We reserved a room with a sea view and a bathroom in the room, and the view was everything we could have hoped for. As everyone mentioned there are a lot of stairs but if you are expecting them it's not a big deal and the view is worth it! One of the guys at the hotel helped us carry... More

It was easy to find the hotel, since Vernazza basically just has 1 main street. When walking from the railway station, just walk down the road and look for a coffee bar with the sign 'Gianni Franzi hotel'. The lady behind the bar gave us the key to the room and showed us the stairs to go up, since the... More

Our first trip to Cinque Terre and we were delighted to be staying up the top of the building which is itself up the top of the cliff. If you don't like steps, stairs or hills, I would say this is not the place for you. Our room was small but perfectly clean and cosy. We had fresh towels daily... More

Arrived Vernazza by train on very rainy day. Hotel is located at end of town below the church right on the water in the bay, ideal location for views and pictures. Check in is on street which doubles as a coffee shop/bar. Staff not as friendly but reasonable hotel with free wi-fi and no breakfast. Felt a bit uncomfortable in... More

I cannot stress enough what the distance from ground level to the room was. Luckily we were only staying 2 nights and had just 1 small carry-on sized suitcase. Ok, the view was spectacular once we reached the top but really, how about the local teenagers being employed to carry bags? Seems like it would be money well spent by... More

This is the first time I have written a bad review for Trip Advisor, and Im very disappointed to be doing so. I was very unhappy with the service and my room at this hotel, and cut short my stay in Vernazza this week because of it. Firstly the girl in reception was quite offhand when I arrived. No friendly... More

Vernazza was a cute area. Beside getting there late because of the train strike we had a good stay. The trails between Villages was closed because of weather. Lots and lots of steps to your room, but the view is breathtaking. First time we had shared bathrooms, but not a big deal. Bathrooms were very clean. Food in the restuarant... More

We enjoyed the climb...but 115 steps to our room-phew! Clean, comfortable. Shower water temperature the 1st day was luke warm...2nd day was plenty warm so not sure what that was about. The view was fantastic. Location was right near the square and water. Quiet, too.

We wandered into the bar of Gianni, and then it ocurred to ask if they had sea view rooms. She said yes, I have one, but you have to share a bathroom. Owner took us to see the room, after 3 flights of stairs before arriving to a charming building, only to find out that the room was on the... More
