This really is a lovely spot to stay if you want to be away from the main street. Great clean rooms and amazing view but the steps are alot so make sure you are up for that. Host is very responsive and helpful.
I canât say enough greats things about the home, location & family we rented this place from. Genny & his father went above and beyond to accommodate us on our stay. From carrying luggage to our room to taxiing us to Positano, they did it all with a smile. The home is clean, spacious & beautiful! We would definitely stay there again.
What a beautiful stay! The property was spotless and the view was outstanding. We did 2 loads of laundry, enjoyed the kitchen and we were close to the main strip for shopping, meals and train accessibility. The hosts were beyond helpful and responsive numerous times. Our family of 4 loved this stay and we all got plenty of steps up and up and up to see the sea! Spectacular at night, too!
The view was incredible! The room was immaculate. Best of all we were met at the train station in La Spezia by Chiara and she rode with is to Rio Maggione and walked us up the hill to the room!!! That is what I call service!
The balcony allowed the enjoyment of stunning views, however, this place is located up on a hillside requiring a long uphill hike to an elevator and then up many flights of stairs to get to.
During our time there, a neighboring apartment was undergoing renovations which was noisy. But other than that⊠it was nice.
A spacious beautiful property in Riomaggiore. Be prepared for lots of stairs and walking but well worth it for the view. Over top the town and away from the noise but it is an easy descent from your tranquility to find some wine or a bite to eat. Returning is helped by an elevator that takes you part way up... or skip it and walk the extra steps as penance for all the good calamari you likely over indulged in. I would highly recommend this property (and the town of Riomaggiore) as a base for exploring and there are few available options at this price point and with these amenities. EXCELLENT value.
Wow - a perfect place for privacy, views, and comfort
Three adults stayed at Cinque Terre d'Amare for only two nights - and we wished we could have stayed longer. The apartment is large, clean, comfortable, well lit, and very modern - just as pictured in the listing. The location is a short walk from the train station, above San Giovanni Battista Church, and reached by elevator, ramps, and stairs - which we didn't mind one bit because it was gloriously quiet at night. We loved the deck and kitchen so much that we chose to eat take-away food both nights at the apartment - why spend time inside a restaurant when the view is so great? The beds were comfortable and the bath was clean and modern as well. The owner responded to our questions each time within an hour - which was very helpful. We used the train for all transportation and visited all five of the towns while staying, but we liked Rio Maggiore the best.
Overall we liked the home. The other reviewers were very accurate about the amount of stairs. There are a lot!! The home was as pictured. Did expect the balcony to be bigger.
Some feedback for improvement
Air conditioners were only in the bedroom and do not work very well. - some ice chunks fell out one morning
Hair dryer only blew cold air - messaged the property manager and they said they would bring a new one but never did
Lighting on the stairs leading to to home was
Not on at night. Made for interesting walks home in the dark after dinner
The space was a large two bedroom apartment with a beautiful view. We had a few issues with the heat, but the owner was very fast at responding and took care of everything fast. The only major downfall was the shower. Unfortunately, the place where we needed the luxury of a good shower the most (due to hiking all day), was ridiculously small. There are no hooks or any ledges to sit anything on. You could not turn around without brushing up against the handle and turning the water off. The shower door itself pulled IN similar to an airplane bathroom door providing even less space. If two couples stayed here, the bathroom situation would be a major challenge. We would not stay in this particular room again, only due to the shower. We WOULD; however, stay in another room from this owner provided that it has at least a standard sized shower. This was the same owner that was nice enough to allow us to shift our stay by one day to accommodate our travel delay.
We had a lovely stay in the accommodation. The weather was against us as we had unforeseen storms which meant all the paths were closed!
Hence, we spent more time than planned in the holiday house, fortunately it was very well equipped and we were able to cook as we would at home đđ. An excellent spot
Sehr schön eingerichtete Wohnung, die Bilder entsprechen der RealitĂ€t. Da die Wohnung in einem der höchst gelegenen HĂ€user liegt, muss man viel hoch und runter, dafĂŒr ist man vom Trubel ein bisschen weg. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter (nur online) war super. Insgesamt sehr empfehlenswert!
Wonderful views and very comfortable! You get a good workout going up all the stairs, but loved being on top of the hill and away from the crowds. Thank you!
Io e la mia famiglia abbiamo trascorso un piacevole soggiorno in questo appartamento comodo e spazioso per noi 4 adulti.
