This place was fantastic! The view could not have been better and you are right in the middle of everything. Lots of waterside restaurants within a minutes walk. Mira was so helpful with anything we had questions about, met us when we got off the train and even booked us a reservation for dinner for the night on her way out! The place was updated and very clean, and included a hair dryer, towels, mini shampoo/conditioner, just like a hotel! I'd absolutely recommend this place to anyone, and will stay there again if I get to go back.

It's quite hard to write something that hasn't been written yet on this little gem, like on the other listed room 101. Everything went smooth since the first message: mira is excellent, the room, the bathroom and the building completely renovated with high quality and well appointed features; a/c works well and is extremely silent, wi fi might be slow sometimes but fine. The location and the view over the Ligurian sea in this small corner of the World are hard to describe. Excellent choice! Thanks mira

Great spot Couldn't get more central than that hip super host Warm ecommendations

We had an amazing visit in Cinque Terre mostly because of the perfect location of our Airbnb. We stepped outside and we were steps away from restaurants and the beach. This place has the most spectacular view you will ever see. On your left you see endless ocean and the moon at night, straight ahead you see the other towns of Cinque Terre and then to your right you see the town of Riomaggiore. We ended up getting take out most nights to go back to our room and watch the sunset while having dinner. Everything was clean and new when we stayed here which made it that much more enjoyable. If you visit Cinque Terre you have to consider staying in this apartment in Riomaggiore. It's worth every penny.

It was great! The pictures and description really don't do it justice. I was under the impression that the place was a little bit on the outside of the town. But it's right at the base near the shore. It's beautiful! We couldn't have asked for better! And... you'll most likely be talking to Mira who sort of manages the place. We got a little lost because we drove in and she ran around looking for us for like an hour... then even got in the car with us and helped us park. And helped drag luggage over to the apartment. She was the best! We'd definitely stay here again!! If you come here... try the hike that hike that connects the 5 towns! It was awesome! And if you are wanting to eat in the restaurants in town... make reservations as early as possible! They fill up sooner than you'd think!

Beautiful room on the marina - couldn't ask for better views of riomaggiore and near to train to explore the rest of cinque Terre. Mira went above and beyond what is expected to support and provide any answers to questions we had throughout our stay. Looking forward to returning to the apartment again soon

Great place, perfect location, comfy bed and linen. Would stay again

房子很好,东西齐全,有一张双人床和一张沙发床。位置很棒,离火车站很近。房子后面有个花园,可以在花园看海上日落。除了价格贵了点,其它都很棒。

Fantastic terrasse with an amazing view of the village below - awesome. The apartment is well equipped - a little dark, but this can be expected due to the conversation. I suggest confirming exactly where you can go have breakfast with the coupons provided. Great place, thank you!!

Great stay

The place is great and very close to everything. Pictures are very accurate but better in person. Customer service and cleanliness is excellent. The private patio was a cherry on top with a view to the ocean while we wined and dined. I would love to revisit. Thank you guys for such a great service.

Lovely little apartment, the garden is lovely and the view is amazing! Was really clean and well kept. Only things is the wifi didn't work (but no real issue as we were only there 1 night, I'm sure they would help if we were there longer), and can be hard to sleep if you're a light sleeper as the trains are quite loud.

This was one of the coolest places I have ever stayed. The space is very small but there is room for 4 people to sleep comfortably and it is brand new, everything is clean and works great. You can't beat the location and quality for this price. There is a rooftop garden terrace with the best view in riomaggiore.

the private, up-around-the-bend outdoor space - with table, chairs, hammock and incredible water view - is fantastic. it was the perfect place for our sunset picnic dinner.

Sailor's Rest is a wonderful place to spend a few days in Riomaggiore. Super location right in the heart of town, but quiet and quaint. The photos are accurate and the kitchenette is so convenient. The garden is not attached to the unit but just a short walk with a wonderful vista. We had a splendid time! Thank you!

Beautiful scenic view. A few minutes walk to an incredible beach. Easy access to the train. Very close to food and drinks. Lots of stairs, but well worth it!

Brand new inside. So clean and well designed. The views were insane. Cool Air conditioning, comfortable beds, and a great location. Also Riomaggiore was insanely amazing. It was unreal.

Apartement complètement refait à neuf, très pratique, ultra propre et avec une vue à couper le souffle. Chapeau!

Roberta's place was truly wonderful. We traveled with another couple and the flat was perfect with separate bedrooms and bathrooms. The place was super clean / beds were comfortable / air conditioning was a blessing and the views were amazing. Pack light as there are a lot of steps to get to/from Roberta's. However- hills and steps are everywhere in Cinque- so you will earn that Gelato!!

Perfect place to stay. Incredible view. Wonderful apartment. Would definitely stay again.

This is by far the coolest place I've ever stayed. The view from our bedroom was one of the best we found anywhere in Cinque Terre. The air conditioning was very refreshing to have, and the apartment was newly renovated and was done beautifully. If I ever have a chance to come back, this is where I'm staying.

非常好的房子,漂亮的海景,友善的房主,下次还想来

An incredible apartment in an incredible town! The location and space is wonderful. Beware the potential lack of parking (and you'll pay 23 euros a day if you get it in small public lot). Kitchen is nice but is not stocked with anything like salt, sugar, etc.

Put simply, our favorite ever Air BnB experience. Wonderful location, amazing views, very cosy and such fantastic, caring hosts. Place comes with comprehensive local notes which gave us a brilliant base for exploring the Cinque Terre. Yuri is a local and on the final night he booked us an incredible seat at the town's best restaurant. Very magical all round. Stay here! You won't regret it.

