Fodor's Expert Review Porto Roca
Via Corone 1, Monterosso al Mare, Liguria, 19016, Italy
Far from the madding crowds, one of Cinque Terre's only high-end hotels is perched on the famous terraced cliffs right over the main beach, with large balconies to savor panoramic views of the magnificent sea. A nice restaurant serving well-prepared Ligurian cuisine and a spectacular cliffside pool and solarium make up for the somewhat dowdy and old-fashioned interior. Book directly with the hotel to take advantage of the free taxi-service to and from the rail station and restaurant discounts. There's a two- or three-night minimum stay in high season.
PROS
- unobstructed sea views
- tranquil location
- shuttle bus into town (though walking there is eminently possible)
CONS
- two- or three-night minimum stay in high season
- back-facing rooms can be a bit dark
- somewhat removed from town
