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

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

This is not communicated on booking.com The towels were replaced only on the last night of our 4-night stay and we run out of toilet paper. We... 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. The apartment is close to the station (no long... More
