Località la Maddalena, 19016 Monterosso al Mare, Italy – Excellent location - show map
Excellent location — rated 9.4/10! (score from 61 reviews)
Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
The location is breath-taking. High in the hills above Monterossa al Mare but less than 15 minutes by car down to the village. As such it is a slice of heaven, well away from hustle and bustle of the Cinque Terre villages. The property is an old monastery with a 13thC chapel attached, the rooms are both rustic and tasteful. All in all - a magical place…

United KingdomEvery corner of this beautiful place, which was originally a monastery dating back to the 13th (might not be precise sorry!) century, is filled with love and care. This is a perfect place to forget about the mundane and escape into the nature. Extremely clean and aesthetically pleasing. Thanks for the hospitality Elisabetta and Roberta!

United KingdomMy partner and I stayed at Eremo della Maddalena for 2 nights. The hotel host, Thusit, made us feel so incredibly welcome while we were there! He is so friendly and easy to talk to. The breakfast was also perfect! We loved the variety. The property itself is breathtaking! I can see why many people decide to get married there! We look forward to coming back soon and hope the Thusit is still the host!

United StatesDie Lage oberhalb von Monterosso ist ideal. Nach Wanderungen an der Küste im Gedränge der Tagestouristen ist es sehr entspannend, wenn man sich zurückziehen kann. Da es nur wenige Zimmer und damit Gäste hat, wird man sehr persönlich betreut. Pool war leider noch nicht in Betrieb, aber wenn er es ist, dann kann man hier problemlos "nichts" tun.

SwitzerlandDie Unterkunft und deren Lage sind traumhaft. Wir haben vier wunderschöne Tage genossen & in der Gegend (Auto von grossem Vorteil!) viel unternommen. Baden im wunderschön gelegenen Pool mit super Aussicht ist nicht zu kurz gekommen. Die Eigentümerin & Angestellten waren sehr freundlich & hilfsbereit. Wir können die Unterkunft nur empfehlen.

ItalyLe monastère est juché sur les hauteurs de Monterosso avec un accès privé jusqu'au site en voiture (nous avions même pu laisser la voiture sur place). Il y'a aussi un petit chemin qui mène jusqu'au village, pratique pour partir en trek depuis la maison. Nous avons adoré le calme et la vue imprenable sur la mer et le village. Le Monastère est très bien entretenu, il n'y a pas de faute de gout coté décoration. Notre chambre était très spacieuse. Le staff était adorable, il y'a toujours quelqu'un sur place mais nous avions l'impression d'être seul - le grand luxe. Et les croissants du petit déjeuner était délicieux.

Host Information

Host review score
L'Eremo della Maddalena è una residenza storica che si affitta per vacanze e eventi.Sorge isolato su un colle a circa 3 km dall'abitato di Monterosso: già intitolato a S.Lorenzo in Terriccio, fu sede di una comunità di monaci benedettini dipendenti dal monastero di S.Gerolamo della Cervara presso Portofino, la cui prima menzione risale al 1244.
Esso è composto da due corpi di fabbrica: la chiesa a nord e il monastero a sud.
La chiesa, ha un semplice impianto a aula unica rettangolare terminante con un abside semicircolare, ed è costruita con blocchi squadrati di arenaria disposti a filari regolari sovrapposti.
Un primo rifacimento della chiesa è documentato nel 1427,quando gli uomini della comunità ne sopraelevarono le murature . Annesso alla chiesa si trova il monastero ,disposto su due lati di un piccolo chiostro con archetti in laterizi. Le celle originarie al primo piano e al piano chiostro sono oggi adibite a camere da letto. Il
criptoportico verso mezzogiorno adibito a cantina fino al XV secolo è coperto da volte a vela e oggi trasformato nel soggiorno sul giardino.
