About this property

The house is suited for real “amateurs” only which are looking for a unique holiday within a totally private and natural surrounding. The property is 150 meters above sea level, extends over 500 squared meters of terraced land and is comprised of a 2-bedroom house and a 1-bedroom cottage. The main house is arranged over 2 floors. Kitchen and dining area are on the ground floor while two bedrooms and a bathroom are located on the first floor. The first double-bedroom extends onto its own private terrace with breathtaking sea views. The second double-bedroom is extremely spacious (an additional inflatable single bed can be fitted) and includes a large chimney and lounge area. The cottage has his own small bathroom, kitchen and a full double bed. The property enjoys great outside living space including a large terrace, wooden floor solarium, BBQ and an external shower. Crystal-clear waters are only 15 min away at the bottom of a magnificent stone path perched on the ridge of the hill. A new kayak for 2 adults and 1 child is available at sea level for unforgettable sea tours.

It is possible to rent only the main house (max 5 guests) at a reduced rental rate of €1750 per week. The 1-bed cottage can be rented for a minimum of 3 nights at a daily rate of €125 (€875 per week).

Driving directions: The village of Monesteroli is reachable by a 20 min walk after leaving your car at the bottom of Via Tramonti, a private road which takes you from Località Colle del Telegrafo into a beautiful bush slowly down towards the sea. From La Spezia you take the coastal road that leads to the Cinque Terre and just before the first tunnel take a right at the junction towards Biassa. Go through this picturesque village and keep going up the road for approx. 5 km till you reach the top of the hill. Take the first road on the left (Via Tramonti) just before the restaurant Colle del Telegrafo and keep going down till the road ends where you will park on the road side. The track way which leads to Monesteroli starts on the right-hand side of the last sharp bend of the road (track way n. 4b). GPS: 44° 04' 45" N 09° 47' 07" E

Situation exceptionnelle dans une maison atypique

+ : cadre exceptionnel et situation géographique de la maison, l'équipement de la maison (hormis la machine à laver que l'on n'a pas réussi à faire fonctionner) Recommandations : aimer randonner, avoir plus de 10 ans car l'accès à la mer se fait par 800 marches pentues Moins : agence en charge de la location qui a peu d'ecoute active et de respect client, démarche commerciale trop poussée, maison à sécuriser davantage

Mitten in der Natur

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Woche im Haus von Luca genossen! Die Sicht auf das ligurische Meer und die Küste ist unvergleichlich! Das Haus ist gemütlich und einfach eingerichtet. Geschlafen haben wir sehr gut und die Sicht aufs Meer vom Schlafzimmer aus und von der Terrasse ist ein Traum. Luca hat alles sehr gut dokumentiert und ist immer schnell erreichbar. Das alles muss aber verdient sein. Man darf den leicht susgesetzten Fussweg, der gut aber steil ist, nicht scheuen und schwindelfrei sein. Alles Gepäck und das Essen muss 20 Minuten runter- und später raufgetragen werden. Man kann es aber auch mit einem E-Piano, Cello und Geige schaffen :-). Ende Ferien waren wir jedenfalls fitter als zuvor. Wir kommen wieder!

Perfect but too hot in summer

The house is set in a beautiful place, extremely peaceful, with a stunning view but the 1900 steps from the parking to the sea (1000 from the parking to the house and 900 from the house to the sea) are too difficult to climb in summer time because there is no shade at all! There is no shade on the steps, no shade on the terrace of the house (facing South) and no shade on the rocky beach. The cinque terre villages are also too crowded in summer. The house is probably wondeful in spring time and september when it is pleasant to hike around.

Monesteroli , le paradis...

It was wonderful , amazing, quiet , crazy and challenging all the days as we expected. It's the return to the true life and back to basics.( e.a. the shower outside , just infront of sea) We were very happy and we had successful holidays. if you like sport , challenges , nature and quiet and breathtaking views, Monesteroli is the best choice for your holidays in "Cinque Terre". The restaurant "colle di Telegrafo" was a also a ideal stop-off before getting back home at night. The Pasta were delicious...unavoidable after tour in Cinque Terre. Thanks a lot , Luca for this "petit coin de paradis" .

Unique, amazing views, peaceful base

We spent 4 weeks here and enjoyed every day: the scenery was amazing and there was always something new in the horizon, the kitchen had what we needed, the bed was comfortable and best of all the location is so peaceful with just the sound of birds and waves crashing. We also enjoyed several wonderful swims down in Monesteroli (sticks were good to use as the lower track to the beach was a bit unstable after a slip). After a month of living here and exploring from here the Cinque Terre tracks and walks to Portovenere we certainly felt healthier in mind and body.

About the host

Hosted by Luca Agostini

My wife and I live in Milan and have two young daughters. We both work in finance and this place is our refuge from it all! At the beginning there was no mobile reception, no running water and no electricity! It took us nearly 10 yrs to make it liveable and we enjoy letting our guests share this unique experience.

Why they chose this property

We bought this cottage 22 yrs ago when we were young and crazy and fell in love with this place which is incredibly unique. We did not realise at the time what it meant to rebuild the cottage which was then simply a bunch of stones! Every piece of furniture you see has been brought down the steep steps on our back!