First of all meeting Kelly was wonderful and her little baby . She had arranged a porter for us and that is very important as the hills are challenging to navigate with luggage. Roberto the Porter was excellent and obviously very strong and knowledgeable about trains where to tell us to go which track for our next leg of the journey . Kelly had made a wonderful informative book of all the things to do in riomaggiore and it was filled with colourful photographs and suggestions . The place was darling and very comfortable and the views magnificent . There are some steps to navigate but you do get exercise which is quite wonderful for the heart . Yuri was also delightful and very kind . We met him down in the marina area where he suggested some wonderful wines for us for the week . The restaurants were excellent and I especially loved the fresh fish . The views astounding everywhere. The views of the sea and the views of the Mountains. We took several hikes and some of them are challenging and some are more relaxing but all are worthwhile . There is also an excellent bakery and gelato shop . Rio Maggiore is fabulous and like going back in time being astonished and amazed at how they built this Village up against the seaside Cliffs . We could not have asked for better hosts . Thank you Kelly and Yuri!! Debra Reece Simons and Bill Simons Asheville North Carolina USA P.S. Listening to the sound of the sea every day and night was absolutely superb from our windows and doors of this lovely Villa and seeing the ocean from the private balcony was such a treat along with seeing the Sanctuary of montenero up high atop the hill where we made a day hike an afternoon of beauty .

This was one of our favorite trips because of our stay at Kelly and Yuri's home. They were very friendly, gave us all the recommendations we needed, and even booked a dinner reservation for us. Also, you can't beat the view from their balcony! I would recommend this home to anyone!

We had a wonderful stay at Kelly and Yuri's flat in Riomaggiore. The town itself feels very authentic, lively, and rustic--a bit less touristy than some of the other towns in Cinque Terre. Kelly was responsive and really helpful. The apartment is clean and spacious and has incredible views of the ocean and harbor from the terraces. Highly recommend staying here!

Kelly and Yuri were incredible hosts with great communication through our entire stay. Their advice around what to do, where to eat and the whole cinque terre was invaluable. Apartment location is great. Tucked in the heart of Riomaggiore and a short walk to local cafes, bars and the water. The balcony has views across the town and sea which are perfect for relaxing and enjoying a meal or drinks. They made us feel very at home and were happy to be contacted throughout the stay if we ever needed anything. Many thanks Kelly & Yuri!

This was my first time ever using airb&b and I was nervous but Kelly and Yuri were so welcoming! The apartment is gorgeous and has an amazing balcony view overlooking the main road. They provided wonderful recomedations for food and activities. They also were very good about explain how travel worked in the Terre! The views from the apartment were to die for and I would recommend staying here to anyone who is looking to visit!

This apartment is in a perfect location. Our favourite time of day was sitting on the balcony in the evening, enjoying the charming lights of Riomaggiore, the moonlight on the sea and the hum of chatter as others around the harbour were enjoying the evenings too. Yuri and Kelly were perfect hosts and the apartment was well appointed and lovely and clean. dau Cila served us the best octopus we have ever had and the butcher sold us a rib eye steak to cook and enjoy on our balcony that was so good, we went back the next day and bought another.

Kelly and Yuri were terrific hosts. They made out trip to Cinque Terre even better than we expected. They made two reservations for us and both places were AMAZING. They also helped us set up a sunset boat tour which was awesome! The apartment was also perfect. It was easy to get to everything in Riomaggiore and was very spacious and clean. Kelly and Yuri were also available to answer any questions during our stay. If you are going to Cinque Terre I highly recommend staying at 5 Sensi de Mare. All of Cinque Terre was exquisite but we really enjoyed Riomaggiore.

This was the best Airbnb we have stayed in so far! It had everything we could want and more. The view from the terrace, easy access from the train, clean and well equipped, and easy checkin. I wish we could have stayed longer as it was great to be be somewhere so well connected to the other towns but at the same time peaceful and relaxing. We will be back for sure and hope the apartment is still available next time!

Maria and Davide's place is amazing! It's very easy to get to from the train station, and accessible to the town center or the marina in just a minute or two on foot. The best part by far is the private terrace looking out onto an amazing view of the sea! We really enjoyed eating dinner and watching the sunset from there. The apartment itself was lovely, clean and had everything we needed. Davide was very helpful with check in and made himself available for any questions or concerns throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay there!

We had an amazing stay at Davide and Maria's! It is a beautiful apartment located right on the ocean. The balcony is giant and it hangs over the water. They had a well stocked kitchen (appliances and cookware) so we were able to cook some of our own meals! We loved our stay and would highly recommend it to others. Davide and Maria were also great at responding to us right away!

Maria's apartment is in the best possible location for Riomaggiore. The balcony has a stunning view and the shops and restaurants are a few minutes up the street. Maria was a great host and I highly recommend her place for anyone interested in visiting Riomaggiore!

The apartment is lovely for a family of 3 or 4 , there is a queen size bed and bunk beds. The view is outstanding! very close to restaurants and shops. Trying to find it can be tricky. When you leave the train station go to the RIGHT! follow the path through the tunnel...and then up the steps, and back down the steps, follow around to (URL HIDDEN) around the corner of the marina to the right. It's a little tricky to find. The space has everything you need! views are breathtaking!

We loved our time here! The apartment was more than we could have hoped for- and the view from the patio is unbelievable! David was very kind and hospitable. We enjoyed watching the sunset overlooking the water from the patio- if you're in cinque terre don't hesitate to stay here!!

What an amazing location! We had a great stay at Maria's sea-view terrace apt! It was better than a 'view' - we actually felt like we were 'in' the sea! So close that we literally walked out of the door with our bathing suits on and were in the water a minute later. We ate dinner on the terrace every night, saying that it was the best restaurant in town! The apt itself is cozy and comfortable. Our 9yr old loved the bunk beds.... Plan to stay here before it is all booked-up! We would stay here again in a heart-beat, if only we could get back to Italy soon!

This place is an awesome apartment that you should definitely check out! We spent many nights enjoying the sunset from the balcony and having dinner on the balcony too. Also, the interior is very modern.

Fantastisk utsikt, trevligt och avskilt från stadens brus. Litet men väl i ordning. Kan klart rekommendera detta boende / Mikael

We had such a good time at Alessandro's place. We stayed 5 nights and it felt too short. Amazing recommendations he has for places to visit around La Spezia. Great room, great bathroom. Very relaxing place right into the trees. A little path into the vegetation from the road and you reach the room and the fabulous terrace to enjoy the view and the breakfast in the morning.

