“The Poet Hotel's location near the train station makes Cinque Terre easily accessible. I appreciate the hotel's embrace of modern art, extending even to the innovative breakfast area, and it is very guest oriented, featuring pet-friendly rooms and accommodating staff. From what I gather, the rooms are well-appointed, and the rainfall showers are a welcome luxury after a day of coastal exploration.”
