Location & what to see

Malbo is located in the village of Riomaggiore, the easternmost town of the Cinque Terre, perched on the rocky coast of Liguria within the National Park of the same name. The colourful houses, steep alleys and small fishing harbours characterise this village, where daily life still revolves around the sea and artisanal fishing.

Riomaggiore beach is about 100 metres from the property, while the town’s railway station is 250 metres away, convenient for travelling to the other Cinque Terre villages – Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso – with the regional train connecting them in just a few minutes. La Conchiglia restaurant and Gelateria Sottozero are just steps from the entrance, while the historic centre of La Spezia, with the San Giorgio Castle and its museums, is about 6-7 km away. For those arriving by plane, Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport is the nearest reference point, about 69 km away.

Riomaggiore is the ideal point from which to walk along the park’s scenic trails, such as the famous stretch leading towards Manarola. In summer, the crystal-clear sea and coves reachable on foot or by boat attract swimmers from all over Italy, while in spring and autumn the area is well suited to long walks among terraced vineyards and olive groves, with views over the Ligurian Sea. La Spezia, with its museums and seafront, remains convenient for a half-day trip.

Riomaggiore Beach — the village beach, just steps from the property 100 m
Riomaggiore Railway Station — direct rail connection to the other Cinque Terre villages 250 m
Cinque Terre National Park — protected area with scenic trails along the coast 450 m
San Giorgio Castle — medieval fortress with views over La Spezia and the gulf 6 km

Reviews particularly reward the host’s hospitality, rated with the maximum score, and the location, highly appreciated by couples with 9.9. Comfort and cleanliness also receive very high marks. WiFi, although free, receives a lower score, probably due to the connection not always being stable in the village.
