Cinqueterre Residence - Riomaggiore

We were in Riomaggiore for 4 days in April, and Cinqueterre Residence made our stay spectacular. The hosts were very friendly, the rooms were very nice, great breakfast. Just wonderful. A tip if you're arriving by train: be sure to ask them to arrange for your luggage to be picked up at the train station. There are about 200 steps to go up to get from the station to the hotel, and you won't want to be dragging a suitcase.

An amazing place to stay in Riomaggiore especially if you plan to do the hike where you can start it at Via Dell'amore. I can't say enough wonderful things about Davide and his family. They cater to you the minute you step on to their property with a welcoming drink and snack. The property & town is so charming you will fall in love. What a beautiful experience!

Cinqueterre Residence was a great place to stay. The family are very welcoming and do their best to help in any way. The only issue we had was the outdoor lighting. Light shone into our room until aprox 11.00-12.00pm each night and was on a mains switch so we couldn't turn it off. Apart from this, we had a very happy stay and would reccommend to others.

we had a great stay at Cinqueterre Residence. The family and staff were very nice and helpful.

I was delighted with everything about the Cinqueterre Residence. Carla made me feel immediately at home. I was feeling pretty rotten when I arrived (bronchitis) and not up to the long walk down to town. Carla kindly put together a lovely snack for me from the breakfast items. The single room was very comfortable and the best designed I've seen for today's single travelers (an electrical outlet and ample shelves right by the bed for all of my electronics). The bed was very comfortable. Each room has its own separate area on the shared terrace with bushes on either side for privacy. The view of this vineyards on the opposite hill was lovely. There is a shared area with a sea view and I believe a couple of the larger rooms have sea views from their terraces. Breakfast was ample and had very nice quality ham, cheese, fruit and pastries. The smiley face in chocolate on the cappuccino was a nice touch. The free wifi worked perfectly. I liked being high up beyond the main town, which made it quiet at night. I highly recommend taking the bus up, especially with luggage. I counted 133 steps down to the main street, and that is in the upper part of town up a very steep slope. Overall, I recommend the Cinqueterre Residence highly. The only caveat is that there are quite a few stairs to either gate, so I'm not sure it would work for someone with difficulty walking.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The residence was perfect. Nice big room with sunny terrace, good breakfast, quiet place at reasonable price.

Very nice place!

We liked the Residence a lot. The only less positive aspect was the fact that it requires going up many stairs but hey, it's Cinque Terre (it's all but plain =D). The room was good, and the staff nice and helpful. Breakfast was good. Not amazing, although one day we got to eat strawberries planted AT the residence! We recommend it. PORTUGAL

Excellent welcome and service. Do not even try to take your bags up the stairs-take the green bus to the top where they have their own stop. A small lift is there(for the luggage only). One flight of steps down, puts you at the office where on checking in you will be provided with all of the information you need re: hiking, ferries, restaurants, etc..

We had a nice stay here. everything is good. would recommend this place and hoping we could be back again.

Loved staying here. The location is amazing, views were spectacular. The staff were really helpful and friendly. We had a welcoming complimentary wine whilst the lady was explaining about Cinque Terre walks etc. At breakfast the man would make you whatever drink you would like (coffee, hot chocolate etc). We would recommend this place to anyone.

I stayed 2 nights and would have loved to stay longer had I known how amazing this place was. Carla was fantastic with her introduction of the area. It helped me get around much better. Breakfast wasn't included in my reservation but she nicely let me use it. Definitely a place I would recommend to everyone!

Wonderful, kind, and helpful owners (and family). Good layout with acess to tiered patios that have views of village and ocean. An excellent breakfast is included. Only drawback is the lack of soundproofing between rooms with adjoining walls, which is odd given the extensive remodelling. You can hear distinctly everything neighbors are doing from the bathroom to the bed.

Great hotel, the staff worked very hard and ensured we had a wonderful stay.

Lovely modern facility. Gracious hosts. Quite a bit of climbing involved but it is after all the Cinqueterre. We stayed 5 nights and wished we were staying longer

Beautiful surroundings, great staff and reasonable prices. We enjoyed every day of our stay.

Very nice!

Awesome location and room, slightly pricey but It was very nice. Lots of hills to walk up to get there, so pay the €1,50 to take the bus if you have any bags. Owners were very inviting and helpful with tourist attractions.

Carla and her staff are very welcoming and helpful. we loved our stay and would recommend this hotel to all our family and friends. we look forward to returning as it was such a great experience. thank you so much

The Cinqueterre Residence is exactly what we thought it would be, classy accommodation at a reasonable rate in a spectacular location. The family owners are great. Enjoy the stairs :) Don't do the walk from Monterosso to Corniglia, it's a waste of time. Do get a Cinqueterre card for the bus and trains, and do take a ferry trip to Monterosso.

The Cinque Terre is a beautiful place to visit. I am not sure if this hotel is worth the price I paid, but if this place was open I would stay again. Do not stay here if you cannot walk some steps.

Very nice place and nice staff !

This B&B is not so cheap, but is very nice, more than the photos show!

The directions on exiting riomaggiore station are unclear. I suggest that the statement regarding "2 choices" be changed to "Turn right on exit from train station, through tunnell, to green bus stop. Then you have 2 choices etc". The climb to the hotel is stiff, but we expected that. For visitors less than fully fit or carrying heavy baggage, use of the green bus would be strongly advised. Otherwise everything was excellent and the staff were lovely and exceptionally helpful. We would go there again and stay in the same hotel.

The staff were all very kind, friendly and welcoming. After seeing all of the hotels in Riomaggiore, I was very glad that we chose this one.

We were very pleasantly surprised with the Cinqueterre Residence - Locanda. The room we stayed in was very new, and very clean. We definitely enjoyed our stay in Riomaggiore, and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone. Carla, the owner, was very friendly and helpful, and her English is pretty good.

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. A great town to stay in. Good directions provided. Amazing views. Easy walk to the next town. Easy to catch the train between towns. Spacious, clean, nice rooms. No complaints! :)
