Guest Reviews

• Ruedi (8/5): -
• Carroll (9/5): -
• Smith (7/5): The location of the property in Vernazza was excellent. Walking distance to the waterfront Piazza - The morning breakfast and the views. The Stairs and steps to the rooms were understated in the booking by a lot.
• sonia (8/5): -
• Kelly (10/5): - Spectacular location Getting there was painfull - nobody told us you had to park up above and take a van.
• Davis (9/5): A couple of glitches that have to be addressed but such a memorable stay. - We stayed in suite b which is the best location in all of vernazza. We really didn’t want to leave the deck in front of the room because the view was so spectacular. No hot water on day one and no air conditioning at all.
• Marie (10/5): Mysigt hotell med perfekt läge - Enkelt litet hotell på perfekt läge i byn. Underbar terrass att avnjuta frukosten på och en drink på eftermiddagen. Perfekt städat rum. Nyrenoverat badrum i toppskick. Trevlig personal. Fräsch frukost. Vi är jättenöjda! Inget
• Sara (10/5): - vista bellissima, colazione abbondante
• Poulin (10/5): - Literie impeccable, ensemble très propre salle de bain super grande douche à l italienne. Petit déjeuner très complet Les voisins ne respect pas les leurs. Bruyant
• Jane (5/5): The staff made our visit extremely stressful. - Location Had to store large suitcases in ground level storage because it was too difficult to bring them up the countless stairs. We needed to leave for a train around 7:15 am. Staff knew this but didn’t show up until about 7:50 am. They had their cranky faces on. Would not stay there again. The balcony didn’t have much of a view. We couldn’t find the top floor lounge area/bar. Wasn’t clearly marked.
• Frank (10/5): Fun place to stay with incredible views, would stay here again! - absolutely incredible views! find location in the midst of all the action, great breakfast overlooking the ocean! no clothesline so we improvised
• Julia (8/5): - La terrasse pour le petit déjeuner, avec vue extraordinaire ! - Les couloirs et chambres sont très bruyants, ont entend beaucoup les voisins. - Les nombreuses marches pour accéder à la chambre. - Pas de réduction au restaurant de l'hôtel pour les locataires
• Kobie (9/5): Beautiful, peaceful getaway - - Amazing views of the ocean and the mountain - peaceful and out of the 'hustle and bustle' of the main square - the shared terrace is great for an afternoon read in the sun - breakfast on the terrace overlooking the ocean is an amazing start to the day The winding staircase to the rooms is quite small and narrow, but not an issue if you only have a backpack and no mobility issues
• CHRISTOPHE (9/5): -
• Guest (8/5): - Très bien placé. Attention ça monte de partout :-)
• Kate (10/5): Perfect place to stay - Amazing accommodation, location and breakfast
• Philippe (6/5): Hôtel décevant! - L’emplacement pour le petit dej et la terrasse, vues sur la mer La chambre était très vétuste. La literie de mauvaise qualité. Pas de rideaux occultants: lumière de la rue juste devant notre fenêtre! Des 7h, le ménage se met en route. Pas de chance notre chambre encore devant la pièce où les dames venaient chercher leur matériel. Aucune discrétion! Très déçus
• Andersson (8/5): -
• Pavirani (9/5): -
• Sissel Brovold (8/5): - Enkel , men god frokost. God kaffe.
• Szabo (8/5): -
• Andreas (8/5): - Gute Lage mit toller Aussicht von der Terrasse und Frühstücksraum — über zahlreiche Stufen zu erklimmen. Frühstück verbesserungsfähig — Brötchen nicht ganz frisch — als Obst fürs Müsli nur Äpfel.
• james (8/5): Overall very good just a few little extras missing. I would give it an 8 out of 10 - The location was Great. The deck was cool. Lovely shower and comfortable bed. The breakfast was Great. Shame it didn’t have any tea or coffee facilities in the room. Also no complimentary water. No iron. Just a few little things that make a big difference. Overall very good.
• Arianna (9/5): Ottima posizione , colazione ottima sulla terrazza con vista bellissima - Posizione
• Dan (9/5): We had very memorable trip to this area and the accommodations enhanced the experience. - Incredible view from our room, great location for hiking Cinque Terra and close proximity to restaurants. Staff was overall good but at check-in not a lot of positive vibes. We had to climb lot of steps to get to our room. This wasn’t a problem for us but might be an issue for some.
