The room I had was at the top Vernazza. Amazing views of the city from here. A bit of a hike to get to my room but the views made it very worth while. Property was clean but basic. I did not have wifi. It was the off season so I also did not get a breakfast

The room has a big balcony but it's very small. The view is stunning, that's what we cared most. When we arrived, it's raining. The steps we had to climb were a little hard with the luggage. Later I found the backside road. The steps are less steep as the way from the town center direction.

Stunning view of Vernazza in Cinque de Terre
The view from this room’s patio is stunning! You can see the sea on two sides, quaint village on one side and terraced hillside with vineyard on other! The patio was private and filled with flowers and vines. The only drawback was the size of the room. The double bed and mini-fridge about fill it up and it was hard for two people to be in bedroom at same time, but who visits Cinque de Terre and stays in their room anyway? Bathroom clean with very nice shower. An outside restaurant looking out across sea and mountains was up several sets of winding stone stairs. Beautiful! You have to climb many winding stone steps to reach the hotel, but it’s wirth every step!

A bad experience
Our room had a double bed and a small refrigerator. The bed, the fridge, and a small pegboard on the wall were the entire furnishings. There was not enough space for a chair or nightstand. We had only the bed to sit on. When I got up during the night I had to climb over my husband because the bed was pushed against the wall and there was not enough space at the foot of the bed to get on to the floor. The bathroom was small, but sufficient. Since it was raining during our stay we could not use the patio. In good weather, the patio would have been wonderful because the view is spectacular. We have been staying in different hotels in the Cinque Terre, Florence and Siena, and have no complaints. The going rate for hotels is in the 100-200 Euro range and includes breakfast. We believe that Camera de la Torre is overpriced for what they offer. We've used booking.com with great success, and have been equally successful booking privately. We are experienced travelers and have not had to complain previously.

Fantastic view, good location.
Lots of stairs to get to the room and 2 spiral staircases that made it hard to carry bags, but it was so worth it! It’s a small room, but great location and an amazing view. Andrea is great too and gave good suggestions for places to eat near the room. It’s a little pricey considering the size of the room but you’re paying for the experience of staying inside Vernazza and the terrace. It’s also good to note that there’s no new construction allowed because the Cinque Terre is a national park so with limited options, and high demand, it’s expensive to stay anywhere. But it’s definitely worth the extra money to have an intimate experience with the Cinque Terre.

Convenient and good value
Great location and very affordable. The internet didmy really work but not a major setback. Also worth mentioning is that the toilet is very close to the wall and shower so if you are 6' 2" or taller this may be annoying. Still not a big deal. Worth the stay!

Lovely memories made
My husband and I recently spent two nights at Camere La Torre in Vernazza and had a wonderful time. We were greeted by a very friendly and kind young man, Andre. He and his extended family own the building and run the restaurant a short distance up the stairs (plenty of stairs in Vernazza!) from the rooms. Andre walked us up (carrying my bag) and made sure we had everything we needed. We were awestruck by the beauty of being up so high above the Mediterranean Sea. We slept with the door open to the terrace so we could hear the surf crashing below. Bliss! The apartment was clean and organized, meeting our needs just fine. We would go back in a heartbeat....love Camere la Torre!

To feel on top of the world, you'll have to climb.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Rustico Piccolo at Camere La Torre. We're balcony/sunset/and trail people, and this particular location maximizes on a huge private balcony/terrace that has some of the greatest views over all of Vernazza and almost instantaneous access onto the trailhead to Corneglia. The room itself was quite compact but tidy. Did have a minifridge and a standing dresser in the room, along with the bed - and that took up about 90% of the available space. Clean and tidy, but dated- could use newer bedding, fixed screens on the windows and a mirror. It is a hike to the room, and as the key called it "Rustico"-- but if you go for the patio, the views and the sunset (and the hiking), it most certainly is worth it. But if you're not all about those things and willing to sweat a little to get there, then you won't enjoy it to the fullest.

Basic room at top of village
This room is very basic with no air conditioning and the tiny bathroom downstairs. However, we enjoyed the outstanding views of the sea and the village of Vernazza. We left the door open to take advantage of the cool sea breezes and to hear the waves. The outstanding view comes with a price: you must walk a good distance up hill to reach it. Not a good room for anyone not in good physical shape.

Room with a spectacular view
Okay yes the room is small but if you have ever rented an apartment in New York City this is about the size of your bedroom. I have lived in a tenement apartment on the 5th floor for over 38 years. So this was like home with a better view. Arrive by train and bring just a backpack. This is a town clinging to the side of a hill. If you don't want to deal with steps and winding staircases stay in a room down on the Main Street. The views are spectacular and worth every penny. The owners could not have been nicer and basically they leave you alone. More like an airb&b than an hotel and that was just fine with us. Also you should bring cash as no one in town took any credit cards from paying for the room to dinner and even many of the stores. Vernazza is gorgeous and this room allowed us to be reminded of its beauty over and over again. If you are up for an adventure and don't care about hotel amenities this is the place to stay.

Just like camping!
This isn't a hotel. It's a shed that has been converted into a "bedroom". The room only is two feet wider and six inches longer than the bed and fills with heat that can't escape. There is no hot water and the mosquitoes comes in through the old windows that are missing screens. And to top it off, the sheets were stained with blood.

