Flawless meetup with an escort to the apartment. Landmarks were pointed out so we could find our way there again. Sara was great at explaining an alternative route to the Riomaggiore train station which was much more scenic than the tunnel. Sara informed us of a beautiful church, Santuario di Nostra Signora di Montenero, and their schedule of events for the weekend. It was a challenging hike up to it, but the views from its vantage point above Riomaggiore were great. Sara had a great recommendation for a sunset boat tour. The Riomaggiore Guest Card allowed us to walk on the via dell'Amore several times in both directions without a timed entry slot. The public terrace just steps from the apartment door is a great place to watch the sunset over the water. I learned to use the Moka stovetop expresso pot with the ground coffee provided.

Check-in made very easy thanks to Sara meeting and guiding us to the property; wonderful ocean view with a viewpoint just outside your doorstep; cozy and comfortable for couples!

Nothing

Sara, our host, is the most gracious welcoming and friendly lady. She met us just outside the pedestrian walkway from the train station to show us where the supermarket was and various places of interest, then took us to the apt. Spacious with everything we needed. And the view from the big picture window was just beautiful. The location is perfect too. Would definitely stay again.

There was nothing we didn’t like but I will say unbeknown to us it was a public holiday weekend and extremely busy. As the apt is right on the main coastal path it was noisy with people walking past laughing and talking until the wee hours of both Saturday and Sunday mornings. But what a difference a day makes after the weekend - was so nice and quiet with just a few people using the path and admiring the view.
