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.

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!

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 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.

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!

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!
