Estate Riomaggiore

Loretta was very helpful during our stay she is lovely. The location above and away from all the crowd and noise from the main town area was great. A garage under the apartment was handy however the 25 euro per day was a little steep.

The bed was hard and the linen did not appeal to us. We could not open one of the doors in the kitchen out onto the balcony. A little more attention to the inter and external cleaning would improve things.

The view was beautiful and the apartment was spacious. The location was peaceful and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of the town. There were lifts up to the area, which was essential when travelling with suitcases. There was a bottle of wine, water & milk in the fridge & coffee capsules.

We booked the apartment based on the large terrace. The terrace furniture was poor. Rusty chairs, no sunbeds (which were pictured in the property details) the terrace was dirty, it had not been cleaned or weeded. It was crying out for some plant pots and general TLC. There was a cigarette end in the ash stand. The property was not clean, the dust on top of the cooker extractor was thick, as was behind the TV. The lounge was impossible to relax in as the sofa was under the eaves with no possibilty of watching the TV from anywhere other than the dining table. There were no coffee tables for drinks and the place could have done with some pictures and homely additions such as cushions etc.

Modern, clean apartment stocked with wine and other amenities. Our hostess Loretta was very nice.

At the top of Riomaggiore, it's a tough climb for elderly. Bed was a little springy. Nice patio but it did not have an unobstructed view of the town.

The location was great, quiet and away from the hustle and bustle. The accommodation was well equipped and delighted by the welcoming bottle of wine and beer. There was nothing we needed everything was supplied.

There was nothing we didn't like.

The host was very communicative. The location was great and had parking included. Comfortable stay.

The location was beautiful. The view was exceptional with a private balcony. The host was very helpful.

Nothing-we loved it!!

Best apartment we've ever booked on Booking to date. Modern spec, comfy bed, large shower room, fast wi-fi, well-equipped kitchen, food, wine and beer left for us on arrival to enjoy, easy to contact hosts to ask for help or questions and they are so kind and lovely. They gave us a tour of the property when we arrived. The property is located at the top of Riomaggiore but don't let this put you off! If you don't want to walk up the steep hill through town, there is a lift just to the right as you come out the train station that takes you halfway up the hill - then do a short walk along the road to the main church and just next to the left side of this is the entrance to another lift which takes you up to the road the apartment is on = no sweating! There are some steps up to the property though. They own the 3 flats located here but this top flat (the one with the biggest terrace at the top of the steps) was worth the extra money just for the INCREDIBLE VIEWS from the terrace. By far our favourite property so far. We also much preferred this property up high in a quiet location than having a property located in the marina - Riomaggiore is famous from the movie 'Luca' and tiktok trends so it is now heaving with tourists in the day, especially at sunset which means the marina is crammed and noisy of people coming back from sunset boat trips which isn't relaxing (don't worry, a lot of them disappear after sunset as staying in other towns so it's more chilled to go out for drinks after). But that's the best thing about where this flat is located because there are no shops or trekking routes on this road means it's super quiet! So the best thing we did whilst there was get takeaway pasta and cheeses and meats from the shops below to sit and eat in peace and quiet on our terrace to watch the BEAUTIFUL sunset with our free wine.

A few suggestions and not negatives: Some citronella candles or something for guests when sitting on the amazing terrace to keep away the mosquitos in evening (we could only find hundreds of citronella soaps to buy in town, not candles - someone is missing a business venture here!) Some wasp catchers to keep them away during the day so you can enjoy a meal on the balcony - they were a bit annoying but you are in the country! Fix the sun loungers, the arms are a bit broken as have come unattached but still super comfy and useable
