Lovely 19th century villa restored into a comfortable hotel nestled between the hills and the spectacular sea at Monterosso, the pearl of the Cinque Terre.
This Unesco World Heritage site boasts breathtaking views, once discovered and savoured by the likes of Byron and Shelley, Montale and Soldati. Monterosso al Mare is the western most village of the Cinque Terre and can be reached by the "Sentiero Azzurro" footpath.The village is sheltered by hills covered with vineyards and olive groves and is set amongst lush vegetation. The exquisite beaches, steep rugged cliffs and crystalline waters, make this one of the most charming resorts of the eastern Ligurian Riviera.The medieval tower 'Aurora', situated in the Cappuccini hills separates the old historic town from the more modern quarter whilst fine works of art such as the Crucifixion (attributed to Van Dyck) are preserved in the Church of St Francis. The village's delightful hotels are popular for their warm and friendly atmosphere while the variety of restaurants offer a chance to sample local Ligurian specialties served with Sciacchetrà, the famous Cinque Terre wine.This lovely villa is situated in an exclusive area overlooking the sea, separated only by a picturesque tree lined avenue.
