Spectacular location perfect for hiking to Manarola and Corniglia. Facilities were very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was a huge treat and very generous. We unfortunately arrived very late at night and it was challenging to find the location. We were grateful the staff waited to check us in. The language barrier between us and the staff was challenging but we managed. They sometimes seemed gruff and did not offer much assistance in navigating the area. But overall, it was a terrific location with a breathtaking view!
Featuring garden views, The Garden in Volastra offers accommodations and a garden. There's a private entrance at the vacation home for the convenience of those who stay.

Beautiful interior. Frustrated with air conditioning that did not work in the larger unit when it was 99 degrees out. Thought we would sit outside when sun went down to cool off but eaten alive by mosquitoes.

Amazing Location!! Such a cute place in a small village above Manarola. Amazing views on rooftop deck. Very nice, spacious apartment. Two bathrooms were a plus! Pictures on website do not do it justice for how pretty the views were. Shuttle to Manarola was easy. Hike to Vernazza beautiful! Good restaurant in town and a super cute market to buy groceries. Owner was helpful and responsive.

Volastra is a lovely little village with amazing views of the sea. If you do not have transport then need to stick to the bus schedule. Quite high up.
Beautiful hikes in nature and through the vineyards.

Handy to Manarola, via (steep) walking track and shuttle bus, but away from the crowds. The two restaurants have limited options (especially for vegetarians) and are quite expensive, but the little village shops is quite good. We ate in other villages and made pleasing breakfasts and lunches with supplies from the shop. The village is small, so easy to walk. If you need your morning coffee, though, make sure you bring your own supplies.
Volastra is in the agricultural heart of the Cinque Terre, but still with views over the sea, and the terraced hillsides.

Volastra is an excellent alternative to staying in one of the Cinque Terre villages. It’s higher up on the hills than Manarola and Corneglia, but is easy to get to by car (make sure your hotel/apartment has parking) and buses run rather frequently to and from Manarola (and even Riomaggiore, but less frequently). Be aware that the bus schedule is less frequent during the mid-day hours as well as later at night. From Manarola, it’s very easy to hop on the train to go to any of the Cinque Terre villages. Volastra is the mid point on the trail hike Manarola-Corneglia and it’s very easy to access the trails. In my opinion the Volastra to Corneglia hike is THE most beautiful of all the Cinque Terre trails, and hiking from Volastra to Corneglia (as opposed to the other way) is also a little less strenuous. Same for Corneglia to Vernazza (as opposed to the opposite direction).

Volastra in itself doesn’t really offer much: it’s a quiet village with an amazing view. But the real deal is down at sea level.
A convenient bus takes you down to Manarola and from there you can get the train to visit the other ‘terre’.
If you buy the 5 terre card, you can hop on and off the bus and train as much as you want. It’s around 19€ a day per person, while the single bus fare is 1.50€

Volastra is a great place to escape to for some quiet time and relaxation. There is a shuttle that stops here, but we decided to drive. It is situated high on the mountainside. The trip up is a little difficult, but the views of the sea are well worth the adventure. There is an excellent restaurant Locanda Tiabisucion in the town. You can also easily trek down to Manarola and Comiglia.

