Sol y Mar apartment - Monterosso al mare - CITRA code 011019-LT-0123

The house is located in the center of the ancient village of Monterosso, accessed via an external staircase of about 50 steps from Via Buranco and is located 100 meters from the beach and 10 minutes walk from the station. The area is quiet and ideal for a relaxing stay. In the immediate vicinity is the supermarket, bars, restaurants etc. The nearest beaches are both free and paid. A few meters from the apartment are the accesses for the paths of the 5 Terre and for boarding the ferries. The ancient part of Monterosso al Mare is characterized by several places where you can taste a glass of wine or eat a plate of pasta with pesto or fresh fish. The 5 Terre is the ideal place for those who want to relax by taking a swim at the beach or sunbathing on the beach as well as for those who want to take a walk through the vineyards or along the sea passing from one village to another. My advice is also to take a boat ride to admire the 5 Terre from the sea.

This property was right in the centre of Monterosso. Great location and close to shops, food markets, bars and restaurants. Trains were close by as well. Our host Yrasema was wonderful. She provided very detailed instructions on how to get to the parking lot and even sent photos to show the way to the apartment which was a great help. She reached out daily and provided suggestions for restaurants and activities. I would recommend this lodging to anyone interested in staying in Monterosso.

Perfect apartment in the old town of Monterosso. Everything about this location was perfect and it’s in the heart of the old town. Great location to the beach and many food options. Plus owner was very accommodating and provided recommendations for food and the best bakery in the city. If we go back we will definitely stay here, plus the AC was a plus. Thank you Yrasema for being a great host!

Fabulous family flat in a perfect location
The location was primo for location - only steps to restaurants, gelato and a free beach with so much more a short walk away. Generously provided beach gear and everything we needed for our favorite meal of fresh local pasta and pesto from the market at the foot of our steps. The hostess graciously also shared helpful recommendations and responded to our questions faster and more compety than any i have stayed with.

A beautiful apartment in a great location!
The host, Yrasema, was very friendly and kind. She sent us lots of helpful information during our stay and responded quickly to questions. Don’t worry about the stairs up to the property. They were easy if you are moderately fit. The apartment was comfortable and very clean. She also left useful things like beach shoes, beach umbrellas, towels, and toys. As well as umbrellas for rain. The kitchen is well stocked. The apartment is steps away from the best shops and restaurants. There is also quick and easy access to the train station and the ferry boat dock.

A homely apartment in the heart of old Monterosso. From the warm greeting to the very helpful departure when I left my backpack locked inside Yrasema was very accommodating. Everything was in walking distance. The stair were not a problem for myself and my friend but could be for some. Comfortable beds. A great home away from home.

A little slice of heaven
The property was just as it was presented on VRBO. It was clean and stocked with anything you could need, whether you are headed to the beautiful beach or staying in for a home cooked meal. We loved sharing a bottle of wine in the evening on the little balcony and in the morning while having cappuccino. A special thank you to Yresema’s husband for helping us up the steps with our luggage. Grazie!!! Lynn and Rick from Ohio

It was everything as stated. Great location, clean. Host was excellent, met us at the apartment, recommended restaurants to eat. On departure it was raining and she offered to lend us umbrellas to use for our walk to the train station and meet us to pick them up. Would recommend staying there-even with the 50 steps. Thank you.

Though we rented this 2 bedroom unit, when we arrived there were sheets only on the bed in the larger bedroom. When we contacted the owner, we were informed that since there were only two of us, we were expected to share the one bed and if we wanted sheets for the second bedroom, we needed to pay an additional 20 euro. When the owner was advised that we would not pay, and we would write a critical review if she insisted on the additional payment, she accused us of blackmail. Frankly, in our view, her demand for additional payment for sheets for the second bedroom was more accurately described as extortion. She grudgingly provided sheets the following day, which we had to put on the bed. The only other notable issue with the property is the 50 stairs from the street to the unit. In fairness, we were advised by the owner well in advance of these stairs. However, after 26 hours of travel, (3 planes and 3 trains), these narrow, outdoor, winding, stone steps were backbreaking.

In the Heart of Monterosso al Mare
Our favorite restaurant in Cinque Terre, L'Osteria, is a short block away. Wish we had more time to eat there more than just once this trip. We knew about the 50 steps when booking so that didn't bother us. Be careful that some steps are higher than others. Beautiful Cinque Terre (CT) village neighborhood. Short walk to the train to access the other CT villages. Nice stone beach with food and excellent drinks and umbrellas a short walk away. Lots of good restaurants and bars in the neighborhood. The main bedroom had AC and the second bedroom got the AC from the kitchen and there are windows at the top of the walls. The place is small so that worked. The kitchen had the needed appliances but we didn't use them with all the great restaurants close by. The water pressure was good and plenty of hot water in the shower. The shower stall was a little small and you had to be quick so as not to wet the bathroom floor when turning on the water. Close the windows so as not to let the bugs in. I only wish they had blackout curtains so it's not so bright in the main bedroom. I didn't think to see if they had shutters to make it darker in the room. Easy check-in and check-out. Yrasema was awesome. She let us leave our bags so we could enjoy the morning of our check-out before our train departed.

Yrasema was an amazing host. The apartment is located within a minute walk to the center of old Monterosso where all the amazing restaurants are. The closets beach area is also just a 5 minute walk. We definitely got our steps in traveling up to the apartment. It's also equipped with AC, which was a huge plus in the summer. Yrasema provided us with plenty of recommendations for restaurants, gelato and excursions. Our stay in Monterosso was an amazing experience and we're so glad we stayed in Yrasema's apartment. Gracias Yrasema!
