Hotel Due Gemelli is a family-run 3-star hotel located on a hill amid pine forests and vineyards above Riomaggiore, in the heart of the Cinque Terre, 300 metres from the Cinque Terre National Park.
The property is ideal for those seeking tranquillity and authentic views away from the crowds of the coastal villages, while still staying close to the sea: all rooms enjoy views of the sea or the surrounding garden. The accommodations, four room types ranging from 14 to 18 sqm, feature private bathroom, air conditioning, flat-screen TV and, in most cases, a private balcony or terrace.
A continental buffet breakfast is served every morning, while free parking and WiFi are included in the stay. The area is not served by public transport, so arriving with your own vehicle is the most practical choice: Riomaggiore railway station is about 5 km away, and La Spezia is 9 km away. Pets are allowed for a surcharge, making the hotel a convenient base for those travelling with their dog too.
The four room types at Hotel Due Gemelli share a private bathroom, air conditioning and flat-screen TV with cable channels, but differ in size, view and distinctive features. The Double Room with Sea View and the Superior, both with sea views, offer a private balcony or terrace; the Superior, the largest at 18 sqm, adds soundproofing and a minibar. The Standard combines a single bed and a double bed, useful for small groups or families with a child.
The Economy Double Room stands out from the others for its garden view instead of a sea view, independent entrance and minibar, making it a more private and secluded choice. In all rooms the maximum occupancy is two people, with the possibility of accommodating a child in some room types. The variety of bed configurations, including alternatives between a double bed and single beds, allows the choice to be tailored to the needs of couples, families and small groups visiting the Cinque Terre.
