Summary:

The I Limoni flat sits inside historic Villa Montale, an elegant 19th-century residence on a panoramic hillside in Fegina, Monterosso al Mare — the villa was once home to poet Eugenio Montale, winner of the 1975 Nobel Prize in Literature. Interiors with original frescoes, Genoese mosaic floors and refined furnishings evoking 19th-century noble style. A welcome package awaits, designed for our large villas: trofie pasta, pesto, a bottle of local wine and taggiasca olives, plus milk, orange juice and some seasonal fruit already in the fridge — the first evening's dinner is almost ready. 150 sqm, first floor, sleeps up to 11.

Garden shared with the villa's other apartments, with a dedicated area for the I Limoni flat with a table and chairs.

Other Things to Note:

Special rules: no parties over Christmas, New Year or other periods; during the Christmas holidays, families only, no groups of young people. Small dogs only, on a lead in communal areas, not on beds or sofas. Heating switched off from 1 April to 1 November.



We leave a few breakfast basics in the kitchen for your first morning (croissants, biscuits, jam, tea, coffee, portioned powdered milk, sugar); where a kitchen is available, also our award-winning extra virgin olive oil from a local producer whose mill and honey production can be visited on one of our experiences, plus salt and washing-up liquid, and washing machine/dishwasher pods where fitted. Bed and bath linen included, with shower gel, conditioner, body wash and hand soap. Professional cleaning.



Our concierge office in Vernazza is open 9:30am–7:00pm from 1 March to 31 October; outside this period the office is closed, with presence available on request. We're always happy to welcome guests staying in any of the other villages too, whether for a quick hello or for advice on local experiences and activities.

Interaction with Guests:

⚠ ASSISTED CHECK-IN ONLY — no self check-in available. Our team welcomes guests in person at the agreed time. Standard hours 3:00pm–7:00pm; late check-in 7:00pm–8:00pm carries a €50 supplement, 8:00pm–10:00pm carries an €80 supplement; no check-in possible after 10:00pm — past this hour car parks close, night trains are rare and often delayed or cancelled, and the villages fall quiet with no one around who could really help anyway: far better to plan a calm arrival the next day.
