Michela Rooms - Riomaggiore

I highly recommend staying here. The room was very clean and located just a few minutes away from the main street of restaurants. The owners were very nice and helpful. They even met us outside of the train station and helped carry our bags to the room. My only complaint is that they do not have internet--however, I think most places in the area don't […] have internet due to being in a mountainous town. I also highly recommend staying in Manarola the most out of the 5 towns of Cinque Terre. I would definitely use Michela Rooms again. Read more

I didnt get directions but thought it was easy to find, turns out that the easy way is long, specially if you are arriving w heavy bags. Nice that owner met us there and gave us the info and checkin. We had to pay cash. Ac working very nice and kept the room cold. Everything was new and clean, nice shower too. TV didnt work, but maybe there was a trick […] to it, but didnt mind since we didnt stay in room long. Owner was very flexible in letting them know out checkout time, thanks a lot for that. I wish the room had a window, but not a big deal since we were out all the time. Read more

Things started badly when we got off the train at Riomaggiore. A woman at the tourist office told us that although the address lists the room as being in Riomaggiore, it is actually located in Manarola. We decided to just walk the Via dell'Amore, the first link in the Cinque Terre walking trail chain, to Manarola, rather than wait for the next train. […] We made it to Manarola in about 20 minutes, a man at the tourist office gave us a map, and off we went again. We found what we assumed to be the right building based on the listed address. Unfortunately, there was no number or sign next to the door, and it was locked. We rang the bell with no luck, tried asking some Swedish passers-by and elderly Manarolan poker players for assistance, then decided to call the phone number listed, despite staggering international calling fees. A young woman answered and told us her father would be over to let us in. A few minutes later, he arrived, let us in, and explained that he had been "looking for us" in town but hadn't seen us. Once we got in, the space was great-- basically a small studio apartment with a full kitchen, nice bathroom, air conditioning, a safe, and chocolates on the pillows. The location was good-- a short walk into the center of town. We did not have access to wi-fi in the room. We docked the score for the overall experience because it took us so long to actually get in, but if that had gone better, we'd give this place a 4. Read more

The room was wonderful with great air conditioning, good beds, nice decor. But, the room was in the town of Manarola and not Riomaggiore. We wandered around the wrong town for awhile and no one could help us. Finally got to the right town and with difficulty, found the little street but the address of the room was not on any building. The web site said […] they took credit cards, but they didn't. Also said it was a short hike to the beach which was not true. But the room was very nice. Read more

FIRST>> of all..unlike the web site says..there is no parking...unless you park about a half mile away..we were able to drive into town, unload the car and then bring the car back up the hill..better to park in LaSpezia and take the train.. SECOND.... there is no address on the building..so we walked and hiked are butts off trying to find the place....THIRD....no […] communication, no one there to let us in...no one answered the phone when we called..it took us two hours to finally get in...Once there ..we loved it..huge room, fully remodeled..best shower on our trip. No windows, but really didnt mind it...great location we'd stay again, only next time we'd know what to expect...make sure you contact Michela, ( you probably won't see her...it's her dad and brother who show up) in advance...OH, and by the way...they want you to pay in cash.

Pros: The apartment was adorable and clean, excellent location, and the town of Manarola (where it is located is perfect). Close to train and restaurants. Cons: there is no parking IN town, so pack light! Would have preferred a bit better communication, as the woman I emailed with spoke fine english but the person who met us at the apartment as well […] as the one who checked us out spoke no English. Also, email ahead to get directions on where to park and how to actually get to the apartment. Overall, though, it was worth it! Read more

We just returned from a 3 night stay at the Michele Room. We enjoyed the Studio room. It came equipped with a refrigerator/freezer (you can make your own ice!!). Also a stove top and utensils. The rooms was decorated in the style of the wonderful Cinque Terra picturesque area. We loved the little town, found a couple amazing restaurants close by, and […] appreciated the coffee shop in town allowing us to use their wi-fi for free. The owners basically open your door, show you the room, and ask you to leave the key on the table. We only saw the owners father once when he was cleaning the room next door, but he was kind and asked if we were doing ok. The a/c works wonderfully, the windows open to a breathtaking view of the opposite hillside with grape terraces, and the wonderful hiking trail. (you did have to overlook the rooftop next door). But go enjoy this beautiful town. Take a long an appreciation of the opportunity to be a part of this special town, smile, and say "good morning". The people are kind, even though the travelers come barreling in and out of their peaceful and God-kissed land. Read more

Michela Rooms was great. We had a three bedroom and it was clean, modern and spacious. There was AC and the beds were really comfortable. Great stay overall. However, it is located in Manarola, not Riomaggiore like advertised.

Accommodation was clean and comfortable. Lots of steps to reach property and a bit tricky to find. We had no address for key holders who we happened to bump into nearby! The room is dark with no windows or views but this probably goes for a lot of properties in the area. There was a kettle but no coffee or tea provided.

The room was clean, airconditioned and comfortable. Good location, reasonably close to the parking area (though quite a lot of steps with luggage!) and an easy walk up from the village. We thought it a little overpriced though, for there is no outside space, hardly any dailight and no WiFi.

Very high up in Manarola, the stairs can be tiring but the view from the nearby streets is very nice. Well-equipped kitchen. Clean room and very good standard, comfortable bathroom. The temperature was decent for Easter, but it may be cooler earlier in the year... We arrived late and were very well welcomed.

Dette er en leilighet beliggende høyt oppe i Manarole. Vi ringter oppgitt telefon nr. og ble hentet av Michelas far. Geleidet med bil ned til nærmeste mulige stopp for bil og hjulpet frem til leiligheten. God service. Hadde vært vanskelig å finne uten hjelp. Vår bil måtte vi deretter kjøre ut av byen opp lang bakke. Det er ikke mulig å bil innenfor […] bommen til byen mer enn 20 min. Rommet var fint med alt det nødvendige. Savner utsikt. Rommet har ingen andre vinduer enn det som er i døren. Ligger i en " gate" som er ca. 1,5m bred. Her er det kun fotgjengere. Må gå 15-20m for å se ut over byen. Men vi valgte ikke rommet for å sitte inne å se. Byen Manarole skal oppleves. Fantastisk klippelandsby lengst ut mot havet. Mange restauranter, som bærer preg av å servere turister. Ikke det beste av mat eller servering. Byen er et godt utgangspkt. for å gå den populære vandreveien mellom de 5 landsbyer som utgjør Cinque terre. Landsbyene kan også besøkes ved å ta ferje eller tog mellom stedene. Michela rooms passer ikke for de med nedsatt beveglighet. Det mange trapper og høyt opp fra havnen/sentrum. Read more

Very nice one room-apartment. The staff was very helpful, came and met us at the trainstation and recommended good restaurants, they even walked us there to make sure we got a table. We certainly recommend Michela Rooms. And Manarola was a very beautiful, although very quiet at night, village to stay in.