If you have plans of staying at least 3 or 4 days in Cinque Terre, Alessandro's house is the place to be. His cozy, silent and beautiful room is located on the top of a hill in La Spezia - perfect place if you have a car available. If not, there's public transportation (bus / 2 Euros / 15 min to downtown) running every 30 minutes, but it ends around 8pm. So if you want to stay longer in dowtown La Spezia you'll need a taxi (18 Euros) or a ride to get back home. Alessandro is extremely helpful and attentive. He served us breakfast every day and drove us around whenever he could. He speaks good English and knows every good spot in La Spezia and its surroundings. Alessandro is also funny and interested in different cultures. His equally nice brother, Mattia, helped us out when Alessandro wasn't around. His room has a double bed with private bathroom. Well-tasted decor and fresh flowers upon arrival :-) - and a breath-taking view from his terrazza. Tips: - if you're taking the bus, you must pay it once you enter - or you might get a 35 Euro fine. - don't miss Porto Venere. You get there by ferry in downtown La Spezia - Monterosso is the best spot for swimming. Don't forget your towel!

Beautiful views from the balcony. Great room and bathroom - clean and great standard. Car advised to reach the accommodation. Would definitely reccomend.

Alessandro was amazing - he was everything you would ever want in a host and more. He is so generous and showed us all of these amazing places in the area and told us about the history of Cinque Terre and La Spezia. We enjoyed dinner with him one night and it was the highlight of our trip - he's such a great guy. The apartment has the most beautiful view of the city you can imagine and a very convenient bus to take you anywhere you need to go. Walking to dinner at Osteria Secondini was great too - it was our favorite meal of our whole trip in Italy. I definitely recommend staying here!

Well, there are two reasons I chose this place... the view and the other reviews of how lovely Alessandro and Maritina are... And neither disappointed! We arrived after dinner to charming Alessandro who greeted us showed us around and left us to our wine on the lovely patio that you see in the listing. We ate breakfast there also and shared a quick coffee with Alessandro before he had to leave! Great guy. We were sorry we missed Martina. This was a lovely accommodation!

We spent 3 nights staying with Alessandro in La Spezia. He is a wonderful host and we enjoyed our morning conversations over breakfast. (Delicious warm focaccia bread with pesto). Also the views looking over La Spezia and the harbour from the house are really awesome.

Alessandro is a fantastic host. I am 110% happy. He helped us with our itinerary and had plenty of maps and advise about what to do, see and where to eat. Best pasta I've ever had. The room is clean and nice. The view from the balcony is fantastic. If I ever go back to Italy I will visit this area again and will stay at his place again. Book your stay here you will not regret it!

My boyfriend and I stayed at Casa Giulia for three nights. We loved everything about the apartment. The location is close to the train station, and Rosanna gave us perfect directions from the station to get to her. She was waiting for us upon arrival a few steps away from the apartment to take us the rest of the way and show us around the place. The apartment is just a few steps away from all of the restaurants and bars in Riomaggiore. The place itself is beautiful. There is a private terrace/garden with a wonderful view of the coast. Inside everything is spotless and decorated beautifully in a nautical/seaside theme. Inside the apartment some of the walls are rock; it feels like a cave carved into the coast - very romantic! There is a working kitchen which we used each morning to cook breakfast before heading out to hike/explore. Thank you Rosanna for making our experience in Cinque Terre so wonderful!

Case Giulia and Rosanna were lovely! She met us at the previously agreed-upon spot, and was so nice even though our train was a bit late arriving in Riomaggiore. Her apartment is gorgeous - breathtaking views, beautifully renovated, spotlessly clean, and very well provisioned with great linens, kitchen necessities, and all of the comforts of home. Don't pass up this spot ! The walk up the stairs is worth this magnificent apartment with it's lovely landscaped terrace and the best views of the sea and beyond. After booking, Rosanna sent us very thorough and helpful information about the apartment, the village, and all of Cinque Terre . She was prompt and very communicative.

We had a lovely stay in Riomaggiore and enjoyed having our meals on the patio with an incrediable view of the ocean. There are 187 steps to the village and totally worth every step along with a good workout as well! The suite is totally equipped with everything to cook and it is quiet and very clean. Rosanna was an amazing help and provided us with lots of ideas as to what to do in the Cinque Terre. I would recommend anyone to stay here, however if someone is challenged with walking or not able to walk up stairs this is not the unit for them. We simply loved every moment and bought groceries in the little town of Riomaggiore along with fresh pasta and fish! Do not miss out on the Gelato!

This cute little house was a fabulous place to stay in Riomaggiore. At first, I was debating staying in the square (because the place I was looking at was larger) - but I'm so happy we chose Rosanna's instead. It's only a few minutes walk from the centre, with an amazing view and very charming apartment. Definitely recommend.

Host met us on the lane leading to home. Host carried wife's bag down many steps. Host had wine and snacks as welcome. The view was outstanding and the terrace was stunning.

We had a wonderful stay in Riomaggiore. The apartment has the most amazing location, right on the waterfront and a great place to watch the afternoon sunset. As planned we met Rosanna and Salvador straight off the train and helped us make our way up to the apartment. It had everything we needed to cook up breakfast and dinner. Would highly recommend this place, we loved it..our favourite place on our trip.

A gorgeous stunning view, delightful patio garden, clean and quaint apartment that was very homey and comfortable. Quiet location yet close the center square!

What an incredible (but short) stay! The seclusion of this accomodation in good weather is amazing and is by far the best place we have stayed at in Italy. Well appointed kitchen and the attention to detail is impressive. The garden is well kept and at the time of visiting was exploding with perfumed jasmine, giving another dimension to the vista. Would return most certainly.

Amazing apartment in a perfect location!!! The apartment was spacious, clean, comfortable and with a beautiful view! Anita was excellent with communication and her son Luca was polite, extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. We had an amazing time and loved the apartment!!

Very central, comfortable and lovely place in Riomaggiore. Seeing the sea from the apartment window was just a dream come true! We were welcomed by Anita's son at the train station, who provided us with all the necessary info and maps. A bottle of wine was even waiting for us in the apartment. Recipe for the perfect stay! Totally recommend and will hopefully come back!

