Property info

Opened July 2023: The Upper House consists of 4 beautifully designed guest rooms, with breathtakingly timeless sea and vineyard views. Two of the rooms have a sea view balcony but all are furnished with made in Italy, custom-made pieces. The property has been under the meticulous work of top Italian architect, Marco Pisello and recently opened in July 2023. Perched above the historical center of Riomaggiore, The Upper House is located away from the hustle and bustle of the historical center, in a quiet, residential zone in Riomaggiore. We are located on the fourth floor , so please be prepared to do stairs. If you have luggage, please contact us beforehand and we can book porter service for you (E10/bag).
