- Located in a charming village full of pastel-colored houses stacked into a cliff above the ocean

Bottom Line
Built into a cliff overlooking the ocean, the two-unit La Scogliera is a great bet for couples wanting a romantic stay with a beautiful view in Riomaggiore, but the hotel's apartment, with a small terrace overlooking the ocean and a kitchenette, can also accommodate a family. The separate room is smaller, and includes shutters that open up to ocean views. Guests wake up to the sight of small, colorful boats below and the smell of the ocean. No breakfast is provided, but there are restaurants in the village.

Scene
In colorful village built into cliff overlooking the ocean
The first of the five fishing villages that comprise Cinque Terre, Riomaggiore is made up of colorful buildings stacked into an ocean cliff. Stone steps lead down to the hotel where a terrace looks out at surrounding rocks and blue waters. It’s a romantic spot to watch the sunset go down over the ocean. Small metal gates mark the entrance to the upper-level apartment in the peach-colored building and the lower room built directly into the sea wall. Guests making their way to the rocky beach below should bring adequate footwear if they plan to climb along the shore.
Location
Directly above the ocean in the fishing village of Cinque Terre

Guests with cars can park them at the village car park, which is a 10-minute walk from the hotel. Free parking is also available on the coast road. The Riomaggiore train station is within a short walk, and the Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport is within a two-hour drive.

The bathroom is small with a stand-up shower.
Features
Breathtaking views and a limoncello welcome gift
