I would definitely stay here again the room was very clean and comfortably. The breakfast was out standing. The owner (hostess) was very knowledgeable of the area and give us very good tips on what to see and how to get around (bus, train, hiking and ferry). We had a great time exploring the area.

This property is located in the National Park of Cinque Terre. Antonella was amazing taking care of every detail since our arrival. Breakfast is fresh and delicious every morning. You can buy the tickets to ride the train in Cinque Terre at the hotel and it’s cheaper than buying them at the train station.

We loved Hotel Il Saraceno!! This beautiful and peaceful hotel in Volastra, high above Manarola is easily accessible by shuttle bus that runs almost continuously. We loved everything—the decor, the quiet, the cleanliness, the breakfast, the patio—but our favorite was Antonella, the proprietor. She is amazing! Her warmth, efficiency and charm are endearing! Plus, she speaks perfect English!
