Cool property with three balconies all with views of the sea! Incredible location. Owner was so hospitable & replied quickly. The pots & pans & dishes, & toiletries provided were perfect. We were in the heart of town while livi no amongst the locals. Cool little market with different fresh local produce & foods everyday. I would love to stay here longer.

We really enjoyed our stay in the apartment; it was clean, perfect for three people, and, above all, the view from the balconies was outstanding. The host was also very polite and happy to answer any questions. Thank you so much for everything.

maurizio was incredibly responsive and helpful; explicit directions for how to get to the apartment from the train station and the tourist card (very useful in cinque terre) were sent very early on. an undoubtedly beautiful place; nicely styled, multiple balconies, full stocked kitchen, and the laundry was extremely useful. views up the hillside from the balcony are not soon forgotten. would recommend!

The property was lovely. It had 3 balconies with beautiful views. The unit had a washing machine, a well-stocked kitchen, dishwasher, and 2 full bathrooms. Our host, Maurizio, provided detailed instructions for locating the unit and the check-in process. He responded very quickly to any questions that we had. We would highly recommend staying at Sanctuary House.

This place was an amazing spot to stay! Three separate balconies, and two floors with two bathrooms! It was very nice and spacious for 4 people for a couple of nights. The location was perfectly close to the water and shops on the main street without being too far of a hike. There are a lot of stairs to get up, but I think the breezy porch on the top floor was worth the stairs. The host managing our stay was different than the owner of the apartment, so there was a hiccup with the original booking site and our reservation got cancelled- but the host was very responsive communicative and worked around all issues quickly. Would stay again!

Beautiful flat with three balconies with views to the mountains and the sea. Right in the Main Street so easy to access everything Riomaggiore has to offer. The host was amazing at providing extremely helpful instructions and information for our stay. Couldn’t ask for more!The town was stunning with plenty of places to enjoy a drink and a lovely meal. Will definitely be back!
