Description
Fantastic, unique property with unusual architecture and exclusive location. A 2-bedroom 2-bathroom rental with magnificent view on all the Cinque Terre coastline. Romantic retreat for couples and ideal also for families up to 4.
La Casa del Gigante, nestled in the exclusive location of Monterosso, Cinque Terre, stands as a beacon of luxury and history. Situated near the iconic statue of the Giant, this villa offers not just accommodation but an immersive experience in the rich tapestry of Monterosso’s past and present.
With private access from the road leading to Fegina’s beaches, the villa sits beneath the majestic towers of Monterosso, one of which, La Torre dei Merli, is available for rent. The villa’s architecture is a marvel, with its defining feature being the expansive arched windows that seamlessly blend the interior with the breathtaking vistas of the sea and sky.
Spanning two floors, the villa boasts a lower level carved into the rock, featuring a versatile room equipped with modern amenities and a dedicated bathroom. Ascending to the upper floor reveals a spacious mezzanine hosting a double bedroom and an ensuite bathroom offering panoramic views of the sea, including a shower with a view that is nothing short of mesmerizing.
The allure of the Giant’s House lies not only in its architectural splendor but also in its storied past. Once part of the illustrious Villa Pastine, which met its demise during the tumultuous events of the Second World War and the ravaging storm of 1966, the Giant’s House stands as a testament to resilience, having been rebuilt to become an enduring symbol of Monterosso.
The visionaries behind this architectural gem, Claudio Andreani and Piero Pinto, have left their indelible mark on its design. Andreani, renowned for his monumental structures of the fascist era and his evocative creations on water, brought a sense of grandeur to the villa’s exterior. Meanwhile, Pinto, known for his clean and evocative interior spaces crafted around the globe, imbued La Casa del Gigante with a sense of timeless elegance and comfort.
Whether for a romantic getaway or a family retreat, La Casa del Gigante offers an unparalleled experience, where history, luxury, and natural beauty converge to create memories that will last a lifetime.
