“Abbiamo soggiornato in questo affitta camere per quattro giorni ( 3 notti) per visitare le Cinque Terre. Che dire la camera era tutta nuova e pulita, la colazione abbondante , ma quello che ci ha colpito di più è stata la gentilezza e cortesia della signora pronta a soddisfare ogni nostra richiesta. Ci ha fatti sentire come a casa nostra.Super consigliato per chi vuole visitare le Cinque Terre data anche la vicinanza alla stazione dei treni”

“Excellent guest house- small, family owned, lovely garden for breakfast, super clean and comfortable rooms. Everything fresh, modern, probably the best bed and pillows I have had in Italy.! Very accommodating and welcoming hosts, picked us up at train station upon arrival and took us back 4 days later, served excellent breakfast with lots of fresh fruit, coffee, fresh juice, etc. Really lovely and very friendly family! Outstanding! We stayed in the room with a balcony and view to the garden. Very easy walk to train station- 10 min, safe area with very good restaurant around the corner. Highly suggest this house for the base for exploring Cinque Terre. Very convenient. I would return here again and again!”

“Ich hatte einen wirklich sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt in dieser Unterkunft und kann sie nur weiterempfehlen. Alles war sauber, gepflegt und liebevoll eingerichtet, sodass man sich sofort wohlgefühlt hat. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich die Besitzerin: Sie war außergewöhnlich nett, herzlich und jederzeit hilfsbereit. Egal ob es um Tipps zur Umgebung oder kleine Anliegen ging – sie hat sich immer Zeit genommen und war sehr engagiert, den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten. Insgesamt eine rundum positive Erfahrung. Ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen!”

“location perfetta a due passi da ogni servizio necessario: il centro a due minuti a piedi, supermercato e stazione. le camere sono molto belle arredamento stupendo e la struttura in se è fatta molto bene. mi sono trovato molto bene e a mio agio e soprattutto in un luogo molto rilassante poiché la sera sono stato tranquillo e senza nessun rumore o fastidio. il servizio impeccabile: persone squisite e di ottima accoglienza. che dire un vero tempio del relax e della comodità!”

“We spent, my wife and I, four wonderful days at la Maison du Lion. It was a great experience. The accommodation was very confortable and clean. The location is very handy, all interesting sites are easily accessible. The host is extremely nice and attentionate. She made our stay very much enjoyable. She was very helpful giving us advice on how to get the best from our sightseeing visits. She spared no effort to provide extra when needed. The breakfast is excellent and with good quality fresh ingredients and produce. We are very grateful to the host for the wonderful time we had. I strongly recommend whoever plans to visit cinque terre and/or Portofino to consider staying at La Maison du Lion. Sonia and Monty”
