The Cinque Terre are one of Italy’s most fascinating destinations: colorful seaside villages, scenic trails, and unique landscapes.

To truly enjoy them at their best, though, the most important choice isn’t only what to see… but where to stay.

Visiting the Cinque Terre with ease

The five villages – Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore – are connected by frequent trains, making it easy to get around during the day.

For this reason, many travelers choose a well-connected base, allowing them to visit the Cinque Terre freely and without stress.
