"The Cinque Terre is one of the most sun-drenched and languid stretches of coast in all of Italy—and as a result, one of the most tourist-packed. It's important to know what to see and what to avoid, which I've sussed out on my many visits!"
—Dana Quinn, Experience Designer
Discover the colourful Ligurian Coast
From pastel-coloured, cliff-hanging villages stacked along the coast to the Dolce Vita hotspot and the exclusive bay of Portofino, the region of Liguria is a dynamic mix of old and new blended with modesty and luxury. Explore terraced vineyards, the cultivation an art in itself, dizzyingly high over the sea before strolling through the vibrantly coloured towns, each faded trim and ornate detail speaks of the thirst for beauty. And after experiencing the ancient trails, the sight of your hotel’s azure pool is an invitation to utter relaxation. Unwind, explore and marvel at this fantasy world, impossibly picturesque and wonderfully relaxing.
Discover the possibilities:
Hike Seaside Villages & Terraced Cliffs
Along the coast and hinterland lies a zig-zag of historical trails still used by shepherds and farmers today. After years of exploration, we’ve hand-picked our favourites, connecting small villages often overlooked while dropping into the region’s most recognizable bays along the way. We ensure just the right mix of quiet, jaw-dropping routes blended with abundant, sublime relaxation.
Cinque Terre & Portofino Food, Wine & Culture
It's no surprise this coastline attracted painters, writers and jet setters in its heyday, with picture-perfect landscapes, vibrant colours and sweeping vistas. Stop by tiny medieval villages lined with original walls and fortresses, craggy hilltop monasteries and a mix of Romanesque and Genovese gothic churches. Soak up the gorgeous coastline before sipping a sweet Sciacchetrà with a vintner or whipping up a plate of pasta al pesto with our favourite chef.
