Agriturismo Costa di Campo

The terrace has an enchanting panoramic sea view, a lovely spot to relax with morning tea. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with a good-sized bathroom and toilet. The fridge was well stocked, as were the tea and coffee, and we felt very safe. We only stayed one night. The place is a little outside town, but the hosts drove us both ways on arrival day. The next day there wasn't a ride available, so we walked downhill to Venarazza, which took about 30 minutes.

We'd come from Tuscany for our honeymoon, but left just five minutes after arriving. The road up the mountain made me uncomfortable, even though I've driven all over the world for years. It's a steep, one-way mountain road, and you need to watch for oncoming traffic. We could have waited a day or two for a bus into town to get groceries, but that would have meant staying there without food in the meantime. We told the owner, who said she couldn't help and that we wouldn't get a refund. Be very cautious when booking.

We had no phone service or wifi at the 'hotel'. To get a signal, we had to walk about a kilometer. Since we needed to make calls and send work emails, this made the stay extremely unpleasant. We raised the problem on the first day. The owners said they were still waiting for a technician, and had been for days, but showed no concern or understanding. We said we knew it wasn't their fault, but wished they had warned us so we could have booked somewhere else. They had no response and showed no interest. The connection never came back during our stay. We expected a discount because we hadn't been told about the outage, but none was offered at checkout. When we asked, the owner said, "the wifi is something additional, we are not making you pay for it but we don't counter for issues either''. It came across as though we should be glad they offered it for free. PS: wifi is listed among the amenities, or at least it was when we went and it is now. It's extremely hard to reach, with few parking spots. We were assigned the lateral sea view room, but there was no sea view from it.

Up in the Vernazza hills, this was a beautiful place to stay. The walk down to vernazza cinque Terre was great if you enjoy nature and walking. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and breakfast was amazing. I'd happily stay here again.
