Very nice and well equipped appartment on a great location. The host was easy to reach and very informative during our stay. Warm recommendation.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was easy to get to with minimal stairs from the train station. It was really nice having the patio with a view of the sea. The place has a wonderful aesthetic that really suits the property. There are tight stairs up to the bedroom level so we opted to leave our luggage in the front room. Wasn't an issue for us. The washroom is also down stairs. So if you have to get up in the middle of the night there are quite a few steps (2 lvls). The trade off is it is a very large bathroom/shower which was nice to have.

Highlight of our trip to Italy was this gem of an apartment. Recently renovated, stylishly decorated, balcony with view of the water and town. Sara, our host went way out of her way with all the extras with a video to find our way from the train station, dinner reservations nearby the first night, homemade wine and snacks to enjoy, wow!! Riomaggiore is the most beautiful and accessible of the 5 cities and is full of super nice people, great restaurants, shopping and beautiful hikes. We will surely return and highly recommend this location!! My only caution is for those with mobility needs - there’s a lot of steep stairs inside the apartment and outside all over Riomaggiore and all five Cinque Terre cities. I could not have taken my mother for example, though the elderly ladies who live here surely are in amazing shape.

Sara's place was absolutely beautiful. Riomaggiore is as lovely in person as it is in the pictures. Sara's place was clean and comfortable and she was very responsive to messages and made us feel very welcome. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at her place again.

This property is very nice. It has everything you can possibly need. It is very clean and the location is great and Sara is so helpful. I would absolutely recommend it.

Beautiful location and nice interior. Lots of stairs, bathroom on the bottom floor and bedroom on the top. Very clean and bright. Host is kind and helpful. Wonderful totem and nice to stay after the tourist leave.

Sara’s home is perfect. It is elegant, and chic and cozy. Well equipped with tasteful housewares and appliances. I am a designer, and will forever dream about those ocean waves tiles in the living room/dining room, that lead you out to the balcony that looks out to the sea. Sara had wine (from her family’s vineyard), and snacks waiting for us. Roberto (the Sherpa of Riomaggiore) met us at the train, handled all of our bags and showed around the house. He was amazing. The house is easy to get to, but for the trip in, I highly recommend the very small fee to have Roberto handle your bags. There is some climbing up and down from the train. When you leave, it much easier to get to the train. I went with two girlfriends (we grew up together), and our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. #magical

First of all I think some might be turned off by the amount of steps in the unit. It is set up where you walk in to the entry door and can go down a flight to the bathroom, or up a flight to main level. Then a flight of spiral stairs to the bedrooms. To that I say, just give it a chance because you are in the Cinque Terre where you are never really on flat ground so you will be used to many hills and stairs no matter where you go. I say it is part of the charm. Other than that I say this VRBO not only meets all expectations but far exceeds them. It was imacculately clean. The decor is even better than the pictures, and the patio that overlooks the marina is spectacular. You really feel like you are part of the community sitting out there with a nice bottle of wine or a meal. Watching the sunset was perfect. There was a nice VERY good bottle of wine and some snacks waiting for us on check-in. Getting to the VRBO was interesting in a good way. Roberto sent us videos of him walking from the train all the way to the front door which was VERY helpful. The cool part about walking there is you walk from the train through a tunnel, then up a slight hill through a walkway between resturaunts outdoor seating, then through a schoolyard/courtyard that overlooks the sea on one side and the city streets on the other. Both provide built-in photo ops! All in all perfect far too short of a stay! Will be back!
