Locanda del Sole, also known as Sole Inn, is a cozy inn in the heart of Riomaggiore, one of the five villages of the Cinque Terre on the Ligurian coast of Italy. It suits visitors who want to stay within the village itself, close to its lanes and waterfront, rather than in a larger hotel elsewhere.
What to expect
The inn combines a rustic character with modern comforts, so guests can enjoy an atmosphere shaped by the village while still finding the conveniences they expect from a current stay.
- Location: the centre of Riomaggiore, within walking distance of the village's streets and harbour.
- Terrace restaurant: a place to eat outdoors, serving fresh seafood and local wines, which reflect the coast around it.
- Setting: a small inn rather than a large property, with the feel of a village base.
Planning a visit
Because Riomaggiore is compact and largely made up of steep, narrow paths and steps, staying in the centre means you can leave your bag and explore on foot. The terrace is a natural place to spend an evening, with the local seafood and wine being a good way to taste the Ligurian coast after a day of walking the village.
If you are considering Locanda del Sole, check directly with the inn for current rooms, rates and opening times for the restaurant before you travel, as these details are not covered here.
