Check in was easy and convenient. The sheets and towels had stains when we got there, they smelled clean and it looked like the stains were old and weren’t able to be properly washed out, so it was a bit unsettling, but we were able to deal with it for the 2 nights. It was in a nice area, with great views but you’d have to walk up a bunch of steps to get to it when the elevator is broken, so that is something to consider. The breakfast was good, and had a few good pastries and cakes. Overall, it was a good stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Villa Argentina. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The directions provided prior to our arrival were helpful and guided us to two elevators. The room had an immaculate view of Riomaggiore and a small balcony! The air conditioning worked well and kept the room cool. The shower was on the smaller side for my husband, who is very tall (6’4”). We would definitely stay here again—we only wish we had stayed longer!

Excellent small hotel. Lovely breakfast, great balcony views well worth the climb out of town. We took a taxi from the train station (15 E) as one of the elevators was not working and there are a lot of steps or steep road upto the hotel. Lots of great bars and restaurants within easy waking distance.

Villa Argentina is quite a climb! It’s on the very top of hill. We got room 21 - with wheelchair accessibility when we didn’t need it. There was water around the toilet all the time. The room was clean but there were ants with wings of all sizes flying and crawling up the wall - zoom into photos. We had an incident with Julia - one of the receptionist who was overwhelmed with too many guests at front desk. She struggled and panicked then decided to finish all the checkouts before attending to us. Make sure you read all their instructions before arriving.

Nothing fancy but fine for a few days. Its on top of the hill in Riomaggiore so be ready for a little bit of hiking up and down everyday. Rooms are small and fairly old, but super clean.

For the price it’s great. But coming from the train it’s a beating to get to the top of the hill. We were in the extra building at the first room. We went to be early and heard everyone enter the building for the next two hours. No coffee in the room.

Friendly staff! Luca at the front desk was very kind and helpful. Nice breakfast each morning! Room was clean. Nice view from terrace. If both elevators from train station up to room are not working (2 levels up side of mountain) take a taxi with your luggage—too many steps up with luggage. Grazie for a great stay:)

Wonderful villa!

The staff were lovely, kind, and knowledgeable. The apartment was clean and quiet with lots of natural light! This apartment didn’t have a view of the sea, but it did have a lovely terrace that you could see Riomaggiore from. And just steps away was the Wonderful shared terrace with a view of the sea!! I also must say the breakfast was incredible. Included things that might be typical for American breakfast (hardboiled eggs, cereal, fruit, yogurt, toast) as well as Italian breakfast (meats, cheeses, croissants, baked goods, Nutella) including freshly made cappuccinos etc. Loved this place and highly recommend! A couple things to note: the queen bed is two twins pushed together and they did kind of separate throughout the night which was a little awkward. Also, the elevators for getting up the hill are broken most the time and the option is to carry your bags up a steep hill for a long way. That said, you can get local Roberto to drive your luggage up and then the walk is actually not bad at all, pretty beautiful. Villa Argentina will send you Roberto‘s number in an email. €10 was a good price to not have to carry my luggage all the way up the hill!

Excellent view and adequate accommodation.

This was one of our favorite stays on our trip. Nothing beats the view of the ocean and watching the clouds roll in with the church bell chiming in the background. Continental breakfast was great for the price of free. The only thing worth advising is that there are A LOT of steps to get up to the hotel, and with baggage it is not a task to be taken lightly. There is a second elevator in the town that would have solved this problem, but it is still closed for renovation. We managed though, and enjoyed our stay. Friendly staff and amazing location.

Loved my stay and i stayed 8 nights. Top of hill so you must love to walk. Mattress was ok, could have been a little softer. Walls are very thin so with noisy neighbors, it was loud. Need earplugs. Balcony room awesome with spectacular views. Complimentary Access to coffee, tea and water would have been a nice touch. Staff are lovely. Grazie!
