REBECCA

This is definitely a 3 star property as it states. Location 8/10. Rooms 5/10. The town of Monterosso is older, the room was clean but old. The price was comparable to other hotels who might be slightly more modern/new. So when searching for rooms don’t be misled by price, the cost for this hotel is similar to others. It’s a family owned business which I appreciate, but means if you need to check out early, there might not be anyone at the receptionist desk. Personally, Cinque Terre is an outdoorsy, hiking, type of place, so if you’re down to “rough it” a bit, Villa Accini is adequate! No expectations lead to no disappointments. You’re paying for location, but might able to find something better for the price.

Terrible
Wow, where do I start. Get ready to drag your luggage up a steep hill with steps (not explained anywhere). Room had mildew was not really clean. Shower head broken. Warm water in shower takes 5 minutes. Pillow was hard and bouncy. Breakfast the worst ever experienced. Room was open to outside, full of flies over the food, especially fruits. Quality was a zero, coffee was ok. People need to know this is a 1 star not any better. Shame on them.

Reception was not welcoming nor engaging. It was very difficult to carry luggage up a steep and long driveway to entrance - perhaps a golf cart luggage transport service would be nice.

There aren't many hotel options in the Cinque Terre area, so this was one of the few that actually was a hotel and offered breakfast. it's close to the beach in Monterosso and we were able to walk there from the train station (up a pretty steep hill). The building is quite old and hasn't had too many updates so it was very simple. Breakfast was more of a "continental" style but it was sufficient. The staff were very friendly.

Easy to get around.
The hotel is very convenient. The breakfast is good. Parking is not so easy. You must ring bell to let you in gate… which is on a 25 degree angle. Parking brake will not hold you. Then you have to discover where to park. Friendly breakfast bunny. Breakfast starts a little too late … 8:30. I still would recommend. Just know these tidbits beforehand.

Really friendly and helpful staff! The location is in walking distance of bus and ferry. But can be a bit annoying when traveling back and forth from Portofino. Top floor might have good views of the harbor but the bottom does not. AC actually worked great, which is not common in Italy!! Bed and pillow it sounds great, but manageable.

Nice family run hotel
Hotel was clean and renovated. Location description could be improved as well as where to park and that you need a code to even get to the road that leads to the lobby. Thankfully we found a path that lead to the promenade and was able to bypass the steep electric fence. Beach access was given to some patrons and not others, so that was confusing. Told that breakfast was included at check-in but made to pay at check-out. Definitely wouldn't pay 10€ per person per day for the Breakfast with cheaper better options at the beach a short walk away. So the hotel left us disappointed at checkout. Breakfast was cold options only of mostly prepackaged foods or generic salami. Lady who ran the Breakfast was super kind.

PERFECT location! This was the right area to stay in and you’re so close to town but not in the noise. Only issue was the AC didn’t work and when we asked for help they told us how to make it work but that wasn’t a fix either. Not a huge issue as we weren’t in the room much but would’ve been nice to have.

The hotel confused the dates of our reservation, so my parents and I drove all the way into Monterosso only to find out that we had no place to stay for the next three nights. Everything was booked up in town, so we had to drive somewhere else and blow our budget on a last minute AirBnB. If you choose to stay here (which I don't recommend), I highly suggest calling to confirm your dates to avoid the terrible situation we ended up in.

Excellent stay in the Cinque Terre
Lovely villa just up from the beach at Monterosso al Mare and a fabulous place from which to explore the Cinque Terre. It's very close to the train station which is on the beach front. The beach is lovely with lots of restaurants. Breakfast at Villa Accini was very good and the staff were very helpful.

Missed Opportunity
The area is close to the boardwalk but far enough away to not be crowded. The staff is very kind. The hotel itself feels a little neglected. It could be amazing with a little attention. Walking up to the gate there is no way to get into the property except to call which is inconvenient for international travelers. Once inside the gate there is no sign for where to go. We had to call again. The shower has mold in the tiles and on the inside of the shower door. The railings on our patio were rusty and need some paint. The gardens are filled with roses and weeds. Bed was comfortable though.

This property was beautiful, low key but elegant. Our room had a view of the sea, and was clean and comfortable. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. A delightful spot. We would definitely stay at Villa Accini again!! The only thing I would recommend is that the staff be clear about how to open the security gate from the inside. We got our but it took a while :)

Great stay
Had a great stay - the rooms were very modern and spotlessly clean. The bathroom was renovated and stocked with all the basics. There was a fridge in the room and a large flatscreen TV. Staff was friendly and greeted me regularly. Loved the outdoor area. 3 minute walk to the beach. The only potential drawback would be that the property is located up on a hill and therefore the walkway to the entrance is uphill. Gives you nice views but could be hard for those with a physical disability.
