This is a great spot however a few tips
You’ll get a code and instructions via What’s App so be sure to check that before you arrive
Do not follow google map from the train station it will take you up about 500 stairs! Just turn right from the tunnel and go up the hill!
Also this is hotel is technically in Manarola not riomaggorie! Beautiful spot and worth the hike to get there!

The property by far has the best views in town. The walk to get there is tougher than you’d think lugging baggage but well worth it. Bathroom and bedroom could use some bleach to get rid of some minor mold but it’s a great place! Host was fantastic.

Amazing views but be prepared for a 600 step hike to get to your room. Unless you have been to the area, your map will route you crazily in finding this spot. I will not return to Cinque Terra.

The most beautiful property! Very clean room with stunning views. I would recommend not bringing luggage though as it was a trek getting it to the room (nothing wrong with that just a heads up for future visitors)!

My husband and I booked the honeymoon suite and were blown away by the incredible views from our private terrace. It was the perfect getaway and wish we stayed more than two nights because it really was so beautiful and relaxing.

The view alone at this property from the balcony is worth the cost! My husband and I stayed in La Spezia and booked one night in Manarola at this property. We took in the breathtaking sunset from the balcony and then watched a lightning storm off in the distance under the stars. A memorable stay for sure!

Wonderful stunning view and very cute apartment.
Great location, comfortable bed, nice hot tub, epic deck.
Could use a refrigerator or ice machine to chill some wine but honestly the view is to die for.

Quite a hike up and down
More strenuous climbing than most cities, but doable for us 74 year olds. Great views from room. Bed and linens are both good.
