1) if you can, get the room with terrace / balcony. The view is really nice.
2) Walk a couple of steps to cafes, restaurants and local grocery shops and even key sites in Riomaggiore, because it's small. 5 to 15 minutes typically.
3) Host was very helpful, balancing attention and privacy.
4) Quiet and comfortable bed.
Note there are 2 ways to get to the accommodation from the train station. One with stairs (Riomaggiore is after all on hills), another up slope but no stairs. We chose the second as we had heavier luggages and it was manageable.
we stayed two nights and had a great stay loved the little balcony .staff very helpful and parking structure is not far away .would recommend to anyone
A great find on the Cinque Terre. A very convenient location (the whole area is hills and stairs so no way around that) in what I feel was the less touristy of the 5 towns; you could actually walk around without bumping into people. Room was great although pretty barebones. Receptionist at front desk was very helpful, but will say itâs not a standard hotel so we saw her at Checkin and then never saw anyone else in lobby or anywhere for the three days we were there, ie no one working the desk, which added to the peace and quiet.
This little place was built deal. We had a view of the entire village and the sea. The clock tower was charming, with its bell chiming on the hour and half hour (starts at 6:00am - ends late in the eve). The accommodations were clean and comfortable. Best bed Iâve had in Italy so far.
