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.

On the whole, great hostel to stay in! Comfy beds, spacious room, amazing balcony, not cluttered. Enjoyed the sense of freedom here and everyone else staying was super chill and friendly. Fridge doesn’t really get cleared out so we did ourselves (was stinking out the room), found some yucky stuff!! Bathroom wasn’t in best condition, shower needed some serious cleaning. Good hostel, with a little bit of love could be great one!!!

Mar-mar has been my best hostel experience so far. It’s like living in a sharehouse! The other guests (lots of solo travellers) made it so fun. The location is right in the middle of Riomaggiore so it’s easy to get everywhere. The place was clean, although with only two bathrooms in a beach town, they did get quite gross and wet by the end of the day. We didn’t see the staff very often but they weren’t overly friendly when they did come around… overall an amazing experience though.
