Perfect stay in Riomaggiore. We got the ocean view studio and was pleasantly surprised with the view and location of the suite! The pictures online do not do this justice. Room was also very spacious and clean. Many shortcuts to different areas of the town. Andrea was super helpful :) would definitely recommend.

Wonderful home base in Cinque Terre
Sara was extremely welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and felt at home in the beautiful apartment. The location was perfect — close to everything. The stairs up to the apartment were steep but manageable, even after long days trekking in Cinque Terre. The terrace offered great views of the town, and we put the clothesline to use drying our laundry in the breeze. Thank you!

A lovely room to stay in Riomaggiore. The location was fantastic, right in the middle of everything yet quiet enough at night that I had no trouble sleeping.
Communication was easy through Whatsapp.

Amazing couples visit to cinque terre
Our host gave us thorough instructions about the studio as well as a map of the town and how to get around. The view from the room out to the sea was beautiful and overall extremely quiet. there were just occasional people walking by, it did not face toward the street. It was spacious with a lovely little kitchen. No A/C but had dehumidifier which worked well. I would absolutely recommend and come back again. Riomaggiore was a great base for us to see the other towns.

The room is lovely, we had a small balcony where we could eat our croissants and coffee in the morning. The bed is comfortable and bathroom with shower excellent. There are lots of flights of stone steps to get to the room and unfortunately we hadnt packed light so this is the ònly disadvantage of staying here, just bear that in mind when booking. Didnt stop an enjoyable stay, gorgeous place.

Communication was excellent and when checking in was shown the property and how things worked. Also was given plenty of useful information regarding Riomaggiore. Property is in a great spot in the main street of Riomaggiore. We loved the large balcony on which to have sunset drinks.

We were not informed when booking the property that there would be a possibility of construction on the building while we were staying there. There was scaffolding and workers around our unit every day we were there. I filed a formal complaint with Expedia. As it stands right now, we have not been compensated for this ridiculous inconvenience.

Can’t recommend Sottocoperta enough! The host was extremely helpful and the area couldn’t be better, right on the Main Street in Riomaggiore. Other villages are accessible by quick train, station is under 5 minutes away. Our room was perfect for our stay and very clean.

The owner was absolutely amazing and so helpful! The city was beautiful! The only caveat was the extremely steep stairs of the property. We climbed 3 flights with heavy luggage. The property owner was gracious and helped us! The bed and pillows weren’t comfortable so we cut our trip to Cinque Terre short. The townspeople weren’t friendly at all. We didn't feel welcomed. Again the owner was amazing.
