In September 2019, some customers asked me to drive them from Annecy to Cinque Terre with my taxi. The trip was lovely but quite long so I booked a room in Vernazza in order to get some sleep and enjoy Italian food before coming back home to Annecy. I really enjoyed those colored villages by the sea and the Italian dolce vita.
The Cinque Terre meaning “Five Lands” is a coastal area within Liguria, in the northwest of Italy. It lies in the west of La Spezia Province, and comprises five villages: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The breathtaking views of harbours far below the wild but hospitable coastline along with the medieval fortresses and plentiful vines and vibrant colours make this a memorable holiday.
It is very narrow and difficult to park there so the best way to discover the place is to get a train day ticket.
Also a cruise to Portovenere (lovely place too) can allow you to see the spot by boat.
With my customers we drove from Annecy to Cinque Terre but stopped in Portofino on the way, Portofino is a lovely little port as famous as St Tropez in France.
Portofino, a picturesque fishing village on Italy’s Riviera, is renowned for its charming harbor with luxury yachts, colorful houses, and stunning coastal views. This upscale destination attracts visitors with its fine dining and boutique shopping. Nestled amidst lush hills, Portofino offers a serene atmosphere, making it a favorite retreat for travelers seeking both relaxation and vibrant Italian culture.
