They have modern and traditional items - wine cooler, rolling pins, cheese boards, storage jars. I would have bought more if not for the weight. I will have to go back :)

If you're looking to buy a home in one of the most beautiful regions in Tuscany, look no further!…read more Making the decision to buy a home abroad (especially when you don't speak the language) can be daunting. Michael, Gianni and Mara took excellent care of me and have been exceptionally attentive to my needs. They are among the most efficient and responsive team I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. I had met with several brokers all over Tuscany, none of which seemed to really understand my needs. With their help, I not only found the perfect home, but within 1 day, was able to get an Italian phone line, open an Italian bank account/apply for a mortgage and put in an offer which was accepted within hours. They've held my hand and patiently walked me through every part of the process. My official housewarming is next month and I will definitely be inviting my new friends Lunigiana2000! They are like family, you'll be in great hands with these wonderful people!!!

Located right on Rio Roma, the Main Street leading into and out of town to get to the train and…read morebeach, this hotel was convenient and easy to get to. It literally takes us a 5-10min walk to get down to the bottom beach area and a few seconds to get to shops in town. Andrea, the owner/host, was fantastic! He was nice and greeted us daily as we left and came back. He gave us useful hints on where to eat, places to see, and options to exploring all the towns of cinque terre. The maid was sweet and super nice as well - she's been working here for 15+ years. That's some local service for you. It's also conveniently located next to a market and laundromat! The rooms were on the smaller side but the beds comfortable and there's some crazy black out shutters making it easy to catch up on zzzz's! The wifi worked well and even though the bathroom was super tiny, the water pressure was strong and fantastic. Just requires a bit of maneuvering to put stuff in there cause there is zero counter space. There is a tiny fridge, a closet, and hair dryer, etc. Great place, great location. AC doesn't work though so it was a bit muggy and hot and we didn't want to open the windows cause the mosquitoes are so bad!

We stayed for two nights in this little hotel, and we very pleased with our stay. Located only a…read moreshort walk from the Monterosso train station on the main street, Via Roma, we found the accommodation basic, but impeccably clean. What really made our stay was Andrea, the extremely friendly and helpful owner. He really went out of his way to make us feel welcome, and to recommend several restaurants for us to try - all of which were excellent and very good value. Though the walls were a bit thin (we could hear nearly everything in the halls), for the price we paid, it was a great find. I'd gladly stay here again.

This business site seemed to have been created for reviews of the bar establishment on the beach…read morebut with photos featuring the Statua Il Gigante. Location ~ farthest end from the Spiaggia di Fegina and a good walk from the train station. For passing tourists, a chillaxing spot on the unnoticed side apart from the main center. The bar ~ local, more like a tiki setup with falling apart decor and handwritten menus. Music playing feels more Caribbean than Mediterranean. Only the patio for seating, thankful for the umbrellas shielding the sunburning rays. The drinks ~ usual Italian pilsners, beach cocktails. Pours on the heavier side had our group drinking more than we should have and our obnoxiousness elevated to annoyance of others. Appetizers always seem delish when pairing with a lot of drinks. Bathroom available for diners. Time flies when having fun so check your watch frequently; almost missed the train again. The perfect beach bar. Statua Il Gigante ~ about 100 yards away at the end of the beach is a private villa with an eye popping sculpture that is the symbolic icon of the town. Named Neptune and in 14 meters in height, named fittingly as Gigante. Carved out of the cliff rock, he once guarded the beach with muscular arms & trident. This guy & villa survived bombings from the world war and natural elements but it is evident it is wearing down on him. He needs a drink from the bar.