• Bernard (6/5): - Le cadre. J'ai réservé la suite B. Cette suite est neuve. Très jolie, mais dire que cette suite est insonnorisee, c'est faux. On entend tout de la chambre d'à coté ( discussions, douche et meme le pipi des voisins). Pas très agréable pour le prix de cette suite. Concernant le petit déjeuner, très moyen, fruits frais que des pommes, à cette époque pitoyable. Personnels débordés, peu aimables et salle très bruyante. Bref, à part la vue, je ne recommande pas cet hotel.
• Paul (10/5): - Clean, modern room with an awesome balcony view. The staff was friendly. The breakfast was great. The hotel restaurant was excellent with exceptional staff: Paolo and Bake made us feel like home.
• Isabel (8/5): -
• Enrico (7/5): -
• Hellen (9/5): -
• Saturnina (8/5): -
• Laurence (7/5): Le site est magnifique plus tranquille quand arrive le soir et que tous les touristes de passage sont repartis - Le bar avec la terrasse Un accès très difficile sans aide pour monter les bagages sauf à payer 5€
• Katia (8/5): -
• Nadine (9/5): Très bel emplacement - Magnifique emplacement. Studio vue mer impeccable, propre et de bon standing Le petit déjeuner n’est pas à la hauteur. Aucun produits frais ou fait maison pas de fruits autre que des pommes (!). D’autant plus décevant que le restaurant est excellent
• Godinat (4/5): - Ce n’est pas du tout insonorisé
• Petr (8/5): -
• Anne (6/5): -
• Christian (8/5): - L emplacement dans le village et la salle du petit déjeuner sur le rocher.
• Simone (8/5): -
• Jon (8/5): -
• Wolfgang (9/5): -
• Schmid (7/5): -
• Marc (10/5): Amazing hotel with breathtaking views of the ocean - Fantastic location with amazing views. Breakfast could be way better but the views more than make up for it Breakfast could be better
• Sophie (7/5): - La vue sur la mer et le port Le confort Le calme Le portage des valises dans la suite La planche fromage/charcuterie Les escaliers Pas de peignoir Pas de portage de repas dans la suite. Le personnel nous a demandé de rapporter nos assiettes après manger La première journée, nous n'avons pas eu des serviettes de bain mais c'était comme de grands torchons
• Patrik (10/5): -
• Carlos (7/5): -
• Daniel (8/5): - Nice ocean view for breakfast Stairs are not so bad, but if you bring big luggage can be annoying
• Mark (4/5): - Comfy bed. Good Wifi Nice breakfast area Too many steps TV does not work During our stay there was too much noise during the night
• Karin M. (9/5): Super Lage in Vernazza - Die Lage der Unterkunft, insbesondere der Terrasse für das Frühstück oder einen Apero ist sensationel. Das Zimmer war praktisch und hatte alles was man braucht.
• Fabio (8/5): - Molto bene
• Maud (7/5): -
• Henrietta (8/5): -
• Olga Janeth (10/5): Nice place to stay in Conque Terre - The location is perfect. And it was so clean and well decorated. Plus The terrace… a dream!! I loved it! The price. The breakfast was good, but nothing extraordinary
• Coline (9/5): Génial ! - La chambre très confortable, le petit déjeuner sur une très belle terrasse et l'accès à une terrasse privée avec une vue incroyable 🤩 L'emplacement est parfait. Assez bruyant, on entend beaucoup les voisins.
• Timothy (10/5): Great stay with spectacular views at Gianni Franzi! - We had an amazing two night stay at Gianni Franzi. What a delight! We were in Vernazza during a long holiday weekend for Italians. May 1 is Italy’s Labor Day. Because of that, there were crushing crowds in all the Chinque Terra towns. But the hotel, and especially the terrace breakfast room and bar, was a welcome respite from it all. It offers a breathtaking view of the sea. Our room was nice and comfortable. However, 105 steps to get there! I recommend packing a smaller travel bag to visit Vernazza. Don’t bring your huge luggage. We would stay again at Gianni Franzi!
• Gregor (10/5): Den Aufstieg - und das sind etliche Stufen - auf jeden Fall wert! :-) - Obwohl es kein Frühstück gab (erst ab dem ersten Wochenende im April), ist die Frühstücksterrasse einmalig. Man könnte den gesamten Urlaub nur auf dieser Terrasse verbringen und den Ausblick genießen. Wir haben uns einfach unten im Ort etwas gekauft und dann auf der Terrasse genossen. Frühstück gab es leider noch keines, das gibt es erst ab dem ersten Wochenende im April.
• Anna (8/5): - Le terrazze. Zona colazione e terrazza condivisa valgono il soggiorno. Poca luce naturale in camera.
• Britt-Marie (8/5): - Frukostterrassen Tråkigt rum.
