About this property

Villa Tanca with AC, Terrace and Sea Views

Summary:

A prestigious villa built in 1969 by Franco Tanca, in the heart of Monterosso al Mare, steps from the beach and the main square. A welcome package awaits, designed for our large villas: trofie pasta, pesto, a bottle of local wine and taggiasca olives, plus milk, orange juice and some seasonal fruit already in the fridge — the first evening's dinner is almost ready. 300 sqm over two floors, sleeps up to 12.



The Space:

Ground floor: a spacious living room with a 55" Smart TV, fully equipped kitchen (gas, oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, Nespresso), dining room with a large wooden table, breakfast table with a panoramic view, outdoor dining area with a stone oven and barbecue, and a small guest toilet (WC and sink only) between the dining area and the kitchen. First floor: 5 air-conditioned bedrooms (3 doubles, 1 twin, 1 triple with three singles), 3 elegant bathrooms with shower and bathtub (4 bathrooms in total across the villa), a large furnished sundeck terrace. Chef-at-Home service and Ligurian pasta and pesto classes available on request.



Guest Access:

Access on foot only, via the Scalinata dei Cappuccini (opposite Hotel Pasquale) or from the start of the pedestrian tunnel on the station side — the route is manageable and not especially demanding. Not suitable for guests with reduced mobility. Paid garage with 2 car spaces, 700 metres from the villa.



The Neighborhood:

In the heart of Monterosso al Mare, steps from the beach and the main square.



Getting Around:

Paid garage (2 spaces) about 700 metres from the villa. The train station and village centre are an easy walk away.



Other Things to Note:

Special rules: no parties over Christmas, New Year or other holiday periods without the owner's written authorisation; during the Christmas holidays, families only, no groups of young people. Small and medium-sized dogs welcome (non-dangerous breeds) for a €70 supplement, on a lead in communal areas, not on beds or sofas. Heating switched off from 1 April to 1 November.



We leave a few breakfast basics in the kitchen for your first morning (croissants, biscuits, jam, tea, coffee, portioned powdered milk, sugar); where a kitchen is available, also our award-winning extra virgin olive oil from a local producer whose mill and honey production can be visited on one of our experiences, plus salt and washing-up liquid, and washing machine/dishwasher pods where fitted. Bed and bath linen included, with shower gel, conditioner, body wash and hand soap. Professional cleaning.



Our concierge office in Vernazza is open 9:30am–7:00pm from 1 March to 31 October; outside this period the office is closed, with presence available on request. We're always happy to welcome guests staying in any of the other villages too, whether for a quick hello or for advice on local experiences and activities.



Licence code CITRA 011019-LT-0003 · National Identification Code IT011019C25L6GSWIM.



Interaction with Guests:

⚠ ASSISTED CHECK-IN ONLY — no self check-in available. Our team welcomes guests in person at the agreed time. Standard hours 3:00pm–7:00pm; late check-in 7:00pm–10:00pm carries an €80 supplement; no check-in possible after 10:00pm — past this hour car parks close, night trains are rare and often delayed or cancelled, and the villages fall quiet with no one around who could really help anyway: far better to plan a calm arrival the next day than face the stress of arriving this late.

Wow! Location was ideal! The view is incredible and everything is within easy walking distance - including the train station. Bianca was waiting for us when we arrived and walked us through every detail with a smile. Our group of 10 would love to return!

The views from Villa Tanca were absolutely stunning. Our host was very friendly and informative and available for questions that we had during our stay. Especially enjoyable was the outside patio, where we could sit and enjoy the view, play games, and have Aperitivo. Appreciated that they provided breakfast and some local treats. Liked the fact that it was gated. Would definitely stay at this home again.

Loved the house and the location! The stocked kitchen was such a treat and all of the extras that were offered like the porter service and cooking classes were amazing. We did struggle with lots mosquitos in the house and we didn't keep the doors or windows open. There were also some cobwebs and other bugs in the house. Overall the rest of the house was wonderful!

Thank you so much, Julie, for your lovely and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed the charm and location of Villa Tanca, as well as the stocked kitchen and the extra services like the porter and cooking classes. As the villa is surrounded by nature, it can sometimes happen that small insects or spiders find their way inside, but we always do our best to keep everything clean and comfortable for our guests. It was a real pleasure hosting you and your family, and we’d be very happy to welcome you back to Monterosso anytime! Warm regards, Alina Cinque Terre Riviera

Beautiful home with a spectacular view. Very spacious for our family of twelve. Filled with beautiful furnishings and personal touches. Great location, convenient to the train station, restaurants and the beach but also very private. Be prepared to climb the stairs. That’s the price you pay for the spectacular views.

Upon our arrival , we had the pleasant surprise of finding dinner and breakfast makings in the kitchen… tomatoes, lettuce, pasta, pesto, fruit, milk, eggs, bread, jams, coffee, and more! The kitchen was well stocked with cooking items, and tableware, tablecloths in the hallway. The living room was spacious with several seating areas. Several decks and wonderful views of the village (Old Town), and the beach and coastline. The villa was just a few minutes walk into town, yet very private. I had occasion to communicate directly with one of the owners, and learned that her father and grandfather had built the home and she grew up there. Knowing that increased our appreciation of our experience!

