Five Lands…charming and old villages full of rich ancient traditions and warm hospitality. The Cinque Terre takes its name from five small villages - Corniglia, Manarola, Monterosso al Mare, Riomaggiore and Vernazza - that defiantly cling to the inhospitable, rugged Ligurian coastline. Panoramas suspend between sky and sea with terraced vineyards, strips of olive trees, wild Mediterranean bush and high cliffs reaching down to cobalt blue seas.
