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.

The location is great, which is maybe why they get away with not providing anything else. No on-site staff, the shower had black mold, self check-in without any explanation, dirty lockers, only two toilets and showers for 14 beds. Felt very self-governed, which was honestly nice, but it’s not a comfortable or clean place.

I had such a wonderful time at Mar-Mar! The location is perfect, everything is within walking distance, and it was so easy to meet amazing people. The terrace is an absolute dream and the whole place has such a special atmosphere. The owner was incredibly kind and even organized sending my forgotten bikini back to me, which I’m so grateful for! I will definitely come back and would recommend Mar-Mar to anyone. ❤️
