Creuza de ma, at the risk of sounding dramatic, is the sort of place that lent a bit of fairy tale magic to our visit in Cinque Terre. From service to location to amenities, this property was one of the best stays we've ever had. Regarding service: Davide, the owner, was particularly helpful as we planned our visit, which I really appreciated. Upon arrival, his colleagues - Cristi & Eva - were equally friendly and flexible as they assisted w/ baggage, directions, & housekeeping. Regarding location: Located on a bluff overlooking the water, this location cannot be beat for your Cinque Terre visit. It's very private (only four rooms at this guest house) - you really feel like you have your own Italian Villa, but it's also very convenient to great restaurants (try Dau Cila!), shops, walking/hiking trails, a small (rock) beach, and the Cinque Terre ferry. Riomaggiore train station is a short walk as well. The only caution is that, with the location (and the town of Riomaggiore itself) come ALOT of stairs. Although the property has accommodation (chair lift for their stairs), the town generally does not. Regarding amenities: The property itself has been renovated with a sort of "laid back luxury" approach. It's simply beautiful not just because of location/views, but because great attention has been paid to the creation of comfortable outdoor spaces to enjoy those views and modern indoor spaces for your "down time". We felt happy & grateful to experience Creuza de Ma!
