Stayed here for three nights in the blue room, which has a lovely balcony overlooking the main street of Riomaggiore. Great way to spend an evening with a bottle of wine watching the coming and going in the street. The room and bathroom were totally modern and very well thought out. Room size was above average for Italy. The main... more

We were a bit apprehensive about booking a hotel room with a private party. However, after receiving immediate responses to our emails from Maddie, all fears diminished. When we arrived in Riomaggiore, we had the directions that Maddie had provided along with several phone numbers. We met Maddie at her place of business and it was a short walk to... more

Very clean, simple room. Owner very friendly and helpful. Great location, restaurants and laundromat just downstairs. Our advice would be to save the €10 extra for breakfast as all it is is packaged pastries, yoghurt and juice. more

We only spent one night here, and we arrived late and left at 1030. In the short time we spent here we really enjoyed it. If you have luggage, as we did, this is very difficult because they have a lot of steps to the floor of the hotel. We had the yellow room, and it was very clean. We... more

I am not sure why the reviews on this Inn are so great. It is an average Inn. Very small rooms which is usual for Italy. We have travelled all over Italy and this was our least favorite place. When we met Maddy...I have to say she intimidated me alot. She was not friendly... Having said that..everyone has bad days,... more

We stayed three nights at Il Boma. Maddy, the owner, was very prompt in all her responses with us. The Blue Room has a verandah overlooking the main street where you can experience daily life in Riomaggiore and this was a bonus. Cinque Terre is really interesting. Il Boma was very easy to find and about 5 minutes walk from... more

We stayed in the "Blu Room" for 3 nights in early May. Although we got rained on almost the whole time (which closes all but one of the walking trails) we had an amazing stay. After coming from Rome, Riomaggiore and Il Boma was a great change - quiet and relaxed! Maddy and Franco were both very helpful and helped... more

We stayed two nights at IL BOMA in mid April 2010 while touring Italy on our honeymoon. We would highly recommend this B&B to anyone visiting the 5 Terre area. We stayed in the Wisteria room. The room was very clean and comfortable. The location of IL BOMA is perfect for exploring Riomaggiore and is easily accessible from the train... more
