This is a gem of a place to stay. The view is unbelievable & the sound of the crashing waves below create a "white-out" sound that is relaxing and peaceful. The owner and her son are very friendly. Their concern with our needs was very nice and extremely genuine. This is THE place to stay in Riomaggiore. The son made... More

Just returned (May 2013) from perhaps the best experience we have ever had. When we entered our room At La Scogliera we were mesmerized.by its charm (and that means really charming charm). Awaiting us on our little kitchen table, was a welcome bottle of Paola's family wine and windows overlooking the sea which I immediately opened and hung out of... More

This is the second time we have stayed at La Scogliera and hopefully we will come again. Last time we stayed for three nights, this time eight nights and I wish it was longer. It is one of the best places we have ever stayed. The view of the harbour from all rooms of the apartment is mesmerising, it is... More

My husband and I are from California. It was our first time visiting and we found the place to be very clean and well maintained. The staff is very very friendly. We enjoyed our afternoons and mornings sitting on the small balcony overlooking the bay. It is relatively easy to get around the town from here once you get familiar... More

I can only recommend this apartment and the owners. Everything was very clean and the view from the balcony to the sea is breathtaking. We also enjoyed very much the lemon cake that Paolo has made for us. We will come back.

We had a recent short break in the apartment and were delighted with both the apartment and location and have no hesitation in recommending it. The apartment is very comfortable, with everything in good order. The real highlight is its location and its breathtaking views. The balcony is small but adequate and a real suntrap - getting the afternoon and... More

Cinque Terre was the first place I wanted to visit when I went to Europe from Canada. It was amazing and beautiful!! The man and his mother that own the apartment were very nice and friendly. The Limoncello was amazing! The apartment was just as expected and looked exactly like it does in the photos. My boyfriend and I loved... More

While this is a beautiful place and offers everything one needs, I don't think the average traveler, or those looking for luxury, will be satisfied. This is a EUROPEAN rental and there are some differences from a regular hotel or apartment elsewhere in the world. First of all, lets get one thing out of the way - steps, steps, steps!... More

We stayed 2 nights in March at the bottom room, which is the lowest and closest you can get to the sea. the view of the sea from the room window is very beautiful and romantic. The owner was very friendly, we locked ourselves out while it was raining, he offered us a glass of wine while he got the... More
