Think Twice
Don’t stay here!!! This place had good reviews on this site but I should’ve looked at Google. Incredibly terrible customer service at this place that has good potential. This isn’t a real hotel. The staff communicated via WhatsApp which is fine. They sent me instructions on how to check in. However, it wasn’t very clear on how to actually get to the place itself. Once we finally arrived, we got the key from a lockbox. However; it was a generic skeleton key and incredibly difficult to use. We got in the suite and hotels.com sends their usual “how was check-in” email. I answer honestly. They must’ve notified the staff because I then got rude messages on WhatsApp threatening to evict me for leaving a negative “review”. Couldn’t believe it.

The view alone at this property from the balcony is worth the cost! My husband and I stayed in La Spezia and booked one night in Manarola at this property. We took in the breathtaking sunset from the balcony and then watched a lightning storm off in the distance under the stars. A memorable stay for sure!

The check-in process was a nightmare and the staff was incredibly rude. There is no lobby or staff that work physically on the property. We booked through Orbitz. Received a message the day prior asking for our contact information so we could receive the check-in code to get our room keys. I responded through Orbitz as there was no other email provided. I never heard back, so for several hours prior to our arrival I tried to call, no less than 5 times. We were placed on hold for > 10 minutes at a time, then the call would drop. Got to the property could not get into our room, no staff was there, tried calling again with no success. Called Orbitz, who also struggled to get in touch with anyone for > 20 minutes. Finally they were able to get in touch with someone who was so rude, yelled at the Orbitz agent and then hung up the phone. Orbitz called to offer to cancel our reservation and help us find new accommodations. While they were searching for other hotels, I finally received a phone call from the hotel. The gentleman, who would not give me his name despite my asking, was exceptionally rude to me. I explained we had been trying to reach him for quite some time. He told me "stop being hysterical, that's my problem, not his." He went on to tell me that he "doesn't care if we had to end up sleeping on the streets." We were finally able to get in after multiple more phone calls and texts, but I was so disappointed with their customer service.

Such a beautiful terrace! The room was gorgeous and comfortable. Suggestions for improvement considering the price: we were only given 1 bathrobe, the terrace should have an umbrella already setup, the room needs a kettle for making tea and ideally a mini-fridge and microwave. We loved our stay and would still highly recommend.

We stayed in the honeymoon suite. The view was absolutely breathtaking and the bed was very comfortable. Locking the door and using the A/C were very confusing. It would have been nice to receive more detailed instructions from the staff, who are not on site. They responded quickly via WhatsApp but were not very friendly or helpful. They provided a wine key that was missing a corkscrew, so when we tried to enjoy a bottle of wine at sunset, we had to walk to a nearby restaurant to ask them to open it. When I brought this to the staff’s attention, they ignored that part of my message. For the price, I expected more attention to detail and a much more welcoming and helpful staff.

The view from the balcony is absolutely amazing. Well worth the walk up the steep hill. The bed is super comfortable and the balcony is the best thing ever. On the downside, the shower is extremely small and very slippery to get out of, given that water sprays all over the entrance. The wifi is very patchy when sitting on the balcony but is good inside the room.

The terrace is very large and the best view in Manarola, and the breakfast is very nice. The room is small, it's odd to have a bathroom with a toilet open to the rest of the room (glass partition), and there were small ants everywhere. We arrived on a hot day in late April and the heat radiator was on, it took some time for confusing instructions from staff via what's app texts to turn it off and although AC is advertised it is not turned on until sometime in May. It's like an airbnb in that there is no on-site staff and it's in an apt bldg, yet it's like a hotel in that they charge for coffee, water, etc. that is in the room.

Disappointed
Based on the location of the unit it would be best to advise your guests as some will have luggage, offer bag assistance facilities even with an additional charge. Upon arrival the television did not work not one came to resolve the problem we were advised a lady would come the following day. When we saw the cleaning lady she had no clue how to fix it and no one else came to assist and no one check if the problem was resolved. The refrigerator there is an absolute waste of time as it is filled with your drinks and cannot even facility a guest bottled water. The room needs a proper size refrigerator and a microwave. I paid for two nights and only stayed one and ended up having to pay to stay elsewhere. I am very disappointed as this was our honeymoon.
