Value not there.. very low ceilings and you’re in a box of a room.

Great view

Stayed in September 2023

The room was not where it was pinned on the map on booking.com and the check in was difficult as the property didn’t respond and was not in the office for office hours. They are cash only and will not hold your bags. The room was okay, no air conditioning and no mosquito net or screens so the room was pretty hot, but they did provide a little fan.

the view of the ocean (train station side) and terrace garden was lovely.

The parking in the village is a real problem. Your hotel etc can be very far away from parking. It is very hilly. In your room you can hear very clear what people talk in the other room. The garden needs pruning etc. No WIFI. The tv is a joke.

The room charming. There was a narrow terrass where you can sit in the evening and look out on the Med. The personell was very helpful and arranged a parking.

The property was shared amongst a number of parties. The walls are very thin so was woken a number of times to loud voices and other activities. No rubbish bins to put teabags or food scraps. no bath mat or hairdryer provided. On arrival the lift did not work and the young assistant carried most of the bags up a huge number of stairs. The location is pretty but I had requested something lower down from the top of the hill (which I was told he had) but poor communication and not understanding ended up in my being told off about my expectations.

pretty outlook.

Personally I would have preferred if the front gate locked just as a sole female traveller it would have made me feel safer. Apart from that I really enjoyed my stay and think some of the reviews are a little harsh.

It has an excellent view! You can sit out on the balcony and have a drink overlooking the sea. Some review saying it is a far walk but I disagree. It is some steps and an elevator but if you go to Cinque Terre you are going to expect that! The bedroom was clean and very comfy. The men at reception were very helpful with check in and out.

Electricity didn’t work in various places and the fact that we couldn’t lock the door of the house made us feel unsafe. Also, wouldn’t recommend this property for older people/ people with some kind of physical disability, as it can only be reached after a lot (!!!!) of stairs. (But the view is worth it)

The property had an amazing view and the hosts were really nice.

In our 50 years of extensive worldwide travel, this was by far the worst. “Check in” is a tiny scruffy shop in downtown while the room is up a very steep hill reachable only by foot . The whole town is inaccessible by car so “by foot” is literally by foot. Luggage is out of the question so the only use of this room (broken toilet!) is for under-50 fit climbers who are willing to pay almost 200 Euros for a camping experience complete with a super aggressive grumpy “Receptionist” whose only reaction to complaint is to complain about ungrateful customers. The place should simply be banned from Booking.com. And no, he did not give me a receipt for cash payment, so I can only hope that my credit card is not raided.Pure old world tourist trap horror that should be banned from Booking.com.

many steps to the hotel. WIFI did not work in spite of remindings. The cleaning was not good. Expensive for this kind of room.

Nice location in the village. Great sea view from the balcony.

Stayed in July 2022

Beds v springy and uncomfortable. They seem to have multiple properties, so unclear where you will be and what your room will be like. Bathroom ok.

Location and price were good for us.

Stayed in July 2022

Small room, overpriced, staff was unclear about the exact location and amenities provided for the room until we actually arrived.

Amazing view from the room!

noisy

good location

Stayed in May 2022

the kitchen wasn’t well supplied for tools and utensils. as well there was no wifi and not enough blankets.

location is phenomenal and the staff were very accommodating for our stay. overall, i would definitely stay again

Stayed in November 2021

Should be much cleaner. Should be mentioned about the noise.

The location was excellent in that sence that it was near the railwaystation. Othetwise absolutely bad: nois Late in the evening and early in the morning, a bus stop right in front of the room. Hardly possible to sleep well. The floor of the room and the kitchen utilities were dirty.

Stayed in May 2024

Bathroom door would not close. Check in was quite difficult and was much more complicated than the booking would have you believe. Be prepared to pay cash.

View was nice, but I wouldn't call it worth it.

I get this town is built up, but you have to take the town elevator up to the second level of the town, so it’s very high into the village, this gives a great view, but a steep walk from town and would be difficult to lug your bags around and up to your space. I felt like the map misplaced the unit and misrepresented how far away it was from town. The advertisement on Booking.com shows many different rooms, not the room you are booking so it felt like false advertising. When they walked me to my room at checkin, I felt like I was staying in an old, dilapidated shed. It’s larger than a shed, as it was two rooms with three beds, but I am only 5’4” and you couldn’t be much taller than this to stay here, there was a room with a kitchen, but none of the electricity worked in that room and I had to crawl under an over grown tree to get to my door. The bathroom is also old and barely drains water in the shower: if two people were to shower it would flood the bedroom because the shower isn’t in a tub, it’s just a shower faucet that sprayed direct onto the bathroom floor. Additionally, I woke up all night to rodents running throughout the walls of the unit. There were holes in the walls as well, so I was scared their germs could come through or the rodents themselves could get in. Lastly, I thought the other review’s exaggerated the check in window, but they are very strict on this. I showed up at 8pm, 20:00, because that is when my train arrived without anyone to check me in. This feels very unreasonable and I would find a different company who is willing to accommodate you. The other two bedroom units looked a bit more updated from first glance as I walked by them, so perhaps the one bedroom units are just kept as back up.

From the shared patio, which is not off a private patio, the view is great. Out of the windows of the unit, you look into trees and other building because the one bedroom unit seemed like an afterthought.

Stayed in the private room. The room was very old, dirty, no AC , there were spiders, cobwebs and all sorts of other bugs in the room. The only decent thing was that the room had a fridge and a shower, and the view from the room was incredible.

Great location

A bit of a walk from the station

Spacious and great view

The staff, except the guy doing his summer job there, was not polite starting with the first message. Then the property is like a jungle and it was always a struggle to get to the garden hut, which we got as a room. The hut was not really clean, only half of the electricity in it worked and the ceiling was partially coming off. One reason for that are probably the rodents running in the ceiling right over our heads. As visible, they have also partially made there way through this ceiling.

The view from the upper balcony was good as well as the connecting to the train station.

Stayed in August 2023

The room is not at all maintained atleast in which we stayed. We paid 250 euros for 2 nights but in room except a bed and fridge nothing else is useful. The room was kept unclean, the toilet was common and ok. The fan was there but no air in 30 degree temperature. I would recommend to stay in la spezia 5 mins from rio.

The location of the house is very good. It is completely in nature. The hiking route to visit Manarola or to the top of the hill is just next to it. City centre of Riomaggiore is 10 mins by walk.

Stayed in July 2023

Shower was a bit old and broken, and lots of cobwebs all Over the place. There is no aircon also but a fan is provided.

Location was excellent. Getting to and from is easy as well once you use the lift!

A bit small

Great place very beautiful area and view.

Owner was late. Then had to wait for the baggage man to show us where it was. Owner was very grumpy. Bathroom was not clean at all and the shower is barely usable.

The view

Stayed in June 2023

There were no kitchen facilities- only a tiny kettle an a mini fridge, but no cups or utensils supplied. Bathroom was separated from the room, not an issue but share with other guests. Definitely a great budget option if you want to stay in Cinque Terre.

Staff were nice & helpful, bathroom was cleaned regularly. My room had an incredible view and terrace all to myself.
