Monterosso al mare - Old Town - 5 Terre CIN IT011019C2ZIWM9HKK

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 property was right in the centre of Monterosso. Great location and close to shops, food markets, bars and restaurants. Trains were close by as well. Our host Yrasema was wonderful. She provided very detailed instructions on how to get to the parking lot and even sent photos to show the way to the apartment which was a great help. She reached out daily and provided suggestions for restaurants and activities. I would recommend this lodging to anyone interested in staying in Monterosso.

I can not say enough about this place! We stopped here in Monterosso after a stressful work trip and Yrasema is by far, one of the most incredible hospitable, friendly people I have rented from and this is my third trip to Italy and I have stayed in many places!! Not only for the reasons I have five stars on, but her warmth ,Attentiveness and kindness are unsurpassed!!!! Cinque Stelli per la Regina de cinque terre !!!

Extra helpful hosts, and amazing location. The AC came in extra helpful.

Though we rented this 2 bedroom unit, when we arrived there were sheets only on the bed in the larger bedroom. When we contacted the owner, we were informed that since there were only two of us, we were expected to share the one bed and if we wanted sheets for the second bedroom, we needed to pay an additional 20 euro. When the owner was advised that we would not pay, and we would write a critical review if she insisted on the additional payment, she accused us of blackmail. Frankly, in our view, her demand for additional payment for sheets for the second bedroom was more accurately described as extortion. She grudgingly provided sheets the following day, which we had to put on the bed. The only other notable issue with the property is the 50 stairs from the street to the unit. In fairness, we were advised by the owner well in advance of these stairs. However, after 26 hours of travel, (3 planes and 3 trains), these narrow, outdoor, winding, stone steps were backbreaking.

We enjoyed our stay, the owner was in contact to help with our needs. The apartment was convenient to ammenities, clean and just what we needed for after staying in hotels. I would suggest that some of the appliances, such as the washer, had instructions on its use in English.

Close to the downtown and beach

The owner obviously takes a lot of pride in her apartment and has decorated it in a wonderful beach theme. She was personable and communicative. The location of the property is great. The steep stairs were a bit difficult with suitcases, but very manageable otherwise. We really enjoyed our stay there.....and there was a washing machine which was great.

Beautiful apartment stacked with amenities (including a full kitchen, washing machine, balcony, etc). Very clean and comfortable. It is apparent that a lot of love, time, and effort have been poured into the residence; it truly feels like a home away from home. Location is ideal, 2 minutes from the main square and beach but just far enough to avoid any noise issues. The host was gracious and helpful and offered advise on local restaurants, pastry shops, etc. I really can’t imagine our stay in Monterosso being so perfect had we stayed anywhere else. Be warned, there are about 20 uneven steps up to the apartment. My wife and I welcomed the exercise after our daily gelato but I can see these being an issue for those less fit or dealing with strollers or excessive luggage.

Great hostess! Always in communication. Very homey unit

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.

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.

Cozy! Yrasema Toro was kind, gracious, her communication was outstanding

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!

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.

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.

My family felt at home when staying at Sol y Mar. We would definitely choose to stay there again!

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.

The host, Yrasema, was very friendly and kind. She sent us lots of helpful information during our stay and responded quickly to questions. Don’t worry about the stairs up to the property. They were easy if you are moderately fit. The apartment was comfortable and very clean. She also left useful things like beach shoes, beach umbrellas, towels, and toys. As well as umbrellas for rain. The kitchen is well stocked. The apartment is steps away from the best shops and restaurants. There is also quick and easy access to the train station and the ferry boat dock.
