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.
