Unico is a guest house in the heart of Monterosso al Mare, in Liguria, just 200 metres from the Historic Centre Beach and a short walk from the Cinque Terre National Park. The entirely non-smoking property occupies one of the most sought-after positions in the village, having earned a score of 9.7 for location from guests.

Bed linen and towels are always included in the stay.
The proximity to Monterosso railway station, just 500 metres away, makes Unico a practical base for those wanting to travel along the coast and visit nearby villages, from Vernazza to Levanto, moving mainly on foot or by train.

The two types of Double Room available at Unico share the same layout: 20 square metres, one large double bed and an independent entrance that guarantees guests privacy and freedom of schedule. In both rooms, the air conditioning, soundproofed walls and minibar make the stay comfortable even during the hottest months of the Ligurian summer, when Monterosso fills with tourists in search of sea and trails.
Each room has a private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer, plus toiletries and a coffee machine for a self-service breakfast. The flat-screen TV with cable channels and the city view complete an offering designed above all for couples, with bed linen and towels always provided. The two rooms, practically identical in their amenities, differ only in their position within the property.
