We checked in to the Porto Roca for a 4 day weekend- what we found was a fantastic hotel with very friendly staff- everyone went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. We drove to Monterosso al mare & note that there is no parking @ the hotel (a good thing) so you need to park in... More

This is a wonderful property high on the hillside just steps from the checkpoint for entering the Cinqueterre coastline hiking trail. Our room gave us a magnificent sea view and was well worth the additional cost. The staff was helpful and attentive. The breakfast buffet was extensive and delicious. While we did not partake of the onsite hotel restaurant, the... More

A wonderful traditional hotel with a beautiful location. Very pleasant, relaxed friendly and classy atmosphere. The staff was very helpful and accommodating, the bartender was a gem, the breakfast and dinner staff professional and accommodating. We enjoyed our week stay very much. Wonderful walks in Cinque Terre every day. Impossible for us to find anything negative, but I guess it... More

We stayed at the Porto Roca for three nights while we were in Cinque Terre. We were made to feel welcome by all the staff. Dining was superb. The breakfast buffet overlooking the bay at Monterosso al Mare, had a wonderful selection of all types of fruit, juices, eggs, breads, cheese and of course, cappuccinos. For dinner, there was a...

This hotel had the most amazing view! It is perched way up a hill in such a perfect location for enjoying the stunning Cinque Terre outlook. Be sure to call in advance and they will pick you up from the train station free of charge, as the driveway up to the hotel is very steep and also narrow, its a... More

Hotel Porto Roca was an amazing way to visit Cinque Terre, and we loved our time there! Our room faced the amazing ocean view from this clifftop hotel. Definitely use the hotel shuttle instead of hauling your luggage up the HUGE hill -- but the view at the top is well worth it. The bathrooms and beds were nice -... More

A large group of travel friends and family (38 of us) had the pleasure of overnighting in Monterosso, the northern most village of Cinque Terra. This stay was part of a nearly 3-week trip through mostly Northern Italy (Positano, Rome, Tuscany, Cinque Terra, Lago Maggiore, and Milan). Our three nights at Hotel Porto Roca was one of the highlights! The... More

An absolutely beautiful place to stay away from the crowds. The Porto Roca is located on a hilltop at the southern edge of Monterossa, which is the northern most city of the Cinques. As beautiful as it is, you may want to think about another hotel if you have any issues with a walk up the hill. The narrow paved... More

If you're going to visit Cinque Terre, the rocky seacoast of Liguria, southeast of Genoa, I highly recommend you base yourself in Monterosso and book a stay at Porto Roca. The hotel is very charming with fabulous views of the sea and town. The rooms are a little "old school" in decor, but very comfortable with nice bathrooms, WIFI, a... More
