Pretty White house - Stunning Villa by the beach

My daughter and stayed at the pretty White House and absolutely loved it! The property was beautiful, house clean, beds comfortable! We loved the 1 minute walk to the beach. Everything was so close. Giovani was a great help and communicated very well with changes and checkin. He was is a gracious and wonderful host! I look forward to retuning to this lively home again with my family! I highly recommend it!

This house is in a perfect location! It was like a dream. There were 3 terraces to sit/eat on; each with a spectacular view. It is surrounded by a variety of trees and plants but there are large breaks between the limbs so you can see the ocean as well. When we were home we were definitely outside! Inside is very comfortable with many conveniences: clothes washer, dish washer, blow dryer, iron… Just know that the prongs for the blow dryer and iron do not fit into the outlets. You will find adapters in a bedside table in the master bedroom.

This is the perfect location! Tucked away on the hill, the views are amazing and you aren't in the thick of things. Easy walk to the beach, shops and restaurants. The host is very responsive and helpful! Giovanni was available to answer questions and to set up tours and transportation! He made it easy for us! As stated before, there is a pretty tight spiral staircase, but it wasn't a problem for us.

The Host Giovanni was so nice, accommodating, and responsive and helped me out when my travel plans changed which was so appreciated. The home is up the hill away from the busy town which makes it very private and the deck is lovely (but both deck and sitting area on ground floor were dusty, not washed off, before we arrived). It is a beach house without TV and A/C, just two fans, which is our style. The two bedroom floor fans were older but worked great. As we found around Italy, little things missing like no trash cans in the house and no shelves in shower (one shower did have a shelf). As another reviewer mentioned the walk up the hill and spiral staircase can be challenging for some people. The beds were very comfortable. We loved the views from the deck, walking up the path, the bedroom window and the downstairs kitchen window. The views were gorgeous. We found the little beach to the right of Il Gigante was less crowded and quieter than in town. Giovanni is an amazing host and made sure we were comfortable and had what we needed and gave us good tips and info.

The Pretty White House was in a good location near the beach and restaurants. Giovanni was easy to reach and responsive. We wished we had a fan for every room as it was very warm when we stayed. It should be noted for guests with mobility issues that the driveway to the house is fairly steep and uneven. There is also a narrow spiral staircase to reach the bedrooms and bathrooms on the second floor. Overall, a decent place to stay. We loved Monterosso Al Mare and enjoyed our time there!

The location was fabulous - away from day trippers but easy to get to new town and old town. It was not clear that both bathrooms and all bedrooms were up a spiral staircase. There was a problem with electric outlets and owner handled right away. Enjoyed our visit - but folks with any mobility issues need to know about spiral staircase.....

Wow! That best describes our amazing stay in Monterosso Al Mare. The house was perfectly located at the north end right behind Il Gigante and the tower in a secluded gated community with lots of shady trees. I say perfectly located because it was away from the plague of locust like cruise ship tour groups and is about 1 minute walk to the beach. Loved the outside spaces and the big open windows. If you want to do something memorable have Giovanni (the owner) put you in touch with his friend Daniella for an evening cooking class at her beautiful home 5 minutes away. 5 Stars, Gazie Giovanni!

Giovanni was by far the best part of our trip! He helped us make reservations to the best restaurants in town and hooked us up with a local chef for a cooking class and a private boat tour of all 5 Terre’s! We had an absolutely amazing time! The location of this house was in new town and so easy to get anywhere and it had parking. We didn’t drive anywhere! 2mins from the beach! We loved our vacation there

Monterosso al Mare is a beautiful spot. Easy access by walking, beautiful beach, little or no car traffic. Very family friendly.

The Pretty White House was perfect for our family of 4. Our 2 boys had their own rooms, which was a huge bonus for them, and ours had the walkout to the beautiful patio, perfect for enjoying a glass of wine at the end of the day while breathing in all that gorgeous sea air. The location was excellent, close to everything and everywhere and the slight incline up to the house made us feel we were getting just the right amount of exercise after all of the eating we did! After having visited the other towns of the Cinque Terre now, we are very happy that we chose Monterosso for our stay. It was fabulous. The hiking was spectacular, the ease of getting everywhere can't be beat, and it's all within a short distance of the accommodations. Then, at the end of a long day, the Pretty White House was a perfect place to get away from it all, and to rest our tired bodies. Beds were comfortable, the house was clean and tidy, and there was plenty of space for all of us to relax. Communications with Giovanni were always easy and timely, and the check-in process was quick and thorough. We had no concerns or questions left unanswered. Would recommend Giovanni and the Pretty White House for a lovely stay in Cinque Terre. Thank you Giovanni!
