Path of Love, Riomaggiore hotel rooms at the Independent

"The most amazing breakfast buffet! The hotel employees got out of their way to make you comfortable. They held our luggage after we checked out so that we could continue to explore. It is located in the best of the 5 terrras! "

"We stayed at this beautiful property in late March, and I’ve been meaning to leave a well-deserved review ever since. The host was incredibly kind and thoughtful—he met us at the entrance of the village, helped us find parking, and even carried our luggage, which was especially appreciated given the walk to the property includes a few steps and a bit of a climb. But trust me, the moment you arrive, it’s all absolutely worth it. The view is simply breathtaking. From the terrace, you can see the endless ocean, the colorful buildings clinging to the cliffs across the bay, and hear the soothing sound of the waves below. It felt like stepping into a postcard. And the sunsets—wow. I’d call them million-dollar views without hesitation. Watching the sun dip below the horizon with such a dramatic backdrop was a highlight of our trip. If you’re looking for a peaceful, scenic stay in Riomaggiore with a warm and helpful host, this is the place. "

"I appreciated that the staff reached out to us to confirm our expected check-in time to ensure that arrangements were made in case it was after hours and self-check-in was required, which ended up being our situation. "

"Ready to help"

"Property was very nice with easy access and also a lot for luggage. AC worked great and there was a good sized shower. Great location close to the main promenade with plenty of dining options and also close to the train station. Also parking was very convenient at the train station as we had a large 9 seater mini-van. "

"Very nice hotel and comfortable beds. "

"Make sure not to try and walk to the property with baggage from the train station. Call a taxi (there are 3 in the village) as it’s a long way uphill to walk to. Other than that, loved the property, view and really nice staff!"

"Hotel was clean and breakfast was very good. Next to the train station and a short walk to Cinque Terre ferry. Only negative was the very small shower and lack of water pressure. Overall it was very good."

"L’hébergement est parfait! Situé en montagne, il apporte quiétude et une vue sublime sur la mer et le petit village. La randonnée menant au village est un peu exigeante par grande chaleur, mais réellement fantastique. Le personnel de cet hébergement est vraiment courtois, sympathique et a l’écoute de nos besoins. Le déjeuner offert le matin est vraiment délicieux et varié. Nous avons fait le sentier Azzuro en entier à partir de notre hébergement, en débutant de Vernazza à Riomaggiore, puis en prenant le train jusqu’à Monterosso et en poursuivant la randonnée jusqu’au retour à l’hébergement. Je recommande à 100%"
