This newly renovated studio is perfect for travelers like us who wanted to spend time in Riomaggiore, other towns, and then also have some calm breakfasts and lunches away from the crowds.
A few things made the apartment uniquely great:
- it’s located at the second “level” of Riomaggiore, but there are no stairs needed to get from the train station to the apartment thanks to a town elevator. So many of the other apartments we saw while there had many many (many) stairs to get to, and were in crowded parts of town.
- at the second level of town you are removed from much of the daytime tourists, and there is a wonderful coffee shop and also a restaurant where you can get great breakfast and meals with amazing views and relaxation.
- Rio seems to be the best town :), lots of fun walks up and down the hills, one more hidden beach, but that’s just our impression.
Andrea our host was very communicative, and even shared a video of how to get from the train to the apartment. Everything was clean and set up for us, and the apartment AC and internet worked well. It was a calming and central home base for our explorations of Cinque Terre!
