Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Well, the view is amazing. Not just of the water but of the main square of the town. You literally can go outside and be swimming in the warm Mediterranean water 40 pieces right outside your door. there's literally not a better location in this town.
I really couldn't have asked for much more.
The young man who checked us in was very personable and helpful. The location and the sea view from the room were incredible! In the sea view room, there was a complimentary bottle of prosecco, much appreciated, and which we all three enjoyed. It was also wonderful to walk downstairs and have a choice of very good outdoor restaurants, often with a great view of the sea. There is no elevator, so you must carry your bags up the stairs and walk up & down them to get in and out of the hotel.
It was a bit hard to find the lights when coming into the pitch-dark hotel at night.
Staff were informative & friendly. View unbelievable.
Historic. Lovely
We were greeted by Lorenzo who was so welcoming. He helped us book a table for dinner too. Fabulous location, excellent room. Thank you so much it made the last night of our holiday really special
Very small
Чудовий готельчик. В номері чисто, гарно, кондиціонер. Я не додивилася при бронюванні, що там є два номери зі спільною ванною і випадково забронювала такий, на наступний день в інший номер до цієї ванної заселилися росіяни і вкрали мою косметику, але адміністрація поспілкувалася з ними і все повернули. Поруч багато закладів, прямо біля виходу з будинку пляж, до залізничної станції менше 10 хв пішки
Emplacement parfait avec vue magnifique sur le port. Accès simple
Clim bruyante
The staff and location are excellent. Really friendly and helpful and informative. Perfect for the trains. Lovely village but quite a severe hike to the walking trail. Not for the faint hearted. After the hike, the flights of stairs to the accommodation was easy.
Unfortunately, we had noisy neighbours who talked loudly for many of the early hours. I would recommend earplugs.
The location is amazing right on the front!
There are never ending stairs to get to the top- wouldn’t recommend for older people/ anyone struggling with mobility as there is no lift!
Very clean good bed mattress and pillows
Location was great and air conditioning worked fabulous
Very small
Close to everything
Small room
Loved loved loved it! The best view, the nicest people, room was great and exactly what you need for your time in Vernazza! Couldn’t recommend more!
NA
Directement sur la plage
Alors le matelas était trop dur, le frigo ne refroidissez pas, c’est bien dommage avec la chaleur qu’il faisait
Location and the communication were amazing. The room was cool with air conditioner and a ceiling fan. Clean towels each day and a room clean was a big bonus
Nothing
It is in the beachfront
There is no elevator
La gentillesse du personnels et la proximité à la mer
Rien
Bagno e stanza erano molto puliti, staff simpatici e a disposizione.
L’emplacement, le vue de la chambre (numéro 8), la propreté

Fantastisk beliggenhet. Koselig og rent rom.
Litt lite rom men var ikke så mye der så gikk bra det
Incredible location, flexible and welcoming staff.
Clean room in perfect location and great communicators
La ubicación y la limpieza
La forma de acceder a la habitación, muchas escaleras y un tramo final con escaleras de caracol muy estrechas y empinadas
La ubicación. La vista desde la ventana. Habitación 9.
Hacía mucho calor y el aire no enfriaba casi nada
Location excellent, check-in all straight forward and excellent communication. Room was very clean with everything you need. Would recommend
The mattress was a bit soft for me
The room was very clean and we had everything we needed. It’s in front of the beach with a pretty view
It was not a problem for us but you need to climb a lot of stairs to get to the rooms
Az elhelyezkedése tökéletes, gyönyörű kilátás az öbölre, pár lépés a strand, hajóállomás, vasútállomás. Szuper kiindulópont a Cinqe Terre bejárására.
Nincs lift. De a kilátás feledtet.
The hotel was in the centre of the town! Perfect location. The facilities were SUPER clean and they remained clean throughout our trip because of the cleaning service! The staff was really helpful and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
Really lovely and helpful staff, perfect location, clean and well equipped rooms
I disliked nothing :)
Unbeatable location and spectacular view
Location, facilities
Emplacement idéal
Wspaniała lokalizacja, miły personel, pokój sprzątany codziennie. W łazience pełne wyposażenie. Pokój klimatyzowany, dodatkowo wiatrak więc nawet najwyżej położony pokój, na poddaszu był komfortowy.
