About this villa rental

Submerge yourself in the beauty of the sea at our cherished coastal retreat, thoughtfully designed to exist in harmony with its surroundings. As Frank Lloyd Wright once said: "No house should ever be on the sea or on anything. It should be of the sea. Belonging to it. Sea and house should live together, each enhancing the other."

Our home, long enjoyed by family and friends, has welcomed Vrbo and HomeAway guests since 2015. Every detail—from our personal touches to the carefully chosen furnishings—creates a sense of belonging. Guests often tell us they feel less like visitors and more like residents of Monterosso.

Perched on a rock in the heart of the bay, the house sits just five meters from the sea. Fully renovated in 2012 and further updated in 2023 with new windows and doors, it offers comfort and efficiency through air conditioning, heating, and reliable Wi-Fi.

Inside, a spacious living room and a cozy double bedroom open directly onto a sea-facing terrace. This outdoor area includes a dining table, chairs, an outdoor shower, and a private staircase leading straight to the water. Please note: due to its height, the terrace is not suitable for children.

The property also includes a second bedroom with a large bunk bed, two bathrooms (one with shower), and a fully equipped kitchen for cooking enthusiasts. Each room has generous storage, a desk, and seating.

Access to the house is via a ramped staircase leading to a small courtyard with laundry facilities. Our seaside haven combines minimal material comforts with maximum emotional connection—an experience that truly belongs to the sea.

And of course: Location, Location, Location!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- Access is by stairs only; the property is not suitable for guests with mobility issues or wheelchairs.
- The house is about 550 m from the train station (public cab service available).
- No private parking. The nearest public pay parking is about 800 m away (cab service available).

Best location you can get. Well built with great views and access. Property needs a little bit more love from locals managing it. I intend to speak to Elena about it. This could be a very good property if managed with a little bit more care

We had a wonderful stay at this apartment in Monterosso. The location was fantastic, right overlooking the water, with beautiful views and easy access to everything the town has to offer.Our host was incredibly accommodating and flexible when our train was delayed, making the check-in process completely stress-free. They also provided excellent recommendations for places to visit, things to do, and great local restaurants, which really helped us make the most of our trip.We spent plenty of time enjoying the beaches and relaxing around town, and it was exactly the peaceful vacation we were hoping for. The apartment was comfortable, well-equipped, and a perfect base for exploring the area.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return. Highly recommended!

An amazing stay, location, and town! It was truly a wonderful experience being hosted by Enrico and Elena at Casa Cappuccini! The house and views are even better in person. We were close to everything but at the same time we found it private, We very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and allowing us to experience our time there.
