Il Borgo di Campi

Amazing views from everywhere in this hotel built on a cliff very close to Riomaggiore, one of Cinque Terre gorgeous villas. Keep in mind that this hotel is buitl on a cliff, all the rooms are spared at different levels. There are lost of stairs but the views are wonderful. It has its own parking, a must and a luxury in this area. Food is very good and the terrace where the restaurant sits makes this place one to recommend and return. I have no words to thank the staff who made special accomodations for me.

Self contained unit is a challenge to get to but in amazing setting. My second stay here, service at checkin, checkout lacking. Had requested 1 bedroom apartment-a double and 2sofa beds. Was given a bedroom with ensuite bathroom-not great when other 2 people had to walk through bedroom to use bathroom. Other beds were a double with a trundle bed. I was handed the sheets to make up our own bed. We pulled the trundle bed out and mattress pad was dirty. Clerk seemed put out when we requested someone come to put a clean mattress pad on bed. Floor was dirty. Sign in kitchen stated a charge of 20 euros =$30 if kitchen left dirty. limited supplies- no dish towel. When I asked for a dish towel clerk seemed rude and offered to sell me one for 2 euros. Would suggest improving supplies-we had 2 dinner knives only, no tea kettle, plastic wine glasses. We arranged our checkout time day before we left, had arranged to have our luggage taken up the hill by trolley. power went out since there was a thunder storm. We carried our luggage up 200 stairs in the rain, someone came to help when we were almost done. restaurant serves great dinners-2 excellent servers. I would stay here again because the setting is beautiful but travel companions said they would not stay again due to rude attitude at checkin. I would suggest improvement for customer service at checkin. For a self contained unit I would expect at least 4 dinner knives, a tea kettle, real wine glasses and a dish towel.

Il Borgo Di Campi is about 3 KM away from Riomaggiorre, which means you either have to make the trek down the mountain on foot, rent a scooter or take the bus to get into town. But, the setting high over the sea, with glorious sunsets, good food, an attentive staff and comfortable (but not luxurious) rooms, is well worth it. Stay here, kick back and remember why you came to the Cinque Terre in the first place.

Beautiful and relaxing. Far from town and shuttle bus was too full to pick us up so we were standed with a train to catch. Only downside.

Good location to explore Cinque Terre. Close by to Riomaggiore village.

This hotel is located on a cliff outside Riomaggiore, Italy. The location is beautiful. The owners and employees go out of their way to help you. However, to get to the rooms/small suites, you must go down the cliff on approximately 200 steps. And what goes down, must come up. It is a workout! Also, the bus to get there or back into town does not run very frequently and is often full, so you must wait an hour or more for the next one. We did love our time here, just did not know these things when booking.

This is a very quaint hotel, in a very beautiful setting. However it is not in town which was very inconvenient. (I missed that part when I booked it and of course it was non refundable) There is a public bus that only runs a few times a day so you really have to plan when you leave and return to the hotel. That is really the biggest flaw. However if you have a car and can drive most of the way I imagine it wouldn't be so bad. There are a lot of stairs down to your room but we really didn't find it that bad. If you're planning a trip to Cinque Terre prepare yourself for lots of stairs! Also the bed was in need of a new mattress.

In brief, the place was OK for one night. It was the cheapest place we stayed in the Cinque Terre but not exactly a bargain either. There are much nicer places to stay if your budget will stretch an extra €10 per night, but if everywhere else is booked, this place is OK. If I was being generous, I'd call Il Borgo di Campi quirky, but in reality, calling it below standard is probably more accurate. Positive: it is in a beautiful setting - although not highly accessible if you don't have a car nor close to the best walking trails - and it has beautiful grounds. But, right from receiving the confirmation email I could see that it was a place with many rules and systems. For example, the bus (which only runs once every 2 hours) reaches Campi at 14.40 but check-in won't open until 15.00 (as we were told without welcome or humour by a staff member on arrival). We stayed in a duplex apartment which was kind of fun, but also totally impractical and didn't make the most of the beautiful views with just one tiny window. My husband is about average height yet could only just stand in the shower as the roof was so low. In the mezzanine bedroom, I could only stand-up straight in half the room. The place was clean enough, but had a mouldy shower curtain and smelt far too strongly of cheap air freshener. The whole place felt like a missed opportunity really. It could be an incredible place to stay, a destination in its own right - but I'm afraid right now, it really isn't!

If your looking to be in the Boonies great location but, no where near the action. Nice people, great if your trying to get away from people. I would recommend you stay in Vernazza... This hotel is to far and cost a lot of time and extra money ( Taxi's and Buses) that could be spent on a better more centralized room.

We arrived by train late at night. The hotel picked us up for free and shuttled us back to the hotel. We did have to take our luggage to the top of the hill to meet them because no cars are allowed in Riomaggiore. They checked us in at midnight and off we went. Our room was down a ton of really long trails that weren't well marked for midnight, but in the daylight the paths were easy just steep. The view was amazing, the room was perfect. It is not a swanky 5 star NY hotel. It is a cozy, clean, little room and after trains and last minute hotels over most of Italy it was GREAT. Mostly the bus stop was right outside, the towns were amazing and waking up to vineyards and the Mediterranean is hard to be bad. I would book this hotel again.
