History
Franco Tanca, a 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 over the main square and the beach of Monterosso. And also the reason why the linear architecture of the house is altered in correspondence of his own bedroom. That room had to face the sea, so that any morning he could wake up admiring the beloved Mediterranean waters from his own bed. The stars would have always brightened his nights in a lovely lullaby. And in stormy days the waters would have blessed his walls.
This is what today Cinque Terre Riviera Luxury Collection guests can experience on renting Villa Tanca, the very same magic that will permeate their stay in Monterosso.

This is the place for you.
