CINQU TERRE In the hearth the village a fine apartment with terraces in the sun

This is a nice,semi-detached, recently restored apartment, located in the heart of the village.
The building follows the slope of the hill, so on one side it’s on the ground-floor, with a small garden, while, on the other side, it’s on the fifth floor, with two wide terraces overlooking the village and the sea, equipped with dining furniture and sun beds.
Just downstairs you can find the main street of the village with shops, restaurants, bars, chemist shop etc.
You can completely forget your car , since in a very short distance you can find anything you need: the sea at 300 meters, the cliffside trials at 10 meters, the railway station at 300 meters, the boats docking at the same distance.
Within a walking distance of 350 meters you have a garage, into the village parking, included with the apartment.

Vacanza a Riomaggiore - La casa perfetta

La casa è situata in ottima posizione a Riomaggiore, vicinissima alla stazione ferroviaria. Accoglienza all'arrivo da parte del proprietario perfetta; ci ha fornito moltissime informazioni sul luogo, sui sentieri e sui restanti paesi limitrofi. Punti di forza della casa: BOX privato e meravigliosa terrazza con ottimo panorama attrezzata per mangiar fuori e per il relax (lettini prendisole molto confortevoli). Cucina attrezzata e dotata di generi di prima necessità (Olio, caffe, sale, acqua, detersivo, ecc) . Consiglio questa abitazione per una vacanza a Riomaggiore

Wunderschöne Wohnung mit genialer Aussicht

Der nette Vermieter hat uns am Ortseingang empfangen und die Garage gezeigt. Danach sind wir ins Haus eingezogen. 66 Stufen von unten bis zur Wohnung ;-). aber aus unserem oberen Ausgang weniger ;-) ! Direkt im Ort fast am Hafen, wunderschöne etwas ältere Wohnung mit riesiger Dachterrasse ! Komme gerne wieder !

Ottima location!

Siamo stati a Riomaggiore 3 notti durante il ponte del primo Maggio 2018. L’appartamento è perfetto per una famiglia di 4 persone con bimbi non piccolissimi in quanto si trova al quarto piano e gli scalini sono parecchi. La posizione è ottima, centrale e comoda ai servizi e alla stazione. Appartamento pulito, con cucina, 2 camere 2 bagni e un fantastico terrazzo con vista mare. Il garage è stata la cigliegina sulla torta! I proprietari gentili e disponibili. Lo consigliamo.

Great location, small for 4 persons

The house is a great pick in Riomaggiore. It is close to the marina and right on the main street. You have a great roof terrace where you can eat and sunbathe (also a small other roof terrace, but we had no use for it). There is a tiny back yard (not well kept though, used mostly for garbage bins), but the kids had some space to play. The apartment consists of one bed room, one living room/second bedroom, two bathrooms, one tiny space for storage (like a hall) by one bathroom and a small kitchen, plus 4 staircases (up to the first floor from the entrance door - up to the second floor - up to the big roof terrace - up to the small roof terrace). :-) It is clean and even the bed sofa is comfy. We got extra shower towels and separate beach towels, which was highly appreciated. You can wash laundry in a laundromat on the main street (4 € wash + 4 € tumble dry, takes about 80 minutes in all). You can buy washing powder (1€) or bring your own. If you use 4 beds you have no sitting room (since the bed sofa is in the living room), which can be a problem if the weather is bad. Also the kitchen is tiny and if you are 4 persons around the table there is no room to walk around it. If you eat on the terrace this is no problem. The kitchen is pretty well equipped, except for wine glasses and serial bowls. There is eg. a Italian coffee brewer (used on the gas stove), electrical coffee machine, microwave oven, tee kettle and toaster. I don't think you need to worry about the number of stairs. Our 4 year old did not complain, and after all if you come to Cinque Terre you are probably prepared to clime a bit. All in all this is a great home base for exploring 5 terre. However, with kids I'd rather recommend Monterosso with a sand beach, promenade and playgrounds. There is a playground also in Riomaggiore on the hill. You reach it by first crossing the main street from the apartment, then take the upper hillside road towards the marina: great views! In Riomaggiore you can swim from the cliffs in the marina (even kids can manage it), the wave breaker, or at the "beach" past the boat dock with huge rocks (hard to walk on). In Manarola you also swim from the rocks in the marina. Vernazza has a small sand beach in its marina and a small beach facing the railroad towards Manarola, but we never went there (could be a rock beach). PS! There is a great wine bar on the road reached through the back door of the apartment: FUORI ROTTA

Fantastic location

We stayed at the apartment for 4 nights before we had to unexpectedly return to the UK. The apartment has all you need and was sufficiently large for us. One of the 2 terraces is huge and we enjoyed breakfast outside in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening watching the never ending flow of tourists beneath. Don't expect a lot of charm - but you'll spend most of your time outside anyway as there is plenty to see. Gianfranco, the landlord, has been great. I had a little problem with my second payment and he helped me sort the issue. The garage is very useful so that you don't have to worry about parking fees.

Sehr italienisch :-))

Meine Frau und ich waren Ende August 2017 für 14 Tage in dem Apartment und wir hatten ein unglaublich tolle Zeit. Das Apartment ist wunderschön und der Vermieter sehr freundlich und bemüht. Alles Tipp Top, es gibt nicht den geringsten Anlass zur Klage. Insbesondere die vordere Terrasse ist ein magischer Ort mit Blick auf den Ort und auf das Meer. Es gibt sehr sehr viele Treppen: ca. 60 Stufen zum Wohnungseingang und nochmal ca. 20 zur vorderen Terrasse. Das ist aber in 5T normal. Hier ist alles steil und voller Treppen. Aber jede Treppe ist ein Unikat und ein Kunstwerk ;-) und fast jede Treppe für zu einem phantastischen Ort. Dennoch, nichts für Leute mit Knieproblemen. 5T im Allgemeinen und das Apartment im besonderen sind uneingeschränkt (außer Knie) zu empfehlen.

