Great location just outside the busy main area of Riomaggiore. Comfortable outside area city lovely views of the town and the Mediterranean Sea. Nice and quiet at night. Great taverna and restaurants just a little walk up the road near the church.

We loved Manuel’s apartment! Very clean and great location. Manuel was an excellent host and gave great recommendations. Highly recommend.

Amazing location, the flat was beautiful. Would 100% stay again (for longer next time!)

Nothing!

The interior of the apartment was fine.

The location is the major reason I am giving the apartment such a poor rating. Unless you are in your 20s and enjoy climbing mountains you will find the location an ordeal. The difficulty in getting to both the path upon which the house was located, and the exact apartment was entirely understated. We had never been to riomaggiore and one reason we chose this town was the availability of elevators. In addition, I used Google maps and the Google man to preview the walk from the train station, investigated the maintenance status of the public elevator, and we were aware of the availability of a luggage delivery man (who we used). However, two days before our visit we were informed by the apt manager that the elevator was out of service. When we contacted the luggage man we found the cost would be 15 euros per bag (we had 3) for the arrival (more sets of stairs at the train station), and 10 euros per bag on our departure. Thus we spent at extra 70 euros we had not anticipated. Once on the path, at the apartment's building we were forced to walk up and then down quite a number of flights of uneven stone steps. This was required every time we left the apt. Getting into downtown was a great exertion that resulted in us skipping dinner one night. There are no convenience stores at all on the side of the mountain, for us to even get a qt of milk. The physical demands of Riomaggiore, the building, and the apartment cannot be understated. Mosquitos prevented us from enjoying the terrace. In addition, the wifi instructions and password was obsolete resulting in several hours of trying to reach the manager and then getting it fixed. We should have stayed in the village center near the port.