Appartamento pulito spazioso e con tutte le comoditĂ .
Non abbiamo mai incontrato i proprietari ma si sono dimostrati comunque disponibili e gentili.
The appartment was comfortable and plenty spacious for our family of two adults and two children. The view is spectacular. Just be aware that there is quite a climb up the hills and then the stairs to reach the unit. Loved it!
Overall the place was beautiful and wonderful for our needs. Great view and balcony was wonderful! Only 2 negatives were it was difficult to find and no parking. We needed to top at the top of the hill and take a shuttle bus. Iâm unsure why parking is not included as there was parking in front of all the buildings but perhaps a spot costs a lot every month so the owner decided not to bother.
We enjoyed our stay very much. Property is located at the top. Arianna was kind enough to meet us at the train station to show us the way, top notch service. The deck has a beautiful view of ocean & the mountains. We bought day passes recommended by Arianna; so thankful she did. Very useful & most cost effective. We visited all five villages, all have different charms. It was a wonderful stay for us.
This is an epic place. Location to this amazing town was perfect. Even has an elevator
Location has everything to make ones visit comfortable and pleasant
Provides little amenities like tea and coffee
Recommend this place

AWESOME place to stay... and that view from the balcony, WOW!
If I'm ever back in the Cinque Terre, I will definitely stay here again. Chiara went above and beyond to help make sure our stay was perfect. The apartment is a great size for a couple, two couples (one futon, one bed), or a small family. It is well equipped. It even has a washer, to wash your stinky clothes after long days of hiking.
It is located at the top of hill that allows you quick access to both sides of Riomaggiore. My only regret is that we didn't have more time to sit on the balcony.
Beautiful view, great place, must be able to climb steps but worth it, had to park up on the road.
Great place to experience Cinque Terre. This place is at the very top of the town with great views. The trade off is the steps but in my opinion worth the climb. Place was clean and comfortable and nicely furnished. Check in was easy enough. Small additional town tax to be paid. Good value. Town elevator works limited hours that helps with part of the climb. I recommend this place.No parking and town lot was full there is parking to drop off luggage but some distance.Had to park up on the road maybe 2km away. This place is better if you're traveling light. Big suitcases would be an issue.
We spent a week at 5 Terre dâAmare .... it was a great base for exploring CinqueTerre!! The apartment was clean, well equipped and spacious!! The beds were very comfortable! We appreciated being able to use the washing machine and dry our clothes outside! We loved sitting on the balcony to enjoy the view and listen to the sound of birds that seemed to surround us!! The apartment allowed us to escape from the mid day crowds that descend on Riomaggiore!! We did our exploring in the morning and at the end of the day. There are many stairs, but that is the nature of the area. We appreciated the breakfast treats left for us to enjoy. Chiara was quick to respond to our needs and any concerns were immediately addressed! The apartment was our favourite accommodation of all of the places we visited in Italy!
We were very nervous about this stay as we did not see any reviews. We also had a little difficulty connecting with chiara. We were SO pleased when we got to the apartment! Chiara is a sweetheart and her apartment is beautiful!! She had it all clean and fresh for us. She has lots of little extras that were very appreciated. The apartment has a little balcony that overlooks the city and the sea- gorgeous!! The views from the large living area and kitchen were amazing . I wish we could have stayed there longer it was our favorite place. You will not be disappointed with your stay at her apartment! The decor, flooring, artwork was all very pretty. This was a hidden gem that I hope someday to have the chance to go back to. Thank you chiara and it was our pleasure to meet you!
Thank you to Chiara for our perfect stay for our family of four. The apartment is well thought out regarding amenities and needs. It is creative, cozy & spacious. The balcony overlooks the town and has a beautiful partial sea view. We enjoyed the beautiful sunshine all day. Chiara provided tips on the town, traveling & restaurants. 5 stars for sure! Thank you, April
Hi i'm Manuel, i borned and growed up in Riomaggiore, where still my family is, now i work and live in La Spezia but i cannot stay without looking the view of the sea especially in sunset time. Get inside my house, i'll be glad to let you discover the real 5 terre land
it's a big apartment with a great position up to the Riomaggiore Castle overlook all the Riomaggiore village, it's a very quiet place. You have a big bedroom and big living room where you can have special dinner time. It has washmachine, dishmachine it's perfect for long stay.
