About this villa rental

Villa Tanca is a charming 5 bedroom private villa with stunning views in the old village of Monterosso. Its unique position on the beach of the village and on the main square makes this property the ideal solution for a comfortable and memorable stay in the Cinque Terre. Sheltered by the shade and quiet of the woods, this luxurious destination was built to accommodate those looking to spend quality time with loved ones. Furnishing is simple and a little dated, but the large spaces are an added value because they are very rare in the Cinque Terre. Bathrooms have been updated in 2022 with new bathtubs. AC has been added in each bedroom.



The Villa

Villa Tanca is a great architectural project from the late 60's - early 70's. A linear construction that develops on two floors.

The Villa is not accessible by car. Cars must be parked in one of Monterosso public car parking areas and the property can only be reached on foot from the promenade or from the old town via an uphill path that connects the old village to the cloister of the Capuchin Friars.

Villa Tanca will amaze you with its large amount of memories that the owners are happy to share with their guests.

Follow us to discover this splendid villa.

First floor

The staircase leading from the ground to the first floor shows us the history of the villa and the village. The old photos of Monterosso take us back to the past of this fishing village on the Italian Riviera.

At the end of the staircase there is a spacious area that introduces us to the night part of the villa.

On the left we find the double bedroom and a twin bedroom. Both rooms open onto the large terrace that opens onto the magnificent waters of the village of Monterosso.

Two bathrooms with bathtub serve these two bedrooms.

The terrace

The Villa Tanca terrace, paved with green tiles, is the place where the owners' family gathered every night before going to sleep. It is also equipped with sun loungers and becomes the perfect part of the villa for relaxing under the Cinque Terre sun. The terrace is equipped with an awning, in order to keep the temperature cool throughout the property.



A stone's throw from the sea, Villa Tanca will guarantee you quick access to the beach. Have you ever imagined sleeping asleep to the sound of the waves slowly rolling over the sandy shores and enjoying the sunset over the gulf from your private terrace while sipping some local wine? This is the place for you. Private events such as celebrations, dinners and tastings can be organized on request



Franco Tanca, true son of Monterosso, always dreamed of being able to see the Cinque Terre from his bedroom window. In 1969, his dream came true. This is the reason why he built this villa right on the main square and on the beach of Monterosso. It is also the reason why the house's linear architecture is interrupted at one's bedroom. That room had to face the sea, so that every morning he could wake up to admire the friendly waters of the Mediterranean from his bed.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!
