Great location but rooms need to be updated. Service was not memorable and the bedding and bathrooms smelled bad. A few steps away and you are literally on the cove and next to the water. I should have booked elsewhere and not fell for the recommendation from Rick Steve's Italy guide. The town was so picturesque that it's a shame... More

Our experience in the lovely town of Vernazza was certainly minimized by the treatment we received from the owners of this hotel. The mixup began when there was an error in our reservation and we were required to pay for a night we werent there. Although we accepted this, on our arrival the next day we were treated as rudely...

Vernazza is a gorgeous, romantic,& wow! Albergo Barbara though isn't a luxury hotel, Vernazza itself is an luxury place, but it offers a exceptional experience in its quaintness. The same can be said for Albergo Barbara. Unfortunately for some the lack of a elevator might not work for some, I had no problem with the stairs to the top floor.... More

All the accomodation in Vernazza appears to be run by locals as was Albergo Barbara. The actual location of Albergo Barbara is the only good thing about this place. To start with they simply did not read our email properly and it took them several emails to work out exactly what we wanted which was always in the email to... More

Spent 3 nights at Albergo Barbara, and had an amazing time. Spent our time hiking, swimming and exploring the near bye towns. Out of all of the cities Vernazza was my favorite by far. Great views, restaurants and quite a night. I found the hotel staff pleasant and helpful. If you’re looking for a 5 star resort this is not... More

Albergo Barbara is a lovely little 'hotel' with its doorstep literally on the piazza of Vernazza. We had a wonderful view of the harbour from our little room. Vernazza is perfectly situated in the Cinque Terre for hiking and swimming and just relaxing. We were charmed by this town and its residents who are steadfastly restoring it after its devastating...

This cold very dorm style cubby hole of a room in Vernazza, was clean, and had a nice view. That are the only things to recommend. Beds were hard, towels were thin, and the 3 am soccer games right below our window left us sleepless in Vernazza.. The owners showed us very little hospitality, making us feel as if it... More

We arrived at 1pm on correct day & as per our reservation. We were beeped in and waited for 15 mins for someone. A man arrives, walks past us, no introduction and then asks us into small office. Filled out forms and asks us for payment, we take out a card to pay and were told that cash was preferred.... More

We loved our recent trip to Vernazza and had a wonderful stay at Albergo Barbara. Yes, there are a lot of stairs, but this is clearly advertised. My husband and I didn't mind the stairs at all, but we came to the Cinque Terre for hiking and relaxation. The owner was accommodating, polite, and welcoming. The rooms were clean and... More
