Agriturismo Missanega

Truly a gem! We went last year and have been talking about it ever since. It’s an experience in itself. They pick you up from the parking lot with a golf cart. Your journey begins with a trip through their olive trees down to the house. We had dinner which was amazing. You get a sheet for breakfast in which you can choose options, which is great for reducing waste. Breakfast on the terrace was beautiful and delicious. To end our trip on a high note, we even bought some of their own produce, which was an amazing call. Definitely go!

What a beautiful place! We loved staying here. So peaceful and gorgeous. Big, comfortable rooms. Amazing view over the sea. The gardens are beautiful. Service so friendly and helpful. We got served a simple meal on arrival. There is a free shuttle bus that goes regularly into town. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on our porch looking at the Med with our morning coffee. Totally recommend.

Had a wonderful time staying here. Diego, Alessandro and the rest of the crew there were very accommodating. Rooms were nice, city you're away from the main monterosso area it's very quiet there. Once you get dropped off from the shuttle you may have to walk down a steep windy path to get the to stay. If available you might be able to get a ride in their mini truck down and up the path. We had dinner there one of the nights and the food was wonderful as well.

We stayed in Montirosso and with a simple walk up the old town road, they sent a shuttle van to pick us up to the restaurant/hotel. The driveway was 200' long and a fun walk down, but they have a CAT to bring you down and up if you don't want to walk it. If the weather is good, like it was for us, you will dine outside and it was outstanding. Desserts were also amazing.

A rustic farm house sits in the middle of the Monterosso hillside. ||+ The car park is next to the main road and easy to find. ||After entering the gate, the staff drove us down to the farm house with a tractor through a steep and windy path. That’s quite an experience. ||+ Panoramic view of the ocean, valley, and hills. ||We stayed 4 nights and had 2 dinners. |+ Food was amazing, people make a trip there for dinner ||Breakfast is included, we fill in the form and pre-order the night before. Good variety. ||+ Diego is friendly, helpful and attentive, he has helped us sort out bookings and logistics. Good job Diego. ||Room is clean with AC. ||- Wifi was a little weak outside the reception/ cafe area.||+ plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables from the farm, love it ||+ lots of play ground for the kids||The farm house has 3 storeys with stairs. ||Suitable for family with kids who like a peaceful stay close to nature and away from the crowds. ||Monterosso is the first village of Cinque Terre, I take the shuttle bus to town then hop on a train to explore the villages. Easy and a great way to travel.

We had dinner here. We stayed elsewhere because the hotel was booked, but what a special place! Up on the hillside with amazing views, a very romantic dining experience. Important to note, they have a van that will pick you up in Monterosso Al Mare the old section. Very easy to access, just contact the restaurant to let them know to expect you. The meal was the best we had in Monterosso. A plus, was escaping the tumult of the over crowded streets and restaurants of the towns. Go, you won’t be sorry

I’ll start with the great things about Missanega. It’s beautiful. The views are amazing. The staff is friendly. We were given an info packet upon arrival which was quite helpful. The breakfast brought to our room daily in a basket was great. The shuttle service was always right on time when we requested to be picked up from town. It was my understanding from the website that I’d have WiFi access. This was very important to me. However, it never worked. The front office staff tried restarting the modem but I could not stay connected to wifi for more than a few seconds during my 3 day stay. This may not matter to other guests however. Additionally, I could not make any phone calls. Because of this, I couldn’t call a cab to be picked up outside of the shuttle service schedule. I have no doubt the front office staff would help with arrangements like this, unless a guest were to need something while the front office is closed overnight. While I understood this Agriturismo was out of the town center, I was not aware that I wouldn’t be able to use my phone. A window in our room (Ginestra) wouldn’t close fully and we found quite a few bugs in our room. I don’t mind bugs too much and I know this is a house on a farm, but it would have been nice if the window closed. I know this is a small thing, but the massive shower has absolutely no shelves or ledges for any products which was strange. They do have a bottle of shower gel mounted inside the shower so if you’re a 3 in 1 kind of person then you’ll be happy. If you come and go outside of the shuttle schedule you’ll probably have to hike the little road (as opposed to riding in the back of the tractor) between the house and the gate which I’ll admit was more of a hike than I expected. Anyone older or with limited mobility may have trouble with this. I did not understand the state of the road from the website, but did have a hint about this from other previous reviews.

Monterosso is a very busy and active town with narrow streets. It is full of hustle and bustle. Missanega is the opposite. It is like a different world nestled in the hills above Monterosso. It was like ying and yang. We loved this place!!!!!!! The food was great!!! The service was great!!! The atmosphere was awesome. They picked us up and drove us up to their place. You can drive on your own if you have a car...it is on the road coming into town.
