Alla Marina Affittacamere is a family-run guest house in Riomaggiore, Liguria, set in a building dating back to the mid-13th century and renovated in 2011, just a few steps from the village’s small harbour.
The rooms, furnished with contemporary white furniture and parquet floors, are air-conditioned and equipped with free WiFi, a flat-screen smart TV, minibar and private bathroom with hairdryer. Several room types offer views of the Ligurian Sea or the historic centre, and some feature extra single beds for families or small groups. In addition to the classic rooms, the property has two larger apartments, ideal for extended stays or larger groups, one of which has a private terrace.
