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

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.

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" .

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.

So close to the famous Cinque Terre and at the same time even in July totally 'away from it all'. We loved this house. Beautiful location, amazing vista's (it's even better than the pictures, every night we were treated to the most gorgeous sunsets) and ... a bit adventurous. Loved to hike the old stone roads to the house, even when it was hot. The place is very quiet (the house is set high above the sea and above the little village of Monesteroli) and totally private. So you get unbelievable vista's, wildlife (wild boar and martens!) and a free workout. We left our car at the designated parking spot for the whole week and did everything by foot. There is much to explore and hike. For groceries we went to Biassa or Campiglia (the little store in Campiglia is sometimes closed when you don't expect it, but there's great pasta at PiccoloBlu which we also recommend, lovely hike down to the sea from Campiglia, but the way back is pretty heavy when it's hot). We even hiked with our children to Rio Maggiore, took a swim there and had a nice lunch at 'Enoteca dau cila', great location for watching people. Closer by, the food at 'Colle di Telegrafo' was really, really wonderful! We hope to come back to your lovely and very special house Luca! It was a wonderful experience. It really is... an experience!

We spent a marvelous time at Minesterolli ; first I was worried that our teenage kids would have been bored.. . .But not at all ! They told me how astonishing and beautiful was the place. They really enjoyed to be there. It is the way I like to spend my holidays: family, silence, sea, swim, visit, no clock, sun, view and sunset… I forgot sport ;). Everything was as described on the site , clean and comfortable . Luca is a very nice and accomodating owner. Maintain this unique place is an incredible challenge !

Wonderful place! The location and the view is absolutely unique - in the middle of nature! The house is well equipped for a comfortable stay. We hiked a lot, swam in the sea or just sat at the terasse with its breathtaking views of Cinque Terre. We visited La Spezia, Portovenere and Pisa. The owner was very helpful and stayed in contact with during our stay, aswered all our questions and provided all information. If you are interested in relaxation, hiking, scenery it is the the perfect choice for you! A little bit of paradise in Monesteroli!

A very nice, clean and with good taste restored stone house. Full equipped; there is nothing missing, that could be needed. The terrace was really appreciated; large, quiet and with this superb view on the sea. It is there we spent the most time. If you are not afraid of walking down, then up again, about 1000 steps, it is really worth going to the seaside to take a bath. We really enjoyed it, because this steep track to the seaside is a unique experience. It belongs to this stay, that i would call a stay in the wild. As it takes about 20 minutes walking to reach the car, it doesn't make sense, having a lot of activities needing to take the car (like shopping, night clubs, restaurants, a.s.o). But the very most interesting sites to be seen around, especially the Cinque Terre, are reachable by foot, via absolute unforgettable tracks with permanent view on the seaside. It is the right and dreamed place to have a quiet and restful stay, if you like a natural life in the wild, sea bathing, sunset from the terrace and unforgettable walks.

We rented this property to celebrate our combined 50th birthdays and were not disappointed. Not only are the views fabulous, but the house is equally amazing!! Luca, the owner, has done a truly incredible job renovating this historic house. We were very impressed!! He was also very helpful and accomodating while we were planning our trip. We ate our meals on the stone porch marveling at the scenery from our high perspective on the mountain. Then we fell asleep to the sounds of the sea. Our stay was incredibly relaxing and rejeuvenating. The stone house was very clean and the kitchen was stocked with all the ammenities we needed. We would recommend this house to anyone who would like to make memories that will last a lifetime!! Simply Amazing!!!!

We loved it to eat at the terasse with this beautiful view to the cost of cinque terre. Children loved to shower outside and to have their own room. Last year we lived at Fossola an had a long way to the swimming place. So we enjoyed it, to climb only ca. 1000 steps down and up. It is a wonderful place to swim. We missed some bowls in the kitchen to put in food we cocked. And we were very astonished not to find a parmesan rub in an Italien kitchen! It was good, that christina showed us the way. Your description was perfect, but if someone personaly shows the way, it is easier. One point we were not happy. We arrived after a long trip, carried the luggage in the hot sun. Then we had to wait till the house was cleaned. You arrive in the smell and the dirt of people that left. That was not nice. And I was not content how Christina cleaned the house. She cleaned only the very nessecery places. The bath rooms and the kitchen. In the kitchen their hung dust under the steps. She did not clean the floors in the beed rooms. She was stressed because the power did not work and 6 person wear sitting their and waiting. Maybe therefor she cleaned bad. But otherwise I have no idea how to manage it. It is not possible first to clean the house and then come to La Spezia to pick up the people. But we had a good time. My husband allways looked at the house nearer the village Monesteroli. There is one house for "vendere". But I can imagine, what a hard work it is, to rebild this houses. Thank you for the possibility of this famose place. Catherine Langenbach Heusel

A very special property situated on a steep hill close to a fantastic bay. You need to be in good shape to get to and from the sea since it is a steep stair with many, many steps to get down. But the bay is fantastic, and there aren´t many places in Liguria you can be almost alone at the seaside in August! We had charming (but warm) walks both to Campiglia and Porto Venere and from another neighbor-village to Monesteroli. We travelled with kids aged 7 and 9 and a teenager. They also liked it here. The house is charming, but it´s not a place of material luxury... The luxury comes in the form of fantastic sunsets, fabolous wiew of the bay and surroundings out of your dreams!
