Albergo Degli Amici

Albergo Degli Amici is a 3-star hotel in the heart of the historic centre of Monterosso al Mare, in the Cinque Terre, just 200 metres from the town’s sandy beaches.

Room types

Albergo Degli Amici offers twelve room types, from economy singles to quadruple rooms designed for families or small groups, with sizes ranging from 10 to 35 square metres. All rooms are air-conditioned and feature a private bathroom with hairdryer, flat-screen TV and, in most cases, toiletries, wardrobe and safe; many also offer free WiFi connection.

The Quadruple Room with Sea View, the largest at 35 m², is the ideal option for those seeking more space and a direct view of the Ligurian Sea, while the economy single rooms suit solo travellers on a tighter budget.
