Locus Amoenus is located in the heart of Riomaggiore, the easternmost village of the Cinque Terre, in a position that allows you to reach the sea on foot in just a few minutes: Riomaggiore’s beach is only 150 metres away, while the Cinque Terre National Park begins practically 400 metres from the property. The characteristic lanes, with colourful houses perched over the sea, are the setting surrounding the accommodation.
Riomaggiore railway station is about 200 metres away, convenient for travelling along the line connecting the five villages and reaching La Spezia in just a few minutes; from there, trains also depart for Pisa, whose Galileo Galilei Airport is about 69 km away. San Giorgio Castle and the Technical Naval Museum, both in La Spezia, are about 6-14 km away. Just steps from the property there are also restaurants such as Osteria Maitè, Il Grottino and Trattoria Bar la Grotta, all within a few metres.
In summer the area is ideal for hiking along the scenic trails connecting Riomaggiore to Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso, as well as for swimming in the small rocky coves along the coast. In the cooler months, on the other hand, Riomaggiore is perfect for quiet walks through the carruggi and visits to local wineries, known for producing Sciacchetrà, the sweet wine typical of the Cinque Terre.
