About this villa rental

Submerge yourself in the awe of the sea within our cherished coastal retreat, elegantly designed to coexist with its natural surroundings. As Frank Lloyd Wright aptly put it, "No house should ever be on the sea or on anything. It should be of the sea. Belonging to it. Sea and house should live together, each enhancing the other."

Our coastal refuge, affectionately frequented by our family and friends, opened its doors to Vrbo and Homeway guests in 2015. We've ensured our personal belongings and carefully selected furnishings create a homely ambiance, making you feel like a homeowner rather than a transient occupant. We hope you will value your time here as much as we do.
Don‘t just take our word for it.

As one of our esteemed guests once remarked, "From the moment you arrive in Monterosso, you know you‘ve made the best choice by staying at this vacation home."
Perched on a rock at the heart of Monterosso's bay, our detached house is a mere five meters from the sea. A comprehensive renovation in 2012 ensured modern comforts such as air conditioning, heating, and a stable Wi-Fi connection. In 2023, we further augmented the comfort of our home by installing new windows and doors, offering improved thermal and acoustic insulation.

Our home features a spacious living room and a cozy double room, both opening onto a sea-facing terrace. This outdoor space is furnished with a dining table, chairs, an outdoor shower, and a private staircase leading directly to the sea. Please be advised that due to its elevation, the terrace may not be suitable for children due to the risk of falling.

Additional amenities include a second bedroom with a sizable bunk bed, two bathrooms (one equipped with a shower), and a fully-appointed kitchen for culinary enthusiasts. Each room provides ample closet space, a desk, and two chairs.

Access to the house is via a ramp staircase that leads to a functional courtyard with laundry facilities. Our coastal sanctuary encapsulates a unique blend of minimal material comforts and maximum spiritual stimulation, echoing a sailor's affinity for the sea. The advantages of our location are evident: location, location, location!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- The house is only accessible via stairs and may not be suitable for individuals with mobility issues or wheelchair users.
- Our home is approximately 550 meters away from the railway station. A public cab service is available.
- The house does not provide private parking. The nearest public pay parking is approximately 800 meters away, and a public cab service is available.

SAFETY REMINDER
- During the vibrant summer months, please be vigilant with your belongings in crowded areas, such as trains and train stations, which are often targeted by pickpockets. A bit of caution ensures a safe and enjoyable holiday!

We loved it. Great location overlooking the beach and part of town. We were greeted by Christina and she was very attentive. It was a nice surprise, we were not expecting to be greeted. She is so nice 😀 The apartment had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.

We had an excellent stay and enjoyed the property immensely. Cristina was an excellent manager and was very very helpful when we had train issues. She went above and beyond to help us out. True Customer Service! I would come back again and again. Really really nice place and wonderful people!

Enrico and Elena’s place is the best in Monterosso. It was great waking up and walking out on the balcony to watch the sunrise! So many great restaurant options in old town Monterosso, all a quick walk away. It is also very close to the ferry dock, if you want to take that between the other villages. Highly recommend this VRBO and would definitely stay here again!

We were at the end of a two-week vacation with our boys (17 and 15) and this place was the most amazing place to cap off an already spectacular trip! We had a bit of trouble finding the place but were beyond excited when we finally arrived. It was August so the weather was HOT - we really appreciated having air with the ability to adjust temperature in every room. We were lucky enough to have front row seats (from the balcony) on our very first night to a string quartet playing on the plaza below! We will definitely be back!