This property was fine for a short stay.
This property was fine for a short stay. We stayed two nights, giving us an evening and a full day to visit the Cinque Terre. It was very close to public transportation to go down to Manarola where you can easily catch the train that stops at all the other Cinque Terre towns. The view from this apartment is incredible! Plan to have easily portable luggage because you will need to carry it up to the fourth floor. Thankfully, the host helped us with our carry-on sized bags that were pre-packed for a two night stay. The kitchen is awesome. There was no TV, but there was wifi. There is also a hiking trail that connects to Corniglia (another Cinque Terre village) very close to the apartment and a small store with food supplies. We didn't try the restaurant there, but it looked like it would be good.
We arrived here both getting over food poisoning and were not at our best. The lovely Anna got us settled in very easily and quickly and proved to be not only a font of knowledge, but very helpful and had, I realised, a very fun sense of humour. Our room was great and the whole hotel very quiet and peaceful.
Fantastic place to use as a base for exploring the cinque terre. The bus stop over the road was invaluable as going to any of the nearby cinque terre towns by car really is to be avoided.
Perfect location! The best way to enjoy Cinque Terre without all of the noise and crowds. Volastra is a lovely area with great views and along the hiking trail of Cinque Terre, so perfect to walk one way to Manarola or the other to go north to the next 3 (Corniglia etc). Lovely terrace to enjoy sitting outside, and close to Locanda Tiabuscion restaurant (wonderful!) and a small market. Andrea was so helpful with check in, where to park pie car, and bus timetables.
Antonella was awesome host, she gave us a lot of information about Cinque Terre. You can choice from savory or sweet breakfast, or both as we did. Safety garage for the car. If you are travelling with car and want to hike and explore Cinque Terre come here ! From Volastra we made a day drips and hike to Manarola, Riomaggiore and Corniglia. You can also use the bus, the bus stop is 50 meters from hotel. And in Volastra sunsets are beautiful.
The space was very comfortable and cute. The private bathroom is always nice to have. There is a great view from the small porch. Andrea was a great host and helped us out many times throughout the trip. This property is in a small village above Manarola, which was a nice thing once the heavy crowds started rolling in. We could escape to our little village! The spot is also very close to some of the famous Cinque Terre trails!
Although not in the heart of one of the 5 Cinque Terre towns, transport via a small bus to Manarola is easy, and the location and view are great. Apartment was clean and well furnished. Our 4- night stay was marred by overcast conditions and rain, until our last day when the sun shone through. With the help of the train service we were able to visit all 5 villages in a day.
Everything was excellent! Antonella was a wonderful host! The hotel was extremely clean, staff very friendly and helpful! Breakfast was delicious. The bedroom and bathroom were spacious and beds comfortable! The hotel was very well Maintained ! We loved our stay!
The view was beautiful! It was very peaceful to come to the home after a busy day in cinque terre! Such a unique property that gave us a really cool experience. Mattresses were comfortable and basic necessities were provided. Our kids loved watching the animals.
Hotel II Saraceno is way up the mountain from Manarola, but what a wonderful experience! It is beautiful up there, near the hiking trail over to Corniglia and near wineries, and the Sanctuary church. The hostess was great, and the room was simple and just right.
The Location is so nice and secluded from the busy towns of Cinque Terre. We loved being able to use it as a refuge after hiking around all day. The kitchen is a great bonus and has enough equipment to cook for yourself. The host stocked everything really well!
Awesome spot in Volastra. One of the more quiet towns in Cinque Terre which we really enjoyed. Andrea was a great host and the room was comfy and as described. We had a car and it was also one of the easier towns to get too. Would recommend staying here!
... the rest of the hotel is stupendous. Highly recommended if you do not want to start in the CT villages but you get the benefit of breathtaking views of three of them. For hikers, the path between Manarola and Corniglia passes a few meters away.
Loved the location, Volastra, escape from the busy cinque Terre during the day. The view from the apartment is just stunning, the sky meets the ocean. There are 3 wonderful restaurants in Volastra and breathtaking hikes with amazing views.
Volastra is an ideal spot for a chilled winter retreat. Very peaceful and surrounded by dramatic scenarios, yet very close to the Cinque Terre, well connected with a shuttle bus. We parked our car and mostly moved by public transport.
modern, bright, very clean, good attention to detail, well equipped for basic BnB, cooking needs. Great use of space indoors and lovely courtyard space. Lovely views of hills in peaceful surrounds of Volastra. Very secure property.
Excellent for those who want to explore the Cinque Terre villages. The hotel is nice, clean and the view is excellent from the terrace. The staff is super super friendly and the breakfast was also nice
Hotel was clean, well maintained, pleasant, and comfortable. The Hostess/owner was very gracious, accommodating, helpful! The breakfasts were excellent! The room provided great comfort and amenities.
This hotel is located away from the tourist congestion of the small Cinque Terre towns but easily accessed by bus from Manarola. The view from the hotel is spectacular.
