The perfect place and host for a first stay in Cinque Terre. Great location, stunning views, house was well stocked. Pam was outstanding, very helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed Rio Maggiore.

Lovely stay! Spacious home, great kitchen, very large master bedroom! Great views and a nice outdoor space! Very helpful to have washer/dryer! And the owner is on-site and available should you need guidance. Located at the top of Riomaggiore with beautiful views!

Everything about our experience was exceptional! Fantastic location Out of the fray of the busy village. Fabulous views, very roomy, lovely hostess! 5 stars all the way!

Pamela was very helpful and quick to respond to questions. I would love to go back again!!

Perfect for a private and relaxed stay in the Cinque Terre. It’s steep getting to and from the property, but that’s to be expected in Riomaggiore, and clearly indicated in the information. Having space in the garden to enjoy morning coffee or wine/limoncello was especially delightful. Pamela was very easy to work with!

Property is in a great location to experience the views of the town and sea. Getting to downtown or the train is easy, if not don’t mind the uphill climb when returning home. Pamala does a great job making sure the property is in great shape and she welcomed us with a couple of nice surprises in the frig. The only downside of our visit was we had to leave. I highly recommend this property for its location, amenities and service. We hope to visit again soon.

The property was wonderful! Pamela was really helpful! We had a great experience. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at Pamela's home in Riomaggiore. She was very responsive from the start, and also helped us arrange private parking nearby which was a huge relief. She provided such helpful information and recommendations as well. Riomaggiore was so lovely - be sure to check out the fantastic wine bar Cantina Ghemé!

We loved our stay here. The views are fantastic and unlike most of the places to stay in Riomaggiore, this place is it's own house with a yard and fantastic views. Pretty much everything else we saw was an apartment and not as likely to have the views that you have here. Pamela the owner was great! She was very responsive and met us at the train station on check in day. The house was very comfortable and well appointed which came in handy on a rainy day when most of the businesses were closed. We were able to cook for ourselves in the kitchen with stuff we purchased the day before thanks to Pamela's heads up about the incoming weather and it shutting down most of the stores that next day.

Pam helped make our vacation special. Wonderful place to stay

This property is terrific! A great location with a beautiful view.

This property is even more stunning than the online photos. The view is breathtaking and the home is much bigger than we had expected. We were able to enjoy wonderful family time together in this lovely location. It is very quiet and serene and has great amenities. We would definitely come back. Pamela was extremely helpful and provided valuable information to help us enjoy our time in Riomaggiore. A real gem.

Pam's home in Riomaggiore couldn't have been better, would highly recommend. Pam was a wonderful host, a great communicator, and when she couldn't meet us, she made us feel right at home with her local assistant Simone. She even left us a bottle of wine and sparkling water in the refrigerator. The home was spotless. The views were amazing. She left out chairs in the outdoor areas for us. Beach towels. She thought of everything. The house is high up a steep incline, but for the views, totally worth the climb. If climbing is not easy, you might want to take advantage of the luggage service which Pam will give you the information within her very handy package after booking. This is a wonderful family home to enjoy paradise.

We had an amazing experience in Cinque Terre. We booked this house through VRBO and the communication was great with the owner. We really enjoyed the location of the house and it was well stocked with everything we needed. Thank you for all of the information you provided us prior to the trip. Thank you also for your advice on how to get to your property and helping us book the local taxi driver. It was seamless. Simone was very helpful with the check in and check out!

There is no doubt I would recommend this home to others for a perfect base to enjoy and explore Cinque Terre. If you’re into fantastic views, an incredibly well laid-out and appointed home, fantastic location above the Summer crowds and noise, then Pamela’s breathtaking Riomaggiore home and gardens are absolutely for you. Her personal care and attention to our booking, meeting us upon our arrival and offering her helpful tips on how to best access Cinque Terre and each of the five beautiful towns were so welcomed and so informative. Her home is bright, spacious and oh so comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked and really well laid out. It’s a bit of a trek up from the train station, but so worth it. You will rise above the Summer tourist crowds and their noise, to relax on outdoor lounge chairs or sleep in comfy beds. We fully enjoyed the beautiful and expansive views of the Ligurian Sea from the great grass patio. I wished we could have stayed longer to further enjoy Pamela’s beautiful home and hospitality. We will be back soon!!!

This was one of the best places we stayed during our two weeks and 5 cities in Italy. It was exactly as advertised, with a fabulous view and inside the town of Riomaggiore, which is hard to find during June when we stayed. Our host Pamela was prompt to reply to all of our correspondences, met us at the train station as planned and guided us up to her beautiful house. She had left wine, water, coffee, tea, snacks, pasta, and many more essentials for us in the house so we didn’t have to rush out right away. And she brought us fresh apricots from one of her trees on our first night for us to enjoy - they were delicious and she was delightful. Truly a magical place. I would return in a heartbeat.

