Riomaggiore is the eastern most of the famous 5 Cinque Terre towns. It's located in the narrow valley of the "rio Maior,” along whose course the village was born. Though maintaining its fishing and agricultural roots, tourism has become very important to the economic life of the village over the last few decades, partly due to its easy access from La Spezia.

The characteristic features of the village have been portrayed in many paintings. On the villages lower level is the 16th Century "Oratory of the Disciplined" while high up on the opposite side of the village are the remarkable ruins of the 15-16th Century castle where the old cemetery was situated. There is a very beautiful footpath called the “The Lovers Pathway,” "La Via dell' Amore,” starts in Riomaggiore.

The apartment is located in the centre of Riomaggiore, with a view of the sea that's just meters away.
