ALLA RIPA di RIO is a guest house in Riomaggiore, in the heart of the Cinque Terre National Park, just 350 metres from the village beach and about 300 metres from the local train station.
The property has three air-conditioned, soundproofed double rooms, designed mainly for couples visiting the Cinque Terre: each one is equipped with a private bathroom with bidet, desk, coffee machine, electric kettle, refrigerator, safe and flat-screen TV, with bed linen and towels always included. Some rooms enjoy a sea view or a view over the village, a detail not to be taken for granted in this part of the town perched on the coast.
Guests have access to a shared terrace and free WiFi throughout the property, while pets are not allowed and the entire property is non-smoking. The location, rated 9.3 by guests, makes it possible to walk to the village’s restaurants and bars in just a few minutes, with Manarola and La Spezia easily accessible by train.
ALLA RIPA di RIO offers three double rooms, all air-conditioned, soundproofed and with a private bathroom featuring a bidet and free toiletries. Each room includes a patio, flat-screen TV with cable channels, coffee machine, electric kettle, refrigerator, safe and desk: a setup designed for comfortable stays of several days among the Cinque Terre trails.
What differentiates the three room types are mainly the size and the view: the Superior Double Room, the most sought-after, overlooks the sea and the village with its 22 sqm; the Standard Double Room, at 20 sqm, looks towards the historic centre; the Economy Double Room, the largest at 24 sqm, favours interior space over the view. All accommodate up to two people with one double bed, ideal for couples.
The Superior is the room with the most striking view in the property: it overlooks the sea, the village of Riomaggiore and a local point of interest. At 22 sqm, it is air-conditioned, soundproofed and features a private patio, a bathroom with bidet, a coffee machine and a flat-screen TV. It’s the ideal choice for those who don’t want to give up the view.
More compact than the Superior but still overlooking the village, the Standard is the most balanced room in terms of space and view. It features air conditioning, a patio, a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV and a coffee machine, with soundproofed walls that ensure a good night’s rest even on the village’s liveliest evenings.
The Economy is, surprisingly, the largest room in the property at 24 sqm, despite being the most affordable rate: it doesn’t offer a particular view but makes up for it with more available space. Air-conditioned and soundproofed, it features a patio, a private bathroom and a flat-screen TV with cable channels.
ALLA RIPA di RIO focuses on essential but well-kept comforts: all rooms are air-conditioned and soundproofed, with a private patio, safe and coffee machine, while the entire property is non-smoking and free of annoying sound barriers thanks to the marble and tiled flooring and centralised heating.
Guests have access to a shared terrace with outdoor furniture, ideal for enjoying the Ligurian climate, and a security system with CCTV outside the property and fire extinguishers. Free WiFi is available throughout the property, as are cable channels on the flat-screen TV in every room.
Nothing is missing in the room for guests’ independence: an electric kettle, refrigerator, free toiletries, hairdryer and bidet complete a setup designed for practical stays, even in a village where restaurants are just steps from the door.
ALLA RIPA di RIO is located in the centre of Riomaggiore, the easternmost village of the Cinque Terre, perched on the Ligurian cliffs among narrow alleys and colourful houses overlooking the sea. The property is just 350 metres from Riomaggiore beach and 200 metres from the entrance to the Cinque Terre National Park, while the village’s restaurants and bars, such as Primo Piatto and Pizzeria da Mam’Angela, are just 50 metres away.

La Spezia Centrale, with its connections to Genoa and Pisa, is about 12 km away, while Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport is about 69 km away, an hour and a half by car.
Some of the most famous trails of the Cinque Terre National Park start from here, best walked in spring and autumn when the climate is milder; in summer the area comes alive with swimming in the small rocky coves and boat trips to Manarola and Vernazza. In La Spezia, just a few kilometres away, you can visit the San Giorgio Castle and the Amedeo Lia Museum, while naval history enthusiasts will find the Technical Naval Museum, about 6 km from the property, interesting.
