Looking for the perfect place to take a step back from all the crowds, rushing around viewing churches, museums and monuments?

Mar-Mar offers dormitory-style accommodations in the Cinque Terre with a difference, offering you a slower pace of life that has changed little over hundreds of years. Local residents still maintain some of their traditional livelihoods of fishing and wine making, living on the steep rugged hillsides along the Cinque Terre coastline.

Riomaggiore is the southernmost village of the 'five lands', making it an ideal place to begin your exploration of the Cinque Terre National Park and the famous hiking trails. This is the ultimate location to relax with the locals, take some time out and experience the authentic rural Italian lifestyle.

Mar-Mar has traditional accommodations, full of character and home comforts, right alongside those of the locals so you feel part of the community right from the beginning.

Explore the remainder of the villages at your own pace either on foot or by train. Take some locally made wine down to the rocks and watch the sunset over the med, or enjoy a meal made with fresh local ingredients at one of the many little osterias. If you are a hiker, outdoors enthusiast or just want to switch off and chill out by the sea, Mar-Mar in Riomaggiore has the laid back atmosphere you just might be craving.

Arrived, texted the owner first as I read the reviews! Arranged to drop off cash the next day. Very social hostel loved every second. Felt very safe if you were solo. Bathroom apparently had mould in it but you could have just used the other one. Loved my stay

The best thing about this hostel was definitely the location, as it was close to everything and had a really nice view. Sadly, that was the only thing I enjoyed during my stay. The hostel was hard to find due to the address listed on Hostelworld and google maps was wrong. The facilities were also not good. The whole place was a lot more dirty than you can see in the pictures. Especially the kitchen and bathroom were not clean, and there were spots of mold in the shower. Don’t stay here.
