Pulled in recently on a Friday night off season without reservations and in the pouring rain and were greeted by what felt like sunshine when we walked through the entrance! Antonella could not have been more friendly! And there was a fire in the fireplace and a nice bar. The room was spotless and large, The bathroom is especially nice... More

We stayed here for 4 nights recently and it was pretty good. The room and bathroom are large, comfy and spotlessly clean, but the walls are paper thin and you can hear everything that is going on in the room next to you, I suffered 3 nights of the man next door loudly snoring all night and when he wasn't...

We spent a couple of nights at Il Saraceno and were very happy with our choice. The hotel is small and quiet and has a cosy atmosphere. We were given a huge room with balcony and a spacious bathroom. Parking was free of charge in the garage of the hotel. The location is also a bonus. It is situated in... More

My wife, 11 year old son, and I stayed two nights at Il Saraceno in June. It was a hot time of year and Italy was progressing nicely through the Euro Cup. Needless to say, Cinque Terre was crowded, so this hotel was a nice little oasis. From the moment we stepped in, Antonella gave us her undivided attention. Our... More

Really nice hotel in the small town of Volastra. We stayed here after hiking there from Monterosso. The room was adequately furnished and really clean. We had a great breakfast in the morning and hit the road again. Like I said we hiked here, it was a really steep workout up from Vernazza to get to Volastra, but well worth... More

This is an interesting alternative to staying in one of the Cinque Terre towns. Volastra is charming and not touristy at all. It is quiet and the weather is cooler on the hill. Rooms are large but not luxurious. Antonella was very helpful and friendly. The only downside is that the last shuttle bus to Volastra from Manarola is at... More

Hotel is situated conveniently just outside the Cinque Terre National Park which makes it convenient if travelling with a car (The drive is very scenic and worth doing). The hotel offers a small garage which I managed to park a Form Mondeo in. Be careful if arriving on a Tuesday since the one restaurant in the small town of Volastra... More

We loved Hotel Il Saraceno for a number of reasons. First, it is in the hills of Volastra, a small picturesque village above the main towns of the Terre. We were driving and the hotel provided secure off street parking in their garage. There was a bus that stopped just up the street from the door which took us to... More

My son and I stumbled upon this hotel during a recent visit to cinque terre. What a find! Modern, minimalist, wonderfully accommodating hosts. Antonella is a sweetheart, so helpful, friendly, and willing to share her tips for the area. Her restaurant suggestion was fabulous, and we had a delicious dinner that we will not soon forget. Comfortable beds, wonderful views,... More
