Monterosso al Mare Hotel Accommodation

Exploring Monterosso al Mare

Lick up drops of your melting ice cream while lying on the soft sands of Monterosso al Mare's beach - where you can watch tiny fishing boats catching the plump anchovies that you'll later dine on. The first thing that will strike you about Monterosso al Mare is its colors – beautiful, blue-green ocean stretches out from the shore, while a gorgeous kaleidoscope of painted houses glows above the Old Town's beach. The unspoiled Cinque Terre coastline is a hiker's paradise, with winding footpaths leading deep into the mountains, and connecting the small villages that dot the coast. Feel your heart rate rise with equal parts amazement and fear while navigating rickety wooden walkways, perched precariously – but safely - on spectacular cliff edges.

Sightseeing in Monterosso al Mare

- Monterosso Beach

Emerge from the darkness of Monterosso al Mare's tunnel, which connects the old and new towns, into the dazzling sunlight bouncing off the sands of Monterosso Beach. The occasional picturesque wooden fishing boat is the only litter to be found on what is one of the few stretches of sandy beach in this part of Italy.

- Sanctuary of Nostra Signora di Soviore

This sanctuary arts dates back to the early 14th century, the mid 18th century (when the interior was split into three naves) and to the early 19th century (when the vault was added). Other parts were either restored or added during the 20th century.

Transportation in Monterosso al Mare

The Cinque Terre's towns are largely cut off from modern life - so road travel is close to impossible. The best plan is to arrive by train, hopping on a local service from either La Spezia or Genoa. Train services from Northern Italy's major destinations, like Florence, Milan, and Turin, all offer connections to these cities for those traveling from further afield. The hotels are used to visitors arriving by train, so will often pick you up from the station free of charge.
