Wish I'd read these reviews before hastily booking and living to regret my two nights at Cinqueterre holidays. Here's why: - Unable to sleep because of bugs in the bed and in the room (I have 23 mysterious bites that resemble spider or any bites and are huge welts on my arms, back and shoulders!) - FAR walk way up... more

we booked 3 nights with a group of 12 (6 boys & 6 girls) due to train strike we blocked first night in ventimiglia , no refund. when we arrived before 19.00 (7pm) owner roberto act very strange and told our girl that they have to sleep outside in the dark ??? he entered various times in our rooms and... more

I arrived at this hostel within the designated time requested (the owner is only available a few hours a day), however when I arrived, the owner asked me if I remembered how much the room was when I booked. I did not remember, so he insisted on quoting me a random price which was much higher than everyone else staying... more

Cinque Terre is beautiful. Absolutely amazing, no doubt about that. But if you're traveling with a couple of friends, you don't really want to spend too many of those Euros on a hotel and you're looking for a hostel in hostelworld.com or wherever and book your room online, make sure you know how and WHEN to get there! I was... more

so there's been a lot of CT holidays bashing here but although they caused me a great amount of aggravation, the apartment we ended up in was fine for the 2 nights we were there. we'd taken an odd sort of route to get to italy -- ferry from barcelona, so we arrived at Genoa a tad later than expected... more

After reading the reviews we were hesitant about booking at this hotel. But, we added Riomaggiore to our trip at the last minute(Glad we did! Amazing place to hang out amoungst the locals and take in the beautiful scenery)...so had no other options. Our train into Riomaggiore was delayed because of a lightning storm. But luckily a very nice local... more

We just returned from 4 nights in Italy - staying in a different city each night. Fortunately our night with Cinque Terre Holidays was our first night so we didn't end our holiday with the worst experience of our travel careers. When I booked the apartment, I was told it was big and very clean. While it was indeed large,... more

We arrived in Cinque Terre with no reservations and this was the only available room in Riomaggiore. While everyone is right about the owners (rude, hostile) the overal experience wasn't horrible. They do lie about the hotel being 70 steps from the main street, (it's about a 10 minute hike) but once you get to the top, the view is... more

In short - fantastic accommodation and beautiful holiday. Before booking with Cinque-Terre Holidays, I had read these and other reviews. Sussed out that there were either great experiences or the worst. Ours (2 Aussie friends, male and female) could not have been better. Small but very clean room, massive bed, big balcony and great views of Riomaggiore and of the... more
