호텔 델레 로제

Stayed as part of an HF Holidays walking group. An excellent family-run 3 * hotel. All staff very friendly and cheerful. Rooms very clean and bathrooms excellent, with very large shower area and lots of hot water. Breakfast was on the top floor/roof terrace with wonderful views over the bay. Dinner was local Ligurian food - chef has been with the hotel for 20 years (apparently Ligurian food is subtle, but delicious - less garlic, etc than in the south) - soup or home-made pasta, followed by fish or meat, as well as salad and potatoes and vegetables, then desert and a huge fruit bowl. Apperitivi available before dinner on the roof terrace with interesting local foods prepared by the chef - farinata (chick pea galette) and Focaccia di Recco (cheese stuffed focaccia), etc as well as peanuts and olives. Hotel is all of 2 - 3 minutes walk from public beaches (lovely shingle underfoot, but shelves quickly), and about 5 minutes to the station, with regular trains to Cinque Terre, Genoa, Pisa and Rome! Local bakers provide different focaccia for lunches at very good prices. Could not fault!

Ottima soluzione per godersi il mare e la zona (non solo Cinque Terre). L'Hotel è pulito e offre una buona colazione a buffet. Il personale è veramente cordiale e disponibile. La posizione è invidiabile non solo perché è in pieno centro, a due passi dalla spiaggia e da tutti i servizi, ma anche perché l'Hotel mette a disposizione degli ospiti, fino a mezzanotte, la terrazza panoramica (in cui è servita la colazione), anche per mangiare prendendo da asporto, dato che la sera c'è servizio bar con vini locali e cocktail.
