This is the charming, less crowded end of the beach in Monterosso al Mare. What a great, tiny hotel! Personalized service from an attentive and most helpful staff. Great suggestion for local restaurants. Breakfast in a room with billowing curtains & linens looking like something out of a dream! SHORT walk to the beach. On a quiet street with large... More

Nice hotel (although only 6 rooms). Rooms were well decorated (one of them is quite small) and bathrooms were nice and well-equipped. We arrived at the train station and it is a bit of a walk to get to it - no good with baggage. Two of our group walked up and then organised a taxi van to pick up... More

This hotel is next to the beach which was perfect for our family with 3 children. Monterosso al Mare overall was a great town for us with its restaurants, sandy beaches and shops. The hotel was a pleasant surprise as it looked newer and more modern inside. Breakfasts were great and staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. I highly recommend... More

We drove into Monterosso in a downpour, and when we found the hotel, we were delighted to discover that Bruno had put traffic cones out in a parking place right in front of the door to save the place for us. That was the kind of service we received at A Ca du Gigante, where the rooms were cozy and... More

Last minute half term escape, this hotel was more than I expected. Spotlessly clean and the service was first class. We had fairly small rooms but quite adequate, great shower. Breakfast was yummy, cakes made by their sister restaurant Miky. Great location, 10 minutes to restaurants and old town. Took the boat from old town to Cinq Terre villages, took... More

This hotel is a 3 minute walk from the train station, 1 min from one beach and 10 mins from another. The rooms were great and the breakfast pretty good. The wifi didn't work, but they had a computer available for use. Monterosso is a great place to stay. A word of warning - right now the main walking tracks... More

The location is convenient, just a few meters from the beach & the shops & cafe's, etc, but don't sea views as it's behind one or two other buildings. The staff were all fantastic. The rooms were clean, small, simple & efficient. The breakfast was typical, although perhaps a bigger or more varied selection would have been nice. My only... More

Having just arrived in Italy from a long flight to Australia and having problems navigating through the tiny roads on the Italian coastline from Genoa, we were grateful for the beautiful haven of this hotel that handled our every need. Beautiful breakfast, great assistance with the walking track and trains and boats and lovely character filled room with onsite parking.... More

My husband and I stayed in the apartment affiliated with the hotel and we loved it! We stayed for 3 nights (July 2-5, 2012). It was a little walk from the hotel and up quite a few stairs, but we didn't mind at all (we could eat without guilt :)! It was nice to have our own space and we... More