Anita was incredible. She was very flexible with us and forgiving as we were quite late for check-in. She also met us at the train station to walk us directly to her home! Her apartment was very clean and had every thing we needed for a week-long stay. Last but not least when my wife was not feeling well Anita responded very quickly to our message and came over right after work, offering to take us to the doctor or pharmacy to help with translation. We definitely felt cared for by Anita and truly enjoyed our stay in Riomaggiore. Go with Anita! you will not regret it. With love, Roby & Raissa

The sunset from Anita's place is magical. With our own private window view, it was better than the sunset at Oia Santorini. Anita has every single thing you could ever need while staying here. She is extremely helpful and accommodating. We enjoyed the complementary wine and cold water on arrival. Highly recommend this place!

Anita's son met us at the train station and was very friendly and answered all questions we had. The apartment was amazing, the views were just incredible. Across from us a band played music on the balcony which was just so fun! We would love to stay here again on our next adventure to Cinque Terre.

Anita's son Luca met us at the station and showed us the way to the apartment. He explained everything to us. The apartment has a wonderful view from the balcony and is everything you imagine when you think of Cinque Terre. There was a lovely bottle of wine and lemons awaiting us and Anita met us for an Aperitif the next evening with recommendations. The apartment has everything you need for your stay. There is no wifi but all the bars and restaurants have wifi so it wasn't a problem. We would definitely recommend Anita's apartment for your stay in Riomaggiore. Anthony & Grace

From the moment we stepped off the train Anita was there to met us and walked with us to her place "the window to the sea". We would like to say a very big thank you to you Anita for sharing your slice of paradise with us we feel very lucky to have been able to stay there! Everything met our expectations! Clean and the most stunning view! The train and boat timetables we very handy to! The bed was extremely comfy! We highly recommend Anita and her place! Wish we could have stayed longer!

The stay at this apartment was wonderful. Our host was courteous and extremely helpful. She even went to extremes in reserving a parking spot for us, before our arrival. The charming apartment had a wonderful view, located at the base right off the ocean. Great restaurants within walking distance. The apartment had everything we required and was clean and tidy. Thanks to Anita for everything.

Simply delightful! I highly recommend this charming apartment to anyone traveling to Cinque Terre. I was exhausted after traveling for more than 24 hours from Johannesburg, and Giorgia went above and beyond by meeting me at the train station to take me to the apartment. She recommended some great spots for dining - tailoring all her information to my interests and even offered to make reservations for me. I was so grateful for her help in coordinating with my next airbnb hosts to get keys and check-in. Her maps and explanation on transport were a godsend and allowed me to make the most of my time here. This is true Italian hospitality! The apartment is very convenient to the train station and has everything you could need. I only wish I could have stayed longer as I truly enjoyed my stay! Thanks Giorgia!

Excellent accueil de Giorgia, qui nous a donné quelques précieux conseils et renseignements. Ensuite, nous avons pu profiter des bonnes prestations de cet appartement au look contemporain et de son emplacement proche de la gare. Le parking estcégakemebt un plus appréciable. Bref je recommande cette adresse

Host was friendly and really helpful. Apartment was nice and clean, close to the train station.

Thanks for Giorgia, she is very nice! The house is excellent, we had a nice day there!

The apartment is well equipped and very modern. Really close to the central station, which makes it an ideal place to stay if you want to explore Cinque Terre. There's also free parking on site if you have a car. About 2 mins walk from the apartment, there's a bakery called Panificio Rizzoli Marcello where you can get focaccia and other breakfast items. Giorgia is super friendly and helpful. She provided maps and train schedule for our convenience. She even left a bottle of wine for us! We'd definitely stay with her again!

Giorgia's apartment is located a short walk from the train station and 20 minutes from the La Spezia town centre. It was clean and perfect for two or three people. Giorgia was a great host.

Logement bien placé, tres propre et pratique. Super accueil de georgia. Il ne nous manquait que la climatisation car a cette periode il fait tres chaud et c est difficile de rfraichir l appartement. Adresse A recommander !

We stayed two nights to explore Cinqueterre and it was a perfect location. The apartment is near a grocery, a coffee shop, the train and only 25 mins walk to the ferry. Giorgia was a perfect host. She recommended to take the ferry for Cinqueterre and we don't regret it as I think it's the perfect way to see it. The apartment it's exactly like the pictures. I really recommend it. Thanks again Giorgia :)

I wish I could give Andrea 10 stars because that's what he and his apartment deserve. The location is the best in town - just off the main street with very few steps to get to, and very quiet. The apartment is comfortable, clean, spacious, and outfitted with everything you need. We ate breakfast in the apartment each morning with food we got at Coop and felt like we were in a movie. Andrea welcomed us with strawberries and champagne and a huge smile. And be sure to ask him about his honey. The jar he gave us was rich and savory. Almost like sorghum or molasses. Yum. He also provided us with a couple of restaurant discounts including the little restaurant just downstairs from the apt (Osteria Maitè - which was one of our favorites in town. Don't miss it.) Do yourself a favor and choose Ca'Der Porpo for your Cinque Terre stay. You will not regret it.

Andrea was a perfect host-very flexible with arrival and met us at the train station and helped us with our things up to the apartment which is a perfect location just above the main street so close to shops, bars, restaurants and the station but tcked away in a quite stairway so it's peaceful at night time. The apartment itself is beautiful and tidy with everything you could need plus lovely extras from Andrea. We loved our stay and couldn't recommend enough!

We had a great time at Andrea's place. It was extremely convenient to the train and the restaurants in Riomaggiore and was and excellent home base for Cinque Terre. The apartment was very cool, comfortable, and quiet at all times of day. Andrea was super helpful and friendly beforehand and while we were in Cinque Terre. We would definitely stay there again if we are in the area!

Andrea's place was excellent! Really professional interactions and great little touches around the apartment. The home was very centrally located and extremely cute!

