Great place if you're staying in Vernazza. It's not on the main square close to the water, rather it's on the other side of the train stop. However, Vernazza is such a small place, it only takes about 2 minutes to walk down to the water. The rooms here were one of the few with A/C, which came in handy... more

Our family of four had trouble finding accomodations in Cinque Terre that was under 200 euros per night. Tonino Basso originally quoted a rate higher than what's stated in the R Steves guidebook but he was willing to honor the rate in the book. Overall, it was a fine stay. The room was basic but very clean with an updated... more

Everything was excellent - cleanliness, accessibility, friendliness etc but had trouble sleeping in Room 1 because of the noise coming from the room above my head. Lots of clippy cloppy feet, TV music talking. Ear plugs the second day helped. Would love to return to stay here. I liked that the rooms were a short walk way from the main... more

Six of us stayed in 3 of Tonino Basso's rooms in April. It was definitely the right choice.!!!! Tonino met us at the train station and the walk was just 2 minutes to his rooms. The rooms were spotless, attractive, quiet, and VERY comfortable. The bedding and towels were very luxurious. Each room had its own laptop computer with free... more

I first read about his rooms in a Rick Steves book, I think. I first visited this place 5 years ago and got on this website hoping to find a clue since all I could remember was his name, Tonino Basso. We had a most lovely experience the last time we were there and plan to book with him again.... more

We booked this place for 2 nights through 5terre at 100 Euros per night. We weren't given a specific address but knew it was next to the post office, so when we arrived in town we didn't have much trouble finding it. Tonino was there to greet us and was very friendly. The room is a good size and fairly... more

My wife and I stayed two nights at Tonino Basso's Rooms. The room was a very good size, was clean, and had free internet service in the room. While there isn't a view since it's located near the post office, it wasn't far from the main plaza or the restaurants. Tonino was very hospitable and met us at the train... more

Room was quite large, very clean, quiet at night, very nice bathroom. Not far from train station and right next to car park lot. Had free internet on a computer in room. A good value. more

Tonino has very clean, bright and modern rooms with complimentary in-room internet access. We phoned him when we got off the train and he was immediately there to take us the short walk to the rooms. Though perhaps pricey for B&Bs (though there was no breakfast) the room and service compared favorably with any hotel we stayed at in Italy... more
