We had a two bedroom apartment, with kitchen, quite spacious. It was up the hill a bit, but we did not mind the walk. The apartment was a little dirty especially the bathroom (shower also leaked) and the dining table had not been cleaned from previous guests. It was good to have the kitchen although the oven did not work... more

I actually stayed at La dolce Vita June 02' and I've just discovered this site today in an effort to keep the memories alive. My stay at the apartments was definately one of the most memorable of all of my European experiences. Our apartment looked out onto the street bustling with light & life. The stairs that wound up, around,... more

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights last August. We found Riomaggiore to be a good base for exploring the Cinque Terre - as it is at one end. We hiked through all the other towns, and then took the train back. I think that the only town I might have preferred would be Vernazza, but Corneglia is... more

Our room was a spacious studio on the 5th floor of a regular apartment building (no elevator), with a great window view of the train station below and, of course, the Mediterranean. The building has an accessible roof with great views also. The reception itself is on the otherside of town accessible by a charming tunnel. The only problem was... more

Our double room with private bathroom booked with La Dolce Vita in Riomaggiore was clean and bright. Unfortunately we didn’t get an ocean view but we spent most of our days enjoying the sights outside to worry about it! We had a small TV and bar fridge in our room but without any crockery and cutlery it was hard to... more

Yes I as well am sad to see that someone had a bad stay. The place my friend and I stayed was a 2 bedroom apartment, very reasonably priced for those on a budget. The place was spacious and clean. As for sheets, we had some, but from previous stays in Italy always make sure you do have linean cause... more

We stayed at the above apartment for two nights. When we booked on the internet, it was supposed to be for one night in that particular apartment before switching to another room but they they gave it to us for two nights without the extra charge. Which was great because or else, we would have to switch rooms so it... more

I'm sorry to see the previous reviewer had such an awful experience with La Dolce Vita, especially since I had absolutely no problems with them. I have to admit, when I booked at La Dolce Vita I did not realise they were actually an apartment booking service, i.e. you book through them and they then hand over the booking to... more

Overall, i would strongly discourage anyone from staying in this hostel. Cinque Terre was a beautiful [and i strongly encourage anyone and everyone to see it. Being a traveler on a budget, my traveling group and i foung la dolce vita's rates very desirable. However the cheap prices were not worth it. Our room was spacious but unclean (shower and... more