Very clean and cozy apartment in the center of Riomaggiore. Perfect place to start excursions in Cinque Terre. Especially Andrea made our stay to something special and we can highly recommend the trip with his boat - he is the perfect guide to show you secret places of this region. You also have to try his self made honey :) The only thing you should be aware of is that you have to park your car in La Spezia. But Andrea even picked us up from La Spezia to bring us to our Appartement. We have never met a host like Andrea: he really deserves the title Superhost!!!

A super nice little appartment, very well located in Rimaggiore. Full of charm, the host even welcomed us with beverages and fruits!

Andrea's studio is very charming with a very cosy and authentic atmosphere. The location couldnt be better, very close to the marina and the main street with all restaurants. The appartement was very clean and he even left us a bottle of sparkling wine and some breakfast. The only problem is that the appartement is very dark and humide.

Soggiorno da favola...tutto curato nei minimi dettagli...pulitissimo e molto accogliente...carino il pensiero di lasciare fragole dolcetti e prosecco per gli ospiti...abbiamo gradito molto...posizione ottima e silenziosa...a due passi dalla marina e falla stazione...molto carina la nicchia dove hai ricavato la camera da letto...lo consiglio a chi vuole trascorrere un soggiorno romantico...grazie di tutto Andrea spero di tornare presto a Ca' der porpo

Going to Cinque Terre? If so, Serena and her family are wonderful hosts in very nearby La Spezia (area train pass is valid from La Spezia to Cinque Terre to Levonto). For us, it was like staying and living in a postcard. Generations of her family own most of that valley. You will have a sunny breakfast with a view of the quiet terraced homes. Her two dogs and cat are friendly and will quickly accept you into their "la familia." Her parents are jovial and kind. You'll be able to manage communicating even if you don't speak Italian. Your room will be a mini-castle with all walls of your room and bathroom made of rocks and boulders. Very romantic and one of the more unique rooms of our lifetime of travels. Serena is organized and at check-in had all the info we needed to do our explorations. Nearby Cinque Terre (10-12 minutes by the train that serves those seaside towns?) has many touristic options (for this UNESCO World Heritage Site). You may want to also add a day to your vacation just to relax in your room or the very large patio overlooking the hillside. It will be a La Familia "slow down and enjoy" experience. Would have added a third day to our stay, but was pressed for time to move on along to be able to get to Monaco in time for the International Fireworks Competition. Would recommend Serena and her home to anyone.

We had a lovely time hosted by Serena's mother Nadia. Serena was away and communicated well through email. Even though we don't speak Italian, and Nadia spoke only Italian, we somehow communicated together, and received some great travel tips. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Great location for easy train ride to the Cinque Terre.

Serena went out of our way to meet us by La Spezia's fire station and then to guide us to her b&b. The room was very clean, cute and modernly furnished. The 2 dogs were very friendly. The accommodation is situated over the harbour however the nice garden does not overlook the shipyard. Serena's mother provided us with a simple but nicely presented breakfast. We also had access to a small kitchen. It is possible to park the car for free around 30 mins from the train station from where to head to the Cinque Terre.

We (two couples) stayed 5 nights at Serena’s B&B at the end of our holidays. It was a great experience! Unfortunately we have not been able to meet Serena personally but Nadia, her mother represented her very well and was a very pleasant host. Although we were not able to speak any Italian and Nadia did not speak English very well we have been able to communicate rather well. She twice cooked a lovely tasteful local meal for us. The area around La Spezia is very beautiful. Of course we have made the boat trip to Cinque Terre and we visited Portovenere and Lerici which are also very beautiful villages. We did some hiking in the environment and enjoyed swimming in the sea. We had a very good time.

Serena's house was exactly as pictured. She was warm, welcoming, so friendly and unbelievably helpful. You have your own private guest house (if no other guests are staying) and the bathroom is great. The house is really private and picturesque. Breakfast overlooks the vineyard. We had a car so getting to La Spezia and Porto Venere were very easy - without a car I think you would have to take a bus from Serena's into the city (I believe the buses only run around 7:30am and 10am). We drove and parked in order to take the train to Cinque Terre. I can't wait to return to Cinque Terre and stay at Serena's again!

Serena and her family were great hosts. Even though her mother, who was the host during our stay, didn't speak any English, she was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The room and the bath room are quite clean and simplistically decorated. The shower is shared by two rooms, but the other room was empty during our stay. Unfortunately the WiFi is not working in the room (you might be able to get a week signal in the corridor to the bathrrom). Also as is mentioned in the description they have two dogs. Unfortunately one of them will constantly jump up on you and bark at you as you walk out of your room or are having breakfast outside. Obviously, he just wants to play... The room is located outside of LaSpezia, and a car is required to get there. Very unfortunately the "10.000 sqm private garden cultivated with olive trees, vines, fruit trees and vegetables" around the house are currently (October 2012) replaced by diggers und trucks and demolished to give way for a large freeway. In its current state the surroundings of the house are quite dirty and a especially at night a bit dodgy.

Serena was a wonderful host. She was very kind and helpful. Her place is quiet and peaceful, a perfect place to relax. Her mom was also extremely helpful. We had a wonderful time. I would recommend taking a taxi the first time to find out how to get to Serena ' s place. We biked into town after that and it worked great for us. We would stay here again!

La habitacion en La Spezia ha sido todo un lujo, esta apartada lo justo de la ciudad para poder estar tranquilos. La anfitriona nos ha dado todo tipo de facilidades y nos ha mostrado todas las actividades a realizar en la zona. El desayuno que preparan es ideal. Si pasamos por Cinque Terre de nuevo repetiremos

We were met at the assigned meeting place at the right time- so everything went smoothly

Thea has been a very friendly host and from the beginning she told us a lot of important things what we should do at cinque terre. We also could arrange our arrival time very flexible and she still was at the meeting point 2 minutes after we called her. The accomodation was very clean and we had an awesome view over the harbor of this lovely town. If we go back to riomaggiore we will definetely stay there again. We definetely recommend this accomodation

The apartment was perfectly located close to the harbour, restaurants and shops. The view and the sound of the sea at night was amazing. It was spacious and clean and felt like home for the 4 days we were there. Can't wait to go back

Very large and enjoyable flat, with and an amazing localization and view (the harbour is just under the balcony!) The room is very comfortable , and so spacious ! It was really easy to get in touch with Gennaro, and he was very keen to deal with any inconveniences .

