Room types

Villa Cristina offers three types of Double Room, all with a similar layout but slightly different sizes, designed for couples travelling together.

The view opens onto the garden or courtyard, while a private patio or terrace provides an outdoor space to enjoy the Ligurian climate.

The main differences relate to the floor area, which ranges from 18 to 20 square metres, and some bathroom details, with a bathtub or shower depending on the room. The Economy type, smaller in size, is aimed at those looking for a simpler solution without giving up essential comforts, while the other two offer a few extra metres for those wanting more space during their stay in Monterosso al Mare.

Location & what to see

Villa Cristina is located in the upper area of Monterosso al Mare, the westernmost and largest of the Cinque Terre villages, just steps from the Fegina seafront and the famous Statue of the Giant. The area is residential and quiet, yet very close to the town’s tourist heart, with alleys, shops and restaurants easily reachable on foot.

Fegina Beach is just 250 metres away, while Monterosso railway station, the starting point for reaching the other Cinque Terre villages in a few minutes by train, is 350 metres away. The Cinque Terre National Park, with its scenic trails, is just 850 metres away. For those arriving by car, Genoa-Sestri Airport is about 68 km away, while La Spezia Centrale station is 30 km away.

In summer, the area thrives on beach life and the atmosphere of a seaside village, with the hike to Vernazza (about 3.3 km away) among the most popular excursions along the coast. In winter, calm prevails and Monterosso is ideal for crowd-free walks along the Blue Trail. For dinner, Resta Roberto and Il Brigantino di Contardi are among the closest restaurants, around 150-200 metres away, ideal for trying typical Ligurian fish dishes and trofie al pesto.
