Fantastic location, right by old town and on the (pebble) beach. The terrace alone is worth the booking. Highly recommend.

Best Vacation Rental in 30 years of Marraige! Stunning property, inside and out. We felt like royalty, waking up every morning with our own private view of the sea just feet away from our balcony, the rich green tile floors leading us to adventures every time we left the house - the wooden doors were sturdy and elegant, which we would open to feel the breezes and hear the waves. Our walks down the few steps to the crystal clear waters where we swam and snorkeled energized us for the short walks to amazing waterfront restaurants and coffee shops. The train dropped us off less than a quarter mile from the house - where we had everything we needed the entire time we stayed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this house, build your vacation around its availability. Thank you so much for making this available to us.

Overall, the location and vistas were absolutely breathtaking. Very nice property - I think it could have been stocked a bit better with essentials like toilet paper, paper towels - the mattress was a bit on the worn side. Beyond that, very beautiful and worth the price and the effort to get to montorosso.

Best location you can get. Well built with great views and access. Property needs a little bit more love from locals managing it. I intend to speak to Elena about it. This could be a very good property if managed with a little bit more care

Awesome property with unobstructed views. Very close to town (less than 5 min) with many shops and restaurants. Winery just north of town is excellent and walkable (albeit uphill) in 10 min. The ferry pier is just below the property and the start of hike to Vernazza is close as well.Could not have had a better experience.Thank you Cristina

We're so happy to hear you had a relaxing and enjoyable stay! We'll aim for that fifth star next time, perhaps by moving the beach even closer to the deck!