Family Trip to Italy

We had an amazing time at the Villa Tanca. We appreciated Alina meeting us at the base of the stairs and showing us around this beautiful villa. The villa was perfect for our family (4 couples) with spacious bedrooms and living areas and the beautiful patio overlooking the sea. The proximity to town and the Cinque Terre trails was perfect. There is so much to do right there. We really appreciated the wonderful welcome basket with plenty of fresh fruit, pasta, local specialties and the Prosecco! Highly recommend for a special time!

Amazing View!

Wonderful property above town with amazing views. very spacious for the 9 of us. A bit hard to get to with bags - many, many stairs - but worth the views at the end! With several people you need to plan your showers as the water pressure can't handle more than one shower at a time. It was great that the team leaves breakfast foods, milk, juice, pesto and pasta, and wine! Highly recommend this great place.

Great views

The views are as great as the photos indicate. Communication and check-in was smooth, but whether you arrive by car or train, there is a half mile walk to the property. That didn't bother us, but I didn't think that was as clear as it could have been on the listing. The house could use some updating for the price they are charging per night, but the views are truly wonderful. (Also, there is no television, which is normally not that big a deal. However, with the Euro soccer championships drawing everyone's attention, it would have been nice to be able to watch a game at the house.)

Amazing piece of heaven!

This rental was breathtaking! We traveled to Cinque Terre via train to Monterosso and the rental was located just a few minutes from there. The climb to the rental is no joke but absolutely worth it!! We felt like we were staying in a mansion/castle on the cliffs. You had sea views from the living room, multiple bedrooms, and the main balcony overlooking Monterosso Beach. I only wish we would have been able to stay longer! ❤️. We hiked a few of the trails that connect all 5 cities and took the train there too. Take their advice and get the train pass they message you about ahead of time. So many cute places to see and eat - the culture is amazing here! We didnt get to hike between every town but if you get a chance, be sure to hike between Corniglia to Vernazza. There is a little bar in the middle of nowhere out there that serves the most amazing watermelon slushes and the view is breathtaking from their patios! We hiked to Vernazza and the view of that city was my favorite as we came down the mountain. We can't wait to go back! The host was super nice, responsive and helpful. If you have big checked luggage, be sure to reserve the porter serice ahead of time to go up the hill. We had 7 adults traveling and the ammenities were plentiful!

The property is very close to the listed description. We had a large group and the house fit perfectly with our needs. In terms of location, you only need to walk down the stairs (there are a lot of stairs) to the beach. It’s centered in between the new and old areas of montorosso and very close to the train station. The house overall fit with what we were looking for. The bedrooms were nice and all had their own air conditioning. The kitchen has many dishes and utensils and all appliances worked nicely. The parts of the house and the outdoor space are not well maintained. The tile floors on the had many cracks with lots of ants. Several of the outlets were falling out of the walls. The Terrace was a bit dirty and all the chairs needed to be cleaned before use. The parking space is reserved but at an extra cost for which they asked us to pay in cash. The parking spot is a decent walk through montorosso before you even reach the stairs you need to climb to the house. They did ask us to clean the toilets and floors in the bathrooms at check out. We were also asked to wash all dishes too (which we would have ordinarily done anyway). Lastly, we were asked to take out the garbage and take the glass recycling down the stairs into town to recycle before we left. For the price and for a VRBO that should have a cleaning service between guests, these requests seemed like they were not cleaning between guests and felt inappropriate to be asking.

Dear Kristie, Thank you for your detailed feedback. We are pleased to know that the house, its location, and the amenities matched your expectations and that your group enjoyed the spacious bedrooms with air conditioning as well as the well-equipped kitchen. We are sorry for the inconveniences you mentioned. The house is surrounded by a garden and located inside a National Park: occasionally, especially in summer, ants may appear despite regular maintenance, but we will reinforce our prevention measures. Concerning the terrace, the floor is naturally rustic, not dirty, but we understand it may give a different impression, so we will better highlight this aspect in the description. Regarding the parking: the property has a reserved private spot in Monterosso, as indicated in the listing. We understand it may feel less convenient, but parking in the Cinque Terre is extremely limited. As for the check-out instructions, there may have been a misunderstanding: we do not ask guests to clean the bathrooms, but only to avoid leaving sand in the showers. Professional cleaning is always carried out between stays. We kindly ask guests only to leave the kitchen in order and to dispose of trash according to local recycling rules. We thank you once again for choosing us and for sharing both the positive aspects and the suggestions. We hope to welcome you back in the future for an even better stay. Best regards, Alexandra Cinque Terre Riviera

Fantastic location & house

Our extended family of 10 visited Villa Tanca and it couldn't have been a better location for home base to Cinque Terre. Astounding views, extensive places to gather outside, we even made a pizza in the pizza oven. The property's staff member Bianca gave us a great tour of all the amenities and was helpful when we had a random plumbing issue that popped up. This house is unique and a special place to stay. Get ready to work your legs walking up the stairs, but you'll appreciate it after dinner!