Minusem była łazienka poza pokojem, ale nie stanowiło to jakiegoś dużego problemu. Dla osób z problemami motorycznymi brak windy może być uciążliwy.
Enige minpunt veel trap
Très bon dîner
Rien de particulier
La ubicación
Que pedimos dos single beds y no habían pero por el resto todo estuve impecable . Y la gente que atiende ahí muy amorosos.
posizione ottima staff gentile camera pulita
tutto ok
Great location and wonderful clean room. After hours check in easy.
Great location, a good choice. Most accommodation is expensive and poky on Cinque Terre but friendly staff and the excellent location made up for it all
Four flights of stairs up to our room but we knew that beforehand. Felt fitter by the end of our stay 🤣
Amazing location, incredibly kind and helpful staff who went out of their way to make sure we could reach the hotel during a train strike day. Room is the perfect base and both the room and bathroom were very clean!
Only minor complaint I have is that the bed was too hard for me - but that's down to personal taste as my friend loved it!
Amazing location and view! Very clean and has everything you need. Lorenzo was great! Very friendly and very informative
Lots of stairs but we knew this before booking!
Allt - läget, byggnaden, det söta rummet och den trevliga personalen
Gillade allt

Excellent location overlooking the water

We absolutely loved this hotel. The rooms were cleaned daily and the staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is right in the beachfront piazza. Would go back again and again 😊
The hosts were very friendly and explained us everything, gave some tips for restaurants and places around. We were very satisfied.
Just the upstairs case but it was ok.
Excellent location! The view was perfect. Lorenzo, the front desk and the other cleaning ladies were all so nice and welcoming.
It was perfect.
Everything as described, clean, friendly and helpful staff. Carried our suitcases up the many stairs.
Muy acogedor y bonito. Excelente ubicación y limpieza.
Hay que subir muchas escaleras para llegar a los cuartos.
Posizione perfetta, la nostra camera aveva vista mare spettacolare, staff molto gentile e disponibile. Ci ritorneremo molto volentieri
Posto stupendo comodo e pulitissimo
Nulla
Incredible location, clean and, extremely friendly and accommodating staff. Highly recommend
Rummet låg på takvåning med utsikt mot gulliga hamnen i Vernazza. Mycket rent och städat.
Om vi skulle behövt använda AC tror jag inte vi skulle kunnat sova med den på då den hade lite högt ljud.
very friendly staff and great location
Would prefer bathroom on suite
Location!!!!! The view!!!!!
The stairs. No lift, but we did have help with our luggage. And we did know ahead of time.
The staff were super friendly and helpful! Full of local knowledge and happy to share best spots to visit and eat at! The place was super clean and rooms were lovely
Stunning. Incredible location, spotlessly clean and very comfortable - and the view of the sea is phenomenal. Such a great stay!
Pulizia, posizione e gentilezza dell’host che ci ha anche prestato degli asciugamani da spiaggia! Camera piccolina, ma con tutto l’indispensabile.
I gradini per arrivare al quarto piano, ma solo perché arrivavamo da due giorni di trekking🤣
Wonderful location
No Coffee making facilities
Lokalizacja
Mieszkanie na poddaszu , na 4 piętrze , ok 84 schodów. Jest to oczywiście zaznaczone w ofercie ; zgodziliśmy się w pełni świadomie na to ale jakby inni nie doczytali to pisze to tu
The property was so central in vernazza and it was super cute!
nothing it was the perfect stay for a few nights
Emplacement Qualité d'accueil
HAUTEUR SOUS PLAFOND TROP BASSE. MESURANT 1M85 J'ETAIS BIEN TROP GRAND
兎に角、素晴らしいの一言😍
最終階へは狭い螺旋階段
Very rustic feel. 4 flights up with no lift. Luckily I was prepared and my luggage was a backpack. Bathroom was down the hall but private. Kind of strange at first but then it was OK.
Stairs are tight
Perfect location and very clean and cute!
