Stayed here for 3 nights on the recommendation of a friend and also TA reviews. Agree with everything else said before me. The hill wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be (thank goodness for bags on wheels!) and a good warm up for some of the walking on the trails (Vernazza to Monterrosso esp). Our room... more

This place is great, great location views and service but the attention to detail makes it perfect. The included aperetifs are excellent and a very sociable way to meet other travellers and get their opinons and reccomendations. This is the best of the Cinque terre towns and everything about La Toretta was fantastic couldn't reccomend it enough... more

Well worth the walk up hill. Proprietor Gabriele was excellent. His suggestions for all of Cinque Terre was spot on. The presentation at breakfast started each day perfectly. The location was breath taking but Gabriele and his personal assistance made it a special visit. more

The view of the town of Manarola and the Liguarian Sea from the room and common areas was magical. On arrival the staff were all extremely friendly and welcoming. My "small romantic room" with en-suite and private balcony was exactly as had been described to me at my time of booking and was clean and tidy. Sunset drinks and hors... more

Before we even arrived, the owner upgraded our room to accommodate our change in travel plans. La Torretta is located at the top of Manarola and it is a fairly taxing walk from the train station to the B&B. However we were unaware that there is a free town shuttle service available that runs every half hour. Upon our arrival... more

This was our first experience staying in a hotel where we felt so pampered... and we loved it! The Spumante and chilled wash cloths upon arrival, the fluffy robes and slippers provided, the fresh flowers sprinkled on the bed, all lent to a big WOW factor. We had the "small romantic room", which was a perfect description of it. The... more

La Torretta is a perfect little boutique hotel. We had heard that the Cinque Terre hotels were outdated or over priced but La Torretta was stunning and we felt great value. The hotel itself is modern yet with a relaxed feeling, rooms were beautiful and views were perfect - Infact our room was listed as having partial views and all... more

My husband and I visited Manarola during our honeymoon and spent two nights at La Torretta. Gabrielle, the owner was absolutely fabulous. He fed us well and made sure we had plenty of wine. The rooms were updated and very chic. The common terrace areas were so relaxing and inviting. Whenever anyone asks us about our favorite part of our... more

We stayed at La Torretta for three nights near the end of September. Upon arrival, after a bit of a walk up hill on a warm day, we were greeted with a refreshing cold moist towel, a glass of wine, and some light snacks. Our room included a small terrace that overlooked the town and the sea. The room was... more
