    Perfect flat for a family with a toddler
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Apartment with Sea View
    • Stayed 5 nights

    The shower pressure is a low, the mattress in the bedroom is quite soft (a matter of preference).

    The location was absolutely perfect for us. Minutes from the beach and playground (one of two in Monterosso), right above a mini-market. Paolo the host was very helpful and communicative and came to meet us when we arrived. The flat was wonderful with blackout blinds, separate bedrooms, a lovely balcony. If you are coming with a small child or baby (we were with our 1.5-year-old toddler) absolutely choose this place. We loved our stay and would stay again, and Monterosso is a great base for exploring the Cinque Terre.

    The host, Paolo's apartment was very near the train station. He met us halfway from the train station to his place, since we have two big luggages.. Paolo helped us bring our luggages to his apartment and also gave us a bottle of white wine and lemoncello which came from his vineyard and farm in Levanto. Overall, we felt very welcomed and will not hesistate to stay at Paolo's place again and recommend his place to others who intend to go to Monterosso Al Mare.

    Paolo not only greeted us but helped us with our luggage and ensured we were welcomed inside and comfortable with how everything worked. The apartment is a 5 minute walk from the train station. The apartment was clean, comfortable and spacious for my husband, myself and our daughter. We also got to wake up every morning to our ocean view- it was phenomenal. Paolo was so warm and gracious and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and his kindness. We would love to come back and highly recommend booking his place!

    Cannot think of anything that could have been better.

    First of all, Paolo, the owner, is the nicest man! He met us to introduce us to the flat and give us the keys. Super helpful, truly wanting to be of service and to provide an excellent experience. It is evident in every detail how much thought and love he put into creating this fully equipped apartment. The location is great. Right around the corner from the train station. A full market right beneath us, and another very good bodega around the corner. It is an easy walk to the old part of Monterosso, along the gorgeous promenade on the sea. It was impeccably clean and comfortable.

    This property is conveniently located near the beach, grocery, train station, restaurants, and shopping. It has been beautifully updated and includes modern conveniences and all the amenities you need for either short or long term stays. Paolo is incredibly hospitable and accessible and was quick to respond to any questions we had both before and after arrival. I highly recommend this spacious property and will certainly book this apartment when returning to Italy.

    Excellent customer service, we had such a wonderful stay. A very well equipped apartment with additional touches such as washing machine liquid capsules, beach towels and umbrella, air conditioning and automated shutters on windows. The view from the main bedroom and balcony was fabulous. Paolo looked after us like family, even giving us a gift of a bottle of white wine and limoncello. He spent time with us explaining how everything worked and had up to date and various information on things to do, maps, time tables and commentary. A wonderful location close to the main beach strip, restaurants and supermarket. We would highly recommend staying at 'Home away from home's and would love to go back again one day. Thank you.

    Would be nice to have darker curtains to block out the sun. The sound of the train can be heard from the apartment. Pillows were on the firm side.

    Close to the beach, train station and grocery store. Super clean apartment and good amenities (laundry, elevator). Responsive hosts for all my questions. Super kind host provided homemade limoncello.

    We loved everything about this apartment. It was a wonderful home base for our time in Cinque Terre. We had a view of the sea from both our bedroom window and our balcony. It is located just one block from the new town beach, and a short walk to everything in Monterosso. There is a grocery store downstairs. The apartment has air conditioning, a washing machine, fully stocked kitchen, etc. and Paolo, our host, was wonderful and so responsive! He helped us reserve parking in advance, greeted us on our arrival with so much helpful information, and even had a bottle of his own wine and his mother’s limoncello waiting in the fridge. My husband loved the chance to use his limited Italian talking to Paolo.
