Description

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.
- For safety reasons, we cannot accommodate children under 12 years.
- Additional guests beyond the first two will incur an extra daily fee. Please refer to your "Booking Summary" for more details.

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!