Thea was very friendly and welcoming upon arrival. Check-in and check-out were very easy and seamless. Communication throughout the stay was clear and response times very quick. The flat was even more spacious than pictured, and the location was perfect. An easy walk from the marina and the train, with very few stairs to carry our luggages up and down. It was a great home-base for our stay in the cinque terre. Few amenities (no wine opener, etc), but we managed with local shops, etc. It's a lovely, basic flat. I would recommend to a friend! Thanks for everything, Gennaro and Thea!

Nice place but many problems with warm water in the bathroom

Riomaggiore is a wonderful location to stay during your visit to the Cinque Terre region. We loved that this was one of the quieter cities in the area. The view from the terrace was incredible! You are located right off the main street so access to all restaurants, local eateries, boat rental, and train station is less than a 5 minute walk which makes getting around so easy

Great Spot! Very clean and right down by the water in the center of the village. We loved it!

This place is more than perfect and a wonderful stay! great shower, good bed, amazing stay!

The ladies were lovely. Meeting us at the station, a cold bottle of sweet prosecco on arrival and walked us to the room. This was very helpful as finding it could have been difficult. It's a beautiful location. The room is a studio room with the door the window as well so neat and tidy. WiFi very good. Thank you for a lovely time. C & G

WOOOWWW the view is UNREAL! So much better than the pics. This is a 3 minute vertical walk downhill or a 5 minute uphill walk to the train and majority of restaurants etc. 1 fairly steep set of stairs in the building to get to the flat. Overall I thought this to be one of the most accessible options in cinque terre. Only way it would be easier to get to is if it were in the town but then you wouldn't have a water view. Went with my mom who was there for the views and can walk independently but isn't the hiking type by a long shot so she loved enjoying the room while I went out and explored. Beyond the stunning sunsets, lapping water, and boats you can see 3 restaurants and a gelateria within spitting distance. Certainly a buzz of tourists and fisherman all day but at night in September we slept with windows partially open to hear the water. Riomaggiore was my favorite of the 5 villages for sure. Beautiful, accessible, and compact. Ferry that takes you to few of the other villages drops you right by the apartment (up and down a set of stairs) and is a fun alternative to the more efficient train. Would absolutely stay here again and hope I get the opportunity to

Super easy to stay here...we were met at the train and we were walked to flat. Their place was clean, perfect location, and gorgeous views out the window. If you like to sleep late (past 8) you may hear people below you on the street, it didn't bother us because we were awake but just so you're not surprised. Other than that, it is a perfect place to stay...restaurants all around within a few feet and the train is a 3 min walk! Awesome! Thank you!!!

Giovanna and Mirko were wonderful they met us at the train station and took our bags to the apartment. Location was amazing beautiful sounds of the ocean outside your window. Need to be able to climb a few stairs but definatrly worth it.

This place is AMAZING!!! The view out over the harbour is absolutely breathtaking. It is very well situated and close to lots of shops and restaurants, as well as, the train station...making it easy to see the 5 lands. Thank you for a wonderful stay, I hope to return someday!!

We had a great time at Giovanna's place. Awesome location and amazing view. It was great to hear the waves crashing while you sleep.

Giovanna's place was amazing! Amazing view, right by the marina, you could even watch the sunset right from the room :) She was also easy to communicate with, and check-in was a breeze. I had a great stay!

le logement et situe à proximité du centre ville de la spezia et proche de la gar logement agréable et calme

David and Roberta were WONDERFUL! They were truly our favorite hosts during our 15 day stay in central Italy. They were warm, helpful, and spoke wonderful English, which, at that point in the trip made things a little less stressful:) This American could only learn so much Italian while planning her wedding! The room was clean and spacious and the breakfast absolutely divine.

in one word : lovely in two: don't go ! (because it is one of the loveliest b & b's we have ever stayed in and we would like to keep it a secret )

We stayed in the downstairs suite with an amazing view! David has a lovely property and it was easy to access by car. David and his wife are friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was the best we had during our trip :)

David and his wife are completely dedicated to his guests. Kind, generous, they give us all we needed for Pau, our 7 monts baby. Our bedroom was like a little apartment, with a kitchennete. Excellent for our needings. David explain all you need to know to reach Cinque Terre or wherever, with maps, timetable, prices. We had a big terrace where we could see the mountains, forest and little villages. Also it's a very quiet and relaxing place. Congratulations!

David is the perfect host. Our room was beautiful and comfortable. David helped us plan our day and our meals. His breakfasts were wonderful. His wife's homemade jams delicious!

After a very warm welcome David and his wife were very helpful with recommendations and explanations to discover the surroundings (for example a hike to cinque terre) ... The room was very nice and clean and for breakfast you could have whatever you want :-) it was a great time! Thanks!

Locanda del Papa is amazing! The B&B is in such a wonderful location. David and Roberta's home definelty lives up to expectations from previous reviews. Roberta picked us up from the train station, David offered us some lovely Vermentino and they both provided lots of great information for our stay. The breakfast was delicious. The room where we were staying was clean, bright and had everything we needed.

1. When choosing a place to stay, Riomaggorie Is the most wonderful place to stay in the cinque terre. 2. Cristina's apt- fabulous location. Two balconies on the sea, close to harbor, 10 minute walk to Main Street in town. Clean, well stocked to cook with coffee and espresso maker! Good value for space and location. Very romantic. Highly recommend it. 3. Recommend taking a private boat, ask for David at the main harbor boat tour rental area. We took a private tour to see all cities in the cinque terre, $90, an hr. Well worth the time with an experienced boat captain. Rae @ James

Christina's place is AMAZING. There is no better place in riomaggiore to watch the sunset than your own balcony (literally) - the apartment is beautiful. A very easy short stroll down to the main part of town for a bite to eat, but I would suggest taking some wine and cheese back to your balcony to eat and watch the sunset instead! Great air conditioning, comfy bed and overall could not speak highly enough of the place. Our fav airbnb we have ever stayed in.

