Breakfast was basic but all that we needed to start the day.

Nos encantó el lugar, muy lindo, acogedor y limpio, la decoración nos encantó, de toda Italia fue el mejor sitio donde nos hospedamos. La Señora Alessandra y William fueron muy simpáticos y amables. Para el desayuno nos dejaron lo suficiente para quedar satisfechos. La ubicación muy fácil de encontrar.

We LOVED everything about this property. From the time we arrived Alessandra was wonderful. Our room was so beautiful. Large, clean and comfy. Our breaky for the next day was already in our kitchen and was plenty. Alessandra went above and beyond. The first night the rains arrived a lot and ever restaurant closed early. We hadn't eaten and when we arrived back at the accommodation, she came down to us and asked if she could make us dinner. She's so kind. I'd highly recommend this property to stay at. It's in a great location too. Amazing.

There was absolutely nothing that we didn't like about this property.

William and Alessandra were the most gracious hosts for our one-night stay in Riomaggiore in Cinque Terre. This was a 25th birthday trip for my twin daughters. Property was a little bit of a walk but everything is there. The elevator from the train station up to the main path was out of order, so if that is working it makes the walk easier. William messaged to let us know of this before we arrived and offered someone to help with bags if needed. The room was immaculate, had AC, and a kitchenette. They left all the goodies so you can have a quick breakfast before your day of fun. And since we had the Nessun Dorma Pesto Experience booked (highly recommend!) for the day we were leaving, Alessandra was nice to hold our bags after checkout.

Nothing we did not like

The room was spacious and clean. Very easily accessible from the train via a lift near the station. Both William and Alessandra were really lovely and accomodating! This was by far our best stay in Italy.

Staff, location and clean rooms

Alessandra and William were amazing hosts. They were friendly and extremely helpful. You can't enter Riomaggiore by car, so they helped us find a parking space in the mountain and then gave us a ride back to the village. Same when we left, William gave us a ride back to our car after dinner. They also let us use their beach towels during the entire day after we had already checked out. The room was very spacious, we pretty much had an entire apartment for ourselves, with 2 beds, a bathroom and a fully equipped kitchen. The location was perfect, just 3 minutes from the main street, and conveniently near 2 elevators which allow you to go either to the parking lot in the top, or the train station in the bottom. They are also very fond of cats, and they have a guests cat book, which you can contribute to.

This place is truly a hidden gem. Alessandra and William are the sweetest of people and truly do what they can to make your stay comfortable. There is an outer gate to the property right at the street that is always locked. The bedroom was really good sized; big enough for a double bed and a futon. The kitchen/outer area also a decent size. The bathroom is very small, but so is practically everything in this wonderful little town. This is not a hotel chain where you find bottles of water that cost $5 to open, but instead your included breakfast is so much stuff from bread to cookies to even cheeses in the fridge. There is what I would refer to as a full-sized dorm room kitchen. Sink with microwave, hotplate, pots and pans, tea kettle, small fridge, etc. There is a pulley out back if you want to dry your bath towel quickly, just be aware the wind can pick up and blow things around a bit, so pin stuff down.

Everything that would answer this question would be general stuff about the area or the town and simply be extremely minor complaints about things being different than you may be used to. In general, Europe does not do ice and even the cold drinks you find at shop in the fridge, tended to be cool in my estimation rather than cold. This is also a "siesta" town, so do not expect to get up at 6am and find breakfast options (this is why it is offered in your room). Buy some eggs and cook them in your room, eat the cereal and OJ provided, and get your photo taking in early while few people are up and about. The town tends to start opening doors at 11am, often closes for an hour or so in the afternoon, and then is open until 10 or 11pm. Again, extremely minor things that are simply different than I am used to.
