As all the other reviews have mentioned, the property is located on a hillside with spectacular views. Our room was for 3 people and the only view from the room was through the wooden blinds over a window.

Loved this location! The units are a bit dated if that’s something that matters to you but I truly thought it was the cutest place to stay in the Cinque Terre area with an INCREDIBLE view of the ocean. The bus system picks and drops you right off from there as well. We will definitely be staying here again!

Amazing!
Yes there are a lot of steps. Yes it’s a little “rustic”. The place is imperfect, BUT....the views and beauty of this hotel makes it a 10. You will not stay in a more beautiful setting-ever! It’s quiet, with lots of quaint little seating areas outside to take it all in. It’s an adventure, but totally worth it!

Be ready for exercise. All rooms/cabins are many steps down the hillside, but provide welcoming comforts, such as kitchens, private gardens & visiting gattis. Thankfully, there is a small rail service that will carry your luggage back to the top upon departure. Awesome views, great location, if you are visiting Cinque Terre. This facility is rural, but has a resto/bar, a next door bar, and a couple of other places to eat within a few hundred meters.....just check on operating hours, as they can vary. Certainly would stay here again.

This unique cliffside resort has great units that have been updated from a village that supported vineyard workers. We relaxed on the outdoor terraces and outside spaces--each unit has a garden or patio. After hiking, we would have snacks and wine while enjoying the mediterranean views, and relax on the many hammocks and lounge chairs, and also an outdoor shower to cool off and refresh. The rooms were cozy and comfortable with full bath, and ours had a nice kitchenette. In the morning we enjoyed the buffet breakfasts on the outdoor patio dining area. In the evening after a busy day touring Cinque Terre, the outdoor dining room served a delicious variety of dinner entrees and desserts, plus great wine choices. This property is highly recommended! We plan to stay there again next year -- for a week. Roberto

Great glamping experience with amazing views
If you are visiting cinque terre, i would suggest staying here instead of staying in one of the 5 Terres. Its really close to Riomaggiore and has breathtaking views, amazing amenities and jaw dropping services. Our stay here was very relaxing. The only turn-off was that we didnt get the room we were expecting and the walk was more than 250 steps. So if you’re having any problems with walking or climbing stairs, please reconsider. Otherwise, if you wanna experience nature and experience the beautiful Cinque Terre and Italian Reveira, this is the place to stay !! Best decision ever to choose this hotel for our stay !!!

An excellent property with a beautiful view of the sea from your balcony. But the owner seems not too interested in providing basic services like room cleaning, lunch at restaurant etc, if you are carrying heavy luggage be very careful as you would need to tread downhill carrying them yourselves! While checking out there is an arrangement of loading the luggage on a small pulley which will bring your luggage & leave it on the side of the road. An excellent property but sad that it's not run the way it should have been.

Gorgeous property! Please note that there are many stairs you need to walk up/down to get to the apartments. The view is worth it! We loved staying in Riomaggiore and Il Borgo di Campi. The hotel is located outside of the main town area which is great because you its cozy and quiet. Great place to watch the sunset. The restaurant on the property is delicious! Highly recommend!

This hotel has a spectacular setting high up on the hill overlooking the sea, a couple of miles from Riomaggiore. The rooms consist of self-catering apartments that are spacious and well equipped. There is an excellent on-site restaurant and also an adjacent snack bar that seems to be quite separate from the hotel that also serves excellent pasta and seafood dishes. There are some downsides. Be prepared for a lot of climbing up and down stairs though there is a baggage train so you don't have to haul your heavy bags up (only down). There are also some idiosyncrasies such as the checkin office only being open for a few hours each day. If you're arriving without a car, be prepared to adapt your schedule to the very irregular bus service or else spend a lot of money on taxis. If we had fully understood the geography of the Cinque Terre we would have stayed near one of the railway stations since there is a frequent and well used train service that connects the five villages and neighboring towns such as La Spezia. However if we had done that, we would have missed out on some very enjoyable evenings observing the scenery.

Terrible experience with this hotel. In fact, it is not a hotel, but a very uncomfortable camp situated just on a dusty road, outside any living area. You cannot take any substantial luggage into the room, because the camp is located on a very steep slope, steps of which only very young people can clime. Beds are cheap and very uncomfortable. Rooms are sleazy, bad smelling. No cleaning during your stay. The staff is not helpful. The most amazing thing is that the price inappropriate for such a low level of service. Do not be fulled by the beautiful pictures! It is the worst hotel I ever stayed in my multiple travels to Italy.

Thanks for the beautiful views, gardens and experience! The trade off of not being in one of the Cinque Terre towns is worth while with the fair price and awesome view! One small issue with the Wifi at times slow. but the cottages set into the hills with their own gardens, nice air, and freindly staff made our stay special. One should mention the "hike" to the rooms is not for the weak of heart as there is over 100 steps. But it is this path that offers the most amazing views, the ocean at sunset, gardens, grapes vines, flowers, trellised covered paths.... don't stay here if you prefer no view windowless rooms in towns with loud music till late and lots of crowds.

This hotel is nowhere near Riomaggiore. It should not state that it is in Cinque Terre. The amount of steps that you have to take to go back and forth from your hotel makes it not accessible to older or disabled people, this must be noted in the description of the hotel. The bathrooms are very small, the shower was 18” x 18”. The restaurant that they have is a trap, they charged 10 euros for a piece of lasagna that was no more the 3 inches. For all of this I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, I think might been better.

