Recommended by good friends. Nicoletta and her family greet you like family and ensure your stay is VERY Italian. Easy walk from train station and in the centre of Monterosso. Exceptional breakfast on the balcony at 8:30am and a chance to meet fellow travellers. Very private and very clean! We stayed for only 2 nights and have planned to go... More

Nicoletta provides an extraordinary welcome, breakfast, and service. We had our expectations exceeded continually in our stay here, and didn't want to leave. If you're staying in Cinque Terre, (and you should!), I would recommend staying here to anyone. One note; try to set a semi-firm arrival time as Nicoletta likes to welcome her guests extravagantly and it must take... More

We stayed in La Poesia for 4 nights. A real indulgence, Nicoletta was great. Her worm welcome, with wine and pastries, was a pleasent surprise. Monterosso is the nicest place to stay in Chinque Terre. It's not the most beautiful (Vernaza wins this title easily) but it's ths most lively one. We shall definitely be back to Monterosso and stay... More

La Poesia is one of the best experiences you will ever have. My husband and I just stayed there for the fifth consecutive year; we talk about it and dream about returning all year long. Nicoletta is a truly delightful woman! She welcomes each guest and serves you a drink or refreshment upon your arrival on the picture-perfect terrace. The... More

After reading a variety of reviews on La Poesia, we decided to stay here. I emailed the day before to confirm arrival time and then our train was running late so I called the day of arrival to let Nicoletta know. She was very nice and appreciated the call. She actually tried to mee us at the train but we... More

We stayed in the suite at La Poesia for four nights. Nicoletta could not have been the more perfect hostess. The room was large, clean, and well equipped and if available, you should consider booking it. The terrace where breakfast is served (which was the best breakfasts that we had in 2.5 weeks in Italy) is lovely and available for... More

I have hesitated to write this review for several months because there were some nice things about La Poesia, including the location and the wonderful breakfasts. However, I would never stay here again and in the end want to warn others. We arrived from the US after a delayed plane and were therefore later than we had anticipated. We had... More

We stayed here for 2 nights at the start of June. The B&B is an excellent base for exploring the Cinque Terre. Monterosso is the largest of the five towns, so there is lots of places to eat and things to do. Less than 10 minutes from the train station and the beach, down a quiet side alley. Loved the... More

La Poesia was beyond our expectations. Nicoletta was a marvelous and very gracious hostess. We, particularly, enjoyed the wonderful breakfast that she provided on her beautiful terrace each morning. We were given a different variety of breakfast choices each day of our stay. While convenient to the shopping area and beach La Poesia is just far enough off of the... More
