Small but very well-kept and clean accommodation with all services and comforts. Located on the main street of the village, an excellent base for visiting the Cinque Terre and the surrounding area. The owners are very kind and helpful. I recommend it and would return.

We were welcomed by Marco, a very nice person. Cozy apartment, great for couples but also adaptable for 4 people. The apartment has everything you need and is well maintained. Undoubtedly a great base for visiting the Cinque Terre, which are already frequented by a good number of tourists at this time. If we return to these beautiful places, we will try to stay with Marco and Giò again!

I stayed with my wife and my seven-year-old daughter during the New Year's period for five days. The apartment is very clean and equipped with every comfort, it only lacks a small television. The owners are very kind and helpful. The location is suitable for excursions by train because the station is easily reachable on foot or by elevator (when it works), but it is not the fault of the managers. Recommended.

The answer from the host:
Buongiorno, vi ringraziamo della vostra gentilissima recensione. La mancanza della televisione è una scelta dovuta alla tassazione troppo alta. Cordiali saluti Marco e Giò.

The accommodation is clean, in a great location compared to the center of Riomaggiore, the train to the Cinque Terre. We found a lot of willingness on the part of the managers, ready to give advice for a better stay. As already mentioned to Mrs. Gio, it is desirable that a WiFi zone is also activated there, now essential for information, communications, etc... We will definitely come back.

We had a great time, excellent location, 3 minutes walk from the sea and the train station. The managers Marco and Giò are very kind and helpful, they let us use the apartment and parking space for the entire check-out day as they had no other bookings for the same day.

Small but functional apartment, fairly central location, only 1 flight of stairs to reach it (great compared to many that are on the third or fourth floor). It's a pity that the owner does not live nearby, but in La Spezia, so he made us understand that if there were no serious problems, it was better not to disturb him given the distance and that he would also be out for a few days. However, Mr. Marco was kind and willing to pick us up at La Spezia station and offer to drive us with his car (we refused because we have a car sickness), but I recommend others to accept as carrying luggage from the station to the apartment requires a bit of walking and the last part is quite steep.

The apartment is comfortable, very close to shops, and in a very convenient location to reach the sea and the train station: just walk along the main street of the town (no stairs!). The manager Marco is courteous and correct. He offers, for a fee, a private parking. I stayed there for 4 days and I had a great time, I would recommend it to a friend.
