About this property
Sol y Mar Monterosso al Mare - Old Town - Cinque Terre CIN IT011019C2ZIWM9HKK
The house is located in the center of the ancient village of Monterosso, accessed via an external staircase of about 50 steps from Via Buranco and is located 100 meters from the beach and 10 minutes walk from the station. The area is quiet and ideal for a relaxing stay. In the immediate vicinity is the supermarket, bars, restaurants etc. The nearest beaches are both free and paid. A few meters from the apartment are the accesses for the paths of the 5 Terre and for boarding the ferries. The ancient part of Monterosso al Mare is characterized by several places where you can taste a glass of wine or eat a plate of pasta with pesto or fresh fish. The 5 Terre is the ideal place for those who want to relax by taking a swim at the beach or sunbathing on the beach as well as for those who want to take a walk through the vineyards or along the sea passing from one village to another. My advice is also to take a boat ride to admire the 5 Terre from the sea.

Yrasema our host was terrific. She helped with every aspect of our stay in Monteserro. Her apartment felt like home and had everything we needed. She told us of the lemon festival which we attended and had a great time.
Centrally located in the old district, with it's quirky little laneways to give its charm
The house is compact, clean with everything on hand that you need when your travelling
Yrasema was the most perfect host, she was there to meet us and show us around
We could not have been better looked after
Gratzie mille Yrasema
We had a great stay at Sol y Mar. Great communication, a lovely welcoming apartment and great location. It worked out really well - even with a 7 and 9 year old. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.
The location was conveniently located in the old town. The place had a home like feel and all the conveniences you would expect. The host, Yrasema, was exceptionally helpful, friendly and communicative. The 47 uneven stairs were challenging for our old legs, especially with luggage.
Our family had a wonderful time in this lovely Monterosso home. Host is very sweet, attentive and helpful. Location is perfect - walking to the hiking trails, beach, restaurants and train station was super convenient and enjoyable. Such a beautiful town and comfy home.

Extra helpful hosts, and amazing location. The AC came in extra helpful.
This is a beautiful property that is kept clean and fully stocked. The owner is so nice and is very good at communicating quickly. She also gave great recommendations for our meals. This is a perfect apartment for a family, our family of 4 was very comfortable here. We fell in love with Monterosso and will be back.

Great spot near the center of town!
We really enjoyed staying here, it was very comfortable and quiet. The owner was very responsive and helpful, and could not have been nicer. It has a great kitchen, although we didn’t use too much of it, it is well equipped. I would definitely stay here again!
Perfect apartment in the old town of Monterosso. Everything about this location was perfect and it’s in the heart of the old town. Great location to the beach and many food options. Plus owner was very accommodating and provided recommendations for food and the best bakery in the city. If we go back we will definitely stay here, plus the AC was a plus. Thank you Yrasema for being a great host!

We absolutely fell in love with montessoro. This location could not and better. Walked any number of restaurants or cafes or for some groceries and make your own snack in the apartment. Walk the beach. It was just delightful. Also our host was so lovely and communicative. Making sure we had everything we needed and offering suggestions. We would love to come again another time!
This apartment couldn’t have been a more comfortable place for my family while visiting cinque terre …..Thankyou so much for all the help and for making us feel at home ❤️
The property was fantastic and location even better. You are immersed into old town Monterosso and yet have privacy. If you want to experience the culture of Cinque Terre this is the place for you. Lastly, the property owner Yrasema was an absolute delight. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable experience!
The location was primo for location - only steps to restaurants, gelato and a free beach with so much more a short walk away. Generously provided beach gear and everything we needed for our favorite meal of fresh local pasta and pesto from the market at the foot of our steps. The hostess graciously also shared helpful recommendations and responded to our questions faster and more compety than any i have stayed with.
Our host was wonderful with clear communication upon our arrival, offered restaurant recommendations, and any information we needed to navigate Cinque Terre. We loved staying in the old section with amazing restaurants just steps away. It is close to the ferry and the entrance to the hiking trails. The apartment is clean and comfortable.
