In-Depth Information
Bar & Vini A Piè de Mà, at the beginning of Via dell'Amore, has piles of charm, €6
cocktails, often music, and stays open until midnight June through September (see “Eating
in Riomaggiore,” later).
La Zorza Café is a hip, youthful alternative to the other bars in town. The music is
thumping and the cocktails come with a spread of little snacks (same space as the Hotel
la Zorza reception, €6 drinks, daily until 1:00 in the morning, free Wi-Fi with drink, tel.
0187-920-036, fun-loving Elenia).
The marvelous Via dell'Amore trail (described earlier, may be closed in 2014), lit only

trail is free after 19:30.
Sleeping in Riomaggiore
Riomaggiore has arranged its private-room rental system better than its neighbors. Several
agencies—with regular office hours, English-speaking staff, and email addresses—line up
within a few yards of each other on the main drag. Each manages a corral of local rooms
for rent. These offices keep erratic hours, so it's smart to settle up the day before you leave
in case they're closed when you need to depart. Expect lots of stairs. If you don't mind the
hike, the street above town has safe overnight parking (free 20:00-8:00).
Hotels
$$$ Locanda del Sole has seven modern, basic, and overpriced rooms with a shared and
peaceful terrace. Located at the utilitarian top end of town, it's a five-minute walk downhill
to the center. Easy (and free with this topic) parking makes it especially appealing to drivers
(Db-€110-120, air-con, Wi-Fi, Via Santuario 114, tel. 0187-920-773, mobile 340-983-0090,

$$$ Locanda Ca' dei Duxi rents 10 good rooms from an efficient little office on the
main drag (Db-€100-130 depending on view and season, extra person-€20, air-con, Wi-
Fi, open year-round, Via Colombo 36, mobile 329-825-7836, www.duxi.it , info@duxi.it ,

€60, Db-€70-80, www.cadeilisci.com ).
