This is a great hotel with perfect access to the Cinque Terre. Riomaggiore is undoubtedly the most charming of the five villages in the Cinque Terre. The room was spacious, comfortable, and spotless. The hotel owners were super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and had all we needed for a day of exploring the area. I highly recommend this hotel and plan to come back there with family and friends.

A wonderful stay! Will be staying here again if I ever return! The owner is so friendly and was very accommodating to my gluten allergy at breakfast. The property is so clean and tucked away on the hill away from the hustle and bustle. There is AC and a nice out door seating area. Absolutely loved this BnB!!

We had a great stay at Hotel Del Sole. We were able to safely park our car right at the hotel before setting out to explore the area. Enrico was super friendly and provided helpful tips about Riomaggiore and how to get around Cinque Terre. The breakfast was excellent. We will stay here again when we return to Cinque Terre.

Enrico and his wife were very nice, friendly and helpful. The room was nice, the air conditioning not noisy, cleaning every day and a very nice terrace. The breakfast was fresh but the same every day. Located in a peaceful area away from the noisy tourists.
I would definitely come back.

Arrived in Riomaggiore early, a breathtaking village, and was able to leave our luggage while the room was being prepared. Returned an hour later (still earlier than official check in), and room was ready. Enrique was extremely helpful, providing information about the Cinque Terre Parco hike. His wife makes an amazing cappuccino at breakfast time. Breakfast was light and delicious, and did the job to fuel us for our hikes. Each room has a terrace which is ideal for watching the sunset after a long day. The location is walkable to the restaurants, the start of the Cinque Terre hike, the sea, where there is a small rocky public beach and about 15 minutes to the train station. Of all the towns, Riomaggiore has the most personality, is less busy than Monterosso but an easy train ride to all the villages which are worth checking out. Would definitely stay here again.

Generally good service Enrico friendly but limited in range of skills. Room basic but clean . Nice view but 59 outside steps to get to room. Description of route to hotel a little understated-final “50” metres climb a severe challenge with luggage !!

Loved it!
We loved our stay here! The room is very spacious and has a large balcony where we enjoyed our breakfast each morning. The room also has closet space with hangers, a mini fridge, and a hair dryer. The free breakfast has lots of great options including any type of coffee you'd like! If you are not very mobile, this is not the hotel for you (and possibly not the city for you). Getting to the center of the town requires you to go up/down a very steep hill, and depending on what floor you're on there are a decent amount of steps to your room. Google Maps will take you a longer way to get to the hotel, read your email the day before your stay because they emailed out directions for an easier route. The concierge was very helpful with a lot of recommendations for us.

We had a great stay at Hotel del Sole. Our room was clean, the owner/manager always checked on us during our stay, he was friendly and helpful giving directions or advice. The birds were delightful to hear in the morning. Our patio was clean and had views of fruit trees. Breakfast was good with coffee, juice, yogurt, fruits, pastry, meats and cheese. The location is up the hill, very safe and quiet. I recommend that you get your luggage transported if you have anything other than a backpack because it is a STEEP uphill and transport is not expensive. No sense in beginning your trip frustrated. We liked being away from the marina as it did get loud. We also loved Riomaggiore the most because of it’s secluded quaint feel. The tile floor in our room had wear but this happens in coastal properties. We would recommend this place for one or two nights.