Pam’s home in Riomaggiore is the perfect place for enjoying Cinque Terre. The home is situated near the top of the town, which provides a calm escape from the crowds down below. Plus the view is simply spectacular. The home itself is wonderful, with an open floor plan that allows the house to be filled with light and views of the sea. The kitchen is functional and well-stocked, with a large refrigerator, gas stove, oven, toaster oven, coffee maker, and in-sink water filter, plus all the cooking and dining gear you could ever hope for. The bathroom is large and bright, with a good washer and dryer, a large bath/shower, and endless hot water. With five of us, we never ran out of hot water. The bedrooms are large and comfortable. And the outdoor space is beyond description, with a great outdoor dining patio off the kitchen and a large level lawn with reclining chairs where we would drink wine and soak in the views of the Ligurian Sea and the town below you. Without question this was the most relaxing and enjoyable place we stayed during our two week Italian vacation. And Pam was a wonderful host, providing useful local knowledge, attention to detail in her communication, and gracious extras like guiding us to the house and welcoming us with a bottle of local wine. This was a 5 star vacation rental experience.

Unfortunately we were unable to stay here due to the devastating storms that recently hit the Cinque Terra. Pamela let us know immediately, and very kindly cancelled our reservation. Her communication and concern are why we are giving 5 stars, I can only imagine how her attention to detail applies to her property. Hopefully we will be able to go back some day.

Pamela's home in Cinque Terre was one of the best parts of our trip. It is a climb to get to, but so is everything in Riomaggiore! To have your own little yard, and also a courtyard in the back - shaded, with a little table, just off the kitchen to have meals or peace and quiet was really amazing. The whole place was very well appointed, we had everything we needed. Great bedrooms and baths, very comfortable. Pamela was so nice and very helpful if we had any questions. We had an amazing time.

Be prepared to walk lots of steps! It is worth it.. if you love great sunsets and views of the water. The restaurants were great and we enjoyed hiking. It was awesome when Pam arranged a taxi to our car rental place. Book it and enjoy!

I don't know where to begin... the view is truly amazing! The house is perfect, quite large, fully stocked kitchen (with Champagne too! thank you Pam!!), dining room table, washer dryer, beds were quite comfy, even a blow dryer and iron! and the outside spaces - table and lawn chairs - were perfect! Pam was wonderful! Quite helpful, so sweet and has all the local info you could need. We enjoyed our chats with her very much. We highly recommend!! (p.s. if you have a lot of luggage take a cab from La Spezia, they can bring you right in and miss 90% of the stairs in the town - only $35 US.

What a magical experience. Everything is as Pamela describes, if not better. A charming, spacious and comfortable home, a beautiful garden, spectacular views of the sea during the day and the sky at night, a bustling, colorful village, and much more. Pamela’s recommendations for hikes, boat tours and restaurants are spot on. Our family will definitely come again. In fact, we cannot wait.

Better than the pictures show the views are amazing and some lovely places to eat in the town. Pamela was a wonderful hostess and responded quickly to any queries we had.

Our stay at this property was wonderful. The house is fully equipped, modern, extremely clean and the view is remarkable. We enjoyed Riomaggiore once we learned the shortcuts and our way around the town. It was a relaxing stay in between the busier parts of our trip. Paula was very good to work with. This without a doubt is the nicest property we have stayed at. The only caution is it is a climb to get to the house. For our family, it was well worth it for the views and quality of stay.

This rental is spectacular. The photos don't even do it justice. It is peaceful yet close to the action. You feel like you are living in a neighborhood rather than visiting as a tourist; in a highly touristy area, this is rare. The views from every window, out the front door, and in the lovely garden are breathtaking. Our family of two parents and three college aged children could not have asked for more.

The views, the amenities, the location, the ease of living here- all combined to make this the perfect place to stay for a trip to the Cinqueterra. My family of five was very comfortable - separate beds for everyone, great outdoor space, a generously appointed kitchen, laundry, and everything was clean and comfortable. We loved Riomaggiore. The people are very friendly and the town and views are beautiful. It’s really easy to get to the other towns by train and there’s great hiking from your backyard. There are a lot of stairs between you and your morning pastry, but that just makes it all the sweeter. We will definitely be returning.

We had a wonderful time here, using this as a base to explore the Cinque Terre area. The house is lovely with amazing views of the water. A great place to relax after a day of sight seeing. There is a lot of stair climbing to and from the town or train station, but it’s worth it!