Влюбились в Риомаджоре!

Мы уже несколько раз проездом бывали в Риомаджоре, но даже не предполагали, насколько прекрасно здесь остановиться на подольше. Влюбились в эту деревушку! Размещение тоже было отличным! Очень душевный, уютный апарт на центральной улице. Высокий этаж, поэтому совершенно не слышно шума внизу. Комнаты на разных этажах с индивидуальными санузлами и душем, что очень удобно для 4 гостей. На кухне все необходимое для готовки. Большая терраса. Есть пляжные зонты, что нам было очень актуально. Все очень понравилось! Надеемся вернуться ещё. Огромное спасибо Джанфранко и его семье!

Fantastiskt hus med bästa läge i Riomaggiore. Mycket trappor, men takterrassen uppväger detta.

Gianfranco är en mycket hjälpsam värd, som det kändes tryggt att hyra av. Läget kan inte vara bättre. Ta trapporna ned och du kommer ut på huvudgatan med alla butiker du behöver, bageri, Coop m.fl. Ta till vänster så kommer du ner till hamnen och därefter den allmänna stranden. Ett hett tips är att ta med badskor. Det är stenigt! Ta till höger och du kommer till tågstationen, varifrån du kan åka till övriga byar och Levanto. Om du istället går ut på ovansidan av huset och tar till vänster, kommer du ut på en panoramagångväg. Fantastiskt att gå där och titta på solnedgången. Vandringarna uppe i bergen är ganska krävande, men helt klart värda besväret. Så vackra utsikter! Vi gillade också att snorkla i det kristallklara vattnet. Mycket fiskar att titta på. Rekommenderar verkligen det här boendet. Att sitta på takterrassen, dricka vin och njuta av utsikten över havet... Vi kommer att åka tillbaka!

Great apartment, location, and hosts

This apartment is a hidden gem in Riomaggiore that's perfect for long stays. It's only a five-minute walk from the train station and from the hiking trails, and it's located on the main road in Riomaggiore, so the restaurants, grocery stores, laundromat, ATMs, tourist office, and boutiques are easily accessible. There's even a nice stone beach to the left of the harbour. The apartment is divided onto several floors (we found the layout confusing at first but then got used to it) and has two bathrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen, a bedroom, a living room/bedroom, two terraces, and access to lower and upper streets of the city from the front and back doors. The view from the main terrace is stunning. The kitchen and bathrooms were well renovated and came with towels and a hair drier. The mattresses were a bit hard, but that seems to be a standard in Italy. We were given two sets of keys to come and go as we pleased, and we had wi-fi access. There is a tremendous amount of steps to reach the apartment (over 60) and a bit of an incline on the road leading up to the building, but our hosts were kind enough to help us bring our heavy luggage upstairs. They were also very helpful throughout our stay whenever we had questions. My suggestion: pack light, and bring a raincoat and hiking shoes! The nightly rate for this apartment was just as affordable as places in La Spezia or Levanto but with a better location. Riomaggiore is a great base from which to visit the Cinque Terre because the restaurants stay open late, the town's not too crowded compared to Vernazza or Monterosso al Mare, and there's more to do than in Corniglia or Manarola. I highly recommend this apartment.

Rosa's place

Awesome stay! Exactly what we were looking for. Host/owner was prompt communicating pre trip and everything was as promised. The place has a great location, great views convenient to groceries, just a few doors away or into the city by train for five minutes, for bigger shopping triip. Convienient to hiking trails galore. Everything needed and then some, for our month in riomaggiore. Would highly recommend! Lots of steps up to the apt., but ate lots of pasta and needed the exercise.

"Wonderful stay in Riomaggiore"

"We (a couple) had a truly wonderful stay at this great authentic apartment with its large, open balcony overlooking the village, hills and sea. The owners were very friendly and welcoming and met us at the station to assist us with our bags. They also gave us a bottle of their home grown local wine for our first evening and washed our clothes at their own apartment below us. The apartment is well equipped and comfortable.It is in the centre of the village and close to everything. Like elsewhere in Cinque Terra you need to be relatively fit because there are lots of stairs and steps to climb and that''s half the fun. We would not hesitate to recommend this apartment in this beautiful village. "

"Such a fantastic stay! We had an amazing time and and a lot of that had to do with this amazing apartment. The views are stunning and you have easy access to the whole town. The kitchen is well equipped and the apartment has anything you will need. The beach in Riomaggiore was a lot of fun... it is a stone beach... and we also enjoyed the easy access to the train station to visit all the other villages. At night we never needed to go out anywhere because the terrace of the apartment was so wonderful. There was always a nice cool breeze and a great view of the water. Over all this is a great choice for a holiday... clean, accessible, and relaxing. Please note that there are lots of stairs and hills everywhere in Riomaggiore... you will get a workout :) The apartment I think is one of the best in the town. And the owner makes sure everything is perfect for you."

"Location is beautiful. Well situated for hiking within the Cinque Terre, or for day trips in the region (easy assess to train service). View from the terrace is magnificent. Lots of stairs due to its location, but an elevator is available near the train station to access the apartment from above (when arriving with luggage). My wife and I have beautiful memories of our stay."
