We weren't sure what location was best in Cinque Terre but decided to try Riomaggiore-it's the southern most village and perhaps the most down to earth and basic. we stayed here and loved the owner Enrico. The place was clean, had a terrace and a good breakfast and private parking. It is a bit of a hike up but we... more

Locanda del Sole was a most enjoyable place to stay in Riomaggiore, in large part due to the service provided by our host Enrico. He picked us up at the train station in La Spezia, which saved us a transfer from one train to another with our luggage. A delicious breakfast was served every morning, which included a selection of... more

This hotel was quaint, very comfortable and clean. Ask for a room at the top with a terrace. Enrico, the owner, was extremely personable and very helpful. We had a great stay at Locanda del Sole and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. We will return to this place again. more

We first visited this Locanda last September and now on our second visit we were welcomed like long lost friends by Enrico and his family Sat at the top of the Village you have a great view down to the coast and up to the hills above. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and the really good breakfast sets... more

We stayed with Enrique at his charming rooms in Riomaggiore , which are called Locanda del Sol. They were a hike to the high end of town, but had an amazing view of the town and the sea. Enrique was great; made us fabulous espresso or hot chocolate (even gave me some to take home), gave us a ride into... more

Recommended! The Locanda del Sole in Riomaggiore is excellent - a great base to see Cinque Terre. It is a centrally located guest house on the main street with a good breakfast (try the latte macchiato) and the rooms are clean and fairly spacious. Great showers and warm! Enrico is great - very helpful and speaks good English which made... more

No matter what I say in my review, the experence of Cinque Terre is the one that neither me nor my wife will forget in a while. The views that your eyes get exposed to in the area are indescribible. Words are not enough to express the beauty of this place. Locanda del Sole itself, is about 7 to 8... more

So it's a walk up a steep hill to get there, but I think worth it! The room was one of the better ones we stayed in on our 2 wk Italy trip. Our patio was spacious w/ a great view. We did not experience the breakfast so can't comment on that. Enrico was very nice once we got a... more

OK, so I know you go to Cinque Terre to hike, but this was ridiculous! This hotel is located at the very top of an extremely steep hill. Everytime you go down to town for a meal or to walk around you will wind up drenched in sweat by the time you get back to the hotel. There is a... more
