In the historic center of Vernazza, a one-bedroom apartment on the fourth floor of a typical tower house consists of a loft with a trapdoor leading to bunk beds, a bathroom with a shower, a kitchenette, a dining area, and a double sofa bed. Above is a panoramic terrace with a dining area and a barbecue sink.

Peace and tranquility in an exceptional location near the sea and the starting point for the various trails of the Cinque Terre National Park, a World Heritage Site.

Vernazza is built around a harbor and surrounded by spectacular natural scenery. It still retains the appearance of a typical Ligurian fishing village.
Vernazza is unique and well worth a visit for its beautiful scenery, its atmosphere, and its stunning sunsets in every season. And “perfect for people who love nature in all its grandeur and the slow pace of life that allows you to savor true joys—those that are simple and genuine.”
Beauty to be enjoyed in every season, each with its own unique charm.
The summer atmosphere is perhaps the best known and easiest to imagine—the splendor and warmth of the sun, the sea, long swims, fishing, diving, and long, fulfilling days.
Spring is the best season—the weather is already warm, the blue of the sky is clear, and the hillsides are swept in bright yellow, with a pleasant fragrance filling the air. It’s also “the best season for hiking and mountain biking, while visiting the villages and sites of the park.”
Every season has its charm, but autumn has a special feature: the lush vineyards with grapes ready for harvest and olive trees bearing their precious fruit.
Driving through the vineyards during the harvest is one of the most captivating sights in the Cinque Terre, along with the fermentation taking place in the region’s cellars.
Even winter has its own special charm: on clear winter nights, when the village streets are free of the typical hustle and bustle of the holiday season, the light takes on magical hues, or when dozens of brightly colored fishing boats appear moored in the harbor square and along the waterfront—a sign that a storm is coming, a spectacle one never tires of watching, and the air is thick with salt.
It is in the fall and winter that the town regains its most characteristic scent.

A tour

The landscape is the result of a thousand years of work by its inhabitants, who transformed the steep hillsides overlooking the sea into fertile terraces for growing grapes and olives. From Vernazza, it’s easy to visit the villages of the Cinque Terre on foot, by train, or by boat. It’s also easy to reach other interesting destinations such as Portovenere, Le Grazie, Tellaro, and Lerici. By train, you can quickly reach Santa Margherita and Portofino, or travel to Genoa or Pisa—home to the first UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Palazzi dei Rolli, and the second featuring the Square of Miracles.
