Monterosso Al Mare: Mansion in the historic center just steps from the sea

Monterosaa home base of CT visit Our host couldn’t be sweeter. Very helpful and accommodating. The house was perfectly located in a quiet area close to the beach. It was well appointed with washer (and detergent) and ability to split beds for making 2 for our children. There was AC throughout, but loved the windows open and the fresh air at night. Thank you!

Small but clean and central apartment. Had a lovely stay. This is a central location with a 7 minute walk to the train station and 5-15 minutes to some great shops and restaurants. Clean and well kept. Host was kind and and helpful, but spoke limited English. Note, both bedrooms are up a steep set of stairs. Not recommended for someone with mobility challenges.

Monterosso is the best of Cinque Terre Affordable and your one little house, after taking the boat tour to all the other towns this is the best. The stairs are more like a ladder, would not recommend an elderly couple staying here.

Charming! Booked 3 nights with my husband, two year old, and mother in law. Two separate bedrooms upstairs with large beds and plenty of storage for luggage. Kitchen has everything you need and a washing machine. My favorite was the sitting room with books to choose from and a very comfortable sofa. Ocean breezes waft through the windows and it truly made you feel relaxed. Steps from the beach, restaurants, and shops. The host went ABOVE & BEYOND to provide us with a crib for our little one. I highly recommend this property for your stay.

I want to be careful and honest about this review, from a Midwestern American’s POV. My adult daughter and I traveled to Montessori in late May of 2024. We stayed here for two nights. The location is exceptional. It’s quiet and off to the side, yet within easy walking distance of wonderful places to visit. It is near the Blue path, which was incredible. The hostess was as communicative, responsive and kind as one could ever hope for. The house itself is charming and small- but makes good use of its space. We love staying in places like this because we can unwind in rooms that are not the bedroom. Free Wi-fi and a nice TV for the few moments we weren’t enjoying the wonders of the location. The mornings were wonderful- just outside our window we could see lemons and limes weighing down the trees. We could hear the sounds of Italian children chattering on their way to school. It was good for the soul. I would call staying here “glamping”- at its very finest.

Bellissimo This is a wonderful and cute little property. It was perfect for our stay. Clean and organized. And our host was wonderful
