01 · In a sentence

Hotel Due Gemelli in Riomaggiore, open JuneNovember.

Perched on the Ligurian coast in Cinque Terre's Riomaggiore, Hotel Due Gemelli commands views of the Mediterranean and the village's stacked pastel buildings cascading toward the water.

The property sits at sea level along Via Litoranea, offering direct access to the dramatic rocky shoreline and terraced vineyards that rise steeply behind the village.

Stone architecture and regional design reflect the authentic character of this UNESCO World Heritage setting.

I am so sorry that this review has taken 15 years to place as our experience here has stayed fondly in our thoughts for all of that time. We stayed here in June 2009. Four generations of the family absolutely spoiled us. Dad had been a merchant marine. I discovered this bottle of wine that was generously given to us by the family when we departed, that bottle of wine inspired me to search the hotel and the family. May we say thankyou for a travel memory that lives in our hearts. We hope to make it back... With affection. Ray & Fiona Kool
