The harbor area is filled with colorful rowing boats and becomes the main sunbathing and swimming spot of the village from morning until dusk. In fact, this is the perfect place to spend a lazy day sunbathing and watching people jumping off the cliffs. Although there is no real beach here, it has some of the best deep-water swimming around. Along the main road the boats are pulled onto dry land every time the sea is rough. The village is all ups and downs, with steep narrow alleys carrugi, leading to the sea.
Vernazza
Nestled along the rugged Ligurian coast, Vernazza is a picturesque Cinque Terre village known for its vibrant houses, breathtaking beauty, and UNESCO World Heritage status. With car-free winding streets, a lively harbor, and charming shops, Vernazza offers a delightful experience for visitors. At its heart lies the lively Piazza Marconi and the stunning 14th-century Church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia. The village boasts scenic hiking trails, such as the famous Sentiero Azzurro, connecting it to neighboring Monterosso al Mare. Vernazza's gastronomic allure lies in its exquisite Ligurian cuisine and locally-produced Cinque Terre white wine.

5.00So much fun - what a great day ! Yaris was great, being on the water on the ferry in the sun was fantastic, the villages were beautiful - capped off by an excellent seafood lunch. Can’t recommend this tour strongly enough.

4.00Sam was the best guide! Itinerary would have been better if Pisa was included to make the tour more complete and worthwhile. A little expensive if just Cinque Terra
Great Day!

5.00We jumped on this tour last minute & I am so grateful there was space for us! It was a small group & the van we drove in was extremely comfortable. We had plenty of free time, but also learned about the areas we were visiting. There are many tours to Cinque Terre but this one was outstanding. I cant recommend enough!

5.00My wife and I and best friends celebrated our respective 30 year anniversaries with a trip to Italy. We enjoyed a private day trip from Florence to explore the iconic Tuscan hill towns of Siena and San Gimignano. We strolled through medieval streets, admired its stunning architecture, tasted several gelato options, and shopped in numerous boutiques for souvenirs. In between the city visits we experienced a renowned, but quaint winery. We tasted several red wines and connected with the hosts who were fun and knowledgeable. They prepared a traditional Tuscan lunch, including cheeses, bread, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and tasty chicken wings. The highlight of the trip was a full day tour to Cinque terre as we visited Vernazza, Monterosso and Manarola. The coastal towns have great views of the water and colorful houses. We enjoyed shopping and Lemoncello by the shore. Our driver-escort, gave us information on the way, ensured we got some scenic pictures, arranged our train tickets between the cities, and was great to interact with. We shared the van with two other couples, which was also fun. Of course I was super-impressed with our one day visit to Rome. We took the fast train from Florence which is a 2 hour trip in comfortable seats. Our guide, Francesca, met us at the train station and we saw some amazing sites and ruins: Rome piazzas and fountains , Colosseum, Forum , Pantheon, Trevi fountain, and Spanish steps. Francesca is super knowledgeable, engaging, and fun. In summary I highly recommend AVVENTURE BELLISSIME for your excursion planning and execution. In preparation for our trip to Italy we communicated frequently with Monica who found the right adventures for our group of four. I was also impressed with the ongoing communication of tactical details of where to meet and the driver/guide information. Thanks to Monica, Nurila, and their team for a lifetime experience.
