"The house is wet. Covers(blankets) smell stuffy, stench. The air conditioning is noisy. The door of TOILETS / SDB does not close. Good rent for 2 persons only because convertible in the not comfortable lounge(show) of the whole. Slept the mattress on the ground.

Overall a very nice stay. The one drawback of this property is the walk to get there....a lot of steps to property from main street. We had suitcases and while we appreciated the good work out; it was a lot to deal with on a repeat trips into town.
My friends and I spent 4 glorious nights here. Everything was as expected and the host was so kind and welcoming. She provided us with a home stay with a well equipped family cottage that was cozy and full of charming character. This is a place where we could absolutely come back to!
We spent a week in this lovely home in October, and can wholeheartedly recommend. The home is very spacious for two people, with plenty of closet space, extra blankets for chilly autumn nights, plentiful hot water and a nicely-equipped kitchen.
Hostess Allessandra and her helper, Eduardo, were accessible and helpful. We enjoyed a visit to Allessandra's adorable shop in Levanto.
The home is very private and peaceful with a lovely sea view. Can't wait to return!!
The property was clean and had everything we needed. The owner even left us with a great bottle of wine. Owner was very prompt in responding to any of our questions. Note: 161 steps
We enjoyed our stay here. Close to the train station; mostly uphill but nothing compared to the hiking trails. Easy walk to the beach and restaurants. Loved having a washer available (bring clothespins if you plan on using). AC worked great, bathroom was roomy by European standards. We would stay again!
A bit up the hill for walking, but thats Cinque Terre. Would like to have a clothes dryer as clothes took 3 days to dry. Good air conditioning for the hot days.
Alessandraâs property is clean as a pin and a beautiful setting. It has a lovely well kept and shaded front yard, which we used the whole time we were there. The kitchen, bathroom are well set up, and maintained. Everything functioned perfectly. We couldnât have asked for a better location or hostess. Edward was able get us in and show about the property, and the guide book was self explanatory. Our communication with Alessandra was on a need to know basis, and worked out perfectly. This was our second time to the Cinque Terre, but our first time to Monterosso and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
The location is perfect, I think monterosso is probably the best town to stay in - itâs flat and the only town with a ârealâ beach. Would have loved to have beach towels (and maybe an extra towel or 2 in general). No toiletries provided, but thatâs fine, there were stores in town to buy shampoo and body wash etc. Only thing I was unexpectedly asked to pay for parking in cash. Kind of strange as the listing says parking is provided. Bed not the most comfortable, however I notice this is a regular occurrence across France / Italy. The location and the peacefulness of the place is unbeatable. Seriously. Would recommend, the other towns get waaay too busy and I can imagine would be extremely difficult with luggage. The home is in a safe and quiet location. The kind of area you can imagine living in. Easy checkin. No complaints. View of mountains and ocean from the front yard is a dream. I only wish I was in cinque terre longer.
We really didnât know what to expect as it was our first time to Italy and Monterosso. After a busy and intense few days in Milan, we were warmly welcomed by Edward who was assisting the lovely Alessandra our host. The bottle of wine and Easter eggs were a lovely touch. The property is perched upon a hill overlooking the town. The view is simply stunning. The property is a good size for our family of 4 and our young kids had no trouble sharing a bed.
Edward gave lovely recommendations for local restaurants, supermarket and bakery. We were only a few minutes from the town centre either by the road or the stairs of which there are approximately 170.
I loved being able to get locally made pesto and pasta and to cook it at the property and eat it admiring the view. I also sat there daydreaming of when we can come back!
Thank you again to Alessandra! Molto grazie Alessandra!
We came to Cinque Terre to celebrate our mother's 83rd birthday! Alessandra surprised us with a wonderful cake and a bottle of wine! The accommodations were great and Roberto's restaurants suggestions were superb!! We (except for my mom) could walk to and from the new and old sections of MonteRosso easily. I would definitely go back and stay!
Ciao Ciao Mare e Alessandra, Roberto e Claudia!
Arriverderci!
