Pensione Sorriso is a true gem. The all-women staff are incredible: patient, helpful, multi-lingual, always assisting guests, and they carry out everything with such grace. It is a clean, comfortable, welcoming small hotel, with a lovely breakfast. Many come to Cinque Terre, rent a tiny room, and endure crowds; this pensione has a patio and private rooftop terrace where you can relax with a beer in peace, enjoy the incredible views, and smile.
