Claudio was the perfect host. He arranged parking for us just outside the village, met us there & walked us to the apartment via a shortcut to avoid stairs with our luggage. The apartment has been completely remodeled with high end finishes throughout. The kitchen is small but equipped w brand new dishes, glasses, utensils & even a few pots & pans. The air conditioning in the bedrooms made it very comfortable. But the real reason to rent this apartment is the view. Absolutely stunning! Note: as with any village in Cinque Terre you will need to navigate steep stone stairs to get from the apartment to the village. Totally worth it!
Absolutely gorgeous view and very well appointed home
This was my favorite view to wake up to in the morning. We had everything we needed, the beds were super comfortable, and the kitchen was well appointed. Be prepared to climb a lot of stairs, but the view is worth it. Highly recommend!
Property was as advertised and very nice. However, there were very limited towels, dishtowels, supplies, trash capacity despite not cooking once or bringing groceries into the apartment.We had an enjoyable stay despite one full day of rain.Thanks!
What a beautiful spot in Riomaggiore. The views are spectacular and the place has everything you could need. Claudio was very attentive to questions and always available. I would stay here again for sure.
The place is lovely and clean. Claudio is very helpful and the view is magnificent. Only drawbacks, no seating area between the rooms and many stairs to climb with luggage. Consider a porter. Roberto was wonderful!
The apartment was as beautiful as it appeared in the listing. Could not ask for more. The steps leading to the apartment were a bit of a struggle with the luggage, but it was well worth the effort, and after a few days we came to enjoy the exercise. The property manager met us at the train station and guided us to the property. It was very nice to start the visit that way. There were several occasions we needed to contact them, and they were very responsive. We left feeling very privileged to have stayed there.
The Climb and The Vista are always together. We climbed those many stairs with hospitable, efficient, thorough Claudio ahead as our guide. By the end of the week we could do the climb blindfolded ("turn left at the tiny herb garden"; you'll see what this means).
Those sunsets seen out the apartment window were a special thing, and we all sat and watched, happy we had chosen this very special apartment for our stay. If this was once in a lifetime, it was a time and place well chosen.
My wife and I traveled with another couple and we loved spending 4 days in Cinque terra! The food and the locals are worth the trip to this rather remote area. We enjoyed our stay at this property and the owner was very helpful and communicative. I would recommend this property and Riomaggiore!
Sunset Garden Apartment First Impression Was Delightful
Our 3 nights and 4 days at the Sunset Garden Apartment was an exceptional stay to explore Cinque Terreâs coastal beauty and wonderful hiking trails. This accommodation is a must and very satisfying for all 5 of us. Our hosts Claudio and Roberto were very helpful and responsive to all of our requests. Grazie! đ·đźđčâ€ïž
Loved our stay here. Family of 4 with 2 teenagers. Check in with Claudio was easy and convenient. He met us at the train station and walked with us to the apartment. Since it is Cinque Terre there are stairs. I believe it is 96 steps up to the apartment. That is all part of the fun! I had my 2 teenagers to help with our bags. Others may wish to arrange a Porter.
Apartment itself is lovely. 2 wonderful bedrooms with excellent views. Kitchen is nice and reasonably equipped. Outside patio is lovely also with a nice view. Would be even nicer with an oceanfront glass railing.
As others have mentioned the apartment does not have a central living room, just the bedrooms and the kitchen. Not a deal breaker but just be aware.
AC works very well (visited in July) but note it turns off when you remove the room card to leave. Closing the shutters when you leave helps keep the apartment cool while you are out and exploring.
Wonderful location with views and amazing property
Claudio and Roberta are super friendly and responsive. They've done an amazing job with renovating the apartment which had amazing views of the sea and the village. Very close to the main street so easy access to coffee shops and restaurants. Will definitely stay here again when we visit next time!
Fairy tail view of the Ligurian sea, mountains, and the colorful sun splashed homes of RioMaggiore. Absolutely beautiful view from both bedroom windows, the best view in the town for sunset whether in winter or summer. Perfectly clean and well decorated and new and bright. So comfortable. Great location for exploring the town and the other 4 cities. Very pleasant and helpful manager who recommended great restaurants. Book this apartment before it gone.
We absolutely loved this property!!! The view was beyond stunning from both rooms. Extremely clean and very elegant. The kitchen was very well equipped and the entire apartment looks newly updated. The beds were very comfortable and the twin beds were real beds not sleeper sofas.Thereâs a lovely sitting area outside surrounded with the citrus trees overlooking the sea. Itâs a few minutes walk to the train station, the marina and the Main street. The host was very courteous and waited for us at the train station. The only thing I would advice is to pack very light because thereâs a little bit over a hundred narrow steps to reach the property, or you could arrange with Roberto ahead of time to have a porter to help with the bags. I would definitely recommend this property.
Really enjoyed our stay. Location was great. Beautiful view from the apartment
Very close to the train and the Main Street of riomaggiore. Good home base for cinque terre
Lovely accommodations and stunning views from the property. We suggest you use the local porter for baggage if you have large bags. Also, it can be a challenging location for anyone not prepared for steep stairways. Highly recommended location for a group of 4.
Right when we walked into the apartment, we knew this place was special. The views out of the bedroom windows were stunning! We were traveling as two couples and we had our privacy. The outdoor seating was fabulous. Yes there are stairs, but all of the apartments will have them. Claudio was very responsive. You will love staying here.
