The owner greeted us both times and made us feel truly welcome. Everything was fresh with amazing flavors! I won't remember the name in Italian or spell it correctly, but the sizzling beef platter was amazing, the fresh fish ravioli was superb (not fishy taste at all) as were all of the pastas. They brought a tray with four different digestifs for us to try after dinner, complimentary. It was fun experimenting - the blueberry was good as was the the grappa. The herb one was interesting shall we say, but no less fun! And I should have written in down, but the sgabe (or scabe?) puff dough bread-like appetizers served throughout the area instead of bread are like crack - salty and soooo good when fresh and hot. I have dreams about them!! It was cozy and intimate at night inside and beautiful on the covered outdoor patio overlooking the mountains for lunch.

From the Main Street, it is 35 steps up to the main door of the Building then another 25 marrow steps up to the room. Keep that in mind when you're packing your luggage. The owner buzzed us in and allowed us to check in at 12:30pm. They gave us clear instructions for the keys and WiFi. They also charge 1 euro per person tourism tax. There is a coffeemaker, fridge and hair dryer. Bring your own toiletries. WiFi is fast. Power outlets to charge gadgets can be found in headboards and bathroom. Very convenient. One thing I would suggest is for them to leave extra rolls of toilet paper inside the room. The owners don't live there and we didn't know how to call them when we were running out of toilet paper. Also I suggest they have more lights in the stairwell areas as it gets challenging at night if you don't have a phone that has a flashlight. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this room.

When looking for places to stay in Cinque Terre during our honeymoon, Rina Rooms came up as one of…read morethe few places that was both a reasonable and nice looking. Check in is in a small window from 2-5pm, and one of our connecting trains was sold out so we were a bit delayed, but the owners were kind enough to stay around a bit longer to wait for us. It's a very short walk from the train station, although in the directions they send you they'll mention that it's just around the corner from an unnamed pizzeria, but the the street you'll see first is called Via E. Vernazza and not Ettore. You'll find that when you walk up E. Vernazza until you hit a fork and then go left, and you'll be there. Google maps has it placed incorrectly on the right side of the fork. We lucked out and got the largest room, which had a bedroom, small dining area and a bathroom of course. The kicker was the balcony and access to the rooftop patio, which has a couple cabana chairs and a table. When it was too hot to walk around sightseeing in the towns, that was a great place to catch some sun and have some wine, focaccia and limoncello. It was a lot to get for the price we paid, and how little real estate there was in Vernazza. There was a lot of new furnishings in our room and the bathroom, which was nice. We were warned that the owners would come during in the afternoon to do laundry and re-stock breakfast but we were rarely there at that time and they will also do your laundry for 5 euro per wash (air dried on racks and lines on the terrace). Our bed was comfier than some we'd had on our trip in Italy. There was no air conditioning, which was unfortunate given the heatwave, but a couple fans helped make it tolerable. Wifi quality was good. Breakfast was fairly simple - pre-packaged cornetti, cereal and toasts, as well as yogurt, milk and juice in the mini-fridge in the bedroom. It was here that we were introduced to pear juice. Thick and very pear-like, it was so good! Payment is in cash only, but there are a few ATMs in town. Rina Rooms has really friendly owners, and made for a great base of operations in a wonderful little town.

The views from the property are awesome. The pictures don't do it justice. I would highly recommend you use the spa. The jacuzzi bath overlooks the countryside and is very relaxing.

Kudos to the woman chef, who brought out our food.

She provides a mini fridge, safe, kettle in your room, TV, and a little basket of toiletries. Definitely will be back to visit Carola and to stay in this lovely place! There's even a garden to sit out and read if you like, while you overlook the beautiful town of Monterosso. It's such a prime location right near the best restaurants in town!

Monterosso is very well maintained and manicured which is not always the case for the other 4 cities. We love Casa di Andrea - amazing upkeep and quite high tech for a B&B (electronic key card!). Our room was tidy and cute - it looked like it was just recently renovated. The shower had good water pressure, and the shower door could be closed fully to block out water from getting the bathroom floor all wet. Since Casa is located up the hill, I don't recommend this property for older folks or anyone with mobility issue! You will have to climb up multiple flights of stairs. But the pro is that the view is amazing! Carola runs this property and does it with such great taste! Her breakfast, although simple, is actually our favorite among all the hotels we visited on our trip. From the napkins to the cups and mugs, everything was colorful and elegantly presented! We got fresh coffee, fresh cut fruits, croissants, ham and cheese with toasts, and yogurt for breakfast. My husband typically doesn't eat breakfast and hates carbs, he made an exception for Carola because he loved what she put together. I highly recommend this property for your stay in Monterosso! You will have an amazing time!

Local ion is great, in the center of this wonderful city, and close to Osteria Francescana, if that's where you are heading (which we recommend)! Breakfast is served in your room, and it is fresh and tasty, great pastries and savory stuff. This was a highlight for sure! What was not so good, is a minor detail that should be added in the information about the b&b. Check-in time is very strict, since they only have a few rooms they are rarely in the office. Hence, when we arrived at 12 no one was there to open the door, we called them but their English wasn't that good, and our Italian is nonexistent, so we walked around with our luggage in 30 degrees heat. We are used to be able to leave luggage when the room is not ready, but that'd ones not work here. So take the check in time literally and you will be fine! Staff is very helpful, after we tried to reach them, an English speaking person called us and let us in. So it all worked out fine. This would never make me not stay here again, we truly loved it's! But we think people should know this, so it does not happen to any one else.

I really think its the owners, Alessandro and Antonio. They made us feel extremely welcome and answered any questions we may have had.

We spent four nights there recently and could not have been happier. The decor is simply delightful country French - I know - we are in Italy, but it's so lovely you can forget that detail. So many creative and elegant touches in the furniture and furnishings. It almost feels like you are at the home of a very sophisticated relative. Antonio, who lives on the same floor, but in his own apartment, could NOT have been more HELPFUL! He knows everything and everyone in Modena - especially in the restaurant game, since he and Alessandro have a lovely cafe (Mon Cafe) of their own. Need a reservation? Tell Antonio what you like and he will recommend the most amazing places -- AND call for your reservation, because not all the really authentic and great places speak English. But when you arrive at the restaurant and they know Antonio sent you, you won't need to speak English or Italian, you will simply be taken care of like the best customer in the place. One one more KEY thing - and I hope this is still available when you go -- Antonio was able to reserve a parking space right in front of the door of the B&B for our rental car (we used Modena as our base for visiting the region, Parma, Reggio Emilia, Mantua, etc.) and what a LUXURY to just cruise up the street and pull into the ONLY spot available (Antonio's) at any time of the day or night. This place is really special, thanks to the owners - I hope you get to experience it.
