Location & what to see

MarMar is located in the heart of Riomaggiore, the southernmost village of the Cinque Terre, in a typical Ligurian building just steps from the small harbor and the narrow alleys leading down to the sea. The area retains the authentic character of fishing villages, with colorful houses perched on the rock and an atmosphere that changes little between high and low season, remaining lively from June to September.

Riomaggiore’s beach is 300 meters away, while the town’s train station is about 200 meters away, a significant advantage for those who want to travel along the coast without a car: Manarola is less than 1 km away, and Vernazza and Monterosso can be reached in a few minutes by train. La Spezia Centrale, with its connections to Genoa and Pisa, is about 12 km away, while Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport is 69 km away.

The Cinque Terre National Park, 350 meters from the property, is the starting point for the famous Sentiero Azzurro (Blue Trail), best walked in spring and autumn when temperatures are milder. In summer, the main draw remains the sea, with rocky coves reachable on foot or by boat. In La Spezia, half an hour by train, you can visit the Castello San Giorgio and the Amedeo Lia Museum, while wine and food lovers will find nearby cellars and paths through the terraced vineyards typical of the area.
