"The unit was perfect in every respect with exception of the mattress (which was terribly uncomfortable). Fair warning about parking if you are driving in. Forget about parking close by. Its a ZTL area and the nearest parking is 1.5 km outside of town (uphill). Then if and when you do manage to get to town with your luggage, you need to walk, drag, and roll your luggage another 500m to the steps which lead to the unit. Absolutely no help available with luggage. Zero. Carry at your own risk....

"Such a unique property. It was an adventure to find the property but thankfully Apple Maps was a godsend. Sinage is a bit lacking but thankfully the web page provided excellent photos. Very laid back atmosphere and only a 5 min drive into town for a late night snack. Breakfast was included and was very fresh and delicious. Eggs, bacon, fresh baking, yogurt, juices, cereal cheese, and cold cuts. Excellent choices. Highlights included an incredible view and sounds of the town below, breakfast in a stone and brick basement, and hidden rooms and nooks that spark the imagination of times passed Highly recommend"

"Very clean room and fantastic owner and family, They were very nice and friendly and were contactable very easily throughout the trip. The breakfast is small but good selection of food (Italian style! ❤️). The walk to the town/train station is about 35 minutes down a very steep cliff edge, the views are amazing but I would recommend hiking back up before dark otherwise you can walk the main road which is very long and steep. However it is was very enjoyable and I would definitely recommend, they’re in a prime location and we managed to see all the towns by train, we will be back!"

8/10 Good
"When we first arrived at Hotel Park Argento (HPA),..our first thought was it wasn't going to be that good BUT read on...we were very wrong...it turned out to be a GREAT stay with Park Argento. The staff is awesome... Maria at the front desk, was SOOO nice and sweet....Michele (Micael) the bartender (who makes the best Espresso Martini I've ever had...BY FAR) and Georgio the waiter at Guido Restaurant on site were all incredible people. AND let me not forget all the women who worked so hard at breakfast, so friendly and accommodating, not joking...they felt like friends by the time we left. They responded so quickly and pleasantly all the time. The rooms are really spacious, the bathroom is ok, the showers are really tiny although the water pressure is great. The pool area is also really comfortable...nice chairs and the Hotel provides bathrobes and slippers for everyone in the rooms. Also..the Spa area is sort of connected to the pool area and I did a massage and ooooh....SOOO good! The little drawback is that its not in Cinque Terre...its one town removed to the northeast. It's the 1st stop on the train after Monterosso so its not that bad. You do get used to it after a couple days and HPA offers a free pick up shuttle from both the train and city center too. Like I said earlier...very nice. All-in-all I, would recommend them...and don't judge the book by its cover."
