We stayed in Monica's honeymoon suite for only 2 nights. It was the highlight of our trip with the most spectacular views of Vernazza and maybe even all of Cinque Terre. Due to the floods, the restaurant is not currently open but there are so many other places in Vernazza that are and did not hinder our trip at all.... More

We met Monica at her restaurant near the B and B. She arranged for her brother and husband to help us with our bags and pram to our room - which was lovely and had a little balcony with an amazing view over the Vernazza bay. She had set up a baby cot for us and was very helpful and... More

It was a great location and being two... More

Monica is an incredibly sweet woman and we had a great stay in her sea view terrace room for 2 days at the end of April. The views are absolutely spectacular, a birds eye view over vernazza and a sea view towards Monterosso. The room is located across from the entrance to Doria Castle in Vernazza. Directly up the stairs... More
