Due Gemelli is positioned high and romantically in the hills of Cinque Terra, the Gulf of Poets. Each well-sized and well-appointed room has its own balcony affording beautiful 180° views of the sea, and the Unesco-protected pine and oak forests below. Our room had an ante-room for boots, luggage, dog bowls, etc. The staff were so friendly and helpful, the breakfasts were fresh and delicious, and the parking was great. The shuttle bus runs from just outside the hotel, and Le Spezia is an easy 10-minute drive away with masses of public parking just as you come into town. Staying here was a totally wonderful experience.

The only improvement we could see would be some amenities overnight. A vending machine or the bar opening a bit later with a wider range of snacks and drinks perhaps. We stayed in September so perhaps in high season it is different but visitors at this time of year are advised to bring some snacks and drinks for the room so they can spend as much time as possible looking at the stunning nighttime skies over the sea.

The room was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful view of the Mediterranean with a balcony as well. Breakfast was fresh, healthy and more than adequate.

The only negative was the location of the hotel, which was 3 miles, up a mountain, from the town of Riomaggiore, so a taxi was needed each time we had to catch a train or get back. Property could benefit from shuttle service. But we caught the only bus into town one day, walked down the mountain another. We made it work. Even though the property was a bit out-of- the- way. This was also a plus- because we were not struggling through crowds. It was a peaceful oasis.

The view of the ocean was very nice. Not only do you have a view out of the window but our room was on the first floor with a large deck shared by two other rooms. The views from the deck were very nice.

There is very little public transportation from the city to the hotel. If you do not have your own car, walking to the hotel should be well thought out prior to making the trip on foot

Amazing views! Spacious, comfortable room with balcony. Great breakfast. Staff were very helpful. A short drive to town where we parked to car to visit the villages. The staff recommended the ferry which gave a fabulous view of all the villages.

A mini bar fridge and kettle would have been great so we could have a drink on our balcony.

Location is ideal away from the crowd of cinque Terre. The view of the Ligurian sea from our room is spectacular! You can take the shuttle bus to take you to Riomagiorre and back, just right in front of the hotel and costs €2,50 per person per way. You can take the train from Riomaggioree and visit all villages if you like. Restaurant is only open during breakfast. If you wish to have dinner, you’ll have to go to Riomaggiore or La Spezia.. David was very accommodating with our questions.

Property is outdated or at least our room. The balcony door drags when you open it and it’s loud. No kettle or fridge in the room. No lift, so in case you have heavy luggage or have trouble walking, perhaps you can request a room above the restaurant or at least one floor down.

Very clean. Attentive staff. Beautiful view Balcony Great restaurant down the road. Cleaning staff daily.

A bit far from town but reliable bus in front Lots of stairs. But we are fit.

Great view, spacious room, friendly & helpful owners and staff. Private parking away from the road. Close to bus stop. Great value for money.

Lots of stairs and no lift. A pity the restaurant is no longer open for dinner.

The view from the room is breathtaking, and pictures here don’t do it justice, you have to see it. Everything was perfect at the hotel, room was very clean, great view, the two gentlemen at the reception were a pleasure to interact with. Very helpful and explained how to get tours, get discounts and use public transport. One of them even lent us 5€ for the bus as we only had cards! The location is good - you can take the ATC bus (station is right next to the hotel) to Riomaggiore. The schedule is accurate.

Breakfast is nothing to write home about but it gets the job done.

Quiet and nice location, incredible view. 10 min by bus to Riomaggiore *Last bus from Riomaggiore to the hotel is at 10PM but you can easily take a taxi

We had a very nice room with a huge balcony facing the sea. The staff were incredibly nice and helpful, and the room looked like it had been recently refurbished so it was in excellent condition. The hotel is not in the center of Riomaggiore, but up the mountain a bit — which we really enjoyed because it was quiet and calm. And it’s really easy to get to the center because there is a mini bus just outside the hotel that operates until like 11pm, so you always have an option to get between the center and the hotel

Likely because of its location, our room was full of mosquitos! So definitely come prepared in case you are sensitive to that