Many, many steps up but view is most spectacular!
We had the highest room in Vernazza, so it's many, many steps up, but the view is spectacular. This suite that sleeps 4 has two rooms and a large private terrace with 4 lounge chairs and an unsurpassed view. There are no hotels in Vernazza - just rooms that families rent out, but these rooms were clean, comfortable, relatively spacious. No air conditioning, but the fans kept things cool during an unusual hot spell. Large refrigerator & sink, small but modern bathroom, ample storage space inside and clothes drying rack outside, tight kitchen table & chairs, spiral interior staircase connecting the two rooms. Host Andrea was extremely nice (met us and helped carry bags then served us lunch at restaurant). The restaurant run by the same owners was another two flights higher up on the trail to Corniglia and had an even more spectacular view, and the drinks & food (e.g., steamed mussels & pesto lasagna) were great.

A high climb but worth it for the view!
We stayed here for two nights in June 2015. We were to stay at house number 64. We got there but the host was upstairs "2 minutes" if we wanted to stop at his bar to see him. He did leave a number to call him but we decided to go to his bar anyway. 2 minutes up the stairs is very different for a fit young Italian who does it everyday and North Americans who do not. took us at least ten to fifteen minutes. Sat at the rather unfriendly bar until we asked for our host. He was very lovely. Takes cash only for the room rate, fyi. Our room was another four flights of stairs up. 260 stairs in total from the bottom. The terrace was amazing. View of the entire city and start of the hiking trail. The room was very small, cold water (understandably, it is on a mountain) only, but you aren't there for the room. Do not bring anything other than a backpack. Check your luggage at Le Spezia station. Second night we had to change rooms, it was a bit nicer, more modern but the terrace was not as private. Beautiful view, just be ready for 260 stairs! And to pay in cash! Bring your supplies with you as you do not want to climb those stairs many times!

Never again
The balcony we had was used as owners laundry for the rented rooms so that was part of your view. Room had double bed and the head of bed was against wall the foot of bed had 8" between bed and wall. Side of bed was pushed against wall the other side had less than 3' to wall and door with mini fridge using that space also. They gave us a key to an outside storage unit to put our luggage in! Ants in restroom, dirty cups, restroom was 4x8', the climb to the room was expected but tough uneven steps. No ac but a nasty small fan was in the room. If you leave the window open anyone can look in bc it was just a screen if open. Great view but not worth it.

Very small but incredible views.
Out of all of the places that we stayed at during our 2 month trip to Europe, this was hands-down our favorite place. The location was incredible. The view from the balcony is probably the best view of Vernazza in the whole town. I hesitate to rate it this way because we just want this place all to ourselves. The family that rents it out is super nice. They only take cash, but they also operate a restaurant above the room with probably the best restaurant view in all of Vernazza. The room is very very small, but it'll be worth it when you see the view.

Like all the reviews say, this place is all about the incredible view. The rooms are clean, Andrea will meet you and walk you up if you get lost. The walk up is not for the weak of heart. But if you're looking for the ultimate Vernazza adventure, take the 100 plus steps & a bottle of good wine with you. The memories will last a lifetime !!

Great view terrible room
This not really a hotel - no front desk. It is just a collection of rooms for rent. We arrived and a note on the door said call a cell phone - no answer. The note said climb up to the restaurant of the same name. A man who works there opened The door to an extremely small room. It had a double bed, a small refrigerator and almost no room for luggage. We had to crawl over each other. This room also gets very hot in the afternoon, no A/C of course. On the plus side the view is fantastic. Vernazza is very busy and expensive, so be careful what you book. The trails are best done early in the morning When it is cooler and less crowded. Do not buy train tickets online ahead of time. The online system will give you codes to print tickets which the ticket machines cannot recognize. Buy you tickets at the station! Then when the conductor comes for the ticket then you have it rather than a piece of paper that says you purchased a ticket that they may or may not honor. Also if you do get a code for the ticket you will have to stand in the long agent line to get it printed.

Worth the Hike
couple of things to know. Like you WILL have to climb stair to get to this hotel. It is located on the path between vernazza and corniglia so its a bit of a hike. The hotel owner runs a restaurant even higher above the hotel along the path, and there is a good chance you will have to hike to the restaurant to check in. (It is a beautiful hike with gorgeous views and well worth it!) The pictures dont do this place justice, it is amazing and beautiful and the patio is breathtaking!. One last thing. The bell tower and church bells start ringing at 7am. They are loud and will wake you up if you leave the windows open. It is a beautiful sound and a very quaint and wonderful place. Enjoy the experience and dont look for reasons to complain. Everything about this hotel is fantastic as long as you are looking to enjoy yourself.

Best view, lacking amenities
First, the bad: hot water didn't work (we tried 4 different times), and the host wasn't apologetic when we inquired the next morning. The exterior awning and a couple patio lights didnt work (minor issues). The room is tiny, even by European standards - you have to turn sideways to squeeze past the bed. It is a LONG hike uphill to our room, and we are very fit people. Do NOT carry your 40 pound suitcases up the gravel trail like we did! The hotel address is one of the higher buildings in town, and the bar where you meet the host to check in is much higher along the trail than that. (Rick Steves mentions this bar as a good stopping place if you want a break on the trail from Corniglia before getting to Vernazza proper!) And then the room was even higher up the trail than the bar! All that being said... The good: That long hike means your room has literally the best view in all of Cinque Terre. No exaggeration. The room has 2 windows with views, plus a large multi-part patio with a table for sunsets or breakfast, plus lounge chairs. You can enjoy the uninterrupted view of the sea, look down on all of Vernazza and the surrounding terraces, and see the lights of Monterosso in the distance at night. Absolutely incredible. The setting alone means I will have a positive memory of the place, even without the hot water. When I come back to Cinque Terre, I will stay in this room again... But I will only bring a small backpack and make sure the hot water is working first!
