Affittacamere AlFrantoio is a guest house in Monterosso al Mare, in the heart of the Cinque Terre, just 400 metres from the Centro Storico Beach and a short walk from the Cinque Terre National Park.
The property offers two room types, both air-conditioned, with balcony and private terrace, designed for those seeking a simple yet comfortable stay in one of Liguria’s most loved destinations. Each room has a private bathroom with shower, flat-screen TV with satellite channels, refrigerator, electric kettle and desk, plus sheets and towels provided by the property.
WiFi is free throughout the property, and the outdoor areas, including an outdoor dining area and garden furniture, allow guests to enjoy Ligurian evenings outside. The location, 600 metres from Monterosso railway station, makes it easy to travel along the coast without a car, while the historic centre with its typical restaurants can be reached on foot in just a few minutes. A suitable address for couples and travellers who want to experience the Cinque Terre while staying close to the sea.

Affittacamere AlFrantoio offers two double/twin rooms, both 14 square metres and designed to accommodate up to two guests. In both room types, the bed can be configured as a large double bed or as two separate single beds, a convenient solution for couples as well as for those travelling with a friend or family member.
All rooms are air-conditioned, equipped with a private bathroom with shower, balcony and terrace, flat-screen TV with satellite channels, and a set of bed linen and towels. One of the two rooms stands out for its garden view, a detail that makes it particularly suitable for those who want to overlook a green corner of the property, while the other has the same features with a more secluded outlook. Each room is designed for a practical stay, in a Mediterranean style, just a few steps from the centre of Monterosso al Mare.
This 14 sqm room is air-conditioned and equipped with a balcony and terrace, ideal for a simple stay in Monterosso al Mare.

Unlike the other room in the property, this one has a more secluded outlook, with no direct view of the garden.
Identical in size and features to its twin room, this 14 sqm room stands out for the garden view enjoyed from the balcony and terrace. A private bathroom with shower, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV complete a room designed for those who want a small green view during their stay, with the same flexibility of a double bed or two single beds.

Affittacamere AlFrantoio is located in Balanello, a small hilltop hamlet on the edge of the historic centre of Monterosso al Mare, the westernmost village of the Cinque Terre. The area retains a peaceful atmosphere, amid terraced olive groves and vineyards, while still being just a few minutes’ walk from the sea and the lanes of the old village. The Cinque Terre National Park begins practically right outside the property, making the guest house a good base for those wanting to walk the scenic trails connecting the five villages.
For getting around, Monterosso railway station is about 600 metres away and connects within minutes to Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore along the Cinque Terre line. Centro Storico Beach is 400 metres away, while Fegina Beach can be reached in about 500 metres. Those arriving by car will find La Spezia Centrale station 31 km away and Genoa-Sestri Airport about 69 km away, just over an hour’s drive along the A12 motorway. Within a 200-metre radius there are also some local food spots, such as Focacceria il Frantoio and Prosciutteria delle 5 Terre.
The Cinque Terre offer a different experience depending on the season: in spring and autumn, the trail from Monterosso to Vernazza, about 2.7 km of scenic trekking, is the most popular activity, while in summer the beaches of Fegina and Centro Storico become the go-to spots for swimming and sunbathing. Boat trips to Vernazza and Levanto, the latter about 4 km away, offer a different perspective on the coast, and on cooler evenings the lanes of the historic centre come alive with wine bars and typical Ligurian restaurants.
