    Kids were hoping for a hammock as in the photo but none in place. Nevertheless still lovely stay with a beautiful view. 10 out of 10 :-)

    Lovely studio. Separate access to private terrace just a few steps away from the flat. Good coffee machine, clean place. Lovely, charming studio in the heart of Riomaggiore. Keys were passed to us by a lovely lady Andrea, who explained all to us. Really liked the recycling bins being put in place considering the place being green. Good air-conditioning in place. Thank you for a lovely stay.

    The room is very large and has everything you need, especially as there is a large private terrace overlooking the sea. The bathroom is large with a nice shower, bidet & window. The view from our private terrace was gorgeous, as advertised. Sleeping to the sound of gentle waves and waking up to the quiet of the cliff life on the Mediterranean Sea is priceless. The best is experiencing Riomaggiore once all the daily tourist’s boats are gone. Great service from Andrea and her team, there when needed but fully respectful of my privacy. We would highly recommend this place to anyone staying in Riomaggiore or Cinque Terre.

    The location was top-notch, just steps down to the beach. And with the perfect views of Riomaggiore spots for picture-taking. The sea-view from our private terrace was mind-blowing! Exactly as pictured in their Booking.com page. The owners, Michele and Andrea, were very kind, helpful and very accommodation to our needs. The room was clean, bright, and comfortable. You cannot beat the view of row boats waiting to be taken out onto the water and the cute little Cinque Terre houses side by side. Highly recommend due to friendly host, location, and comfort.

    If you’re planning a visit to Riomaggiore, do yourself a favor and stay at SailorsRest, and stay as long as you can! This apartment offers one of the most stunning views in town, overlooking the colorful houses and the Ligurian Sea. Waking up to that view every morning was truly magical. The apartment itself is charming, clean, and well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. It’s the perfect combination of authentic local character and modern convenience. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet breakfast on the private terrace or sipping wine at sunset, the atmosphere here is simply unforgettable. The location is ideal: peaceful and scenic, yet just a short walk from the village center, restaurants, shops, and the train station. It’s the perfect base for exploring the Cinque Terre. Highly recommended. We didn’t want to leave, and we can’t wait to come back!

    We are just about to finish our stay in SailorsRest and it is a 10/10 location. Not only are the views incredible from every point, the staff and attention to detail is fantastic. Get the private terrace with the best view of Riomaggiore to yourself and the ability to truly relax. Andrea is brilliant. Easy to communicate with via WhatsApp and the parking is also very convenient as well! Cannot recommend SailorsRest Riomaggiore enough!

    It is hard to imagine a better location than this. Located right in the heart of the picture postcard Cinque Terre village of Riomaggiore, the rooms and terrace provide gorgeous views over the village and the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. The room was lovely and little extras like a free mini bar and bottle of Prosecco on arrival made us feel very welcome. We cannot recommend SailorsRest enough as the perfect small hotel for a relaxing hideaway which is at the same time just metres away from the hustle and bustle of the charming village of Riomaggiore.

    We absolutely loved our stay at Sailor’s Rest. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the train station, yet tucked away enough to feel quiet and relaxing. The room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed. You can tell a lot of care went into every detail. The private terrace was the highlight offering a breathtaking view over the colorful rooftops and the sea. It was the perfect spot for morning coffee or a glass of wine at sunset. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and responsive, offering great tips for local restaurants and hiking trails. Waking up to the peaceful vibe of the village was a dream. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

    This accommodation in Riomaggiore was an absolute highlight of our trip to the Cinque Terre. The private terrace is simply breathtaking, perched high above the village with an uninterrupted panoramic view of the sea, it's the perfect spot to relax with a glass of wine and watch one of the most spectacular sunsets we've ever seen. Photos truly don’t do it justice. You have to see it to believe it. Inside, the apartment was spotless and beautifully maintained. The bed was very comfortable, and we slept wonderfully. The bathroom was modern, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The entire space felt fresh, bright, and thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience. We also appreciated all the little touches, from the crisp linens to the soft towels and the well-stocked kitchenette. It’s clear that the hosts truly care about their guests’ experience. If you're looking for a magical, peaceful stay in Riomaggiore with a view that will stay with you forever, this is the place. We can't recommend it enough and would come back in a heartbeat!

