We were very pleased with our stay; the location was good, and the rooms were modern and spacious and they we had fridge in the room, so you can buy breakfast supplies from the store, or pick up a panini and cappuccino and have a breakfast outside. The staff was helpful as well. We would stay there again! More

I am not a picky person, and I have stayed in some pretty bad places, but at least they were cheap. This place was the worst, and expensive to boot. Where to begin? As another guest mentioned, you have to voice all complaints within 15 minutes of entering the premises. I wish I had known that ahead of time, although... More

We had read reviews of La Casa di Venere, and so were not expecting too much, and were aware of having to visit the office in the main street of Riomaggiore to book in, and not go direct to the accommodation. All in all the 2 night stay went smoothly. The office is just a short walk from the wharf... More

Now we are not choosy travellers. We travelled on a budget and as such were realistic with what our money would buy. However, this place definitely was not worth the money we paid. Basically, we stayed in what could be best described as someone's attic that was quickly furnished in order to make a quick buck out of the thriving... More

The apartment is in a medieval building, so plenty of stairs. We were situated at the back of the building in a cavern-like apartment with only one small window. Furniture was modern, IKEA style. It cost more than our previous Albergo, which had plenty of space, a balcony, breakfast and helpful staff. It also cost more than our 4 star... More

Back in April I was looking for where to stay in Riomaggiore. I inquired with a number of places including Casa di Venere. I must have needed to put a credit card number on their inquiry form, because EVEN THOUGH I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THEM and wound up reserving and staying at Michielini Rooms (very nice) THEY CHARGED MY...

On arrival, we were told they did not take Visa and insisted we pay cash or stay elsewhere. This was less than convenient but we were willing to pay cash happily enough. The rooms were okay and location beautiful - Cinque Terre is hard to beat. A few weeks after we left they charged my Visa account and they have... More

We are just back from a 5 nights stay in Riomaggiore and we had an absolutely fantastic time. This b&b helped a bit since it was very clean and apparently newly decorated. It really isn't a b&b as there is no included breakfast. We booked quite late and this was one of the few places that still had rooms left... More

There is almost no correlation between this property in reality and as represented in their photos. Our room looked nothing like the photos: dingy, dark and in ill-repair...outlets hanging out of the wall, door on the rather strange shower falling off. As for the surroundings, you are in an alley so narrow you can touch the buildings on both sides.... More
