3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2013 NEW

The location is great. Because you are in the middle if town you do get the noise from the nearby bars and the train but that is to be expected. The room was definitely older and smaller than we expected. Really I think it came down to expectations. We paid the same nightly rate as we had in Rome and... More

Good evening, and thank for writing this review. You're right: we're not in Rome, we're not in Tuscany, we're in Cinque Terre. Cinque Terre are not comfortable, are not "large", are not cities... you slept in an ancient fisherman house and we know that it could seem "strange" and overrated but this is the true spirit of our territory... i...

The dirtiest hotel I've ever stayed at. I had a pre-payed nonrefundable reservation so I could not cancel my reservation without being charged. The walls as well as the tile in the shower had mold/mildew on them, the tile floor in the bathroom was not clean, the sheets were clean, the blanket was not, something CRUSTY was in the bottom...

First thing it was easy to communicate via email with Isabella. We arrived well after dark and she meet us at the apartment. There are some very steep stairs, but climbing uphill is the way of life in the Cinque Terre so it could have been worst as it was a short climb up the street. Riomaggiore does seem to... More

Cinque Terre in winter are beautiful as always but the services (shops and restaurants) are limited, so i'm glad to read that you enjoyed the little opportunities offered... More

We have booked this apartement on the internet. Was very dissapointed. Worst bed I have ever slept on. Nearly impossible to reach room with luggage. Railway track running about 20 meters from building. Cleaniness of bathroom and small kitchen not what you will expect.

Good morning, We are very surprised to read such a negative opinion and we can not figure out which guest can have such a bad opinion of us. The only customer who recently complained during the stay is "escaped" after the first night, without meeting with us to solve its problems. If this is you, we are very disappointed that... More

We had a fabulous stay in Riomaggiore over the Easter weekend. The staff were very helpful (very prompt email responses) and very friendly. While Riomaggiore is tourist filled during the day, in the evenings it quiet and the apartment was the perfect place to rest weary legs after a long walk.
