L’Antica Terrazza is a guest house in the heart of Monterosso al Mare, in Liguria, just 200 metres from the beach in the historic centre and within the Cinque Terre National Park.
The property offers two types of air-conditioned rooms, both with city views: a double room with a private bathroom featuring a shower and bidet, and a single room with a balcony and outdoor furniture. All rooms are non-smoking, equipped with a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee-making facilities, a safe and provided linen, designed for those seeking a simple but comfortable stay in the centre of town.
The location is the strong point highlighted by guests themselves, who gave it a score of 9.9: restaurants such as Il Piccolo Diavolo and La Balena Blu are just steps away, Monterosso railway station is about 450 metres away, and the other Cinque Terre villages, from Vernazza to Levanto, are easily reached by train. An ideal address for those who want to experience the village on foot, among beaches, scenic trails and boat trips.
L’Antica Terrazza offers just two room types, both designed for those staying in the historic centre of Monterosso al Mare without giving up a bit of comfort. The rooms share some basic features: air conditioning, flat-screen TV, soundproofed walls, tea and coffee-making facilities and city views, a detail not to be taken for granted for such a central property.
The main differences lie in the size, capacity and presence of a private bathroom. The Double Room with Private Bathroom, at 13 sqm, is designed for two people and offers an en-suite bathroom with shower, bidet and toiletries. The Single Room with Balcony, smaller at 10 sqm, is instead reserved for a single guest and stands out for its balcony furnished with outdoor furniture, ideal for solo travellers who want their own outdoor space.
The larger of the two available room types, with 13 sqm and an en-suite private bathroom featuring a shower, bidet, hairdryer and toiletries. The soundproofed walls and flat-screen satellite TV make it suitable for those seeking a bit more peace and quiet in the heart of the village, with city views from the window.
Designed for solo travellers, this is the only room in the property with a balcony and outdoor furniture, as well as a desk useful for those travelling for work. More compact than the Double Room, at 10 sqm, it still retains the city view and a private bathroom reserved for the guest.
L’Antica Terrazza offers guests a sun terrace and furnished outdoor spaces, ideal for enjoying the Ligurian climate just steps from the sea. The property is entirely non-smoking and features air conditioning, heating and soundproofing in all rooms, as well as marble or tiled floors and fans.
Guests staying here can access sea-related activities directly, such as snorkelling, scuba diving and canoeing, as well as walking tours and hiking on the trails of the Cinque Terre National Park. A minimarket, daily housekeeping, a safe and personal key access are also available on site.
Each room is equipped with a flat-screen TV, internet connection, an electric kettle and views of the city or points of interest. The private bathrooms feature a shower, bidet, hairdryer and complimentary toiletries, for a practical stay in the historic centre.
L’Antica Terrazza is located in the heart of the historic centre of Monterosso al Mare, the westernmost village of the Cinque Terre, in an area of narrow alleys and colourful houses just steps from the sea. The property is surrounded by typical restaurants such as Gastronomia San Martino, just 10 metres away, and Il Piccolo Diavolo, 20 metres away, as well as the nearby La Balena Blu Wine & Food.
The beach in the historic centre is 100 metres away, while Fegina beach, with its distinctive giant carved into the rock, is about 250 metres away. Monterosso railway station, the starting point for reaching the other Cinque Terre villages, is 450 metres away, and from there Vernazza can be reached in just a few minutes by train. For those arriving by car or plane, Genoa-Sestri Airport is about 69 km away, while La Spezia Centrale station is 28 km away.
The area offers numerous activities, especially in the warmer months: snorkelling and diving along the protected coastline of the Cinque Terre National Park, canoeing in the village’s waters and hikes along the scenic trails connecting the five villages, including the famous Sentiero Azzurro (Blue Path). In winter the atmosphere becomes quieter, ideal for peaceful walks through the alleys and visits to local wineries, in an area also known for producing Sciacchetrà wine.
Guests especially praise the staff’s hospitality (9.7) and the highly central location (9.9), described as among the best in the area. Comfort and cleanliness are also highly appreciated, while the value for money, though solid, remains the most modest score among the categories rated.
