Borgo Antico Villa | A house like a boat: truly belonging to the sea, yet in the heart of Monterosso

2 Bedroom Villa in Borgo Antico, Monterosso al Mare

Submerge yourself in the awe of the sea within our cherished coastal retreat, elegantly designed to coexist with its natural surroundings. As Frank Lloyd Wright aptly put it, "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 coastal refuge, affectionately frequented by our family and friends, opened its doors to Vrbo and Homeway guests in 2015. We've ensured our personal belongings and carefully selected furnishings create a homely ambiance, making you feel like a homeowner rather than a transient occupant. We hope you will value your time here as much as we do.
Don‘t just take our word for it.
As one of our esteemed guests once remarked, "From the moment you arrive in Monterosso, you know you‘ve made the best choice by staying at this vacation home."
Perched on a rock at the heart of Monterosso's bay, our detached house is a mere five meters from the sea. A comprehensive renovation in 2012 ensured modern comforts such as air conditioning, heating, and a stable Wi-Fi connection. In 2023, we further augmented the comfort of our home by installing new windows and doors, offering improved thermal and acoustic insulation.
Our home features a spacious living room and a cozy double room, both opening onto a sea-facing terrace. This outdoor space is furnished with a dining table, chairs, an outdoor shower, and a private staircase leading directly to the sea. Please be advised that due to its elevation, the terrace may not be suitable for children due to the risk of falling.
Additional amenities include a second bedroom with a sizable bunk bed, two bathrooms (one equipped with a shower), and a fully-appointed kitchen for culinary enthusiasts. Each room provides ample closet space, a desk, and two chairs.
Access to the house is via a ramp staircase that leads to a functional courtyard with laundry facilities. Our coastal sanctuary encapsulates a unique blend of minimal material comforts and maximum spiritual stimulation, echoing a sailor's affinity for the sea. The advantages of our location are evident: location, location, location!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- The house is only accessible via stairs and may not be suitable for individuals with mobility issues or wheelchair users.
- Our home is approximately 550 meters away from the railway station. A public cab service is available.

Summary: The 'boat' reference might be confused with 'compact' or 'narrow and small' but really it relates to the feeling that you are on the water when you stay here. Do not hesitate; book this house because it is in the BEST location and the elevated position with the water immediately below is wonderful. The house is really lovely and it provides a generous space to relax, unwind and enjoy the magnificent view. In the warmer months, swimming and sunbathing is just a few steps away. Short walk to everywhere. Quite remarkable really!

Summary: We had an excellent time at this unique property. The views and location were amazing. It was a short walk to the old town part of Monterosso for groceries, restaurants, or shopping. Also, I would highly recommend the hike to Vernazza, but don’t forget to bring the hiking poles that the property provided.

Joe R. Oct 16, 2024 07:17:54 PM

Summary: Exactly as pictured. Wonderful host and wonderful stay.

Susan T. Oct 13, 2024 06:09:14 PM

Summary: We loved our stay in this splendid cliffside villa on the Mediterranean in cinque Terre. Everything one needed and more! Cool ocean breezes with the sound of waves to lull you to sleep. Just doesn't get any better. Located in the old town of Monterosso with less tourists and better restaurants.

Karen W. Oct 7, 2024 05:23:56 PM

Summary: We totally enjoyed our stay at this unique and inviting flat above the water. It was a welcoming home, perfect after a long hike or a day at the beach. It's a little tricky for those with mobility issues because of stairs, but otherwise I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Summary: Salita ai Cappuccini, we love you. What glorious 4 days. Our maiden voyage in the house like boat, we truly could not believe we were staying here. The house and details of this house are beautiful, so close to Old Town, the beach, the ferry, hiking, train. We loved that we could get "Take Away" dinner and eat on our deck or have cocktails as we watch the activity below. This visit was what we needed after traveling around Europe. This was our maiden voyage, but hopefully will not be our last. Thank you, Enrico and Elena, for creating a beautiful home that you allow us to rent.:)

Summary: The property was amazing just as shown on the vrbo add. Would stay there for a month if we could.

Yvonne R. Sep 12, 2024 07:58:17 PM

Summary: We loved it. Great location overlooking the beach and part of town. We were greeted by Christina and she was very attentive. It was a nice surprise, we were not expecting to be greeted. She is so nice 😀 The apartment had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.
