- "The breakfast was very good and the property although out of the city offered transportation whenever it was needed. The staff, which was mostly family, where friendly and very helpful." - "great breakfast" - "We were extremely sad to leave Mario and his family at Costa di Faraggiana recently after a brilliant stay which we could not fault. We are so glad we decided not to pick a place closer to Levanto town / chain hotel to experience the beautiful views up where the family hotel is situated to get to know the family and have a wonderful stay in the peace and quiet, amongst the scenery. The view from our room was fantastic too. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking vineyards and Levanto was a perfect way to start the day with a warm welcome each time. The hotel provide frequent and reliably timed shuttles down to Levanto and back, and provide ad hoc lifts to the station if you arrive by train. They helped us book restaurants which were local in Levanto which they also enjoy eating at. They were popular with the locals and tourists as we often saw people turned away whilst eating there. The spa (with steam room and sauna to use in the afternoon) / jacuzzi / pool overlooking was just the icing on top of the cake. Drinks at the bar are reasonably priced - we recommend a Hugo spritz by the pool or on the terrace. 100% recommend - you won’t regret it for beautiful scenery, peace and quiet after a busy day in one or more of the Cinque Terre villages. Our only regret was not saying bye to Mina and Zoe! Thank you and we would definitely return again, and have already told our friends and family about Costa Di Faraggiana"

- "When we left VIlli Rosmarino 2 years ago, we knew we had to come back here. Our second visit this September was just as wonderful as we remembered it in 2021. The entire hotel staff and owner Mario are most welcoming, always helpful, as if they were welcoming you into their own home. The property is situated on a magnificent hill with a magical view of the bay and Camogli. The luxurious swimming pool where we spent our afternoons and the very tasty breakfasts (and excellent juices!) were a pleasant addition, which is always important to us. What is also important to us that the villa has few rooms (for 2 people), so the property is not overcrowded, and the other guests both in 2021 and now were very cordial and I feel that no one bothered each other. We are sure that we will definitely return again, because the Villa as well as Camogli itself is excellent and still not filled with tourists. <3"

Thank you!" - "The accomodation was really clean and fresh throughout with lots of extra touches which made it very homely: some kitchen basics had been provided and there was milk, bread, butter, jam(home made I think), biscuits and some gorgeous home grown tomatoes too! Giulia was very friendly and helpful on check in and gave us lots of tips about the local area and how to get around. Driving in the Cinque Terre can be difficult so it was good to know about the local transport options. There was lots of outside areas to the property to enjoy the sun and eat - although we were out til late each night so did not get to explore the outside garden area much but it looked lovely and other guests seemed to be enjoying using it. The bathroom was really lovely and we loved the olive oil based shower gel provided! All through the property was beautiful art work and quirky antique style furniture which really add character to this place. The location of the property is very high up and it is so peaceful . Our room was on the top floor and the air conditioning was very welcome after the very hot days we had there."