L’emplacement et la gentillesse du personnel
L'Albergo è situato in un punto strategico nella bella piazzetta di Vernazza .La camera dove abbiamo alloggiato era pulita e dotata di tutto il necessario. Il ragazzo che gestisce la struttura, Lorenzo è stato veramente gentilissimo e prezioso per tutti i consigli che ci ha dato su cosa visitare ed anche cosa e dove mangiare. Abbiamo passato tre giorni veramente indimenticabili. Veramente consigliato!!!
Posizione
Troppe scale
Die gute Lage und die Sauberkeit.
Man hat weder im noch außerhalb des Zimmers eine angenehme Sitzgelegenheit.
Incredible location, good bed, cleaning service, mini fridge inside bedroom. Spatious bathroom. Really nice hosts with lots of indications and help
Nous avons apprécié l'emplacement et l'accueil
Nous avons tout apprécié
Location and staff. Vernazza is stunning. The front door of the hotel opens into the harbour area. You are 50 meters from the water. You have a wonderful restaurant beside the front door.
Nothing really. You stay there for the location and convenience. Being able to stay in Vernazza and have a late dinner, sit at the water and be minutes away from your stay is the point.
Localização ótima, com um quarto excelente com a melhor vista para a praia, os funcionários muito simpáticos, que nos ajudaram a carregar as mochilas até ao 4ºandar e tiveram imenso tempo a falar connosco, a darem-nos dicas. Experiência incrível.
Nada a apontar.
Excellent locations. The view was amazing. Very clean.
Sound insulation not great. You can hear your neighbors loud snoring.
We had the most amazing time staying here, the location is perfect, Vernazza was our favourite of the five towns. The staff were amazing and gave great recommendations for local food. And the room and bathroom were spacious and clean. This stay has been the highlight of our trip so far, and we will hopefully come back at some point. We will be recommending Albergo Barbara to all who will listen!
Posizione e cordialità dello staff. Informazioni molto dettagliate e stanza pulita e confortevole
Ovviamente come sapevamo si trova all’ultimo piano senza ascensore perché è un edificio storico
Goeie communicatie van de gastheer. heel sympathiek personeel, prachtig gelegen kamer met uitzicht op de piazza. Een veel betere locatie bestaat er niet.
De prijs voor 1 persoon is hetzelfde als de prijs voor 2 personen, en dan wordt het natuurlijk wel duur. Maar dat is natuurlijk een algemeen probleem van overnachtingen.
Emplacement parfait, literie très confortable, hygiène irréprochable, accueil chaleureux et avec de précieux conseils!
I HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS HOTEL. IT'S LOCATION IS EXTRAORDINARY BEAUTIFUL, RIGHT ON THE SQUARE IN FRONT OF THE WATER. BARS AND RESTAURANTS ALL AROUND. THE HOTEL IS ON A THIRD FLOOR, NO ELEVATOR LIKE IN EVERY OTHER PLACE. COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE PERFECT, THE CLEANLINESS, THE BED, THE SHOWER AND IMPECCABLE WHITE LINEN SHEETS AND TO TOWELS. IT DESERVES TO BE COMMENDED! GRAZZIE A TUTTI!!
NOTHING!
Posizione ottima, reception perfetta , pulitissimo.
L'acqua calda può mancare se altri ospiti la consumano in maniera eccessiva ma si tratta di aspettare solo un po per scaldare il boiler da 100 litri. Direi più una maleducazione degli ospiti piuttosto che un problema della struttura.
It was clean and had nice virw
No value for money
La cama súper cómoda lo cual se agradece después de todo un día de caminar. Tranquilo sin ruido exterior ni nadie molestando en pasillos, buena noche 👌🏻 Estaba muy limpio y acogedor !! La ubicación perfecta
Aunq los hospedajes describen perfectamente el lugar, uno no logra dimensionar los espacios jajajaja Si está en el último piso y la última escalera para acceder es en caracol, algo estrecha e inclinada, repito, ya lo había leído, pensaría que si vas con maletas de ruedas o personas con poca movilidad está no sería la opción !!!
Posizione perfetta
Fantastic location and very friendly staff! I would stay again if returning to the area. The staff were kind and very helpful providing recommendations and were always available if needed. Very comfy bed.
Walls a little thin but nothing to stress over. Still worth booking here!
