First, this apartment has a fantastic view of the ocean! It is a climb up the stairs and hills, not bad, but such beautiful views AND the apt was SO clean, and Claudio was so fantastic. He was accommodating to let us leave suitcases in the flat early, while it was being cleaned, due to our early arrival (in the rain). We LOVED Riomaggiore --and I would stay here or in Vernazza for the next trip. Great little kitchen, clean bathroom and shower, dining table, safe, and wonderful to have Wi Fii.

Thank you Claudio! Muchos Gracias por todo!! Hope to see you again in the future!!

The highlight of this apartment is the stunning views from both rooms! It was a comfortable apartment with everything we needed for our stay. It is not fancy but it is just right and you probably will not spend much time inside while you are here!

Claudio graciously welcomed us at the train station and helped us with our bags. Just like everything in Cinque Terre, there were a lot of stairs but you should not go to this part of Italy if you do not like walking/climbing!

Riomaggiore is less touristy than Monterosso and Vernazza but it still has a healthy nightlife. There is a harbor but no real place to swim. When we went there in summer 2014, you could not hike to the neighboring town because the path was washed out in the flood but hopefully that will change soon! You can easily take the train to the other terre.
