Cinque Terre Apartments & Villas (Liguria)
The Cinque Terre is a beautiful hilly landscape covered with trees, dotted with lovely coves and beaches, and criss-crossed with footpaths to make a hikers paradise. It is an area famous throughout the world and encompasses the towns (villages) of Monterosso Al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. Vernazza lies just outside the Cinque Terra national park on the northern coast.
The Cinque Terre national park is the first Italian park created to safeguard a landscape that has been mostly built by man. Liguria is rich in landscape, villages and architecture and is characterised by steep terraces sloping down to the sea. The terraces covered by vineyards are held back by 7,000 km of dry stone walling.
The Cinque Terre national park is recognised by Unesco's 'Mankind's World Heritage' and includes a protected marine area. Authentic Italy offers a choice of self catering Cinque Terre apartments or Cinque Terre villas in this Italian region of Liguria.
