Zia Rita is a guest house in Riomaggiore, in the heart of the Cinque Terre, about 300 meters from the local beach and the town’s train station. The entirely non-smoking property offers a simple, family-run atmosphere, designed for those looking for a practical base from which to explore the Ligurian villages without giving up good value for money.
The rooms are equipped with air conditioning, a wardrobe, a desk and an electric kettle, with a private bathroom complete with shower, bidet and hairdryer. One room type also offers a view of the village and a flat-screen TV, while the other is the more basic option for those who prioritize saving money.
The central location makes it possible to reach restaurants, the trail leading to the Cinque Terre National Park, and the train station on foot, with trains departing for Manarola and La Spezia. Guests traveling as a couple particularly appreciate the convenience of the area, ideal for getting around the five villages without needing a car.
Zia Rita offers two types of double rooms, both 14 square meters and designed for two people. Both feature air conditioning, a wardrobe, a desk and an electric kettle, as well as a private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer: practical amenities for a self-sufficient stay in the village.
The main difference lies in the level of comfort: the Double Room also includes a view of the village and a flat-screen TV, making it the more complete choice for those who want to enjoy glimpses of Riomaggiore even from their own room. The Economy Double Room keeps the same essential amenities but without these two extra features, making it the most suitable option for those who simply want a functional base, perhaps spending most of their time on the trails and beaches of the Cinque Terre.
A 14-square-meter double room with air conditioning, a wardrobe and a private bathroom with shower and bidet. It is the room type with a village view and flat-screen TV, details that set it apart from the property’s Economy option.
A double room the same size as the Standard, but with simpler furnishings: it lacks the city view and TV, which makes it the more affordable option between the two room types offered by the property. It still features a private bathroom with shower and bidet, a wardrobe and an electric kettle.
Zia Rita focuses on a practical offering that takes care of the essential details of a stay. All rooms have a private bathroom with shower, bidet, hairdryer and toilet paper, as well as a wardrobe or closet and an electric kettle for those who want to make a hot drink on their own.
On a general level, the property offers daily housekeeping, luggage storage and air conditioning in every room, especially useful during the hotter months along the coast. The entire guest house is non-smoking, a choice that helps keep the rooms always tidy.
Among the services most appreciated by guests are precisely the private bathroom, the shower and the possibility of leaving luggage in storage, convenient for those arriving by train who want to start exploring the Cinque Terre trails right away without the weight of a backpack.
Zia Rita is located in the heart of Riomaggiore, the easternmost village of the Cinque Terre, in one of the colorful houses climbing along the valley toward the sea. The most characteristic part of the area is pedestrian-only, lively with narrow alleys, shops selling local products and small restaurants lined up almost side by side.
Riomaggiore’s beach is about 300 meters away, reached by walking down toward the small harbor, while the town’s train station is at the same distance and connects within a few minutes to the other Cinque Terre villages: Manarola is 1 km away, and La Spezia Centrale can be reached by train in about 12 km along the coastal route. The entrance to the Cinque Terre National Park is just 200 meters from the property, the starting point for hikes along the famous scenic trails. For those arriving by plane, Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport is about 69 km away.
Just a few steps from the accommodation, about 20 meters away, are some of the village’s most popular restaurants, such as Old School Riomaggiore-Cocktails & Food, Primo Piatto and Britta, ideal for a seafood dinner after a day of trekking. In summer the area comes alive with swimming and walks along the Via dell’Amore, while in autumn and winter the area is suited to quieter walks among the vineyard terraces, with views of Castello San Giorgio and the historic center of La Spezia, both about 6-12 km away.
Guests especially praise the location, rated 9.7 and particularly appreciated by couples, along with the staff’s hospitality (9.1) and room comfort (8.9). Cleanliness and services score solidly, while value for money, though good, receives slightly lower ratings.
