Albergo Suisse Bellevue in Monterosso al Mare, open June–November.
Built in 1902, Albergo Suisse Bellevue began as a Belle Époque guesthouse catering to wealthy European travelers seeking refuge on the Ligurian coast.
The property has been carefully preserved to honor its original architecture while incorporating modern hospitality amenities, maintaining its status as one of Monterosso al Mare's most distinguished lodging establishments.
Today, the hotel commands sweeping Mediterranean views from its clifftop position, offering an intimate venue for celebrations of up to 150 guests.
I stayed here in June and loved it! The rooms are big, the shower is great and the breakfast is plenty to start the day. The view is incredible but that also means it's a little off the path and at 100m of elevation. If you are in good shape it's fairly easy to go up and down from Monterosso if you don't want to wait for the shuttle. That being said there is a shuttle bus and even if it has to make 2 or 3 trips, if gets you where you need to be, just be patient, you're on vacation! Would stay here again in the future
