About this property

Apartment in the historic center in the Cinque Terre

The apartment is located in the historic center, under the arcades of the ancient village in a period house. The house, very cool in summer, is on the first floor and is accessed by a staircase (15 steps); the owners live on the second floor. Free Wifi
The house is about 60 meters; has a large living area with a fully equipped kitchen (microwave oven, electric kettle, electric hotplates, fridge with integrated freezer); in the same living area, there is a double sofa bed. The bedroom, separated from the living area, has 4 beds, one of which is a pull out. The house overlooks with two windows on the carruggio. It is very cool in the summer and it does not have air conditioning due to the environment; in winter it has air heating managed independently by the guests. The bathroom has a shower. The wifi network is present. In the house there is TV. The house can accommodate up to 6 people (it has a sofa bed in the living area), but it is advisable for 6 guests for short periods. On request, at the time of booking, it is possible to have a cot for a baby. Pets are welcome.
When necessary, you can leave your luggage waiting for check-in and check-out.
The house is located near the small and typical piazza Matteotti, where there is a supermarket, a butcher, a restaurant and a nightclub. The sea is a 5-minute walk away; the station 10 minutes on foot.
There is no private parking because traffic is forbidden in the historical center; there is a paid parking at the beginning of the country that can be used (when free) for the arrival of the monastic; after which the car can be left on the state road paying attention to the signage.
The train, however, remains the most convenient way to get to the Cinque Terre, which are connected almost exclusively by rail and by land.
There are five ancient villages on the mainland but must be lived as real islands in the middle of the sea. it's their beauty but with some reasonable discomfort.

The property has a great location for soaking up local charm. The bathroom is quite small, especially for six people. The owner’s mama is precious, but there is definitely a language barrier.

Wonderful location in old Monterosso

The location was perfect. Quiet and cozy, yet just steps from all of the activity in Monterosso, and no big hill climb to get there. Our kids took the three single beds and we took the futon - it was a bit firm, but we slept great. Must have been all the Cinque Terre hiking!

Excellent choice

We are a young couple with 2 little girls and we stayed at Marianna's apartment last week-end. It was an excellent choice!The apartment is close to everything... And it has everything you might need. Not to mention that the owners are very friendly! It felt like we were staying at friends... If we will ever go back to Monterosso, I know where we will stay :)

Great location but very small and old

Great location, in the heart of the old town, 3 minutes to the beach and ferry but the flip side of it being quite noisy (we had open windows and 2 ventilators on because it was very hot in August). The apartment is quite old but have everything you need. Be aware of mosquitos! The host is very helpful and great communication.

Excellent location

Location is excellent, and the owners are super nice and were available if we needed anything. We stayed in June and the apartment definitely got hot, but the owners provided the fans which helped a lot. Unfortunately, the electric wiring is old which meant if we had a fan on, we could not use the tea kettle or a hair dryer, as it would blow the fuse. The place could also use better pillows and towels. But otherwise, we enjoyed our stay and are grateful for the owners' hospitality.

Thank you for your review and suggestions. As for the problem of falling, this past summer has been exceptional and in fact it was difficult to be ready; the house is old and normally we have no problems with the temperature. As for the problem of jumping electricity, the problem is not because the plant would be old, but because of the range: in Italy the power for domestic use is 3kw and this is there. Unfortunately we found that the kettle makes contact and blows the valve. We will take care to replace it. In any case, it will never be possible to keep the two ventlarori, the hairdryer and the bolier on at the same time, but this is a less serious problem. Sheets and pillows will be replaced at the end of the season. Thanks again

Danke Urs für deine Bewertung. Die Vasa für 5 Personen kann tatsächlich eng werden, besonders wenn Sie mehrere Tage bleiben. Wir hoffen jedoch, dass diese Unannehmlichkeiten durch den Rest kompensiert wurden und Ihr Aufenthalt in den Cinque Terre gut war. Wir erwarten Sie in der Nebensaison mit weniger Touristen und günstigeren Preisen.

Mitten in der Altstadt von „Cinque Terre“

Die saubere Ferienwohnung liegt mitten in der autofreien Altstadt von Monterosso al Mare. Die freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Vermieter bewirtschaften einen der ältesten Weinberge des Ortes. Von der Haustür sind es wirklich nur ein paar Schritte bis zu Restaurants, Aperitivo oder Lebensmittelladen (die Vermieterin gibt Tipps was wo am Besten ist). Autofrei heißt, dass man sein eigenes Auto weit vor dem Ort parkt - ideale Anreise ist mit dem Zug. Aber es ist ein fantastischer Ausgangspunkt, um Cinque Terre zu erkunden, egal ob mit Wanderschuhen, mit dem Zug oder mit beiden. Nachmittags noch Baden zum 200m entfernten Strand und abends den lokalen Weißwein und Fischgerichte genießen. Absolut unsere Empfehlung für einen stressfreien Genießerurlaub.

Great location helpful host

We loved the location of this apartment. It’s in the older part of town so not as much tourist traffic. It’s spacious, quiet and clean. The only thing that would improve the appearance would be some new bedspreads, they are very dated. It’s location makes up for the bedspreads and I would stay here again. Marianna father was very helpful and was there to lug or.luggage up the stairs. He is very strong!

Dear Vicki many thanks for your review :-) We are at the end of the high season that's why we did not already change something at home, like the bedspreads you told.

The apartment was clean with plenty of space and decorated with warm homey touches which provided an authentic Italian experience. Any item we needed for the kitchen or bath was provided. The location was in the center of Oldtown Monterosso, just a few steps away from the hiking trail. The owner, Marianna, was helpful when we were planning the trip and provided excellent recommendations on restaurants and wine. Marianna was out of town during our stay however her parents and the family cat were on site, available when needed and always responded to questions with a friendly smile.

Cinque Terre

The location in old Montorosso was great for exploring and enjoying the local food and culture. The listing did not accurately represent the apartment. There were not 2 bedrooms. The 2nd bedroom was a fouton in the living area. The pillows were old, flat and hard. The bedding was old and faded. The towels were also old thin and very rough. We expected that apartments in old cities would be funky and show their age but, we also expected decent bedding and towels.

Thanks. Sad you do not like. I do not know where you have read that there are TWO bedroom. The flay has one bedroom with 2+2 bed and a main living room where there is a sofa bed. Please tell me if you have read somewhere something different in case I will write to Homeaway. About linen and towel: we are not a hotel and we are at the end of the season, normally we will change for the next new season. But we are ad apartmament and so the service are not as in a hotel