    SailorsRest is pure magic. The highlight of our stay was without a doubt the incredible view, absolutely stunning! From the moment we stepped onto the private terrace, we were blown away by the panoramic vista of Riomaggiore’s colorful rooftops and the endless blue of the sea. We spent every morning and evening just gazing out, soaking in the beauty. It felt like a dream. The apartment itself was charming, spotless, and thoughtfully decorated with coastal touches that gave it a cozy, authentic feel. Everything we needed was there, but honestly – it was the view that stole our hearts. The location is perfect. Close enough to everything (restaurants, train station, marina), yet quiet and peaceful. And the host was incredibly kind, responsive, and gave us great tips for enjoying the Cinque Terre like a local. If you’re looking for a romantic, scenic escape with one of the best views in Riomaggiore, SailorsRest is it. We’re already dreaming of coming back.dreaming of coming back.dreaming of coming back.

    Arriving in Riomaggiore was like walking into a fairytale. SailorsRest was our favorite stay of our entire Italy vacation. The spectacular views of the beautiful sea and stunning sunsets were enjoyed from our room as well as from the private terrace where you can sit and relax away from the crowds. The outdoor garden was a wonderful place to soak our tired legs while admiring the view after a busy day. Staying here allowed us unlimited access to walk the Via dell’Amore in both directions. If we are ever in the area again we would book this place instantly! ❤️❤️

    We loved this beautiful, modern and spotless room overlooking the harbor and town. The room is large enough with a large closet & everything you need, especially as there is a private large terrace overlooking the sea. The bathroom is large with a nice shower, bidet & window. The bed was very comfortable, and coffee/tea/water & biscotti were provided in the room. Andrea was a delightful host who met us at the train & carried our luggage up the many stairs, and was always available for questions. We would highly recommend this place to anyone staying in Cinque Terre!

    The kitchen was in general well equipped but some basics as salt, pepper and oil were missing. Little things but would make it much easier. The terrace was very nice but important to know, the terrace and the Apartment are not directly connected (few stairs). The apartment is quite dark but we liked it and it was very comfortable.

    One tiny window, a bit of odor of mildew. One coffee and one croissant is NOT considered "breakfast" anywhere in the world, especially for foreign tourists. Simply say price does NOT include breakfast and then no expectations.

    Location excellent. Facilities very good. Bathroom and kitchen great. Amazing terrace with view and spectacular sunsets.

    The terrance advertised is not the terrance guests have access to. The one advertised with unobstructed views, dining table and hammock is on a higher floor, under construction and not accessible to guests. The one available to guests is on lower floor with views obstructed by bush and building, no hammock and a lot smaller.

    I didn't like that the owners constantly emailed us asking for more information. Several times a day while we were on vacation (right before we arrived here). And once we answered them, they would ask for something else. Also, they made a big deal about my 1 year old baby not being on the original booking and tried charging me for him when other hotels said they have to be over two. Several more emails were sent! Lastly I will say this, one of the reasons we booked this place was for the beautiful view. False advertising! The terrace is not even connected to this room (you have to walk up 40 stairs to get to it and it's falling apart). It looks like it hasn't been used in years, they even referred us to use a nearby terrace that is not as nice. Stay somewhere else!

    The booking.com info is not correct. It is a sutterain Appartment, very humid and not really something for a romantic stay. There is only a small window . The sea view as you expect you only have from the terrace-but this terrace is not connected to the Appartment-you have to take some stairs - and you have to close your Appartment. Not a big issue, but misleading on booking.com

    The overall asset is the terrace.. this pays for everything… amazing is the minimum I can say.. buy something to drink and eat in the town and enjoy it on the terrace..
