Colorful villages cling to the hillsides, terraced vineyards tumble toward the sea, and olive-lined trails wind through the UNESCO-listed landscapes of the Cinque Terre. From Monterosso to Riomaggiore, via Vernazza, Corniglia and Manarola, and on to Portovenere and Portofino, each day invites you to slow down: walk for a few hours, linger in a village, enjoy a coffee or a glass of local wine, then continue along the trail. Here, hiking is as much about the experience as the walking itself. The routes are rewarding without being overly demanding, leaving plenty of time to explore, pause by the sea and enjoy a little Italian-style relaxation. At the end of each day, return to the comfort of your charming hotel, with spacious, light-filled rooms, an outdoor pool, garden and wellness area.

Level 2: An average of 4 to 5 hours of hiking per day on a well-marked hilly path or trail.
After breakfast, take the train to Monterosso, the first of the Cinque Terre villages. Take some time to explore its medieval streets, visit the church and chapels, or simply enjoy a cappuccino on a sunny terrace.
From Monterosso, follow the scenic coastal trail to Vernazza. The path is beautiful, though steep in places, with plenty of steps along the way. On arrival, enjoy some time to explore the village and perhaps stop for lunch at a local restaurant or in the lively main square beside the picturesque church.
In the afternoon, continue on foot to Corniglia, about a 1,5-hour walk. From the village, descend the long staircase of 382 steps to reach the train station below.
For an extra touch of relaxation during your stay, why not enjoy a massage or spa treatment at the hotel?
Today, continue your exploration of the Cinque Terre with visits to Riomaggiore, Manarola, and Corniglia. Take the train to Riomaggiore and allow some time to explore this picturesque village, the easternmost of the Cinque Terre. From here, follow the famous Via dell'Amore, a fully paved coastal path spectacularly set above the sea, to reach Manarola. From this tiny village, clustered around its small harbour, the route climbs steeply towards Volastra, with numerous stone steps along the way. Your efforts are rewarded with beautiful views from the village and across the surrounding coastline. Continue along a scenic balcony trail before descending more steeply towards Corniglia. Perched on a rocky promontory around 100 metres above the Mediterranean, Corniglia is the only one of the five Cinque Terre villages not located directly on the seafront.
For an easier option, we also recommend taking the bus from Manarola to Volastra, saving you a fairly steep climb of around one hour.
Why not try kayaking, snorkeling, or even both? These activities depart from Sestri Levante, which is easily accessible by train. Ask our travel advisors for more information.
