Andrea has a wonderful property in the heart of Monterosso, it’s a wonderful place to stay to explore cinque Terre - perfect location, great air conditioning, comfortable beds would absolutely stay here again again!
Comfortable, well-appointed apartment in the heart of old Monterosso
The apartment is comfortable and homey, clean, and with new appliances. It could sleep four easily in two bedrooms, plus a dining room/living room and large kitchen. The location could not be better, in the heart of the old side of Monterosso, in the midst of cafes, bars, and restaurants, but very quiet in the evenings. It's about a 10 minute walk from the train station, over terrain that is easy enough with a roller bag. Highly recommended.
My boyfriend and I stayed at this unit in June and loved everything about it. The location was perfect, right above a delicious restaurant. The street was relatively quiet at night, as we were not in the apartment during the day. Monterosso was our favorite stop on the trip and we greatly appreciated Andrea's hospitality. We will stay here again when we return to Italy!
The apartment had everything we needed including a washing machine and air conditioning units. Andrea accommodated an earlier check in for us. You may need to use a translation app since Andrea doesn’t speak English. Beautiful apartment in a great neighborhood.
Andrea was a wonderful host. She checked in days before we arrived and arranged for a time to meet at the apartment. The listing was described accurately. There is a Steep set of stairs to access property, which isn’t unexpected in location, but definitely something to be aware of if traveling with someone who might have difficulty with stairs. Wonderful property would definitely stay again.

Wonderful location right in the heart of town -- really couldn't be better! Nicely renovated apartment that even includes air conditioning, which was critical during our hot and humid August visit. Parking is a challenge, so be prepared ahead of time; we didn't do our homework and couldn't find the correct spot in time for the taxi, so we ended up parking in the expensive beach lot. Regardless, a classic Italian experience!
My wife and I stayed at Andrea's apt. for two nights in October.
Communication with the owner was great, the apartment was very nice and clean, the bed was comfortable and the location is in the heart of Old Town. It's a 10-15 minute walk from the train and 10 minutes to the trail that links Monterosso al Mare to Vernazza. The trail was absolutely beautiful, it took us about two hours to complete (a pretty big climb up and then down) and was worth every step.
We arrived in Monterosso a little earlier then the check-in time and Andrea made arrangements for getting us in early.
Overall I would definitely recommend this apartment to friends.
Thanks Andrea for all your help.
We were so happy with the location and convenience of the property. A challenging drive to get to the car drop off area, but communication with the owner and personal contact with them made it so much easier. Their English is not wonderful but we could communicate our needs. We were in the old part of the town and loved being there. The 17 step walk up was challenging with the luggage, but doable. The 2 bedroom apartment, kitchen and bathroom were adequate but I felt the bathroom needed a good cleaning as well as the mat. No living room...at the dining room table you could sit and watch TV, but who would want to do that when visiting this town.
The restaurant directly below the property is very good but get reservations by emailing. It was a simple process...plus the waitress that looks like Meghan Markle was delightful! The bar across from the property was excellent and fun to speak to the other tourists.
We loved Monterosso and the ease of getting around the area!
Was a great experience. Absolutely perfect for the location and Monterosso experience. The place is old & the power will go out on you frequently if you use the AC but it’s all part of the adventure. You’ll have to carry your bags from the train station through the tunnel to old town (for those of you who haven’t ever been to Monterosso) and up one flight of stairs once you reach the apartment door, but it’s manageable.
The apartment is well located and very-well equipped. Andrea was sick so his wife Gianna met us and introduced us to the apartment and Monterosso/Cinque Terre. Even without any English she was able to give us the information we needed. The apartment had a good supply of necessary tourist information including the train and ferry schedules for visiting all five lands.
The trains operate every 10-20 minutes about 17 hours a day and are free with a pass to the national park (necessary to hike any of the trails).
The apartment is right in the heart of the "action" with many good restaurants within 7 minutes' walking time, 50 ft. from a small grocery store and 0-5 minutes of many interesting shops.
The air conditioning was capable of freezing us out, but was easily controlled with a remote control, and the laundry worked well.
The view of the entire Cinque Terre from the beach--about 3-4 minutes' walk away, on a clear day or erening, is stunning.
Monterosso is a lot of "place", especially for such a small town. The Cinque Terre are definitely not to be missed, and Borgo Antico is a great base from which to experience it.
Great location and plenty of space. Kitchen was well stocked (except for wine glasses). It would be nice if there was a couch or chairs to sit in (there were two dining tables and eight straight chairs, taking a set out would leave room for a small living area). Fairly old but kept up; we were comfortable there for two nights and loved being so close to everything. The apartment felt safe.

Fantastic, Very central location and attentive hosts. Clean apartment, with all the kitchen items we needed. It is not very soundproof, with lots of noise from the street below and other flats.

UN THE HEART OF MONTEROSSO
Flat is perfectly situated!! Central to everything in Monterosso!!
Train 5 min walk. Vernazza is 2 min away on train.
Only reason I did not give 5 stars was that heat at night seemed to not heat flat even if I raised temp on thermostat.
This place is perfect to explore Cinque Terre!!

Great location
Right in the center of town. A bit loud due to the restaurant underneath. Not as many amenities as we have had at our other VRBO’s. We cook but had a hard time due to no olive oil or salt and pepper. When you are flying you do not carry that stuff.
There were also 3 of us but only 2 large towels so sitting in the beach was a bit uncomfortable.
Owner was friendly and worked very hard to communicate with us even with our language barrier-which we very much appreciated!
Loved Monterosso. This was our second trip there and hope to go back.

Great location, in the heart of the village
We were met by the owners wife, and she took us up to our room, showed us where everything was. Nice and spacious, with almost everything you could need. Don't forget to bring your own coffee and sugar, for the mornings. It is right above some of the restaurants, and the smells will drive you down to eat, but make sure to make a reservation as they fill up quickly. The church bells were quite charming. Everything about the place is charming in fact. The windows that open up to the village, can have you sitting there just people watching. Being 5 minutes walk from the beach if you'd like a day off to relax is perfect too. Clean and as advertised if not better. We will stay there again on our next trip!

Wonderful historic apartment
We had a fabulous stay in the historic apartment of Andrea located in old town Monterosso. The location could not have been better for visiting the village - it was central to everything and did not require walking up steep hills or many steps to be in town. It is a bit noisy outside the windows at night due to Eliseo’s bar downstairs (a nice place for a drink) but quiets down around midnight . Andrea was thoughtful enough to pick us up at the train station, which is a lifesaver for those who travel with large suitcases. She is very sweet and even though there was a language barrier, she used a translation app to make everything go smoothly. I would stay in this apartment again anytime - just know that there are no kitchen basics at all such as oil, salt, pepper, etc, so if you plan to prepare any meals you will have to shop for everything. We loved the town and apartment but as a final word, there is a rather steep staircase entering the building up to the apartment door so it would not be a good choice for elderly or unstable travelers.

Fantastic stay in Monterosso al Mare
We loved our time at Andrea's apartment in Monterosso - there were two bedrooms (one double and one with three single beds), a shared family bathroom, living area with large table and a kitchen/diner so plenty of room (we were three single females but it would easily suit a family). The location is extremely central and is accessible by one flight of stairs. No air-con, but this reflected in the price, and fans were provided for each bedroom and although it was hot and humid, the fans were sufficient. Andrea was very obliging, helping us with parking and transport into Monterosso. Would definitely recommend Andrea's apartment and I would absolutely stay here again. PS - the restaurant directly below the apartment is absolutely fantastic, a must go-to.
