Villa Montale Apartment I Limoni

Villa Montale Historical Mansion is a prestigious mansion, pure Art deco' style, built up in the late 1880's. This Monterosso holiday villa represents a historical landmark, since it belonged to the Nobel price for literature (1975) Eugenio Montale, who, in this amazing property lived and composed some of his marvellous poems.

Cinque Terre Riviera rents in this villa just an exclusive, the luxury, large and elegant apartment on the first floor.

The building is positioned on top of a small hill in the western part of Monterosso, Fegina, just a few steps from its famous village beaches. Visiting the house it is evident that quietness and beauty that inspired the poet are still here: from its windows the relaxing view of the sea is definitely part of the fascinating atmosphere of Villa Montale and the big park of palms and pine trees, embracing the property, is a real treasure of silence and beauty offering shade to the mansion  and keeping it fresh even in the hottest months.
The whole villa is now divided into three apartments (one each floor) belonging to three different private owners.
The apartment "I Limoni", available for rental, is located on second floor.

The Apartment
On entering from the main door we find a spacious entrance hall from where we reach the majestic sitting and dining room that will reveal incredible fresco's paintings, a peculiarity of all the bedrooms of the apartment. In this room two big windows, one leading to a small balcony. Both of them open on the amazing panorama of the sea and the luxuriant park of the villa, with its tall, century old palm trees.
The floor is made following the Ligurian technique of  "graniglia",  or "Tappeto Genovese" (Genoese Carpet), a classic and elegant decoration typical of the high class Genoese families mansions during the 1800 and early 1900.
Two comfortable sofas and a large table for up to 10 seats are perfect for having a delicious dinner or just for enjoying the quietness of the place.
This large dining and sitting room is the real heart of the house and from it we have access to the rest of the apartment, including five bedrooms (four double and one twin), three luxury bathrooms with showers, renovated in 2018,  and a kitchen.

There's no air conditioning at this villa, but definitely there's no need for it, being the villa in shaded and ventilated area, cool even in the hot season.

Wifi available.
Private car parking for one car at extra charge.
