Hotel Villa Argentina is a 2-star property in Riomaggiore, within the Cinque Terre National Park, about a 10-minute walk from the village’s train station.
The main rooms are compact but functional, equipped with flat-screen satellite TV, private bathroom and air conditioning; some room types offer a balcony and views over the Ligurian Sea, a distinctive feature compared to the simpler accommodations at the back of the hotel. Besides the classic rooms, the property offers a separate building with studio apartments and apartments up to 80 sqm, with their own kitchen, designed for families or groups wanting more independence during their stay.
Buffet breakfast can also be served in the room, while an on-site bar and café complete the dining offer. The location makes it possible to reach typical restaurants and Riomaggiore beach on foot in a few minutes, while the other Cinque Terre villages, such as Manarola and Monterosso, are easily reached by train or boat. La Spezia is about 20 minutes by car, a convenient base for those who want to combine sea and culture during their holiday in Liguria.
Hotel Villa Argentina offers a fairly wide range of solutions, from standard double rooms of 12-15 sqm to studio apartments and independent apartments in a separate building, suited to those seeking more space or wanting to cook independently. All main rooms have a private bathroom, air conditioning and flat-screen TV, with free WiFi in every accommodation.
Among the room types, the Double Room with Sea View stands out, with a balcony and views over the Ligurian Sea, while those travelling with more people can choose the Triple Room or the studio apartments with a kitchenette, designed for longer stays. The apartments in the separate building, up to 80 sqm with two or three bedrooms, a full kitchen and dining area, are aimed at large families or small groups wanting to share a common space while still staying close to the village centre.
The Standard Double Room is the most compact option in the hotel, designed for two people. It has a fan, flat-screen satellite TV and private bathroom, with free WiFi included. The bed type must be specified at the time of booking.
Slightly larger than the Standard, the Triple Room combines a single bed with a double bed, making it suitable for small groups or families with one child. It also has a private bathroom and free WiFi.
The only one among the main rooms to offer a balcony and view over the Ligurian Sea, this double room also comes with a minibar, a detail that sets it apart from the hotel’s other standard accommodations.
The largest accommodation available, with 80 sqm spread over three bedrooms, a kitchen, sofa and dining area in a building separate from the main hotel. Ideal for large families or groups of up to six people looking for shared spaces.
A smaller version of the three-bedroom apartment, with two double bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen with oven and hob, a bathroom with shower and city views, plus a safe and cable TV.
Studio apartment with a kitchenette equipped with a stove and refrigerator, designed for those who want to cook independently. The private bathroom includes a shower, bidet and hairdryer, while the furnishings include a wardrobe and heating.

Double room in the separate building, air-conditioned and with a private bathroom complete with shower, bidet and toiletries. Cosier than the apartments, but with all the essential comforts for a couple.
Hotel Villa Argentina offers services designed both for those staying in the classic rooms and for those opting for the independent accommodations in the separate building. General services include a terrace, daily housekeeping, luggage storage, safe and air conditioning, while non-smoking rooms are available for those who wish; please note that the upper floors are accessible only via stairs.
For dining, the property has an on-site café, bar and the possibility of requesting menus for special diets, as well as a wine and champagne offering. Every room is equipped with a private bathroom, shower or bathtub, hairdryer and complimentary bathroom products, while flat-screen TV and internet connection are guaranteed throughout the property.
Guests arriving by car can rely on a garage, useful given the layout of the village of Riomaggiore, where free parking spaces are scarce. Overall, the services are geared towards practicality during the stay rather than luxury, in line with the simple and authentic character of the property.
Hotel Villa Argentina is located in the centre of Riomaggiore, the easternmost village of the Cinque Terre, just steps from the heart of the village and from the Cinque Terre National Park, which is only 100 metres away. The area retains the typical character of the Ligurian villages, with colourful houses nestled between the rock and the sea, narrow alleys and an authentic atmosphere far from the mass tourism of the larger centres along the coast.
Riomaggiore train station is about 400 metres away, convenient for reaching the other Cinque Terre villages such as Manarola, whose station is just over a kilometre away, within minutes. La Spezia, with its historic centre and main transport links, can be reached in about 20 minutes by car. Those arriving by plane can refer to Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport, about 69 km away. Nearby there are several typical restaurants, such as Pizzeria da Mam’Angela 50 metres away and Primo Piatto 150 metres away, as well as Riomaggiore beach 400 metres away.
During spring and summer, the area is ideal for hikes along the coastal paths connecting the five villages, while in autumn and winter the village becomes quieter, perfect for those seeking a slower pace and wanting to calmly visit the museums of La Spezia, such as the Amedeo Lia Museum, or San Giorgio Castle, both about 6 km away.
Guests particularly appreciate the courtesy of the staff (9.1) and the location (8.4), especially valued by couples. Cleanliness and comfort also score well, while the value for money, although positive, is the relatively lower aspect among the categories rated.
