Piccolo Principe Affittacamere

Piccolo Principe Affittacamere is an extra-hotel property in the heart of Monterosso al Mare, in Liguria, just 100 metres from the beach in the historic centre and in the busiest stretch of the village, within the Cinque Terre National Park.

The property has two room types, both with private bathroom, air conditioning, soundproofing and city views, designed for those seeking a quiet yet central stay. Each room features a minibar, coffee machine and flat-screen TV, with particular attention to guests with allergies thanks to the allergy-friendly solutions adopted throughout the building.

The location is among the most appreciated strengths: restaurants such as Il Moretto and Da Ely are just steps away, while Monterosso railway station is 450 metres away, convenient for reaching Vernazza and the other villages of the Cinque Terre. It is not a guest house suited to families with children or parties, but it is ideal for couples and travellers seeking a charming stay in one of Liguria’s most photographed destinations.

Plan your stay at Piccolo Principe Affittacamere

A refined guest house in the historic centre of Monterosso al Mare, just steps from the sea and the Cinque Terre trails, with air-conditioned rooms and city views.

Room types

Piccolo Principe Affittacamere offers two types of double rooms, both characterised by a good level of privacy, independent entrance and soundproofing, designed for those seeking privacy in the heart of Monterosso al Mare. Both options offer air conditioning, private bathroom, minibar, coffee machine, flat-screen TV and city views, along with a generously sized double bed.

The main difference between the two types concerns the size and the bathroom fittings: the King Room with Hydromassage Bathtub, at 15 sqm, is designed for those wanting a relaxing moment with a private hydromassage bathtub, while the King Superior Room, slightly larger at 17 sqm, has a bathroom with bidet and walk-in shower. Both rooms are equipped with a washing machine, a rare feature for a guest house of this type, and are ideal for romantic or relaxing stays in a central, well-connected setting.

Location & what to see

Piccolo Principe Affittacamere is located in the heart of the historic centre of Monterosso al Mare, the westernmost village of the Cinque Terre, in a pedestrian area among characteristic alleys, just 100 metres from the beach in the centre and 300 metres from the entrance to the Cinque Terre National Park. It is the kind of location that lets you leave the car behind and experience the village entirely on foot.

Monterosso railway station is about 450 metres away, an ideal starting point for reaching Vernazza in just a few minutes by train or for walking the famous panoramic trail connecting the villages of the Cinque Terre. The nearest airport, Genoa-Sestri, is about 69 km away, while La Spezia Centrale station, the main hub for regional connections, is about 30 km away. Nearby, just steps from the entrance, are several traditional restaurants such as Il Moretto, Da Ely and Ristorante la Cambusa.

In summer, Monterosso is the ideal destination for those seeking sea and panoramic trekking, with the beaches of Fegina and the historic centre just steps away and the crystal-clear waters of the Cinque Terre to explore, even by boat or kayak. In cooler months, the village is well suited to quiet walks through the carruggi (narrow alleys), visits to local wineries to taste Sciacchetrà, and trips to Vernazza, about 2.5 km away, or Levanto, reachable in a few minutes by train.

Historic Centre Beach — the village's main beach, right in front of the property 100 m
Il Moretto — traditional Ligurian restaurant just steps from the entrance 20 m
Cinque Terre National Park — starting point for the panoramic trails between the villages 300 m
Monterosso Station — fast rail connections to Vernazza and La Spezia 450 m