We booked a 17-day trip all throughout Europe. This two day stay at Cinque Terra was amongst our favorite of all the places we visited. Cristina was very communicative, very hospitable, and her home was perfect for what we needed. There were four of us and it was big enough to accommodate us. The location is convenient to Riomaggiora and the train station. There are two ways to get here, one is to walk up a pretty long ramp and then down a couple flights of stairs. The other is straight up for five flights of stairs and it is a little steep. My parents struggled a little bit getting up and down but they are in their sixties. My wife and I being much younger didn't have any issue going up and down. The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and the view was beautiful. There are two bay doors that open up right to the ocean and the breeze blew right through the apartment. We loved listening to the ocean at night lapping against the Rocks. Waking up to a blue sky and water as far as you can see makes this location incredible. We would come back and stay here in a heartbeat. We felt we could have easily spent a week there and just soaked in the Italian ambience. Can't wait to go back and will definitely look to this location to make that happen. Cristina was very knowledgeable about the train system, restaurants to check check out, and other small details that most people might miss. Very pleased with our choice to stay here.

Stunning view and two balconies towards the sea. The flat was perfectly sized and clean. Christina was a very friendly and kind host. We would always recommend to stay in this nice atmosphere with beautiful sunset nights and waking up to the sound of soft waves.

The view is amazing from the balcony and the central part of the town is just a few minute walk away.

This place is so beautiful! The view is absolutely amazing! It is well equipped with towels, beach towels, fridge, kitchen utensils, and outside furniture and cushions. You can hear the sea from your bed. Everything works in this apartment and we loved waking up to the view and having breakfast at home. You can get eggs and pancetta and bread at the local store.

The perfect private cozy spot nestled above the cliffs of the Mediterranean but close to town and all the action. Very clean and quiet with all amenities you'll need. The air conditioning was great!

Amazing place to stay. Very close to city center but private and quiet as well. Excellent hosts and place! Highly recommended. Right on the ocean you can hear the sea when you sleep.

Marina and the apartment were both wonderful! She was so kind and helpful and the apartment was beautiful and very clean. The terrace and view from it were wonderful. We were only in La Spezia for one night but after checking in, we wished we were staying longer! One of our best airbnb experiences... Highly recommend!

We had a really great time staying in this Apartment. Thank you for your great host . The Apartment is clean and bright , it looks just like in the photos. Highly recommend!

Мы путешествовали с мальчиком 12 лет от Ниццы до Рима, и считаем, что в этой квартире и городе мы получили самые яркие впечатления. Квартира большая и ухоженная, с отдельной спальней, удобной кроватью, двумя диванами, один в спальной, другой на кухне - для детей разного пола. Хорошо оборудованной кухней, большим балконом с приятными видами. Быстрый WiFi. Видно, что квартира оборудована с большим художественным вкусом, Подъезд отделан мрамором, лифт. Напротив дома - большой супермаркет. Расположение удобное, 10 мин. пешком от ж/д вокзала. Район жилой, зеленый, чистый. Цена - очень приемлемая для такого качества. Приятно было, что хозяйка не только быстро отвечала на е-вопросы, но и встретила нас на машине на вокзале.

Our stay at Marina's apartement was very pleasant and comfortable. The whole place is very clean and everything you need is there! Marina is an excellent host, very thouhtfull and kind. La Spezia is an exellent starting point for wisiting Cinque Terre. We surely reccomend this staying to other travellers!

I strongly recommend to stay at Marina's flat! It is convenient and lovely inside. Moreover Marina is really helpful if you need any tips ! We had a wonderful stay, thank you :D

Marina is a warm lovely person who has great attention to detail and is truly a "super host". The apartment is in a great location especially if taking the train to Cinque Terra. I would highly recommend this apartment.

Marina was a fantastic host! She was so easy to work with and very knowledgeable. She was in contact with us prior to the trip and coordinated to pick us up from the train station when we arrived. As soon as we got to her apartment (which was BEAUTIFUL) she had an array of maps, travel guides, restaurant suggestions, etc waiting for us. She even gave us a bottle of wine and gave us access to the kitchen, which had coffee and pastries for breakfast. We had a wonderful stay at her place!!

Marina was a wonderful host, picking us up at the train station (which was very welcome since it decided to pour rain right when we walked out of the station). Clean and close to the station - the apartment was perfect for us. We weren't there long because we enjoyed the truly amazing cinque terre sights.

My family and I absolutely loved our stay with Andrea, incredible location and beautiful little apartment. Perfectly clean, brand new with everything you could need including beautiful original touches of high beamed ceilings and mountain cave walls. Fresh clean towels and bedding, lovely AC which we welcomed to come home to after and exciting day full of adventures. Andrea is an A+ host with lovely gifts of his own home made honey, champagne and fresh strawberrys, muffins and cake! I mean can we even cope! Even hand picked roses! He was Immediate with his suggestions of places to eat, swim and see and great on text. Met us in person with his father to help with the bags, and his brothers to send us off. Would make sure we had all we needed. Ate our breakfast out in the little patio. Loved our stay and would absolutely stay again! Don't miss this quiet yet close little spot. Just loved it!

Todo fue perfecto. Todo según lo descrito. En el centro del pueblo pero no escuchas los ruidos, tiene hasta una pequeña mesa fuera en la que pueden cenar tranquilamente lejos del bullicio. Veramente perfecto. Riomaggiore es el piublo mas caótico de estructura de casas pero el mas bonito en ese concepto.

The apartment is very quaint and Andrea was a great host and very responsive. He welcomed us with fruits which is very refreshing on a hot day! We enjoyed our stay very much.

We loved staying in Andrea's adorable beachy studio. First off and most importantly: the photos DO NOT do this place justice. It is so cute and much larger than we expected. The photos are a little old and Andrea has surely added more decoration and charm to the place. Upon arrival, we were greeted with champagne, fresh fruit, and baked goods. Andrea had a multitude of resources for those coming to experience all of Cinque Terre and was extremely helpful. He also provided coupons and other helpful tips for getting around, getting good deals, and getting familiar with the five towns. The place is centrally located and walkable to everything and is literally less than 5 minutes from the train station. It had everything we needed and more. Plus, the air conditioning worked great which was essential in the humid summer heat. We just adored it and would definitely stay here again!

