The long waiting list at the Il Giardino Incantato is evidence of how popular this place is with guests. The in-demand bed and breakfast has four gorgeous guest rooms with such details as exposed stone arches or wood beams, gold chandeliers, and ornate headboards. The hotel is a five-minute walk to the beach and offers a breakfast buffet that can be eaten in a beautiful garden with lemon trees and colorful flowers. The hotel is not suitable for young children. Another popular pick in the area is the Albergo Marina, a nearby boutique hotel that provides a tasty afternoon snack of pasta and salad.

Located next to the town square, in the old town section of Monterosso al Mare, the two-and-a-half-pearl La Colonnina Hotel is close to plenty of historic scenery and excellent restaurants. The 21 rooms in this family-run destination vary quite a bit, from a Standard Double Room with just the essential furniture to a Family Triple Room with a balcony and view. But all come with free Wi-Fi, marble bathrooms, and flat-screen TVs. The rooftop terrace, which looks out onto the Ligurian sea, is a big plus as is the continental breakfast. Travelers could also compare rates and amenities with the neighboring budget Hotel Souvenir, which is also pet-friendly.

The two-and-a-half-pearl Hotel Stella della Marina was originally built over 450 years ago, and though very little of the original structure remains (apart from a stair railing), the historic hotel has one of the best locations in Monterosso al Mare. You'll find it in a quiet back alley, half a block from the village square and five minutes on foot from the train, beach, and hiking path to Vernazza. The 10 rooms and suites are spacious and contemporary, some of them have sea views. Public spaces are limited to the rooftop terrace where the free breakfast buffet and drinks are served, but most guests spend their time exploring the village. The most notable downside is the lack of an elevator. For travelers who prefer to be away from the action, check rates at B&B Il Parco.

Situated on the main street of Monterosso al Mare's old town, the mid-range Hotel Margherita is within a short walk of numerous restaurants, bars, and shops. Renovated in 2011, the hotel's 31 rooms are decorated with contemporary, if unremarkable, furniture and have flat-screen TVs, safes, and free Wi-Fi.

Sitting along the coast in the Cinque Terre village of Monterosso al Mare, the Hotel Baia is a charming budget property offering a private section of beach with loungers at a cost. The hotel is ideally located for exploring Cinque Terre, as it's a two-minute walk from trains that connect the villages, and on the hiking trails that run along the coast and through the countryside. A free continental breakfast is served on a terrace with views of the Mediterranean, but that's about all for amenities. The hotel’s 29 rooms are old-fashioned, but they're spacious, bright, and come with mini-fridges and flat-screen TVs. Some have balconies with lovely sea views. Note that there's lots of steps, and an elevator is only available for luggage and guests with limited mobility. For a more modern stay, consider the Albergo Degli Amici.