• Hans (8/5): Prima hotel op een mooie locatie in Varnaza - Een mooi hotel, fijne kamer en een leuk dakterras met mooi uitzicht Vanuit de kamer kijk je op een blinde muur
• AXEL (10/5): Une merveilleuse expérience - Tout dommage que le restaurant était fermé La lumière dehors la nuit
• Pierre-yves (8/5): -
• stephane (10/5): Adresse à retenir - Bel emplacement vu mer Jolie chambre sous les toits avec 2 petits balcons Petit déjeuner vu mer J’ai adoré Il ne faut juste pas avoir peur des marches d’escalier
• Valéria Franco de Paula (10/5): Uma excelente opção para dormir em Vernazza - O quarto tem uma cama muito confortável,o banheiro tem um chuveiro maravilhoso,o café da manhã estava uma delícia com uma vista maravilhosa.No geral tudo impecável! A acomodação seria perfeita se não tivesse que subir 117 degraus para chegar no quarto. Faltou um pouquinho mais de receptividade por parte da recepção…
• Lorena (10/5): -
• Stefano (5/5): -
• Cécile (10/5): Randonnée en Cinque Terre, escale reposante - La chambre, suite, était remarquable, spacieuse, lits confortables, espace salon, grande salle de bain, grande terrasse avec sièges pour profiter de la vue sur la mer. Petit déjeuner servi sur une terrasse divine Une petite machine à expresso dans la chambre aurait avantageusement remplacé la machine à café soluble. Prévoir un tapis de bain près la douche pourrait améliorer encore le confort
• astrid (9/5): Empfehlenswert! - Frühstück auf der Terrasse am Meer 😊
• Philip (8/5): -
• Stephanie (10/5): -
• Stephanie (9/5): - The room was beautiful and the terrace and breakfast room over looking the sea.
• Ray (8/5): Be prepared to carry your luggage up lots of stairs. Once settled in the room, this hotel is incredible convenient and -
• Mark (8/5): -
• Eric (8/5): -
• Maja (9/5): Es war perfekt! - Die Aussicht, Ausstattung und die Lage.
• denegri (8/5): -
• Carla (10/5): Loved it and would go back in a heartbeat. - Our room was truly spectacular: what a view!! And the room itself was immaculately clean, and very much "as advertised." Lastly, the staff were great - friendly, informative, and generally easy going. There wasn't anything we didn't like but.... for some people the fact that we had to climb 100+ steps to get to our room might have been an issue! (Maybe mention that somewhere?)
• Gerda (8/5): -
• Marielle (10/5): -
• Jeremy (5/5): Très belle emplacement, chambre propre, mais l’insonorisation des chambres est très mauvaise. - L’emplacement est parfait. La chambre était propre. Le petit déjeuner est très basique et industriel. Et surtout l’insonorisation des chambres. On entend tout ce qui se passe dans les chambres voisines.
• cristianmatei (10/5): O priveliste ca in filme! - Micul dejun este o gluma, nu poate fi considerat cu adevarat un mic dejun. Mancarea este foarte slaba calitativ si repetitiva. Insa nu pentru asta am ales sa ma cazez la Hotel Gianni Franzi, ci pentru locatie, care este absolut extraordinara, asa cum m-am asteptat. DA, intr-adevar, este foarte dificil sa urci toate acele scari abrupte care pleaca exact din piata principala. Pana sus la hotel, cu geamantanele in maini, simti ca nu mai ai suflare. DAR stiam acest lucru si este normal asta, daca vrei o priveliste de neuitat. BONUS: Hotelul are o terasa proprie de care nu stie multa lume - si NU ma refer la Gianni Franzi Deck - ci alta, una mai mica, chiar la etajul 2 al hotelului, unde efectiv ai o priveliste absolut extraordinara, cu marea la picioare, unde poti sa bei o sticla de vin, sa te bucuri de frumusetea locului. Daca as mai veni o data in Vernazza, tot aici as vrea sa ma cazez, la Gianni Franzi. Internetul este destul de slab, cu multe intreruperi. De asemenea, canalele TV sunt inutile pentru straini, pentru ca sunt doar posturi italiene, fara nimic international, nici macar un CNN sau Euronews de stiri. Micul dejun, am spus deja, este o gluma, nu poate fi considerat ceva serios. Insa avantajul este ca poti servi acest mic dejun pe o terasa superba, cu marea in față (Gianni Franzi Deck pe Google Maps). .
• Norberto (8/5): - Ottima vista dal terrazzo dove consumare la colazione, il vicolo da cui si scende, essendo una località molto caratteristica, porta direttamente sulla piazza principale, una meraviglia!
