Hotel Il Saraceno

What guests think

Travellers describe Hotel Il Saraceno as a welcoming, family-run base above Manarola, highlighted by exceptional, hands-on service from Antonella, clean and comfortable rooms, a well-liked made-to-order breakfast, and convenient access to buses for exploring Cinque Terre.

Set high above Manarola in Volastra, it feels peaceful and less crowded, but several guests found the distance from the villages and reliance on scheduled buses less convenient. Onsite parking is frequently mentioned as useful for visitors with a car. Expect a warm, well-organised stay in a tranquil village setting.

Atendimento incrível da Antonella, localização excelente pra quem está de carro visitando as Cinque Terre. Deixamos o carro no hotel e usamos o ônibus que passa na porta para Manarola. De lá tem trem e barco pra todas as outras. Sem contar que a indicação de restaurante em Volastra foi excelente! 4 min a pé do hotel e tivemos um jantar surpreendente no Locanda Tiabuscion! Foi memorável!

Great Hotel! Antoinella was a perfect host. She gave us all the information we needed to get the bus down to the nearest of the 5 villages - Manorola - and to get the most out of our stay. Hotel was clean and comfortable with easy onsite parking. The bus stop was across the road and buses left regularly all day and evening. It was nice to have a place to retreat to away from the hustle and bustle of Cinque Terre. The room was clean and comfortable. Good breakfast. We had a wonderful meal in a local restaurant near the hotel in Volastra - Locunda Tiabuscion

Fantastisk värdinna, så hjälpsam, allt kunde hon lösa. Mycket bra på engelska. Fantastiskt att kunna köpa tåg o bussbiljett direkt på hotellet, en otrolig service. Bra parkering. Bra frukost. Buss precis utanför dörren. Restaurang med mycket bra mat 5 min bort.

veldig hyggelig eier som driver et hotell langt oppe i åsene over cinque terre. Hotellet var rent men forholdsvis enkelt. I nærheten var stedets eneste restaurant/kiosk/butikk.

We loved Hotel Il Saraceno!! This beautiful and peaceful hotel in Volastra, high above Manarola is easily accessible by shuttle bus that runs almost continuously. We loved everything—the decor, the quiet, the cleanliness, the breakfast, the patio—but our favorite was Antonella, the proprietor. She is amazing! Her warmth, efficiency and charm are endearing! Plus, she speaks perfect English!

The owners are fantastic!!!! Kindly gave me directions to everything!!! Always looking to help in any way they could. Loved the location about 10 minute bus ride to the top of a mountain. Easy access to the trails from there. Rooms are simple and clean. Not perfectly sound proof but everyone seemed to go to bed early that it wasn’t a problem. Can’t say enough about the staff. We had a bottle of wine in our room and when we got back to our room 2 wine glasses had magically appeared!!! That’s a big wow. Thank you for all your kindness and help.

L'albergo si è rivelato una scelta eccellente, non solo per il servizio e la gentilezza del personale, sempre disponibili e cortesi, ma anche per il supporto offerto nella visita al Parco delle Cinque Terre. Ci hanno spiegato con chiarezza il funzionamento della card del parco, facilitandoci l'accesso e la fruizione dei treni e delle navette di collegamento. Inoltre, la card è stata acquistata a un prezzo davvero conveniente, rendendo l'intera esperienza comoda e piacevole. Consiglio vivamente questo albergo a chi desidera scoprire le bellezze del territorio con un ottimo supporto.

The property is cozy away from all the crowds of 5 terre! Just want to highlight that the property is not technically on the 5 villages. It’s in a nice small village a bus ride away from the train station. The buses are usually every 45 minutes. If you want to stay away from all the crowds then it’s perfect otherwise the commute to the train station can be a pain. The property is owned and managed by a family and they are welcoming.

Petit dej très bien sans gâchis du fait d’un choix préalable d’Ève que l’on souhaite du buffet proposé. Et Antonella très très sympathique et très serviable et de bon conseil,
