    Daniela and her husband were very kind and helpful. Our room was a bit small but functional. It's very conveniently located to the train station, just a few minutes walk. My only recommendation would be that they tone down the airfreshners, it's really overwhelming to have 4 in such a tiny room.

    This apartment was absolutely perfect for our stay! Its central location was a huge plus, making it incredibly easy to get anywhere we wanted to go. Being so close to the central station was also incredibly convenient to visit cinque terre. The apartment itself was spotless and the internal garden was a delightful surprise. The hosts were incredibly nice and helpful, offering fantastic tips on local restaurants, must-see attractions, and even navigating parking. Their recommendations were spot-on and really enhanced our experience. We felt very welcomed and well taken care of. I highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and welcoming place to stay. It's truly a gem!

    They have thought about everything for your convenience. Room was clean, and cozy , tea, coffee and minibar included. It’s located in a very good place, 5 minutes from the city center and 2 minutes from railway station. ( so very good choice who wants to visit Cinque terre) We stayed there for a night and got very pleased. I specially would like to thank Danielle for her warm welcome, and tips for the city.

    Don’t be put off by the age of the building, when you first enter it looks a little old and not very clean. But once you get to the guest room everything is bright and new. We had a little difficulty in finding the location, maybe additional directions and pictures would be useful.

    Beautiful new and clean room. Very well renovated with excellent shower and spacious bedroom. Daniela and Stefano were very welcoming and friendly, and they provided us with so much information about Cinque Terre. They contacted us regularly to see if we needed anything. Wonderful hosts.

    There is nothing to dislike.

    Alchimia di Mare is a group of nicely decorated rooms in a renovated section of a historic palace building. The bathroom has all the necessary toiletries and more. The location is 300m away from the train station and 200m away from a decently priced underground parking lot. It’s located at one end of the historic center and the area is a pedestrian zone with several restaurants and cafes nearby. The breakfast is an Italian breakfast served around the corner that includes coffee, orange juice and a focaccia or pastry. The hosts are extremely helpful, provide all the basic information about the area and are always happy to answer any additional questions. In summary, outstanding!

    We didn't like the fact that while booking the room we got the impression that it's a stand alone hotel, It's not! it's a bunch of rooms in an apartment building. Very basic Italian breakfast of 1 cop of coffee and 1 baked good

    The location of the place is perfect to visit Cinque Terre. 5 minutes walk to the train station. The owners are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Their recommendations are great especially for places to enjoy local cuisine and reserve a table.

    The breakfast could be better but it was just underwhelming. We were only served a small piece of croissant and a cup of coffee. Parking instructions could be clearer as well.

    The room was very modern and clean. We were quite impressed how well maintained it was when we checked in. The couple that's running the place were friendly and helpful. The bathroom was spacious and everything was well organized. Because we drove to this B&B. We appreciate that they could help reserve a nearby parking for us. (This is very important to take note of for travelers who are driving)

    I have no negative comments.

    The location is exceptional. We were close to the train station from which we took trains to Cinque Terre and Portofino. We also were close to the city bus stop for Porto Venere. We were adjacent to the walking street with its numerous bars, shops and restaurants. Daniela was a perfect host. She answered all of our questions and was very helpful in assisting us with our plans. Our room was spacious. Clean, and comfortable.
