Villa Tanca is a charming 5 bedroom private villa with stunning views in the old village of Monterosso. Its unique position on the beach of the village and on the main square makes this property the ideal solution for a comfortable and memorable stay in the Cinque Terre. Sheltered by the shade and quiet of the woods, this luxurious destination was built to accommodate those looking to spend quality time with loved ones. Furnishing is simple and a little dated, but the large spaces are an added value because they are very rare in the Cinque Terre. Bathrooms have been updated in 2022 with new bathtubs. AC has been added in each bedroom.
The Villa
Villa Tanca is a great architectural project from the late 60's - early 70's. A linear construction that develops on two floors.
The Villa is not accessible by car. Cars must be parked in one of Monterosso public car parking areas and the property can only be reached on foot from the promenade or from the old town via an uphill path that connects the old village to the cloister of the Capuchin Friars.
Villa Tanca will amaze you with its large amount of memories that the owners are happy to share with their guests.

Franco Tanca, true son of Monterosso, always dreamed of being able to see the Cinque Terre from his bedroom window. In 1969, his dream came true. This is the reason why he built this villa right on the main square and on the beach of Monterosso. It is also the reason why the house's linear architecture is interrupted at one's bedroom. That room had to face the sea, so that every morning he could wake up to admire the friendly waters of the Mediterranean from his bed.
