Il Borgo di Campi

We were a little skeptical after reading some of the other reviews but have to say that we enjoyed our stay. The key is to have a clear expectation and read the full description posted as well as reviews. The staff was nice and helpful. There are quite a few steps to climb but it's do-able. The rooms are rustic but functional and have decent space. The views of the ocean and the property are amazing and make it all worth it. There is a bus (was always on time) that takes you to nearby Riomaggiore where you can hop on the train or begin your hike on the trails. It's not as convenient as staying in one of the 5 towns but I liked that when you come back in the evening it was quite and peaceful. Good value for the price compared to nearby towns also. If you are driving I highly recommend staying here as they have free parking. Parking in the towns is very difficult or impossible especially if you have a van or large vehicle.

Lots of stairs, like any place in Cinque Terre (unless staying in the middle of the small, busy town centres.). I believe if you ask you can arrange for your bags to be brought up by a lift track when checking out (you climb down stairs to access your room from reception). Views are phenomenal. Best restaurant we've been to on our trip so far. The food was impeccable. Wifi was spotty, particularly in our rooms. Friendly, helpful staff. Would definitely stay again.

The location and convenience was ideal. The views of the rooms was fantastic. Great family run business. The food was very authentic and enjoyed every meal; service was great. Would definitely recommend again. You have to pack light as you have to walk up and down quite a few stairs but definitely worth it.

Only problem the air conditioner did not work well, also our room Dalia had a horrible view from our garden.

Hotel is far from everything and very difficult to find and get to. It has an amazing view, but not enough to overcome all of the issues. We paid for room with a different credit card then what we reserved the room with. After more than two weeks they still do not have the charges canceled on the first card! Air conditioner did not work, the blow dryer blew up, no maid service if staying more than one day, you take out your own garbage or you get charged. Stay in one of the five villages instead. Too many hassles here trying to time the bus and trains to actually get to and from this hotel.

Not close to town. Accessible by bus or taxi only. 200 steps down to our room and the same up. No elevators. Staff not very accommodating. Dinner was expensive and not very good. If you r young and/or not wanting to leave the hotel much then the views may compensate for the other negatives. The bar next door was Great! Friendly!

We had a great time. Our room Shangi 'La was beautiful. It had a fantastic view of the sea, outdoor patio with a table and chairs and umbrella. There were 2 double beds in their own areas so each bed space had some privacy. Our room did have steep stairs but most of their rooms do not. We had a great time relaxing, cooking and eating on the patio.

Older hotel with a perfect location. World class views and excellent dining room. We'd be back in a flash.

You cannot see the town from this position. Only 4 rooms have a balcony. And the view from allocated garden areas is not worth talking about. Better from the small window but had to close because looking straight at neighbours balcony which they took advantage of. Privacy with views does not exist. 2.5 hours for two drinks and one course in restaurant for dinner. Meal was good just had to wait far too long. You could see the restaurant waiter was under too much stress trying to serve a full restaurant by himself. Second attendant obviously late and not really interested. You could add a few extra euros onto price and get a reasonable service if $ the issue but you get the feeling customers are an inconvenience.

The views were amazing. Great Ocean and landscape views. The only inconvenient is the office hours and the accessibility. There is public transport but there are only certain hours.
