Location is among the aspects most appreciated by guests: Riomaggiore railway station is 200 metres away, the Cinque Terre National Park is 450 metres away, and several restaurants and ice cream parlours are just steps from the entrance.

All rooms share certain features: private bathroom with shower, air conditioning, flat-screen TV and a tea and coffee set with coffee machine, convenient for guests’ independence during their stay.
The main differences concern size, view and capacity. The Double Room with Terrace, at 14 sqm, offers a private terrace with sea view and is designed for up to four people thanks to the additional sofa bed. The two Standard Double Rooms, at 12 and 15 sqm, are more compact and suited to couples.
