The Cinque Terre region has attracted visitors for over a century, and with good reason.

For something more relaxing, the town’s beach is a 2-minute walk from the apartment. It is one of the only sandy beaches in Cinque Terre and is ideal for snorkelling, paddle-boarding and kayaking to explore the neighbouring coves.

The town’s weekly farmers market is held on Tuesday morning. Here you can find the best local produce. For daily needs there is a supermarket in the town (1 minute) and smaller speciality shops for fish, wine and charcuterie.
