Villa Montale Historical Apartment I Limoni

Summary:

The I Limoni flat sits inside historic Villa Montale, an elegant 19th-century residence on a panoramic hillside in Fegina, Monterosso al Mare — the villa was once home to poet Eugenio Montale, winner of the 1975 Nobel Prize in Literature. Interiors with original frescoes, Genoese mosaic floors and refined furnishings evoking 19th-century noble style. 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. 150 sqm, first floor, sleeps up to 11.

5 bedrooms: 4 doubles (some with sea views, others over the garden) and 1 room with 2 single beds plus a single pouf bed. 3 modern bathrooms with showers. Fully equipped kitchen (gas hob, dishwasher, microwave, Nespresso, toaster, washing machine). Air conditioning in every bedroom and the living room. Garden shared with the villa's other apartments, with a dedicated area for the I Limoni flat with a table and chairs. Chef-at-Home service and Ligurian pasta and pesto classes available on request.

Other Things to Note:

Special rules: no parties over Christmas, New Year or other periods; during the Christmas holidays, families only, no groups of young people. Small dogs only, 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.

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–8:00pm carries a €50 supplement, 8:00pm–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.
