Mare amore @ Riomaggiore

Omg this was a gem! So spacious and even more than we needed. Modern bathroom, such a cute kitchenette. A very short walk just up a slight hill.

Nothing!

The location was perfect and our room was beautifully presented so clean and so comfortable with everything we needed for our stay , lovely bathroom and a huge well stocked kitchen.... I would recommend this home to everyone

Upstairs neighbours were noisy

The property was charming and spacious

We were under the impression we booked a unit with laundry based on the pictures provided however this unit did not have laundry available

The room was amazing. Looked exactly like the pictures with just a few extra stairs than we thought! But lucky enough a lovely man from the hotel took one of our large suitcases up the hill and stairs to our room. The shower was a lot bigger than I expected!

The pillows were a little bit too soft and unfortunately out of their control the people in the apartment above were very loud.

It was easy to meet the contact and thereafter to proceed to location right up the street. Location was great within a short 2 minute walk to busy part of town. Rooms were clean and cozy, I liked the windows/shutters to the outside path; I had everything I needed. I liked the small garden I could sit in with the largest lemons I've ever see. I wish I would have asked contact how to work stove and a few other appliances. Nice place !!!

Initially I made the mistake of leaving the accommodation the 1st time to go see the village WITHOUT looking at my surroundings outside And WITHOUT my phone. Upon trying to return to it, I couldn't find it; I went up several stone stairways near it but saw I was truly lost. Thought I might have to call the police as it was 8:30 pm and dark. I went back into the village, saw the contact sitting with friends outside a restaurant, informed him of the situation and asked that he take me to it. He could see I was upset, 1st night in a foreign country, but he declined, even seeing how upset I was. He did give me the landmark of the church and I found it easily. Of course this was a lesson to me for the rest of my trip; look at surroundings and always have your phone. I have been honored with Customer Service Awards in the past, therefore I was amazed at the lack of service (after the initial meeting) from the contact. Even if one is "off" or has "certain hours to work" a representative of a company or accommodation should do what's best for his client if it is doable and a good representation of his/her client.

A long walk up the hill, but got used to it.
