What a little gem. Perched on the hill, inside the gated area of Riomaggiore, the terrace rooms have a slice of the sea view, and are extremely well equipped with outlets, mirrors in the right places, lighting, and overall comfort for a modest property in such a perfect location. Enrico's warm welcome, always present helping hand, advice, and free parking... More

We stayed in this hotel during our trip in Liguria, Italy. The hotel is clean, comfortable. There is always running hot water and there are some TV channels in English. Other than that do not expect a lot. But I think the room is value for money. The breakfast is amazing with pastries, cheese and a selection of hams. But... More

My Wife and I stayed at Locanda del Sole for two night, mid April 2013. It rained. That said, Cinque Terre is among the most exceptional Italian destinations we have visited and plan to visit again. Like most things Italian, the hotel is not new, but well maintained. The rooms are basic, but comfortable. The owner lives on site, which... More

The hotel is family owned and operated; the owner is nothing short of amazing. He is nothing short of amazing, so helpful with tours, the hiking trails, and ferry coordination. The hotel is one of very few that has parking in the Cinque Terre, and the drive in is not for the faint of heart. Once there, the hotel is... More

My husband and I stayed at Locanda del Sol for 2 nights in November 2012. The owner Enrico was friendly and helpful when it came to explaining the little town, how to get around, and available hiking. The room was simple but clean and comfortable. Nice little patio with table and umbrella that we sat out on with a bottle... More

My husband and I stayed here during our honeymoon in late August and had a wonderful time. After an intimidating drive to Cinque Terre from Lucca, we were thankful that Locanda del Sole has such a covenient parking spot for us. We stayed at the very stop (yes the stairs are a bit tiring, but all of Cinque Terre requires... More

We recently stayed at Locanda del Sole for three nights. Enrico was exceptionally friendly and helpful with advice for touring and local dining. Breakfast was quite nice, especially for a small hotel. This is a very quiet location--I'd think that the rooms on the main street might be noisy. Our room was basic but comfortable with a nice terrace. Riomaggiore... More

A traveler doesn't expect chic style and undisturbed comfort in a place like Riomaggiore, rather one would like to find a nice and convenient place for further exploration of the 5 Terra... In this case, Locanda del Sole is a great venue. Firstly, it has its own parking (you'll be amazed how important this is when you come to narrow,... More

After seeing numerous cars parked at the top of the hill with couples wondering around not sure what to do or where to go, we are SO glad we chose a hotel towards the top of the village and with free parking too! When we arrived, we spoke to Enrico for about 20 minutes about the area - he was... More
