About this property
A house like a boat – living the sea in the heart of Monterosso
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). - For safety reasons, we don't accommodate children under 12 years. - Additional guests beyond the first two incur a daily fee (see “Booking Summary” for details).
SAFETY REMINDER - Be mindful of pickpockets in crowded areas during summer. A little care ensures a peaceful holiday.
