CAST AWAY is a guest house in Riomaggiore, in the heart of the Cinque Terre, just 300 metres from the village beach and a short walk from the train station connecting the village to the rest of Liguria.
The property offers three types of double room, all air-conditioned and equipped with a private bathroom with bidet, a desk, a coffee machine, a fridge, a safe and a flat-screen TV. Some rooms open onto a balcony or a private terrace, others offer views of the village of Riomaggiore: a choice designed especially for couples, who rate the location 9.8. Sheets and towels are provided in every room, WiFi is free throughout the property, and all rooms are non-smoking.
Riomaggiore, the first of the five villages that give their name to the Cinque Terre National Park, is ideal for walks along the coast, bike excursions and snorkelling trips among the nearby coves. La Spezia, with its museums and historic centre, can be reached in just a few minutes by train from Riomaggiore station.
CAST AWAY offers three double rooms of about 28 square metres, designed to accommodate up to two people. All feature air conditioning, a private bathroom with bidet and hairdryer, a desk, a coffee machine, a fridge, a safe, a flat-screen TV and soundproofed walls, with sheets and towels already included.
The differences mainly concern the views and outdoor spaces: the Double Room with Private Bathroom is the most essential option, with no balcony or open view; the Deluxe Double Room with Sea View adds a balcony and a private terrace; the Large Double Room, on the other hand, stands out for its view of the rooftops and the village of Riomaggiore. In all cases the entrance is independent, a detail that guarantees greater autonomy and privacy during the stay.
The most essential room in the property: air-conditioned, with a private bathroom featuring a bidet and hairdryer, a desk and a coffee machine. Unlike the other two room types, it has no balcony or open view, but it remains a complete and quiet option thanks to the soundproofed walls.
Compared to the other rooms, this Deluxe room is the only one with a balcony and a private terrace, ideal for those who want to enjoy the Cinque Terre air without leaving the room. Air-conditioned and with a private bathroom, it retains the same basic amenities but adds outdoor space as its distinctive feature.
Despite having the same size as the other two rooms, this room stands out for its view of the rooftops and the village of Riomaggiore, visible from the window. A private bathroom, air conditioning and soundproofing complete a room designed for those looking for a view over the village rather than the sea.
The common areas of CAST AWAY include a panoramic terrace and an independent entrance for each room, in a fully non-smoking property with marble or tiled floors and heating included. WiFi is free throughout the property, while rooms and common areas are equipped with a carbon monoxide detector and a safe for valuables.
Guests staying at CAST AWAY can independently arrange walking or cycling tours, lessons on local culture and live music shows, as well as water activities such as snorkelling, scuba diving and canoe excursions in the waters of the Cinque Terre. Every room has a kettle for tea and coffee, handy for a relaxing moment after a day spent among trails and villages. Please note that the upper floors are accessible only via stairs, with no lift.
CAST AWAY is located in the historic centre of Riomaggiore, the easternmost village of the Cinque Terre, perched among the colourful houses that descend towards the small harbour. The property is just 200 metres from Riomaggiore beach and 350 metres from the entrance of the Cinque Terre National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, in a pedestrian area lively with restaurants and gelaterias such as Gelateria Zenzero and Costevè Friggitoria, just steps from the property.
Getting around is made easy by the proximity to Riomaggiore train station, just 200 metres away, which connects in just a few minutes to the other villages of the Cinque Terre, including Manarola, whose station is about 900 metres away. La Spezia, with its historic centre, San Giorgio Castle and the Amedeo Lia and Technical Naval museums, is about 6 km away. For those arriving by plane, Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport is 69 km away.
The famous Sentiero Azzurro (Blue Path) starts in Riomaggiore, connecting the five villages along the coast, and can be walked or ridden by mountain bike in the warmer months. In summer the clear waters invite snorkelling and diving among the nearby coves, while in spring and autumn hiking through the terraced vineyards offers glimpses of the sea. Some also choose kayaking or canoeing to discover the coast from the water, with departures that can be organised directly from the village.
