Not a big deal, but the outdoor balcony area is shared with other guests. So just bare in mind you wont have that area to yourself if other guests are staying

Lovely location with a nice view and easy walk to Monterosso

The room was on the smaller side but adequate . The steep driveway and stairs to access the unit were not wonderful but this is a really hilly area so it is not unexpected .

Location was superb and it was easy to find and park thanks to very good instructions .

Cristina is a absolutely fantastic owner. House location was very good, free parking is a great option in Monterosso. As well as a gift Cristina presented her lemons. Great vacation in a great location. Thank you very much!

Beautiful clean and not too far away from the main strip. Excellent communication and a special thanks to Erika who was super helpful and very sweet and friendly. Very quiet location. Great air-conditioning as well.

The bed is a little on the firm side. Nothing out of the ordinary but my husband wasn’t the biggest fan of that. Otherwise this is the perfect little spot in Cinque Terre!

We loved that this location was within walking distance of the main areas of Monterosso but far enough away that it was quiet and relaxing at night. The shower and bathroom facilities were excellent and well maintained. The shared terrace was a wonderful place to relax after a busy day! The host is very communicative and they have a very efficient check in/check out system. Monterosso is an excellent town to stay in in Cinque Terre. It has both the “old town” and “new town” areas, so even though many people come to visit Monterosso, it didn’t feel overly crowded compared to some of the other CT towns.

Room was ok, clean, location great but I booked according to description and was disappointed for the price. Did offer parking but confusion on which spot to take. However, host did send a picture.

Did not have breakfast

Really nothing.

Fantastic place! Very clean, comfortable and excellent staff. The view of the ocean from the shared deck was a plus! The walk from the beach to the home was great but steep-less than 10”. We would highly recommend this accommodation.

The hill walking up to the Villa was rough, lots of traffic so it was unsafe at times walking into town.

Great location. Hostess was very attentive and responsive. Very clean and would definitely stay there again

The mattress was a bit hard but other than that enjoyed the stay

Good location, only 10 mins walk from the station, this is, however, uphill, so if you have lots of luggage it’s probably best to get a cab. Easy self check in, room was nice with ensuite.

If you google Villa Cristina, it comes up as a 4 star hotel. While it's perfect, it's not a 4-star hotel. It's 3 bedrooms on the top floor of the owners home. But, it's the perfect base from which to explore Cinque Terre, so don't let that put you off booking it..

Great location with precious car park and very comfortable bed. Communication from Cristina was great from booking to checking in. The room is simple, but very clean. There's 2 decks with chairs and tables too - one over looking the garden and the other with sea views. It's perfect for exploring Cinque Terre, being just a short walk from the main street, beach, restaurants and train station at Monterosso, but with peace and quiet at night, and it's got air-conditioning to keep you cool while you sleep. The bathroom was compact, but perfect for a couple. The shower pressure was excellent.

Internet didn’t work for days, which was very annoying as we needed to plan more of our Italy trip and had to buy lots of additional mobile data to do so (60€ in data). For such a high room rate we expected more.. could use some kitchen facilities and utensils as there’s a shared space and nice balcony to sit on.

Comfy bed and clean room. It’s a good location and not a far walk to Monterosso train station.

The walk up the hill isn’t bad, only 10 min and not steep, but probably wouldn’t recommend for travelers who might have a difficult time. We ended up doing the walk a couple times a day.

This property was perfect for staying with two couples, we each had our own rooms but could use the beautiful balcony at night. Everything was clean and hosts were very kind and responsive.

The location was perfect, and Cristina was amazingly helpful with everything 💯

It was lovely and very clean. It was also very handy and easy to get to everything in the town. There were two balconies, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Staff were exceptionally quick to respond to any questions we had. It was also very secure.

we got so many mosquitoes one night because we left the windows open. the next night we kept it closed and used the AC instead, that solved the problem.

checkin went very smoothly it was easy to find and the room was spacious. the terrace and balcony were also nice, it had a sea view, perfect for drinking coffee (which they provide for free) before exploring the town!
