What an incredible Bed & Breakfast. The best. We had the upstairs suite with the balcony which was well worth it - incredible view and set-up with the sofas and kitchen table all to yourself. Breakfast served by Guido on the balcony promptly at 8.30am every morning to take in the view before heading to the beach (recommend Eco Del mare if you don't mind splashing out a bit). And then the hosts. Great local people and absolutely faultless in how they ran the place. Guido helped reserve all our dinner reservations to ensure we experienced the best of what is local. He even gave us a quick tour of the town over an espresso. Before going, I also recommend inquiring with Guido about boat rental. He has a sailboat and motoryacht available for rent if you get in early enough. 10/10 - we'll be back!

The view is incredible! It was like to be in a movie! Adriana and her husband are incredible nice, kind and helpful. The room is very cosy and comfortable. The surroundings are full of walking distance activities!

nice location and hosts extra friendly

After traveling Europe for 8 weeks, we planned to visit Cinque Terre. Unable to find a hotel with a sea view near the marina, we made this B&B booking for x4 nights. Lerici proved to be a great, offering an Italian fishing village. The hosts received us well, assisting with parking and baggage, and our requests for continental breakfast. The B&B has x3 locations: the hosts occupyi the main garden level, and guests occupy the upper sea view level or the garden area adjacent to the hosts quarters. We booked the upstairs sea view. To access the sea view terrace, required climbing an external, tight, circular iron stairwell, difficult to manage, and considered somewhat dangerous.Reaching the top, the view from the sea view is truly wonderful. It turned out that this is the only selling point for the B&B. It was very quiet and peaceful at check in. The quarters behind the sea view terrace consists of a converted attic, where the triangular roof line drops from about 8’ in the center to 4’ on the sides. The storage space is in the 4” section. We hit or scraped our head numerous times on the roofline, forgetting to crouch to place our clothing, or to access one side of the bed. It was very difficult and uncomfortable. The bedding is considered fair, at best. The converted attic consists of a small double bed,, closet space, and bathroom. The space is very small and tight. There is a stairwell running from the hosts quarters to the attic, which is glassed at the top of this stairwell. We found this to be disturbing, since it allowed viewing of the bedroom attic from the hosts quarters and does not assure privacy into the bedroom.n our quarters we heard the hosts conversing and arguing. Since we could hear then talking, it is reasonable to assume they could tune in on our conversation. On the final 4th night, we were subjected to loud snoring during the entire night from the hosts quarters, demonstrating any lack of soundproofing.

My wife activated a sound machine to drown out the noise.The bathroom is very small,, barely able to move in the shower. The towel warmers didn't work. The 1st morning, we enjoyed a magnificent sunrise view of Lereci. Sitting on the terrace for the limited continental breakfast, we were bombarded with loud noise from construction next door. Impossible to relax. In the booking confirmation, the hosts requested guests keep the noise level low, but failed to mention the construction. This did not equate. We messaged the hosts stating we should have been informed on the construction, and if so, we would never had made this booking. We requested to shorten our stay to 1 or 2 nights, with a refund, given the noise level. We considered this to be a fair and reasonable since the hosts had concealed the construction in their listing.After messaging and meeting the hosts, it became clear that any refund was refused, blaming the noise on the city ordinance. The hosts offered use of the garden jacuzzi which was appreciated, but which we declined, and offered to relocate us to the unoccupied garden unit, which we declined, The primary reason for choosing the B&B was for the sea view. The hosts claimed we were rude in requesting early departure. They reminded us of the assistance provided with baggage, a restaurant reservation (cancelled by us), and a discounted quote for their charter boat for 4 hrs of Euro 1600. The hosts took some action since the noise level modified somewhat. Since my wife had the flu, I requested the hosts turn on the heating in the attic at check in, but this never happened. The hosts kindly offered medicine, which we already had. The continental breakfast does not measure up, with semi warm/cold coffee, and very limited items. We found it better to eat out and make our own coffee. At US$290 per night, it is overpriced.This is a factual and honest review of our experience at this B&B.
