We are a Family from Hamburg in Northern Germany and stayed at Riomaggiore with our two kids for around a week. The apartment is wonderful and we really enjoyed our stay, although it was quite crowdy and warm in Cinque Terre (main season, hot summer days). If you don´t mind a rocky beach (we liked it!) you can go swimming in the morning + in the evening and around lunchtime you can sit on the kitchen balcony drinking cappucino, looking around the village, reading, relaxing, ... You get smoothies, gelati (ice cream), pizza, ... in the main street, if you like, and its really nice to walk around the narrow streets / ways of Riomaggiore. Furthermore, of course, you can also go hiking early in the morning (or the whole day at other times of the year). Riomaggiore is ideal for trips in the 5 Terre, but also to La Spezia, Portovenere, Genua, Pisa (by train or ship).

And last but not least there´s Veronica helping with everything around the apartment and giving you a lot of ideas and tips for your stay. Thanks a lot, Veronica! We`ll come back!

Ah, just one think we would not recommend: arriving by car. So, better take the train!
