La Vista di Marina by The First - Luxury Rooms Suites & Apartments - Riomaggiore, Provincia della Spezia

Antonella Topo

Non ci siamo. Il panorama non è tutto, rapporto qualità-prezzo pessimo
Pro:
Camera bella fresca pulita
Posizione e panorama con vista mozzafiato
Macchinetta del caffè con cialde a disposizione
Contro:
- oltre al contatto whatsapp viene fornito un numero di telefono attivo dalle 08:00 alle 18:30 a cui di domenica nessuno risponde
- informazioni poco chiare: nel messaggio informativo prima del check-in veniva presentata la possibilità di lasciare i bagagli prima del check in (dalle ore 11) e dopo il check out (fino alle ore 13) senza specificare che il deposito bagagli proposto in realtà consiste nel lasciare questi ultimi in un corridoio del condominio senza affidarli a qualcuno (ancora non è chiaro il motivo della limitazione della fascia oraria)
- mancanza di attenzione e correttezza verso gli ospiti: la persona che risponde al numero whatsapp, viste le mie rimostranze nel lasciare i bagagli incustoditi nel corridoio del palazzo al momento del checkout, mi ha risposto "aspetta la signora delle pulizie o li deve lasciare in corridoio mi spiace".
Non mi è mai successo che mi venisse chiesto di aspettare (per un deposito bagagli previsto dalla struttura) senza neanche dirmi per quanto tempo o provando a proporre una soluzione alternativa che rimediasse all'accaduto. Forse si è perso di vista il concetto che per gli ospiti quelle sono ore di vacanze debitamente pagate e dovrebbe essere interesse della struttura che si definisce luxury fornire un servizio che sia all'altezza.
- bagno interamente a vetro (una parte oscurabile) a parete con il letto, insonorizzazione pressoché assente
- camera all'ultimo piano scale ripide non consigliato a chi ha disturbi motori

Non potevo scegliere una struttura migliore. Un Personal Concierge mi ha accompagnato alla struttura spiegandomi i migliori ristorante della zona e le cose da fare. La Suite era bellissima con una terrazza con una vista mare mozzafiato. Arredamento di lusso e con stile. Raccomando questa struttura e grazie allo staff per questo bellissimo momento a Riomaggiore. Tornerò sicuramente.

Il posto è magnifico! La vista è bellissima, il appartamento è comodissimo e grande!

We reserved the "Luxury Honeymoon Suite - Jacuzzi Bathtub." We probably should have read the reviews before we booked, instead of just looking at the location on google maps, and looking at the photos provided on the website.

I wouldn't agree that booking here is a scam, but I would say that it is quite misleading.

We were hoping to stay in a "proper" hotel, and this was not that. The room was located on the top floor of a building of apartments above the main part of the main street in Riomaggiore (there were about 40 steps, and the stair case was very steep and narrow). The location was fine, we did have a small view of the harbor and the sea, but not like the photos showed.

The room was comfortable and spacious. The Jacuzzi tub was huge, but it didn't "jacuzzi," which was disappointing.

The host was communicative and shared the details with us ahead of time, so we weren't scrambling.

We did arrive early, and were able to leave our bags in the room, even though it hadn't been cleaned yet.

The bed was comfortable, and there was a cleaning service that came each day.

I probably wouldn't chose to stay here again, because, as I mentioned, it felt a bit misleading and wasn't quite what we wanted. But it was fine.

Avoid at all costs. I am amazed that Booking.com allows these people to be on their platform. I kindly asked the owners to confirm the accessibility of their flat after reading some reviews online, as I was travelling with my in-laws. I also specified that I was conscious that it was an historic building and - as an Italian myself - I understood that accessibility is not always the best in this type of buildings. In all response, the owner asked me to contact Booking.com and get them to find me a new accommodation as I had “already caused too many problems”. But that’s not it, La Vista di Marina did not offer an alternative accommodation and then refused to refund us the price of our reservation as per terms & conditions of Booking.com.

DO NOT STAY HERE photos shown are not what you get. “Luxury Penthouse Apartment “ was anything but. 55 steep stairs with no handrails only rope to pull yourself and luggage up. No cooking equipment even though it was supposed to be an apartment. You couldn’t stand up properly on mezzanine floor. Dangerous electrics! Save your money and stay elsewhere.

I booked a penthouse apartment at the marina of Riomaggiore
The apartment is on 2 levels offering a balcony over the village. You can admire great sunsets sipping a glass of wine
There’s a small kitchen too, ideal for a family

The views for this are the reason you want to stay here. |The room itself is nice, just basic inside but you will spend most the time on the balcony. |The bed isn’t the comfiest, but it’s not awful. |There is a lot of steep stairs to get here, with a rope as a banister. So if you’re not too mobile this isn’t for you. Doing that a few times a day will be hard work when it’s warmer than May! |The breakfast was really nice, focaccia was stale however. We pre ordered our breakfasts for specific times via WhatsApp a few days before. Last day was 8am as we had to leave early to catch a train and we wanted some food before a few hours without getting any. 8.15, wasn’t here so we messaged. 8.30 the lady was outside to make it. Breakfast never arrived. Chased up until 8.55 then left. Got some quite rude messages and were left starving. We were refunded but the hosts attitude and lack of customer service left a sour taste. Can’t imagine speaking to them if anything went wrong! |There is limited shops and restaurants for food on the island. So take the essentials! And maybe some back up breakfast bars if you need to leave early.
