We stayed at Hotel del Sole for two nights, and had a fantastic experience. On the way there we were in a traffic jam that added nearly 4 hours (!!!) to our estimated travel time, so we arrived late at night. The host, Enrico, was extremely kind and stayed to wait for us even though check in ended at 19:00. Throughout our stay he was kind and helpful as well, and gave us good tips regarding the trains and public transport, and recommended us beautiful trails and viewpoints to get the best out of our stay in Cinque Terre. The hotel was super nice. Very clean, comfortable bed, spacious, with a private terrace to enjoy the view from. The breakfast served was good, with not solely sweet things to choose from. All in all, if I happen to visit Riomaggiore again, I know where I’ll be staying!

Everything about this small family run hotel was perfect . The rooms, the breakfast, the terrace outside each room & of course our ever helpful host Enrico, so knowledgeable of the area & ever helpful. I will be telling friends to stay here on their Cinque Terra visit.

We could not recommend Hotel Del Sol more! A great location, spacious clean rooms, a nice terrace space, and most of all Enrico was the most amazing host! He helped us plan our days hiking through the towns and when we found out about a national train strike happening on the day of our departure, he went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and could make it to our next destination on time. We can’t wait to go back and visit, thanks again Enrico!!

Awesome stay at Hotel del Sole. Enrico was extremely helpful with our hiking routes and itinerary whilst in Cinque. Breakfast was great, rooms clean and comfortable. Italy had a train strike on the day we were leaving and our host Enrico was great at helping us find a solution so that we could make our flight from Milan. Definitely recommend this hotel to family and friends.

We loved our stay at Hotel Del Sole. Enrico was an excellent host! He was very kind and friendly and extremely helpful and accommodating. The room and bathroom were very spacious and clean with a beautiful little private patio. We would highly recommend anyone to stay here to enjoy the Cinque Terre region and the fun town of Riomaggiore.

We chose this hotel, mostly because it was the only affordable accommodation in Cinque Terre. It is located in Riomaggiore, the first village after La Spezia (also meaning you have to pay surcharge if going by train.) The hotel is located in the upper parts of the village, after quite a steep slope, but also away from the "downtown" bustle. It is quiet up there with nice views. The room was simple but sufficient, everything was ok, the bathroom, the bed. Breakfast was decent, not that "western-hotel with all you can eat", but wouldn't be proper in Italy anyway. The host (Enrico?) was very kind and helpful, recommending us paths to walk around and have more magnificent views over Cinque Terre.

Wonderful and very friendly staff. The rooms are quite large and clean, but not fancy. Just up the (steep) hill from the train station in about a 10 minute walk. About 5 minutes from lots of bars and restaurants. There are quite a few stairs at the hotel and no elevator.

This was our favorite place to stay on our entire tour of Italy. Enrico was extremely accommodating and hospitable and the rooms were very clean and comfortable. Can't wait to go back!
