Our stay was amazing and Luisa is a fabulous host! She was easy to reach and communicate with, and even met us at the property. She left gifts for us--prosecco and sweets--such a lovely and welcoming gesture. The view from the living/dining room is breathtaking, and sitting out on the balcony having our coffee and prosecco was heaven. The location is superb, right in the heart of Monterosso al Mare, steps from the water. Steps from restaurants, cafes, and shops. I highly recommend Tosca Bistrot to eat--the owner doubles as the server and her gnocci is to die for. The apartment is clean, nice, spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. Our 6-year-old daughter loved it as well. I would definitely stay here again! We even had a rental car since we were touring all over the area--we parked in the public garage which is like 1 block from the house, it allows 24-hour parking. that garage is up a hill from the house, and, the stairs at the house are very steep, but Cinque Terre in general is mountainous and there are tons of steep steps everywhere. For me, it's great, I love getting my exercise, especially after all the pasta and wine I have in Italy! Highly recommend this beautiful house!!!
