Cinque Terre

Your private car and driver will transport you from Florence to Monterosso al Mare where you’ll check in to the hotel of your choice. Surrounded by steep hills covered with vineyards and olive groves, charming Monterosso al Mare and its four sister villages are set along Italy’s magnificent northwest coast. The balance of your day is at leisure to relax or explore as you wish.

Here in this region of secluded beaches and rocky grottoes, the five enchanting villages of Cinque Terre are set along cliffs and rugged hills overlooking the azure sea. Retaining their timeless aura, but graced as well with inviting cafes and boutiques, Manarola, Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, and Riomaggiore each have their distinctive charms. Accompanied by your personal guide, you’ll set out this morning by rail and on guided walks to explore the prettiest of these five seaside communities. After sightseeing, your included Cinque Terre Pass offers unlimited use of the local transportation network allowing you to explore more of the region at your own pace. This evening, we’ve arranged for you to dine at Agriturismo Buranco, a charming restaurant famed for its fresh seafood and fine Northern Italian cuisine.  Meals B+D
