Il Magàn - Cinque Terre

Very bad professional service. I do not recommend booking at this hotel. They are 0 flexible on changing dates and a very bad customer service. They do not answer the emails neither phone calls. It is very difficult to contact them. I am sure there are many more hotels in Cinque Terre that will provide you a better service.

If you happen to take the Single Yellow room, then you really need to have luck of having good neighbours in the adjacent room. I had a loud and ill mannered elderly couple as neighbours, probably from America. The rooms aren't sound proof and you hear a lot from the whole house, but this tiny place on the cliffs of Corniglia has its own charm. Everything is functional and well kept. The view from the balcony or also the breakfast terrace ist beautiful. All in all a good place.

We stayed at Il Magàn for four nights and used it as a base to hike to the other towns. The view from the room is amazing, it is cool and cosy, but with enough room for the three of us. The bathroom is tiny, especially the shower, so if you like a spacious bathroom, maybe this is not for you. The bar La Scuna, attached to the property is just downstairs and has the most incredible view to watch the sun set over the coast. Food and drinks were great too. We loved our time here, and really loved the little town of Corniglia. Would definitely stay here again, hopefully we will before too long!

Great place to stay. We really liked this village - seemed more laid back than some of the others which was perfect for us. The room is clean and private. We loved having a snack and wine outside on the patio with a sea view. The breakfast in the morning is outstanding. Hike the trail and go wine tasting nearby.

We enjoyed our stay in the La Scuna apartment very much. We had a little trouble locating it, but friendly locals helped out. The apartment is spacious, nicely decorated and well equipped. Unlike the B & B rooms, La Scuna apartment does not have sea views, but it does have a view up along the rugged and terraced hills, which is very nice. It is well set-up for those who like to self-cater, with fridge, cooktop, microwave, dining table and chairs, and ample crockery and cutlery. Staff were friendly and helpful, including when we needed advice on how to access the TV channels. Corniglia seemed very crowded when we arrived, but that may have been because the shuttle bus had just disgorged a couple of loads of passsengers from the station. It seemed to ease off after a while and from our experience of the 5 villages, Corniglia was the least crowded and nicest one to be staying in. There are numerous cafes and bars, as well as a couple of mini-markets where provisions may be purchased. We found the apartment to be very comfortable, although a little cold, due to the late arrival of Spring weather and minimal heating. The internet connection could be patchy, helped by finding a suitable hotspot within the unit and it appeared that the apartment may have been unoccupied for some time, as the floors were quite dusty when we arrived (soon fixed with a good sweeping). All in all, an excellent place to stay, especially if you want to self-cater.

Unique setting. Cobblestone street that was only available to foot traffic. Convenient location to cafe and restaurant choices. Shuttle bus to the train station was close. Room was spacious. The shower was tiny and a challenge for a larger person. Accessibility for people with mobility challenges would be a major barrier. The views were tremendous. Breakfast each morning on the deck had a view of the hills next to the sea.

The room was clean and had a small terrace with a view to the sea. I enjoyed my stay very much.

I cannot recommend this bed and breakfast enough! Incredibly kind people who were very gracious and kind, and were very welcoming despite our poor Italian. The room was clean, spacious, and had a wonderful view, and the attached restaurant (La Scuna) had a great breakfast and bar! Would absolutely recommend to anyone in the Cinque Terre looking for a quiet, beautiful, and peaceful stay.
