Il Timone Lerta is an adults-only guest house in the heart of Monterosso al Mare, in the Cinque Terre, just 200 metres from the historic centre’s beach. The property is suited to couples and travellers looking for a peaceful stay in a fishing village without giving up proximity to the sea and the trails of the Cinque Terre National Park, just 350 metres away.
The rooms, of various sizes, are all air-conditioned and feature a private bathroom, flat-screen TV with satellite channels, terrace or patio with city views, and soundproofing. There is also an electric kettle, fridge, safe and wardrobe, designed to make the stay practical even for longer periods.
Guests can start the day with a continental breakfast and enjoy the shared terraces, ideal for admiring the village from above.

Il Timone Lerta offers three room types, designed to suit different needs: from the more compact single room to larger double solutions with an extra-large bed. All rooms share some key features: air conditioning, private bathroom, flat-screen TV with satellite channels, soundproofing and a terrace or patio with city views, a distinctive feature of this guest house in the historic centre of Monterosso.
The main differences lie in size and capacity: from the 10 sqm single room to the more spacious 20 sqm double/twin room, with the standard double room at 15 sqm in between. Each room is furnished with a wardrobe, electric kettle, fridge and safe, details designed to ensure independence and comfort during the stay, in a quiet setting reserved for adults only.
The largest of the available rooms, with 20 sqm of space, offers more room than the other solutions in the property. Featuring an extra-large double bed, air conditioning, satellite TV, private bathroom and a terrace with city views, it is the ideal choice for those wanting extra space during their stay.
At 15 sqm, this double room sits between the other two room types in terms of size. The large double bed, air conditioning and terrace with city views make it a balanced solution for two people who don’t need a lot of space but still want their own panoramic corner.
The most compact room in the property, at 10 sqm, designed for a single guest. Despite its smaller size, it offers the same amenities as the larger rooms: air conditioning, satellite TV, private bathroom and a terrace with city views, making it a practical choice for solo travellers.
Il Timone Lerta is designed as an adults-only property, with particular attention to outdoor spaces: a sun terrace, patio and shared terrace offer several panoramic spots over the village of Monterosso al Mare. Daily housekeeping and private check-in and check-out ensure a discreet and personalised welcome, while luggage storage is useful for guests arriving or leaving outside check-in hours.
All areas are air-conditioned and soundproofed, with rooms and the entire property non-smoking. For safety, key access, fire extinguishers and an in-room safe are available. On the dining side, the property offers a tea and coffee kettle in the room and menus for special diets on request, along with continental breakfast in the morning. Free WiFi and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels complete the amenities, designed for a comfortable stay in the heart of the Cinque Terre.
