호텔 포르토 로카

포르토 로카는 아마도 친퀘 테레에서 머물기에 가장 좋은 곳일 것입니다. 절벽 위에 위치하고 다른 마을로 가는 길 바로 위에 있으며, 몬테로소와 지중해의 전망이 완벽합니다. 우리는 하이킹하기에 날씨가 시원하고 군중이 그렇게 많지 않을 "어깨 계절"에 방문하기로 했습니다. 둘 다 사실이었습니다. 가끔 비가 오는 날이 며칠 있었지만, 맑은 날은 리오마조레에서 몬테로소까지 전체 트레일을 하이킹하기에 좋았습니다(리오에서 훈련을 시작했습니다). 하이킹은 예상보다 더 힘들지만, 우리는 68세의 나이에 해냈습니다! 이 호텔의 직원들은 훌륭하고 도움이 되었고, 레스토랑은 정말 좋았습니다. 웨이터들은 매우 친절하고 상냥했습니다. 데스크에서 줄리아노가 한 시간 동안 우리와 함께 트레일 패스와 기차표를 구매해 주었습니다. 우리는 2층 바다 전망 객실(1박에 약 500E)에 머물렀는데, 놀랍게도 옷장(옆 옷장 위에 옷을 걸 수 있는 막대)이 없고, 플라스틱 컵과 인스턴트 커피가 있는 등 기본적인 객실이었습니다. 최악은 마지막 밤에 바람이 많이 불었을 때였습니다. 우리는 3층 발코니 아래에 있었고, 파티오 가구와 다른 물건들이 우리 위로 날아다니며 밤새도록 소음을 냈습니다. 아니면 다른 일이 일어났을 수도 있고, 우리는 물어보기가 두려웠습니다! 다행히 밤새 깨어 있었기 때문에 오전 6시 30분에 출발하여 피렌체로 돌아가는 기차를 탈 수 있었습니다. 전반적으로 이 호텔은 객실 선택에 대해 구체적으로 알고 있고, 친퀘 테레를 방문할 때 원하는 것이 무엇인지 알고 있다면 훌륭합니다.

The location while difficult to get to unless using a taxi, is situated far enough from the hustle and bustle of the town but close enough to walk to. The views are excellent. So was the service. We dined at the restaurant once and thoroughly enjoyed it, we asked for the Sommelier to recommend a wine and his choice was right on. The only issue is when going to the bathroom at night there is a motion light that can irritate your sleeping partner. I would stay here again.

Beautiful views from this hotel. The rooms are on the small side, but you will have a large balcony to enjoy the gorgeous scenery. Very friendly staff and excellent restaurant. It is a bit of a hike to the hotel, but they do offer a free shuttle if you do not feel capable of making the climb.

There's no denying Porto Roca is a pleasant hotel in a great location, set peacefully just above the centre of Monterosso. However, the hotel needs to do a lot more to justify the prices it charges. We stayed in a top junior suite; it was clean and spacious but bland. The tea and coffee facilities consisted of (I kid you not): 3 Earl Grey tea bags, 2 sachets of Nescafe, a couple of plastic thimbles of pretend milk and 2 cardboard cups. I passed a couple of maids outside our room and asked one of them, politely and in Italian, if they had any regular black tea bags. She just shrugged "non" and went straight back to talking to her friend. They do have them in the kitchen, she obviously just couldn't be bothered. Elsewhere in the room were plastic cups covered in more plastic. I had to beg reception twice for real cups and glasses. We were paying 800 euros a night!! The terrace from the room was lovely: great views over Monterosso and the sea, but the loungers were horrible - really uncomfortable with no cushions. Breakfast was pretty good and staff, on the whole, friendly and helpful. I expect to pay a premium for somewhere like Monterosso, and to have a terrace with a sea view, but 800 euros was way too much for what we ere given. If you do stay, lower your expectations and take your own tea bags!

On a 25 day trip in Italy… 8 stops north to south. This was my wife’s favorite hotel. It is gorgeous & the view is 2nd to none. It’s very proximate to the little town. It has a nice pool & bar & restaurant. Only downside is that we checked in on our anniversary and they knew it, but did not provide any little gift or upgrades like the 7 other hotels did on our journey… that being said… We strongly recommend this hotel!

Best place to stay in Cinque Terre! Yes, it is expensive and although price does not match the room quality, its amazing views from room, pool and restaurant are worth the money . Breakfast buffet was the best in our 28 days tour of Italy, only surpassed by our Azamara 10 days cruise buffet. Restaurant has excellent food and wines. There are many names that I do not recall, but service in all departments was great!! During our 5 nights stay, any time we went to town, we requested the shuttle to come back to the hotel, always fast and happy. If you can afford it, go for it. You are in town but also out of town: in heaven. Thank you very much!!!
