This was a beautiful little B&B just outside the center of the new town in Monterosso.

As others have mentioned, upon departure we were given a bottle of limoncello made on the property- we are looking forward to drinking it one night when we recreate (or attempt to recreate) a...
Read moreLe Giare is a wonderful B&B a short walk from downtown. The owners will arrange transport from the train station. A family run, friendly location with a wonderful grove of lemon and olive trees. Everything you think Italy will be! ||The hosts are gracious and knowledgeable about everything in the area. Boat travel, restaurants, Cinque Terre paths, history and culture of the area plus a great breakfast to start each day was a wonderful way to begin our three weeks in Italy! ||The rooms are designed with a good eye and felt like home right from the start. The patio made for a nice view overlooking the groves of lemon and olive trees. Also a good place to dry laundry. I would highly recommend...
