Lovely accommodations and stunning views from the property. We suggest you use the local porter for baggage if you have large bags. Also, it can be a challenging location for anyone not prepared for steep stairways. Highly recommended location for a group of 4.

This property is wonderful & the communication with the owner was awesome!! The views are awesome!! Overall recommendation is YES!!

Right when we walked into the apartment, we knew this place was special. The views out of the bedroom windows were stunning! We were traveling as two couples and we had our privacy. The outdoor seating was fabulous. Yes there are stairs, but all of the apartments will have them. Claudio was very responsive. You will love staying here.

We had an incredible time in Cinque Terre!!!! The apartment was beautifully decorated and had an amazing view overlooking Riomaggiore and the sea. The host was very accommodating and great at communicating. I highly recommend a boat tour to get a view of Cinque Terre from the water. I would love to return and try out the walking trails between the villages.

Everything one would want: comfortable, clean, quiet and well situated to the cinque terra trails, train and town center. Wonderful host who takes pride in the property.

Absolutely beautiful and spacious unit with private balcony. The views from the unit are amazing.

Great apartment with fabulous view.

This property is absolutely beautiful. Impeccably clean, fully renovated with all modern luxuries. The view is exquisite. Claudio and Roberta were wonderful in communication. We arrived early and they gladly stored our luggage until the apartment was available.

wonderful home, great ocean views, quiet, clean, beautiful sunset views. Many steps to arrive, only downfall. Would highly recommend

We loved our stay in Riomaggiore at this property! Everything was nicely decorated and in perfect condition! The view from the large bedroom windows was spectacular. We spent a lot of time sitting, taking photos. and just enjoying the view! Roberta and Claudio were very helpful! Would love to rent this apartment again!

Fabulous place! View unparalleled. Rooms were updated and spotlessly clean. Great bathrooms. Claudio was the perfect host at checkin. Yes, many stairs. Typical for the town. Read the reviews about them and pack appropriately. We are in our 60’s and managed them just fine taking our time. Highly recommend the apartment. (we had both bedrooms and bathrooms)

First the good. The apartment really is lovely- beautifully decorated and clean. The view out of the front windows is absolutely spectacular! The back patio is great as well and the perfect place to hang out on a nice day. Now the middle- more for information purposes and did not impact the rating we gave the stay. It is really more like two separate hotel rooms with a kitchen in between. For that reason there isn’t really any place to “hang out” except the kitchen table or two chairs in one room and one in the other. This isn’t a deal breaker but definitely would have posed a problem if we had spent any more time in the apartment than we did. It is also a TREK with suitcases from the parking area. This is something that we were warned about so not a surprise but I would highly recommend taking them up on the luggage service if you have any doubts about your ability to carry your luggage. We are a very active family and we each had one carryon and one backpack and it was a total workout getting to and from the apartment. Now the not so good. We found the whole experience very impersonal. We have stayed at numerous VRBOs and one of the reasons we choose them is to get a bit more local attention and information. From our very first communication with Claudio we all felt more like we were an imposition than anything else. It felt vey much like a business deal rather than something he actually enjoyed doing. It just kind of left a bad taste in our mouth and made us feel a bit off. If we were to visit Riomaggiore again we would probably look for another apartment to stay in.

Wonderful. Highly recommended!

The apartment was wonderful. The picture of the outside table is what sold us on it, and as it turns out, it's the least important! The views from inside are gorgeous and with the windows open, the ocean breeze comes in. Getting from the train station to the apartment is a short walk, but has many, very steep stairs. We were lucky to be able to get a porter at the station to help with the luggage. If you have more than carry on luggage, you might want to make arrangements for this in advance.

If you drive there is no parking . I wish they would have let us know that we wold have taken a train. There is no privacy in the back bedroom people can walk by and look right into the bedroom

Easy check in with Claudio. The two bedrooms were a great size and well appointed kitchen. Lovely view.

Claudio met us at the trains and walked us over-a brief walk- and we were exploring in no time. The place was very clean, had all we needed and was well situated. Well ventilated despite the intense heat. We were never hot.

The Riomaggiore apartment was in a fantastic location, only 10 minutes or so and 80 stairs (we counted) from the train station. The kind owner met us and walked us all the way up so it was easy to find. While one of the smaller towns, we found Riomaggiore very charming there and had access to everything we needed. The beds were comfy and we had plenty of room for a family of 4. The only downside was that there was no air conditioning and it was hot in the apartment...plus we couldn't leave the windows open because there were mosquitoes. The kitchen was pretty simple; we didn't try to cook in but there was a wine opener :)

You have to climb climb climb to get there and if you’re a heavy packer, that would be a Challenge but Breathtaking views await you in a very large apartment. Riomaggiore is one of the quieter towns in Cinque Terre but we prefer that. The apartment is rustic and beachy. Great to sip wine, eat cured fish, olives, fruit, cheese on the kitchen table overlooking the sea with sea breeze. Didn’t want to leave!

We loved everything about our stay at this property. The views are absolutely breathtaking. The house was in great shape. Beautiful kitchen, big bedrooms and a lovely side patio. The place was clean and had everything you would need for your stay. Plus it is a great home base to explore not only Riomaggiore but all the other towns of Cinque Terre. It’s just a short walk from the train station or trails. The owner was easy to work with and met us at the train station when we arrived to take us to the property. He was also gracious enough to keep our bags on the last day since we had a later departure so that we could relax and explore the town without dragging our luggage around. You’ll enjoy everything about the property. The only thing I would note, which other reviewer‘s have noted is that there are many stairs to get to it and that there isn’t a traditional living room space with couches and chairs. Neither thing should discourage you from renting this. There are many stairs everywhere in Cinque terra. You’re unlikely to find a property without them, and the beautiful view makes it worth it .

We stayed for 4 days 3 nights and couldn’t have been happier. The home was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped and quite large. The views were wonderful and the owner was available when we arrived by train to welcome us and get us to the home. We were a family of 4 traveling with luggage so we were hesitant about the steps to the home but they didn’t bother us at all.

Outstanding location with fantastic views! Could not have been better!

It was a wonderful view. Exactly what we hoped for. Close to everything as we read on all the reviews. Just the hot water went off and on. Otherwise, excellent.

Great quiet apartment, with a post card perfect view of the town and ocean, and easy walk to Main Street of town. Owner is warm and helpful. Would stay here again. The hiking is fantastic in this area, bring comfortable hiking shoes and enjoy great views from the trails!

Wonderful town, good location of the unit, but beware, many steps up to the unit. Could use a nice couch for resting. Wonderful views and located close to activity center, easy access to trains. Friendly and helpful people.

The apartment faces the ocean and it has the best views of the ocean and a magnificent view of the sunset! It is spacious and the terrace is nice to have as well. The only downside is the amount of steep stairs you have to walk up to get to the apartment. As long as you don't bring a lot of luggage like we did, then it shouldn't be an issue at all. Definitely worth it, just for the view alone! Claudio was very nice, met us right at the train station and lives close by if you need anything!
