Host review score
BANCHI is a little guesthouse in Riomaggiore's historic centre, one of the famous Cinque Terre’s villages, an area that has been declared part of the UNESCO cultural heritage. All our rooms are located within a typical Ligurian historic building, where the landlord’s wine cellars are also situated. A very special local product - the famous raisin wine Sciacchetrà, known since Roman times – is made in these traditional cellars. Being accommodated along the main road of the town, our guests have all kind of facilities close to hand, such as restaurants, supermarkets, coffee shops and the local pharmacy. Furthermore, both the enchanting marine and the railway station of Riomaggiore are reachable in less than five minutes’ walk from the guesthouse. BANCHI offers a total of three private rooms, each one with private bathroom, air-conditioning, a mini fridge, electric kettle and free WiFi. In addition all our guests can use our big common terrace, placed at the top of the building, with a stunning view on the village, the hills and a partial sea view. Our three rooms are at the 4th and 5th floor of the building, and two of them facing the main street of the village, and the third one facing a characteristic medieval lane. Please note that one of the main reasons why Cinqueterre villages are famous and visited by many people from all around the world is because of their tiny houses embedded between sea and mountains, and for this reason all the historic buildings, like ours, have steep stairs. Our rooms are reachable only via a narrow staircase and not suitable to for guests with disabilities.
