Steps leading to hotel can be a challenge
Built into a cliff overlooking the ocean, the two-unit La Scogliera is a great bet for couples wanting a romantic stay with a beautiful view in Riomaggiore, but the hotel's apartment, with a small terrace overlooking the ocean and a kitchenette, can also accommodate a family.

Scene
In colorful village built into cliff overlooking the ocean
The first of the five fishing villages that comprise Cinque Terre, Riomaggiore is made up of colorful buildings stacked into an ocean cliff. Stone steps lead down to the hotel where a terrace looks out at surrounding rocks and blue waters. It’s a romantic spot to watch the sunset go down over the ocean. Small metal gates mark the entrance to the upper-level apartment in the peach-colored building and the lower room built directly into the sea wall. Guests making their way to the rocky beach below should bring adequate footwear if they plan to climb along the shore.
