Hotel Palme

This is the newer side of Montessoro. There is an older side, plus the other four towns of Cinque Terro which have a different feel to them. If you really want to stay in the old buildings, perhaps the other towns would be better. We though Vernazzo would be a better location but they might be limited on places to stay.

Positiv: Location was great. Walking distance to the train and about a block off the beach.

Negativ: I felt the staff wasn't exceptionally friendly. Our first impression was that the reception was rude. It was very expensive and we felt like we were a bother to them.

Positiv: Clean large room, location is close to beach, hiking, and shopping, and breakfast is amazing!

Negativ: US rates online did not match hotel charges in Euros
