Well, if you are wondering where to sleep in Levanto the answer is at the Oasi boutique hotel, right downtown! However, our boutique hotel is a small one, with just 14 double rooms, and is easily fully booked several weeks ahead. We, therefore, decided to write this post with the […]

The beach in Bonassola is our favorite! When our guests ask us where to go to the beach between Framura and Cinque Terre, we have no doubt and always recommend going to Bonassola! The beach is only 10 minutes by bike along the beautiful bike path. You can ask us both […]

Yes, some Vernazza’s traditions might look a bit crazy… Vernazza is world-famous for its beauty, for being a UNESCO site within the Cinque Terre, its wine, and its cozy colorful restaurants on the main square. Vernazza is amazing, as amazing are its kids and their crazy jumping-in-the-waves tradition! They do that […]

Framura is an extraordinary village, elected among the Borghi più Belli d’Italia (i.e., the most beautiful villages in Italy) and Les plus beaux Villages de la Terre (i.e., the most beautiful villages on earth), it’s the final stop of the walking and biking path starting in Levanto and running through Bonassola.

When staying in Levanto for more than one or two days and wanting to relax away from the hustle and bustle of Cinque Terre, we recommend the Carrara marble quarries tours! The quarries are at not even one hour driving from Levanto or 40 to 50 minutes by train, and tours are […]

Yes, the village of Corniglia is just different. It’s perched on a steep hill and inaccessible, and from the sea, it looks like a tiny wonderland. It is the third village of Cinque Terre and the only one without docking for boats and Cinque Terre ferry, and probably this detail, far from harming […]

A day trip to San Fruttuoso is an experience not to be missed if you come in this area! Visiting San Fruttuoso, Portofino and Camogli I recommend you take the train in the morning and get off in Camogli, to me one of the most beautiful villages in the region. Camogli […]
