Hotels near Church of San Giovanni Battista of Riomaggiore, Riomaggiore

My husband and I visited Cinque Terra in June. We stayed at the Hotel Villa Argentina. It is located on the top of the town of Riomaggiore. Our room was small but very functional and clean. The view from our balcony made the climb up through the town and the four flights of stairs to get to our room totally worth it. Antonio and Alessandra are the lovely couple that run the hotel. Breakfast every morning was fantastic. Pastries, home made jams, meats, cheeses, and exceptional coffee. All the staff was incredibly friendly. We also enjoyed visiting the other villages that make up Cinque Terra. The train was easy to take from one place to the next. We loved our stay. Roger and Leslie Fiorini

We spent a week in La Spezia, staying at Hotel Nell. the home of the boss hyper sympa, always available for advice, staff at the boss cad sympa and dispo. Copy and varied breakfasts. What you like. The hotel is 3 km from the city centre, but the rest compensates for this.

Io e mio marito abbiamo scelto questo hotel per passare qualche giorno in tranquillità e goderci la bella vista di La Spezia. Abbiamo quindi prenotato ( e pagato anticipatamente) la camera con vista mare. Prenotato tramite booking, siamo stati contattati dall hotel per fare la prenotazione direttamente con loro ed avere un po' di sconto. Accettiamo. Peccato che hanno dimenticato di dire che in hotel c'era un cantiere aperto. Quindi la nostra vista mare è diventata una vista ponteggio. Tra l altro la mattina favolosa colazione con il trapano nell' orecchio! Dormire un po' di più un optional visto che alle otto iniziavano i lavori. Ventola nel bagno non funzionante capite bene che l igiene non era il massimo. Hanno preteso tutto il pagamento all arrivo e si capisce il perché. Nessuna presenza in hotel ne della proprietaria né della segreteria. Chiederò senz'altro una parte di rimborso. Nota positiva Davide e la colazione ma sconsigliato per mancanza di trasparenza.

This hotel is in a very strategic location for a stay in the Spezia. The room was very comfortable, spacious and quiet, and was very comfortable and quiet, and was very friendly and available to the staff, I advise!

We stayed for 7 nights and could not fault anything. We are so happy we chose to stay here. The staff were so helpful and friendly including Francesco the minibus driver, the breakfast staff and the two owners. They could not have done more to make our stay better. The room was spacious with a large comfy bed, nice bedding, quiet air con and a large bathroom with a good shower and plenty of hot water, large balcony with great views over the beautiful countryside. The pool was a welcome delight after being out visiting the Cinque Terre and Porto Venere. There was always enough sunloungers. The breakfast (with stunning views )was delicious with lovely croissants, fresh cakes, freshly squeezed orange juice, fresh fruit, cheese and hams and breads, cereals, yogurts, eggs, pancakes and more. We had a few lunches which were also very good but only ate there one evening as we prefer to walk into town. There are several terraces for drinks and a complimentary mini bus to collect or take you to town or the train so don’t worry about it being high up. It’s a ten minute walk to the train or town downhill and easily walkable. We would highly recommend this hotel. The only one thing we may have used if it had been there was an iron as our clothes were quite creased. I am sure if we had asked they would have provided one but we just never bothered. There is a spa which looked lovely but we never used. It’s a perfect location for visiting the Cinque Terre and beyond. Excellent train service and boat to Porto Venere. Walk to Bonnasola next door to Levanto through the tunnels.

Good location between the train station and port. The shower drain was a bit blocked and would over flow if you had it on full. You could also smell the typical unpleasant drain smell from a blocked pipe.

We had no problems at this hotel. The location was a stone throw from the train station which was very convenient since we traveled by train. We also used the train to visit Cinque Terre. Since Cinque Terre exploration envolved a lot of walking and we got back late, having the hotel close to the station was great. The breakfast here was great as well. I liked that you pay one price for an old room and a different price for a renovated room. This way you know you will get a renovated room when you pay for it. At many hotels, it's the luck of the draw. That being said, it did seem that all of La Spezia hotels seemed overpriced. What we paid for our nice, but tiny room felt very expensive relative to the pricing I have become used to in Italy. I'm from New York City where things are pretty expensive relative to Italy. This hotel was an outlier by seeming expensive.
