Cinque Terre - La Spezia, Italy Hotel Rooms at the Independent

The staff were very friendly, rooms were comfortable, and breakfast was good -delicious cake!

Perfect base to go to cinque terre...right beside the train station! Also great customer service and breskfast.

We stayed here last week and were more than pleased with the whole experience. First, location! it is literally 50 feet from the exit of the train station (Manarola) so there is no need to carry luggage uphill! Second, Simone is great, you get there and he will give you tips on how to see the towns plus he created an app that you can download on your phone and using while you are there. It has a lot of useful info. Our room was spotless, and well set up, everything new or recently renovated. We were in Cinque Terre for 3 days which allow for us to see all the other towns, Monterosso al Mare is the biggest town, In Vernaza you will get your perfect panoramic picture, but Manarola is by far the most charming one, with a beautiful beach that locals and turists enjoy from early in the am, small shops and great places to eat!

Very nice, clean, modern with charm hotel. Excellent breakfast and the staff was wonderful. Not on the beach, but located close to everything. Close to the train, restaurants and hiking trails. Try hiking the number 1 from Levanto to Monterosso. Fabulous!

We stayed there for three nights. It's a beautiful B&B with distant but beautiful view of the sea and Levanto. It is well situated in the mountain at 5-10 min by car of Levanto. The room was comfortable, spacious and clean. Breakfast was very good and served on a terrace with great view. The very nice Fabrizia and the owner Carlo were very friendly and helpful. Fabrizia gave us very good suggestions for restaurants in the area. The B&B provides parking card for free parking in Levanto and all info we needed. There is also free wifi. The place is very peaceful and quiet. Public parking is situated 100 m from the B&B. It's a good location to explore Cinque Terre: we parked in Levanto and took the train for Cinque Terre. We really enjoyed our stay.

My husband, sons (ages 10 and 7), and I just returned from staying at Sostio a Levante. It was such a wonderful part of our holiday. We were welcomed at the train station by Lucca and greeted by Laura upon arrival. We stayed three nights and loved it all. Each morning, a delicious breakfast was waiting for us downstairs. There was an assortment of homemade breads & jams, trays of cheese and deli meats, hard boiled eggs, and coffee made to order. In the morning, Laura would write on the board what she was making for dinner. There were always two selections - usually a meat dish and a vegetarian option. We chose to eat all of our dinners here as they were all fresh, creative, and exceptionally delicious. The four of us were happy with every aspect of our stay. Thank you Laura and Lucca for such a wonderful experience!

The Cinqueterre Residence is a family run hotel. The people who run the business obviously do it with a passion. From the moment we arrived till the time we left, we felt just like we stayed at a home away from our home. Our room was clean, quiet and very comfortable. There was always enough variety of food for breakfast, consider this being a small hotel. We stayed there for three nights. We always felt that everything was well taken care of. On the day we left, we needed to do so really early in morning in order to catch a train. To much of our surprise, the owner of the hotel gave us a tray full of food the night before! I definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who looks for a comfortable place to stay in Cinque Terre.

Very good hotel - staff polite & helpful. Large room with good view from balcony. Nice outside seating areas. Close enough to walk to station - town a little farther, steep drive may not suit everyone. Very good shuttle in to station & town if required. Excellent place to relax & recharge batteries.

Les propriétaires et le personnel de l'hôtel étaient d'une gentillesse hors du commun, on se sentait accueillit par des amis. Au-delà de nos espérances. La navette de l'hôtel pour le train ou le bateau pour Cinque Terre est un plus. Et stationnement gratuit à ne pas négliger.

Clean and quiet place with a beautuful view. Enjoyed the stay.
