Location & what to see

The Sunrise is located in the heart of Riomaggiore, the southernmost village of the Cinque Terre, along the characteristic Scalinata della Tagliata, just a short walk from the sea and the network of alleys leading down to the small harbour. Check-in takes place at a second address, on Via Colombo, confirming the typically family-run and scattered structure that characterises the guest houses of the village.

Riomaggiore beach is about 200 metres away, while the village’s railway station is just 150 metres away, offering a direct and convenient connection to the other Cinque Terre villages and to La Spezia Centrale, around 12 km away. The Cinque Terre National Park practically begins right outside the property, at 450 metres, while the centre of La Spezia, with the Amedeo Lia Museum and San Giorgio Castle, can be reached in about 6-7 km. Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport is 69 km away, roughly an hour and a half by car.

Guests staying at The Sunrise can enjoy hiking along the scenic trails connecting Riomaggiore to Manarola, whose historic centre can also be reached by train in just a few minutes, or opt for the traditional walk to Punta Bonfiglio to watch the sunset over the sea. In summer, life centres around the small beach and boat excursions along the coast, while in autumn and winter the village becomes quieter and better suited to walks among the vineyard terraces. Several traditional restaurants are also just steps from the accommodation, convenient for dinner after a day of exploring.
