Cinque Terre as a holiday destination

After being picked up in a first class limousine, we arrived at the hotel, which at the first look seemed a bit anonymous, a bit boring to look at, but all that disappeared immediately when we were received by the staff. We have rarely been treated better than by the locals here.
The whole trip were got a service we have only gotten at 5-stared hotels.
We were very pleased with the food and the waiters, if you can speak a little Italian you quickly start talking, and then there are no limits to the service. we can only give our recommendation to people who haven't been in these parts of the country before. Cinque Terre, (we visited 3 towns), is its own whole chapter it's so beautiful, it's almost indescribable, you have to experience it, maybe next time we should come outside of the tourist period, since there's a lot of people there at the same time as us.
last but not least, we would like to send a lot of love to in-italia for the patience they had finding the perfect vacation for us. it will not be the last time we use in-italia as our first choice.
We are out late with the holiday review which was in July 2016
Kind regards

Cinque Terre as a holiday destination

Yes it's self-evident don't rent a car since it's difficult to get anywhere with it.
Taxi or private hire vehicle operator from the airport is worth it.
You should transport by boat it's fantastic, to see the towns from the water and quick too.
You should see Porto Fino first, since it's the least interesting town of all of them, so you can only be surprised when you get to the other towns.
The town itself is so authentic with only a handful of hotels and not very big ones the town without a lot of tourists, so you meet the locals up close, and as I wrote before if you can speak a little Italian, a lot of things happen.

Enjoy

Monte Rosa has everything was it takes to make it a great stay in Chiavari.

Perfect location, almost in the city center, and with private parking.

Extremely professional and pleasant staff, who speaks perfect English and are very helpful with information.
The rooms was great - properly around the best we tried - super!!

The breakfast is better than what you normally get served in Italy.

The dinner is not something to talk about. The price is very high and not that good and the restaurant is not for us. But there is plenty of other restaurants just outside the door which also are much cheaper. Do not choose the half-board.

What really makes a difference for us is that we did not get our expectations fulfilled. We hoped for a holiday where we got to relax but that just did not happen.

It was almost impossible to get a sunbed at the pool cause there was really not enough so we had to lay at the ground with our towels. We did not wanna get up early and fight with the other guest about sunbeds.

Almost all days we spend there we had to deal with a lot of noise coming from the italian guest who played and splashed with water at the swimmingppool. So we did not get to hang out and relax in the same way we intended.


If the pool and the area around the pool is not important for you, then Monte Rosa will be just great for a holiday in Liguria

We had a lovely stay, where it was peaceful, but at the same time lovely centrally located. We were upgraded to Deluxe rooms upon arrival, which was lovely - can definitely recommend these new pure style rooms. Most of the guests were older, and then a few families with children. If I had to pinpoint something, there could be more of the "good" sunbeds (the ones in the pictures), since they quickly got reserved with towels in the morning :)

A definite must!
You can hike between the towns, which are open for hiking, or take the train - it's quick and easy with a Cinque Terre Pass.

Very well maintained and clean hotel, with an excellent service all around.


The hotel's own restaurant servers really good Italian food at reasonable prices. The cleaning staff who made the rooms ready was flexible and friendly. I can't find one single thing to point at - everything was top!!. Breakfast is fresh and included everything desirable in copious amounts.

Recommendations for future guests

Very nice cafes, shops and restaurants in the area. There were not many tourists in October, so it was nice and peaceful.

Wonderful hotel with lovely rooms. Its our 4th time and we enjoy it everytime! Even if its located in the middel of the city, its still quite and comfortable.
