Vacation Rentals in Cinque Terre

The Cinque Terre region offers you a number of holiday apartments in a dream location in a total of five villages which nestle gently on the slopes of the national park. From such an apartment with terrace you have a wonderful view of the sea below and the picturesque vineyards. For a holiday at the seaside we recommend a vacation rental in Monterosso al Mare, where there is a small sandy beach. Otherwise, any holiday accommodation in Cinque Terre is a perfect starting point for hiking and mountain biking.

Most of the apartments in Cinque Terre offer you an open space, such as a terrace or a garden, where you can really relax after an extended excursion through the national park. If you also want to jump into the cool water, we recommend a vacation rental with pool. Since the journey by car is difficult in many villages due to the narrow village lanes, many landlords offer a shuttle service. In this way you can leave your car at home and simply travel by train.

Cinque Terre is a coastline in Italy located on the Italian Riviera, between Punta di Montenero and Punta Mesco. It is located in the region of Liguria, northwest of La Spezia. Translated Cinque Terre means "five villages", which is true, as there are five small villages along the coast called Monterosso al Mare, Corniglia, Vernazza, Riomaggiore and Manarola. These are located in the terrain incisions of the steep mountain range towards the sea. The region has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1997 and has been designated a National Park.

Those who travel to Cinque Terre should bring good shoes and a camera. Exploring the National Park on foot is a truly unique experience. Visit the five villages, preferably via the Via dell´Amore hiking trail, which links the villages along the coast. On the way you will discover the charming landscape of narrow paths through vineyards and olive groves as well as the constant view of the sea and the steep coast.

The Cinque Terre National Park can also be explored by mountain bike. For this you will be offered different routes, such as the 24 kilometre Volastra Tour. On the way you will have a magnificent view of the roofs of the villages of Manarola, Corniglia and Riomaggiore. The starting point and end point of the mountain bike route is the village square in Volastra.

The inhabitants of Cinque Terre live partly from winegrowing, which produces excellent wines due to the favourable climatic conditions. Olives and citrus fruits are also important agricultural products in Cinque Terre. In addition, fishing has been of great importance to the inhabitants of the region for centuries. Let a fish dish drizzled with olive oil and lemons melt on your tongue and enjoy a glass of wine with it.

If you arrive by car, miss out on one of the most beautiful views you can get by train. The train ride along the coastal strip is a real attraction and shows you impressive tunnels, views of the sea as well as of all five villages and the adjacent beach resorts.
