The view, and huge space.

The location is perfect. The balcony with a view! Everything you need you have at the apartment. The owner was so kind, that he allowed us to stay longer in the morning. There is a nice restaurant (it is in Michelin guide 2020) near the apartment which works even in winter, this is very important, because most restaurants are closed till spring. Also mini markets Coop are not far from marina. Nice place to spend several days and to travel all around Cinque Terre!

Amazing accommodation in a perfect location. Everything about this accommodation was amazing for us - especially the view from the balcony! Host was very helpful and allowed us a late checkout (free of charge) as our flight home wasn’t until 10pm. We loved our stay here and will definitely be back!

Location and view. Honestly, the only good things about this place were location and view. The main bed was ok, not an issue. It was also clean.
The sofa bed is uncomfortable with a hole in the middle (like it's 2 beds put together), and it's very perceptive while sleeping. Shower was not great either, low water pressure. Shower space didn't have a place to put soap, shampoo, etc. which was not very convenient for my older parents (who are not old, but not young enough to bend over to grab a shampoo in a shower space). The bathroom tap sink is too close to the sink, so not very helpful to wash your hands. We had a 20-day trip and we stayed in great places only, but I think this one was a miss for us. Cherry on top (in reverse) was that I was ready to grab a coffee at the balcony after not sleeping well and not taking a proper shower, and there were no coffee capsules (I even tried to buy it, but I was staying for one night and there were only boxes with 20 units selling). The owner tried to be helpful, so I guess this place has potential, it just needs a desperate fix on the bathroom. I am not going to mention the stairs as a negative thing, because in Cinque Terre it's impossible to find a place with no long stairs, due to the place's geography. So this had no impact on us.

We absolutely loved everything about this apartment from the gorgeous balcony and view to the modern spacious layout with kitchen , that has all you need to self cater which we really enjoyed . Having the local Alimentari (grocer) close by to buy all the amazing cheeses , meats, fruit & wines and the best panettone to enjoy on the balcony was a bonus.
Even the beach blanket made it more comfortable when going to the beach .
Nothing at all

Me and my friends really enjoyed our stay here at IL Porticciolo. The location of this place is amazing with good ocean view.
In the kitchen you has everything you need for making your own food. The bed, sofa and bathroom was also very good.

Perfect location overlooking the marina with a charming balcony. The flat is good size and clean and has all the amenities you would need for cooking. Located within steps from restaurants. Host is extremely responsive and accommodating. We added an extra night because we just didn’t want to leave.

The balcony was by far the best part! Beautiful location and view of the port. It was a shame that it rained most of the time but we still managed to get a bit of sun!
Unfortunately the walls/roof are extremely thin so we were woken up by the guests staying just above us every single night. Even the slightest movements they made would echo in our room and was impossible to ignore/sleep through. It was so bad one night we had to knock on their door at 1am. We were also a bit let down by some minimal supplies such as only two toilet paper rolls provided for 5 days of stay and if we needed a clean towel we had to pay extra for it. Aside from this, we had an excellent time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Very nice apartment with a beautiful sightseeing in Riomaggiore. We found all we need: practical kitchen, very good bathroom, comfortable bed, internet working well...

Was close to water
The listing said toiletries-there were none. Said there was a Microwave-none. Coffee maker- but was a specific pod you couldnt find in town and maid “forgot to leave some” and said they would bring and did not.
Room had black mold and shower was filthy with mold. Owner gave one excuse after another as to why there was mold or filth and that it was OK… the bed was not a King its 2 twins put together. I disnt expect the Ritz Carlton, but I didnt expect mold and just plain not clean setting for over $300/night. In addition, the owner tried to con me into “dont forget to leave your tourist tax” which was the icing on the cake. Worst part of my vacation staying here.

This property is amazing, right in the heart of the action. Amazing views of Riomaggiore marina and the houses around it. You will remember this stay forever. Sit on the balcony with a glass of wine/beer and just absorb the atmosphere. Lovely wine bar just down the steps with the most amazing kind people that run it. Everything is so close you will want for nothing. To sum up 12/10 believe us it is that good. The host Veronica was always there to help. Tip, if you come after dark make sure you have a phone torch that you can clip to your body so it leaves your hands free to carry your bags. Poor lighting on steps and very steep, but that makes the journey exciting.

Staying here was the best decision we made when visiting Cinque Terre! The room is so cute and had everything we needed, we were able to cook pasta and sit on the balcony each afternoon watching life in the harbour :)
Loved everything! But access to washing machine would be a great addition x

Veronicas studio was at a super nice and cozy place at the marina of Rimaggiore. Super close also to the train station. The studio was clean and fresh and the balcony was so cozy, it was nice to sit there in the morning eating breakfast or in the evening with a wine glas. It was easy to locate the studio/marina and Veronica sent good directions for how to get the keys.
Everything was perfect.

Location was perfect and right next to the water in Riomaggiore.
Check in process for extremely difficult. The heater didn’t work and it was freezing. Wi-Fi was also down the entire time so it was difficult trying to research the area because the phone signal was terrible. I had no service until we walked up to the town center.

The location was spot on. To me, Riomaggiore has the best spot compared to the other 4 and the room itself has the best view.
Our room was at the 4th floor and the only way accessible was the stairs, which is understandable. If you have a lot of baggage, you might have to go up and down multiple times.

Owner was very nice and friendly. The location was amazing right by the shore. I loved hearing the constant sound of waves crashing against the rocks.

It had a good view and property was spacious.
Big luggage might be difficult to navigate up and down the stairs.

The view!
Heating inefficient-cold, cold, cold! NOT as Advertised - No kettle or black tea, no tioletreties, no microwave, only one large casserole pot to use as a kettle. Two coffee pods provided for a two nights stay! No complimentary wine as advertised! No contact with the owner beforehand so we arrived not knowing how to find or get into the accommodation. All in all a poor experience!

View from balcony was great
It was VERY noisy. We had very disturbed sleep.
It was very expensive and didn't even have basics like coffee.
The shower door was hanging off. The bathroom was mouldy. It was a bit run down for the price.

Liked Veronica's message of communicating via WhatsApp to explain how to retrieve keys from lockbox.
Found the place just a little difficult to locate-- pictures were helpful, but wondering if it would be helpful to add one more photo of the wine shop below and change the picture of the restaurant (sign is different now).

Location! Location! Location! Great restaurants close by and in the heart of all of the action.
If you arrive by train it is a comfortable walk to get to and it is Only 1.5 flights of stairs going up. it is about 3 flights of stairs going down. (Which is super easy compared to some of the places you could stay)
The owner of the property is very helpful and nice!
It was a little confusing to get to the property when we first arrived. I would suggestion creating a guide to give guests with pictures.
Some nights were loud due to restaurant noise below.