• Linda (9/5): Romantica terrazza sul mare e doccia scenografica - Posizione ottima a due passi dal porticciolo, la vista dalla terrazza è straordinaria. Ci abbiamo fatto un aperitivo la sera e la colazione la mattina. La camera al terzo piano, raggiungibile con una stretta scala a chiocciola, aveva due balconi vista mare. Arredata con molto gusto, bagno di design con doccia separata e scenografica Ci sono tanti scalini, quindi lo sconsiglio a chi non è in forma, ma direi che in questo caso sconsiglio del tutto le cinque terre. Il materasso l’ho trovato duro.
• Enrico (9/5): Esperienza molto piacevole - Camera pulita e confortevole, ottima posizione in centro a Vernzza con possibilità di godere di una bellissima vista dalla terrazza dell'hotel. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo.
• Therese (8/5): Kan verkligen rekommendera att åka till Cinque Terre. Fantastisk miljö, lätt att ta sig med tåg mellan byarna. Räkna med - Personalen och utsikten var fantastisk. Rent och fräscht. Lite spartanskt, såg inte något om alla trappor före hotellet var bokat.
• Ruth (9/5): A great hotel with a fabulous view - The view from the bar/breakfast room is the standout feature. There is also another lovely little terrace right above the sea. Basic double room for single occupancy - would be possible but tight for 2 people. Very small, steep spiral stairs, 3 flights, to reach the room. Although not advertised as sea view , the bathroom window (room 34) had a tiny scrap of seaview - a bonus ! Breakfast - they were very careful about my need for a gluten free diet. There was a small hanging rail but no where, other than a folding chair to put a case or clothing.
• Betka (8/5): - Frühstück und Lage waren fantastisch! Eine Frühstücksterasse direkt über dem Meer! Super Auswahl. Super freundlichen und hilfsbereites Personal! Achtung: sehr stellen, lange Treppenaufstiege zu den einzelben Häusern des Hotels und Innerhalb der Häuser steile, enge Treppen zu den Zimmern. Haus 41 empfiehlt sich besonders mit seinen unglaubliçhen Balkonen, mit Sicht auf einen Stapel von kleinen Terassen und Garten.
• Franz (7/5): - Die Frühstücksterasse mit Meerblick. Reichliches Frühstücksbuffet.
• Emma (9/5): -
• Jonathan (8/5): -
• STEPHANE (10/5): - Salle de petit déjeuner avec vue sur la mer
• ARISTOFANES (10/5): Perfecta estancia para un viaggio di nozze - La vista de la habitación era hermosa y muy comoda la cama y el baño Que teniamos que subir muchisimas escaleras, es lo esperado pero estuvo muy pesado jeje
• James (8/5): Beautiful view, worth the climb - Our view from the top floor balcony was amazing, facing the water/cliffs and colorful town. Bathroom was updated and modern. Aside from the many (many) stairs to reach your room, the walls are very thin. Our neighbors banged on the wall several times while my partner & I were just speaking quietly. No drinking water provided.
• Virginia Kay (10/5): -
• Anna (7/5): -
• Elizabeth (10/5): - They were very helpful in many ways. I had to make the booking at the last minute and did not realize that there were more than 100 staires up to the room, a nice young man had already been arranged to carry our bags (it was after 9:00 at night). After I saw our room, I panicked a bit, so I called the front desk and asked if we could have a lower room. The answer was--"not tonight, but tomorrow". First thing the next day 2 nice young ladies showed up to help us to our new room. This was a lot better, but still 75 stairs or so. I was still worried. We had a very early train reservation for the next day. I was really worried about my husband handling the luggage on the stairs. He has 10 screws in his leg and ankle and ofter walks with a cane. The staff told me not to worry and by the time we came back from our boat trip they had found someone to meet us at 6:30 AM and help with the luggage. It doesn't get any nicer than that!!!!
• Franco0493 (8/5): -
• Mark (7/5): - Great location in town. Breakfast was great and amazing views 99 steep stairs to the room. Great location but very noisy. Walls are very thin and heard people talking and doors slamming all night long and early in the morning
• Monteyro (9/5): - The view from our hotel room is amazing. Love the cleanliness of the room, breakfast was good and Gianni Franzi was very responsive to all my questions.
• rosa (9/5): Colazione da sogno - Posizione al centro vernazza sicuramente la più bella per soggiornare..la sera dopo che vanno via i turisti.La terrazza per la colazione meravigliosa anche il personale molto gentile Nulla le stanza sono semplici ma conservano il fascino delle vecchie dimore della zona.Bagno grande pulito con tutto il necessario
