Serviced Apartments in Riomaggiore

A village in the Spezia province in Liguria that is also the first of the Cinque Terre or five lands National Park and boasting a thoroughly charming location for an apartment rental or holiday letting in this idyllic region.

This picturesque 13th century village consists of closely packed, pastel coloured dwellings, lining tiered, steep hillside terraces that rise up from the shores of the Mediterranean giving the impression that the houses are actually built one on top of the other. The effect is one of instant charm but also wonderment on how these precarious looking houses actually stay so firmly put.

From your Riomaggiore serviced apartment or aparthotel you have virtually instant access to the small but delightful beach which is surrounded by the high banks of houses. With a diving school here you can enjoy snorkelling just off shore or take longer diving excursions with trained, professional instructors and explore the incredible marine life of the Mediterranean.

To discover this town’s wonderful architecture climb the steep staircases up into the town and you will find the Church of San Giovanni Battista which was built in the 1300s. This structure had a facelift in the 1800s and now boasts a new, neo-gothic façade. Look out for the beautiful rose window. The Parish Church of San Lorenzo is also well worth a browse, this lovely piece of gothic architecture began life in the mid 1300s. Continue up a rather steep road and you will eventually come to the Castle of Riomaggiore, sitting on a rocky base overlooking the town. The building of the castle began in the mid 1200s with work continuing for many years. The surrounding walls house two defence towers between which you enter the castle. A stunning structure that warrants a browse if you can handle the steep climb.

Before heading back to your Riomaggiore serviced residence or holiday apartment take a wander through Via Colombo, the main street, where you will find some really pleasant restaurants. Stop for a cold glass of Riomaggiore’s crisp, dry white Sciacchetra and a bowl of mussels. The perfect end to the day.
