The Paths

For centuries, the only means of connecting the five villages, along with La Spezia and its neighboring regions, was through these historic trails.

In contemporary times, these routes are regarded as one of the finest ways to discover and appreciate the splendor of the area.
The three primary trails are suitable for individuals with moderate fitness levels, provided they are appropriately attired, and are clearly marked by the CAI of La Spezia with red and white signage.
The first trail traverses the ridge that divides Val di Vara.
The second trail, referred to as the Santuari (Sanctuaries) path, links the various places of worship within the villages.
The third trail, numbered 592 - SVA (1-2-3), commonly known as Sentiero Azzurro (Blue Path), connects all towns.

The villages

Cinque Terre, or Five Lands if you prefer, is a picturesque coastal region located in Liguria, in the northwestern part of Italy. It is situated to the west of La Spezia Province and consists of five charming villages: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore.
The coastline, along with the five villages and the adjacent hills, is encompassed within a National Park that has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
One of the primary concerns for travelers is where to stay in Cinque Terre.
We provide eight distinctive charming properties located merely 1.3 kilometers from Vernazza and 1.5 kilometers from Corniglia. These lodgings offer sea views, private parking, gardens, and air conditioning. The options include Leo's Lodge, Villa Corbezzolo, The Captain's House, Teresita Apartment, Lemon Suite, Gateway on the Sea, Blue Path Apartment, and Luxury Hiking Lodge, all ideally positioned along the Blue Path (Sentiero Azzurro).

Monterosso al Mare
The biggest of the five towns, offers the most amenities and is a perfect choice for beach-lovers. With the only sandy beach in the area, visitors can rent chairs, umbrellas, or even a kayak to explore the numerous coves along the coast.
The town also boasts plenty of shops, aperitivo bars, and seafood restaurants in its charming old town and along the promenade.
Compared to the other villages, this one is relatively flat, making it easier for visitors to navigate and explore all that the town has to offer.
