It depends on how genuine the love is. If a villain really is in love with someone, and this is treated sympathetically, they definitely aren't Monsters. Now, if they're portrayed more like a yandere or the love is little more than hollow lust (Frollo for the best example) this isn't a redeeming factor.

Point being, if the love is more "lustful" or violently possessive than genuine, it is not disqualifying.
