my husband and I are planning 3 days in cinque terre in september. We'd like to stay in Monterosso. Any recommendations on lodging? A few options that looked good were La Surra Sul Mare, Hotel Margarita, and La Villa Degli Argentieri. Any advice? Thanks!
Do you have the RS Italy 2011 book? It's loaded with recommendations that have been vetted over time. Good luck.
Hotel Villa Steno

Hi Diana. We stayed at Albergo Margherita in Sept '09 & enjoyed it. It's refurbished and very modern and comfortable. The room was fairly small but very clean and cozy. The breakfast buffet was fantastic; there was a large variety of items. It was the largest buffet we saw during our 2.5 weeks in Italy & we loved it. We had to check out very early in the morning to catch a train (approximately 5:30 am) & the hotel was nice enough to deliver sack breakfasts to our room the night before. We thought this was a really nice touch & sure appreciated it.
Have stayed at Albergo Pasquale. Very nice.
