This is a gem of a place. You can hop on and hop off the train and be right at your place. The room was big enough for the three of us. The patio was great for a late night glass of wine or morning cup of coffee. The host was so kind and helpful with suggestions. We would stay here again in a minute.

The Goose House was a wonderful place to stay - close to station to get easy access to all the other villages. Spotless and just how the pictures show. Loved area outside to sit and listen to the little waterfall. Spacious and full equipped for all your needs. Would recommend to anyone.

4 days in Riomaggiore

Nice little cottage with a comfortable bed. The host was very helpful. The air conditioning helped with the chilly evenings and mornings.It is easy to reach if you come by train but it is up a steep hill. All the villages of Cinque Terre are easily accessed and I thought it was the best of the 5 villages to stay in- at the start of via dell’amore.

We absolutely loved this place. It was almost like it was built into a cave, but the inside was so spacious and bright. It had everything that we needed a spacious bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and even a little porch to sit out and have our wine and cheese and prosciutto. It was literally straight up from the train station. We looked up and thought we had a long ways to go, but all of a sudden there we were at the waterfalls right outside the house ,we would highly recommend this place,there were only two of us, but it would be spacious enough for two couples for a short stay or a small family

Very Nice & Cozy

Nice and cozy studio apartment at the top of the hill in Riomaggiore. It's a little hike up the hill but everything is on a hill! We quickly got used to the hills. Very sweet owner met us at the train station and then she walked us up to the apartment. Great location directly up the hill from the train station. The place is very nice and very comfy with a little patio outside. Would definitely recommend and will definitely stay here again on a return trip!

What a perfect little apartment

We really enjoyed staying in this little apartment which was very well set out. It's proximity to the train station, especially with no stairs was excellent and we greatly appreciated Ilena meeting us at the station and showing us directly to the front door. It was only a short little walk to the main street where we followed some of Ilena's suggestions for meals with great results. The apartment is far enough away from the busy main street that noise and passing tourists were never an issue. A colleague is booked to stay in this apartment later this year and I messaged her during our stay that we had found a definite winner.

Just needed a heads up, since we are older, that it would be up a very steep incline. Photos showed it flat. We had heavy suitcases to pull up hill.

Wonderful

My husband and I and our two adult children had a fantastic stay here. Comfortable, clean and convenient. Easy check in and check out process. A very close 5 minute walk to the train, 6-7 min walk to the town’s main street and harbour, and very close to the restaurant with some of the best pizza we had in Italy. A great home base to hop the train and explore the towns of Cinque Terre. Host was very responsive to questions. I would stay here again. We travelled fairly light so the walk up to the property from the train station with our luggage was easy, if you have a lot of big pieces you may want to book a luggage taxi to bring your bags up.

Great base for exploring Cinque Terre

Ilenia met us at the train station and walked us up the hill to her place by a little stream. The little house was clean, well furnished with everything you need, even a little patio for sitting outside although it doesn't get too much sun. Ilenia was charming and helpful with lots of tips of what to do and where to shop for food. This is a great location for exploring Cinque Terre as it is not as touristy as Vernazza or Monterosso and it is nice and close to the train station unlike Corniglia -- which was a favourite town to visit after climbing 375 stairs from the train station. There is a lot to see in Riomaggiore -- be prepared for lots of stairs! We hiked over the hill to Manarola -- beware, it is a steep climb up and over the 'hill' since the 'Lovers Walk' was closed due to a rockslide. Otherwise, it is only 1.80 euros and 2 minutes by train.

Great location

Location is very good. It's 2 minutes from the train station, yet you don't hear the trains. It's also away from the center of the village, so there aren't many tourists; only those who stay in the same area. The owner responded promptly and was very good. The unit is good, for the most part. It is showing some age, with some updating needed, but nothing bad. The mattress was old, or at least overused and not in a good shape. The towels are really over-used; worse than at cheap motels. I definitely think an investment is needed into new towels. We asked for better/newer towels on the first day and the owner provided. again, she was very responsive to our communications. The unit is advertised with parking lot. You need to be aware that the parking lot is not at the property. It's about 20 minute walk away or a short taxi ride away. I don't recommend walking with suitcases. the taxi is 15 euro, so not a big deal. One issue we had that we were leaving early in the morning 6:30 am and could not get a taxi for that early, so we called the taxi for the nigt before to take our luggage to the car and then just walked in the morning.

Great place to stay. I have no idea if there is a bad place to stay in Riomaggiore. Very quaint little apartment in an ideal location at the end of the path. It’s a bit of a walk to the main part of Riomaggiore but the quiet location near the small stream and pond makes up for the distance of the walk as does the amazing ocean view from the path. The hostess was easy to work with during our three nights. I would definitely stay here again if I were fortunate enough to visit the Cinque Terre again.
