Around Monterosso al Mare

Monterosso al Mare is an incredible town.  We never tire of exploring its treasures and come back year after year to enjoy old favorites and find new pleasures and treats.  We also really enjoy sharing with all our friends the character, charm, and appeal of this great town.  We love it and we keep coming back.

There is always something interesting going on in Monterosso.  As we walk down to Piazza Giuseppe Garibaldi one day, there is an art fair on one side of the square and a benefit lunch for the local ambulance service across the way, under the train tracks.

And, of course, Hotel Villa Steno, where Matteo and Carla work incredibly hard to make sure that everyone has a tremendous experience in Cinque Terre.  We have to mention their amazing breakfast assortment, including wonderful homemade treats made from old family recipes to give a proper start to each day.  This is the place to stay in Monterosso al Mare/Cinque Terre!

 As we leave for our early train, we catch a few glimpses of the city as it is just waking up.
