Overview

Picture-perfect villages, fantastic food, crystal-clear seas and bustling harbours - the Cinque Terre really does have it all! Situated in the north-west of Italy, the five UNESCO villages of the Cinque Terre are nestled on the Ligurian Coast, sandwiched between the blue waters of the Ligurian Sea and the magnificent Apuan Alps. Staying in the pretty village of Corniglia right at the centre of the five villages - Vernazza, Monterosso, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore - you will have the ultimate base for exploring the ‘Five Earths’, or 'Cinque Terre'. Using the trains and coastal paths that link these colourful villages, you will feel like a local in no time. You will even have the opportunity to enjoy a boat journey from Portovenere to Monterosso to see the villages from the sea for a different perspective - and from their most photographed angle.
