel managed by a great host who really strives to make you feel welcomed.  Located in the heart of Old Town Monterosso, it is a short walk from train station.  Excellent breakfast taken on the rooftop overlooking the bell tower and the Ligurian Sea.  Do yourself a favor and take a swim in the crystal clear waters.  Please don't complain about the stairs-any hotel in an ancient building will require some stair climbing.  Very reasonably priced.

Perfect Boutique Hotel for Monterosso

This was not my first time to the Cinque Terre, but it was my first staying in Monterosso.  Vernazza was just too small to handle the day tripping crowds that gather starting at about noon, and Monterosso is a bit bigger with a little bit more to offer.  We settled on Hotel Stella della Marina based on the reviews, and because it was easy to get to from the train station.  What a good choice!  We arrived by train La Spezia (if you can get the train direct to Monterosso from Pisa, I'd recommend it - the CT train was packed), and the line for a taxi was pretty long.  A quick email to hotel proprietor Gabriele (the Magician), and a taxi was there for us in less than 5 minutes.  The hotel is close to the waterfront in the Old Town and on a small quiet street.  

Gabriele, was absolutely the best host we experienced on this trip, and we don't say that lightly having stayed in some lovely hotels in several locations! He met us at the door, checked us in, ran our suitcases up the three flights of stairs to our room, made great recommendations dinner reservations for us (don’t miss Da Eraldo, L'Ancora della Tortuga, and wine tasting at Enoteca Internzionale), gave us helpful tips, accurately predicted the weather every day, served a wonderful buffet breakfast (complete with perfect cappuccino), and made all of his guests feel special. He was personable, helpful and thorough, and we felt like we were leaving a friends' home when we had to go.

We had two rooms - both quite large, with comfortable queen sized beds that could be made into twins if necessary.  Large windows, a sizable modern bathroom with shower, air conditioning and a small refrigerator stocked with bottled water.  Given that sound is somewhat amplified in the narrow streets, we did get some noise early in the evening as restaurants were busy, but by 10pm everything was quiet.   The breakfast room on the top floor has a lovely view of the surrounding area and the sea, and a outside deck that you can sit on and have a glass of wine in the afternoon.  Breakfast was served buffet style with fresh fruit, yogurts, pastries, meats and cheeses, juice, and some savory bites that varied slightly from day to day.  Quite sufficient to get you started.

I would recommend Hotel Stella della Marina without reservation.  Be aware that you will have to climb stairs (like everywhere in the area), and that this is not a fancy establishment.  It is a clean, safe, comfortable, friendly hotel  in a great location, and our host made it perfect.  Next time I go to Monterosso, I'm going to my friend Gabi's house (hotel)! 

The perfect stay in Monterosso.

First, i want to say that Gabriele treats you like family and is so helpful.  He does it all including making the best cappuccino at breakfast.  This was overall a great choice and i would stay here again.  The location is PERFECT, the bed and room was comfortable, the service was excellent.  I took a chance on this based on the name (“Stella” is very special to me) and the excellent reviews.  My only other advice is to pack in small rolling suitcases and backpacks (we failed the packing test for this trip 😂). Gabriele was kind enough to order a taxi for us to get our luggage to and from the parking garage. Gabriele e la stella!!! Grazie mille 🤩

⭐️  Perfect choice!!

I had a nightmare from hell getting there from Milan  to Cinque Terre.  The Italia Rail system billing was down for hours and I waited with thousands of other customers.  After several hours it opened but did not have any tickets to Monterroso al Mare. I finally bought a 3 train change ticket through Genoa that would get me there. Long story short I took the last train going the wrong direction. Eventually I got to Spezza  at 10:15pm. I found a taxi and after 120Euros in cash got to Monterrosso at 11:40pm! That was over 6 hours after my ticket was to arrive. I had contacted Gisele, the manager/owner who said earlier that he would keep the hotel lobby past his normal closing of 7:00pm. I did nt know what to expect when I got out of the taxi.  To my utter disbelief, Gisele was waiting for me at the location taxis allowed to discharge riders!  There was a complete sigh of relief as I had no idea where to find the hotel and if it was open.
From that moment I realized I made the right choice of hotels.  Gisele was so helpful in directing me toward various hiking trails, times to go on different paths,  where to get botted water inexpensively, what restaurants he recommends (especially L'Osteria) and what to expect in each of the 5 towns. 
The free breakfast on the open rooftop terrace overlooking the water was so calming.  The free Wi-Fi allowed me to send emails that I had arrived in Italy safely and coordinate meeting family members in 5 days when I went to the Amalfi Coast. 
I cannot say enough of how much I appreciated Gisele's professionalism and his friendly compassion.  My trip may have started as a catastrophe  but ended up as a wonderful memory!

Oceanview Hotel with a Homey Feeling

Very clean, great location and not far from train station. Owner couldn't have done
anymore to make our stay comfortable. Lovely fresh breakfast served daily and you can sit on the patio and enjoy a lovely view of the Sea.  Highly recommend

Highly recommend staying at this lovely hotel 

Hotel Stella Della Marina is really great. Location is fantastic. An easy walk from the train and right in the center of town near restaurants and the beach. The owner Gabriel could not be more helpful. He responded to emails before arrival and provided much information about the area while we were there. He was also able to get us reservations at restaurants that we were unable to get on our own. Our room was large and exceptionally clean. Room tip- book directly through hotel for a better room at a better rate. Only issue ( not for us) be sure you can walk up steps I don’t believe there is an elevator. Breakfast is lovely, lots of foods to chose from in a lovely room with a beautiful view and an outside area to sit in.

Great hotel

We booked this sea view room over a year in advance and it did not disappoint. On the fifth floor we had lovely accommodations with a spectacular view from our private veranda off the bedroom window stairs. Gabrielle made sure everything was to our complete satisfaction and served our morning cappuccinos along with a nice selection of breakfast items. The building is one of the oldest in Monterossa but you would never know it considering the many updates made to the property over the years! Located right off the square downtown, it is a short walk from the train station and all the other sights of Monterossa. We were able to book a nice sunset cruise along the Cinque Terra, as well as taking the local ferry to the five towns from Santa Margherita to La Spezia. Would highly recommend this gem of a hotel with very reasonable prices and excellent staff. Can’t wait to stay there again when in Monterossa al Mare!

Excellent stay in Monterossa!

This small B&B is an excellent find in a great location in the old town of Monterossa. The room we had was clean and spacious. There was a good choice at breakfast. There are several walking trails direct from hotel but also the town is linked by train to many other locations for walking. The town is lovely with lots of good bars and restaurants. I would like to return and stay at this hotel again.
