We were enchanted with Monterosso from the minute we stepped off the train! What a beautiful town!
We arrived a bit early and Francesca kindly allowed us to check in early. We fell in love with the apartment right away. It is located in a great spot, with windows on one side looking down on restaurants and shops that were more popular with the day crowd, and windows on the other side looking down on restaurants popular with the evening dinners, so it was never quiet, but that never really bothered us! It was part of the ambiance. Bonus: a pastry bakery is right below. In the morning, all sorts of lovely scents waft up to entice us downstairs!
The apartment itself was very clean and well maintained, and is very well appointed with everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of room. I really felt at home here. I was sad to leave because we loved our stay so much! Francesca could not have been a better host! Friendly, welcoming, and helpful all describe her.
We frequented many shops and restaurants during our stay. Seafood is abundant and delicious! We found the citizens of Monterosso to be friendly and helpful if we were friendly and open, so we have nothing but love for Monterosso! Gelato every evening seated on a bench overlooking the sea.. fabulous food, a beautiful town. We WILL be back. This was a small slice of heaven for us!