Great views, a bit hard to get to/from main city
We stayed here for part of our honeymoon. We loved the views. The cottages were nice but a little noisy (we were on the bottom of a two story unit and the couple upstairs had loud children). The rooms were also very damp and musty smelling and one morning there was no hot water (could have been due to sharing with upstairs). And so many stairs! We wished we had packed lighter having to carry our luggage down so far, and were very grateful for the luggage lift we were allowed to use on the way back up. Dinner was great here. Hard to get to with very limited bus time runs and sometimes the bus just drove by and we had to get a taxi... so plan accordingly.

This hotel had pleasing personnel. Our room did not have any air condition but did have fans provided. The cleanliness was just ok as the windows were left open with no screen and there were some insects that made there way in. The view was nice and there were quite a few areas to sit down and enjoy the ocean view.

A Perfect Gateway in Italy
Stay at Borgo Di Campii was good, location wise it is an excellent place. A perfect hideout from hectic urban lifestyle. Hotel is located at top of mountain and rooms are located at base. We had to walk down 4 floors down to our room. Room is like cottage overseeing Mediterranean sea. Room had Kitchen, Hygienic Bathroom, small garden overseeing Mediterranean sea. Service wise restaurant is Ok for vegetarian folks. If you are having luggage then it is an issue as hotel has only twice the day porter arrangement to bring up your luggage from your room. Porter services can be improvised to support family tourist. Veg Options can be introduced in restaurants. Pasta with Pesto sauce is a Non Veg item,as Pesto sauce contains Parmesan cheese which has rennet (more about rennet https://goo.gl/xfeQFJ)

Worth the climb!
After reading several reviews that complained about the steep climbs, I thought we were prepared for the steps. We were upgraded and given the front casa (more steps). I won’t say the walk up was easy for a 68 year old couple, but the view was the reward. We also came to the Cinque Terre for the views and to experience vertical living. The II Borgo di Campi is all that and more. I am so glad we stayed there, away from the crowds and surrounded by beautiful landscaping and nature.

Our stay at Il Borgo di Campi was wonderful. Check-in was a breeze, the staff was very friendly, making the ambiance feel like a family. Marco was particularly wonderful. Food was good but the same menu each day got a bit much. Beds were not extremely comfortable, but the noise level was very low. Very peaceful place, highly recommended.

Killer Views of Mediterranean Sunsets
We were a little skeptical after reading some of the other reviews but have to say that we enjoyed our stay. The key is to have a clear expectation and read the full description posted as well as reviews. The staff was nice and helpful. There are quite a few steps to climb but it's do-able. The rooms are rustic but functional and have decent space. The views of the ocean and the property are amazing and make it all worth it. There is a bus (was always on time) that takes you to nearby Riomaggiore where you can hop on the train or begin your hike on the trails. It's not as convenient as staying in one of the 5 towns but I liked that when you come back in the evening it was quite and peaceful. Good value for the price compared to nearby towns also. If you are driving I highly recommend staying here as they have free parking. Parking in the towns is very difficult or impossible especially if you have a van or large vehicle.

Lots of stairs, like any place in Cinque Terre (unless staying in the middle of the small, busy town centres.). I believe if you ask you can arrange for your bags to be brought up by a lift track when checking out (you climb down stairs to access your room from reception). Views are phenomenal. Best restaurant we've been to on our trip so far. The food was impeccable. Wifi was spotty, particularly in our rooms. Friendly, helpful staff. Would definitely stay again.

You can find better
Hotel is far from everything and very difficult to find and get to. It has an amazing view, but not enough to overcome all of the issues. We paid for room with a different credit card then what we reserved the room with. After more than two weeks they still do not have the charges canceled on the first card! Air conditioner did not work, the blow dryer blew up, no maid service if staying more than one day, you take out your own garbage or you get charged. Stay in one of the five villages instead. Too many hassles here trying to time the bus and trains to actually get to and from this hotel.

When you book you have all the information about the resort. It is clearly mentioned we are 4 km far from the village! It is mendioned no maid service and that our are self catering apartments. How are you booking your stays? Without reading where you are going? Or you just look for the rates? Yes probably you are very smart 5 stars service paying low rates! We know we are outside the village and we tell it, we tell our are self catering apartments, our are conditioning is working from 18:00 to 6:00 to give a lower temperature of which you have outside but not witjh polar temperatures: you are are of this class of persons who wants 25 degrees in winter but 25 degree in summer are too much! Your first card hasn't been charged: we are asking for card validity and confirmation the card can be charged for the amount of stay: the day you check out if you use a different card we automatically ask in the same moment to VISA or MASTERCARD to cancel the authorizathion they gave us: usually they do it in a couple of days if it is not been done yet please contact them. Please don't recomend to your friends if are like you!

We had a great time. Our room Shangi 'La was beautiful. It had a fantastic view of the sea, outdoor patio with a table and chairs and umbrella. There were 2 double beds in their own areas so each bed space had some privacy. Our room did have steep stairs but most of their rooms do not.

Customer service is overrated!
You cannot see the town from this position. Only 4 rooms have a balcony. And the view from allocated garden areas is not worth talking about. Better from the small window but had to close because looking straight at neighbours balcony which they took advantage of. Privacy with views does not exist. 2.5 hours for two drinks and one course in restaurant for dinner. Meal was good just had to wait far too long. You could see the restaurant waiter was under too much stress trying to serve a full restaurant by himself. Second attendant obviously late and not really interested. You could add a few extra euros onto price and get a reasonable service if $ the issue but you get the feeling customers are an inconvenience.
