There was a constant stale smell in the bathroom and we had no hot water one evening to shower. One thing is on your first trip up to the hotel you have to pay for the lifts until you get the QR code to get the free lifts. Maybe it could be sent in advance to save €4 each and lots of stairs!

Great breakfast and amazing coffee. Great view up at the top and really easy to get to with no stairs as you just take the lifts up from the station (they’re open until 1am). Incredibly comfy bed and lovely staff. Really good location and great hotel for the area.

Good location away from the main street of Riomaggiore but still very quick to get to the harbor and train station. Quiet location.

One of the rooms we booked had an incredible view, the other did not (which was fine). It was very easy with a family to drop bags off with our car right at the door. Location had easy access to the village

We had a lot of trouble with the room being very cold. The air conditioning was supposed to be used as heating as well, but we couldn’t get it to work and there was no one at the reception after 19:00 who could help when we had the problem. It made for some very cold and unfortunately a bit uncomfortable nights.

The view is incredible! Such a cool location and nice staff. The breakfast was also good!

PARKING. MAJOR ISSUE. VERY UNORGNIZED. No view at all, rather staring at another building.

That it was a little apartment.

Stayed in May 2024

Our room had windows but not to the outside, so we had 0 light in the room and we couldnt air it properly since there was no exit to fresh air, but to the back of the building (its hard to explain), but at the same time it might have been the cheaper rooms only

The terrase was amazing, a big plus! Could eat breakfast there with an amazing view of the town and the sea

The window of the room gave onto a rock wall just 20 cms away. No daylight in the room.

Nice staff, good breakfast buffett, spacious room, clean

Our room was very basic, but we weren’t in it much so it was fine. Excellent breakfast buffet. The walking instructions said it was 10 minutes from the station. It was closer to 20 and uphill with stairs, but doable for anyone who is reasonably fit. The instructions didn’t mention the elevator…..but DEFINITELY spend the euro/person and take the elevator from beside the church and avoid the last stretch of stairs. Great view when you get up there.

The view was nice, the window is a little bit small. Room a litlle bit small.

Breakfast was great!, variety of food and very good quality.

Stayed in March 2024

There was a fridge but no kettle, tea, or coffee.

The property was lovely and quiet as it wasn’t in the centre of town but still easy access to the village by lift. The room was large and we had a wonderful balcony to take in the views.

I didn't have as much time to stay as I hoped. Also, the hotel is located on what I would consider the 2nd major terrace above the main road, so there are stairs to get to the hotel or a serpentine road to walk up. The elevator, once you find it, does reduce the amount of stairs significantly.

The staff at Hotel Villa Argentina were remarkably kind and helpful. The breakfast prepared by the staff was absolutely delicious, and the staff graciously ensured you received adequate food and drink before heading out for the day. The freshly prepared juices, teas, and espresso drinks (thankful for the lactose-free milk options) came with an assortment of baked goods, meats, vegetables, and fruits. The room and bed were comfortable, and the view from the balcony was splendid each morning and evening. The shower had plenty of hot water as well.

Quite cold at night, but no extra blankets. In information on directions it should include that there is a lift to the property. To the left of the church.

Friendly staff and a nice breakfast. Good view from terrace.

Breakfast wasn’t very good, cold hardboiled eggs, low quality of food, not tasty at all. Location was high up above town , there was an elevator, but nobody told us bevor arrival or I didn’t notice.

Very friendly and helpful staff, room was ok, everything working well including aircon, clean, comfortable bed. Luggage was stored on day of departure for free, very helpful.

Location was great! Advice to others take taxi from yrai. Station!!! Once we found the elevator at half way mark it was perfect! Apartment was great, view was fabulous, deck was amazing, nicely stocked in the kitchen and beds were comfy. No AC but the fans helped a lot and with windows opened get a great view.

It takes a bit of walking and stairs to get to—but that’s Riomaggiore!

This had a great view of the water and city. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. They helped us fill out water and borrow beach towels to swim!

The Aircon was too loud to leave on and the walls in the room are very thin able to hear other guests easily.

Staff were very friendly and great parking for us. Nice to have a separate build from the hotel.

The hanging rails in the wardrobes were fitted very high up making it difficult to hang items on them.

Despite being at the top of the village, the hotel was about 15 to 20 minutes walking from the railway station due to the presence of two lifts, gradually rising walkways and excellent instructions supplied by the hotel. On arrival we were greeted by friendly, kind staff and taken to our room which was in a separate building, a few minutes walk away. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The room was of good size, very quiet and had good storage space. The bathroom was also of good size with good storage space and an easy to access shower with good temperature and pressure. Unexpected bonuses were the refrigerator in the room and the kettle in the reception area immediately outside. Outside of the building, there was a secluded terrace area with a large parasol and very comfortable seating. Breakfast was served in the main hotel building and could be taken in the breakfast room or up on the terrace. Both areas had lovely views over the town and the sea. It was in the form of a buffet breakfast served to you by the staff from a reasonable range of items. The pistachio croissants were particularly good as was the coffee.

Older style property (still nice though). Room was a little tight with 2 suitcases.

Great view from the balcony. The staff were nice. The room was basic but comfortable. Air conditioner worked very well. Bathroom shower was good water pressure and flow.
