Giaella Sea View Apartment

Great location! Cute little apartment in the heart of Monterosso!

Location, clean and comfy

Very nice apartment and conveniently located steps away from the beach in Monterosso. the amenities were as per listing and self check was good, infact it was an amazing experience.

The location was fantastic with uninterrupted views of the beach, it backed onto the train station (from the 3rd bedroom you can see the train platform out the window) - do not let that put you off. You cannot hear the trains or platform noise with the windows closed, saves walking those extra kms to get to the station when a lot of travel around Cinque Terre is done by train. As you would expect - the beach is alive in summer with restaurants and bars on your door step and having a quick swim in the ocean couldn't be any easier. Don't make the mistake we made - contact Bianca the host and give her your email address rather than messaging through Booking.com, She gave us simple instructions on where to meet her to get into the apartment which we overlooked and walked unnecessarily a km or two before we realised our mistake. We rang Bianca, she told us to wait where we were and very kindly walked to us and escorted us back to the apartment. She gave us some great tips on places to see and things to do in Montersosso and Vernazza. Do yourself a favour and make your bookings for dinner now for Torre Aurora Restaurant in Monterosso and La Torre Restaurant in Vernazza - two very popular restaurants and the food and service we received was amazing (as were the views) The apartment is literally at the front of the train station - accessible by lift and stairs that are well disguised unless you know where they are. The apartment has two big bedrooms with fantastic beach views and really good aircon, the 3rd bedroom has no beach views or aircon and a fold out bed which isn't the most comfortable - it has a fan which struggles to keep the room cool. The kitchen has opening windows and door but no balcony but you can easily spend time watching the sunsets and beach activity from the comfort of the kitchen

The 3rd bedroom - foldout bed which was a bit uncomfortable and it had no aircon