Andrea's place was perfect for our stay in Cinque Terre. Riomaggiore was a nice town to stay in as it wasn't overly busy but still has lots of cafes and a small (rocky) beach. The apartment was very cool compared to the outside temperatures. Clean bathroom, well equipped kitchen and also included a (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) chromecast for entertainment. Andrea was generous enough to provide wine and fresh fruit on arrival and offered a fair price for a boat trip he had organised. Never had issues communicating and felt comfortable to ask him for local advice.

Andrea was a great host, and communication with him before and during our stay was super easy and quick. The apartment is just off the main street in Riomaggiore, but tucked away so its fairly quiet. It's been nicely redone, and is very clean. It is partially below ground, so the only natural light is from the glass door and a small window, but this wasn't really an issue. We had a great stay and Andrea was a great host!

La casa è deliziosa, pulitissima e ben curata. È vicinissima alla via principale. Andrea è un ospite eccezionale. Abbiamo viaggiato con un bimbo di 4 mesi e Andrea ha aggiunto una culla (con lenzuola nuove!) prima ancora che la chiedessimo. Abbiamo anche trovato dolci, frutta e prosecco al nostro arrivo. L'unico difetto è la poca luce e l'umidità, ma la casa è attrezzata con deumidificatore e condizionatore.

Was a perfect moment for to disconnect with everything, I didn't find better place for understand this Italian life

We stayed at a nice and beautiful room with all the things we need during the stay. The room had a balcony overlooking Riomaggiore. Lorenza was easy to communicate with and she made sure that we had a parking space when we arrived at Riomaggiore (which can be quite difficult to find!). She came to pick us up when we arrived and she told us the most important things about the town. She also brought us nice breakfast every morning.

We absolutely love Lorenza and her charming B&B! She picked us up at the train station exactly when we arrived and also dropped us off on our last day... it was so easy to communicate and coordinate with her. She greeted us with such a warm welcome, gave us some great tips as she drove us to CasaLorenza, and treated us to some cold freshing beer upon check-in. We booked the Dafne room, which had a small lovely terrace that overlooked the town of Riomaggiore. Every morning, Lorenza would leave a cute note and a bag of the most delicious pastries from the local bakery hanging on our doorknob and we would enjoy it on the terrace. My husband and I have never tasted foccaccia that amazing! She runs her B&B with the utmost care and professionalism and would highly recommend her. If we ever return to Cinque Terre we wouldn't stay anywhere else!

Vi kan kun anbefale at bo i Lorenzas værelse. Det er meget velindrettet med de nødvendige faciliteter med kaffemaskine, køleskab og service. Badeværelset var stort med dejlig brusekabine og hårtørrer. Der var en skøn balkon med to stole og bord med en flot udsigt over den smukke by. Der var ligeledes adgang til en hyggelig have med møbler og flotte citrustræer - også med udsigt over byen. Værelset blev omhyggeligt rengjort hver dag med nye håndklæder osv. Vores værtinde Lorenza var meget venlig, serviceminded og hjælpsom. Hver morgen bragte hun morgenmad til lejligheden uden merbetaling. Lorenza havde gode forslag til Vandreture og andre aktiviteter i Cinque Terre - og gik i det hele taget meget op i vores velbefindende. Værelset havde en meget central beliggenhed i den hyggelige by Riomaggiore - det tog under 5 min. at komme ned i hovedgaden. Det tog ca. 10 min. at gå fra togstationen til værelset, og Lorenza insisterede på at komme og hente os og følge os til værelset. Lorenza er venlugheden selv ig en supergod værtinde. Vi kan kun på det varmeste anbefale et ophold hos Lorenza.

Lorenza's place was beautiful. It is very close to the Main Street, the train station and the beach. Lorenza was such a great host. She picked us up from the train station by car so that we didn't have to lug our luggages up stairs and she also dropped us off at the end of our stay. She was easy to get a hold of if we had any questions and delivered fresh croissants, focaccia and yogurt every morning. Thank you Lorenza for making our stay in Riomaggiore so comfortable!

My favourite airbnb stay to date - Lorenza is the perfect host and her place is in the most beautiful town. Riomaggiore was a great base for exploring the Cinque Terre, by foot or train, and Lorenza's helpful advice ensured we got the most out of our short stay. Hand delivered breakfasts enjoyed on the balcony were the perfect start to each day - we wished we could have stayed longer!

Cinque Terre is an amazing location and Lorenza is an incredible host. The apartment sits atop a perch with gorgeous views down into the village from an intimate balcony. The space in the apartment is comfortable, clean and well-appointed. We were very comfortable. Even better was having Lorenza as a host! She picked us up from town and gave us an informative tour en route to the apartment. She was hugely helpful and the fresh baked goods delivered every morning with the espresso machine in the room made for a fantastic start to each day. We plan to visit Cinque Terre again and when we do we will hope to stay with Lorenza!

Absolutely adored Lorenza's apartment. It was spacious, clean, beautifully presented and with a fantastic view over the city. We loved the balcony and being able to unwind there in the evening and admire the town. Lorenza's hospitality was incredible, she picked us up from the train station and gave us heaps of information on Riomaggiore and the walk, made sure we were settled in, and the delivered us a nice cold beer to enjoy on the deck. Each morning we had a delicious breakfast of local focaccia and pastries delivered and tied onto our door handle (so as not to wake us). Honestly the greatest Airbnb experience to date, I highly recommend staying here if you're planning a trip to Cinque Terre.

Lorenza, thank you for such a wonderful beginning of our trip to Italy. Riomaggiore is just a dream and everything Lorenza did from beginning to end helped to make the dream even better than we could have ever imagined. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone who wants to experience Cirque Terre and all the special touches Lorenza has to offer will make your trip truly Bellizima!! Grazie Lorenza! Best Wishes, Kay and Mechan
