SoleMare is a guest house located in the historic centre of Monterosso al Mare, 200 metres from the Old Town Beach, in the heart of the Cinque Terre.
The property, entirely non-smoking, offers two room types designed mainly for couples, both equipped with air conditioning, private bathroom, flat-screen TV and linens provided: a room with a balcony overlooking the traditional Ligurian caruggi and a cosier room with access to shared outdoor spaces. Rounding out the offer are an in-room safe and a concierge service to help plan the day between trails and beaches.
Thanks to its position in the old village, SoleMare is steps away from typical restaurants, Monterosso railway station and the entrance to the Cinque Terre National Park. Express check-in and check-out and luggage storage make the property practical for those walking the Sentiero Azzurro or organising excursions between nearby villages. Couples particularly appreciate the location, rated 9.2 for a two-person stay, and the quality of the welcome offered by the staff.

SoleMare offers two room types, both designed for stays as a couple and featuring light furnishings, cooling tiled floors and air conditioning. Each room has a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, safe, bed linen and beach towels available, plus free WiFi throughout the property.
The Double Room with Balcony, at 17 square metres, stands out for its furnished balcony with a view over the village’s characteristic caruggi, ideal for those seeking a more scenic outlook over the historic centre. The Double Room, slightly more compact at 15 square metres, retains the same essential features but without a private balcony, making it a simpler yet equally comfortable choice for a short stay in the Cinque Terre.
The larger of the two available room types, this 17 sqm room stands out for its furnished balcony with a view over the characteristic caruggi of Monterosso’s old village. Air conditioning, light furnishings and tiled floors keep the room cool even on the hottest days, while the private bathroom completes a solution designed to enjoy an authentic outlook over the historic centre.
Cosier than the Room with Balcony, this 15 sqm option focuses on practicality: air conditioning, light furnishings and tiled flooring for a cool stay even in summer. It does not have a private balcony, but it remains a functional choice for those looking for the essentials just steps from the sea, with a private bathroom and beach towels already provided.
SoleMare provides guests with air conditioning in all rooms, free WiFi and a safe, as well as a concierge service useful for organising excursions and itineraries between the Cinque Terre villages. Express check-in and check-out and luggage storage simplify travel for those walking the Sentiero Azzurro or moving between regional trains.
The property is entirely non-smoking and offers independent key access, heating and marble or tiled floors throughout the common areas. Outside, a sundeck terrace, a picnic area and outdoor furniture are available, as well as sun umbrellas for those who want to enjoy the sun without heading down to the beach.
For those who love the sea, the proximity to the coast allows for snorkelling, scuba diving, canoeing and fishing, while hiking enthusiasts will find the trails of the Cinque Terre one of the area’s main strengths.
SoleMare is located in the heart of the historic centre of Monterosso al Mare, the northernmost village of the Cinque Terre, among characteristic alleyways and colourful houses that slope down towards the sea. The area retains the authentic atmosphere of the Ligurian caruggi, with shops, delicatessens and small restaurants just steps from the property’s entrance.
The Old Town Beach is just 150 metres away, while Fegina Beach can be reached in about 250 metres. Monterosso railway station, a useful hub for reaching the other Cinque Terre villages, is 450 metres away, and from here Vernazza is connected in just a few minutes by train or with a 2.6 km walk along the coast. Genoa-Sestri Airport, the closest, is about 69 km away.
Guests staying at SoleMare have direct access to the entrance of the Cinque Terre National Park, just 250 metres away, the starting point for excursions along the famous Sentiero Azzurro connecting the five villages. In summer the area is ideal for snorkelling, diving and swimming among the rocky coves, while in spring and autumn hiking among the terraced vineyards offers sea views without the intense heat of the summer season. In the evening, among the village’s streets, there is always the chance to stop at one of the many local delicatessens or wine bars, such as those found near Vernazza as well.
Guests particularly praise the staff’s hospitality, rated 9.7, and the comfort of the rooms, 9.4. The central location is also highly appreciated, at 9.3, while the value for money, though solid at 8.7, is the relatively lowest-scoring category.
