Borgo Antico Villa | A house like a boat – living the sea in the heart of Monterosso

2 Bedroom Villa with Fireplace, Laundry and Ocean View

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!

Summary: We had a lovely stay at this charming home in Monterosso al Mare. The location is incredible, with breathtaking ocean views and a peaceful atmosphere that captures the spirit of Cinque Terre. You can't beat the view from the patio! Just be prepared for the many steps it takes to reach the home - well worth it for the view, but something to consider if carrying heavy luggage.Cristina, the property manager, was amazing. Her communication was clear and prompt, and she met us at check-in to help us find the home and share helpful tips. The hosts also provided lots of great resources ahead of our stay.We had rainy weather during our visit, so we weren’t able to enjoy the beach. We used this stop to do laundry, but since the home only has a drying rack and no dryer, the damp/cool weather conditions made it so our clothes were unable to dry, and they unfortunately developed a mildew smell. This might not be an issue in warmer months but was a challenge for us.There were some ants in the living room and bedroom, but ant spray was provided and worked fine. Also, future guests should know that the shower (not currently shown in photos) is on the smaller side.Overall, the home is cozy, full of beachy charm, and well-maintained. We had some bad luck with weather, but the location, view, and warm hospitality made this a memorable stay.
