Between
Portovenere and Levanto, along a 15 kms area, lies the enchanting
scenery of the Cinque Terre.
The sound of the sea waves dashing against the rocks and the intense
perfumes of myrtle, oleanders, lemons, pines and Mediterranean maquis
make this area one of the most suggestive of Italy.
The 5 villages hold art treasures and offer a natural and tasty cuisine
and famous wines.
In 1999 this 4,200 hectares territory, inhabited by five thousand
people, has been included in the Parco Nazionale delle Cinque Terre
(National Park of the Cinque Terre). |
| Come here by train
and walk up and down the footpaths along the dry walls, and enjoy
the enchanting panoramas over the blue sea. The paths of the Cinque
Terre and of Liguria's Eastern Riviera - about twenty - represent
for nature lovers an interesting way to know and appreciate this territory
(estimated time required: 3 hours, altitude 314 m). Start from the
medieval Loggia del Comune and follow the ancient walls. After crossing
a small bridge, go uphill to Punta Mesco. Just beyond the restaurant
"La Giada" turn right into a pathway and through vineyards
and olive-groves go up to the Mesco headland. |
 |
 |
From the top you will have an enchanting
view of the Cinque Terre. Take the steep path nearby the ruins of
the Oratorio di Sant'Antonio and walk downhill to Monterosso.
The Village is situated in a protected area (15 hectares rich in trees
and flowers typical of the Mediterranean regions) close to the National
Park of the Cinque Terre.
The microclimatic features are due to the favourable position facing
south and protected from the North winds. Medium temperatures, in
fact, during the coldest months seldom fall below 10° and weather
is dry and sunny for most of the year and windy in Summer.
Rains, sometimes violent, sharpen Underwood's perfumes, while in Winter
citrus fruits grow ripe and roses come out with no risk of frosts. |
Tourists, who nowadays
are more and more desirous to find unspoilt places, find here the
ideal place for a stay in all seasons. There, they can go through
old tracks and discover landscapes, scents and natural flavours.
The village is situated in a bay facing the sea of the Cinque Terre
with three beautiful gulfs, between Punta del Carlino and Punta Gone.
The wild and charming landscape presents geologic characteristics
and remarkable rocky beds.
It offers the possibility to enjoy a sea holiday far from noise and
crowds, in a bay with crystal-clear water, surrounded by gillyflowers
and fennel.
In the small coves among the rocks it is nice to swim into the depths,
characterized by rare species and meadows of Posidonia, or sunbathe
under the gazebo. For children there is a special swimming pool near
the sea.
Walking through the shaded footpaths of the Village, from the belvedere
to the orchard, from the restaurant down to the sea, one feels part
of a protected natural landscape.
Most of the plants are autochthonous, but all have features that help
to understand the environment. |
 |
 |
They grow in a particularly mild climate
in Winter, but an unfavourable one in Summer, when heat and dry weather
concur to create difficult conditions. Evergreens predominate, both
in the forest vegetation as well as in the characteristic Mediterranean
maquis.
They can be found on the rocks close to the sea or in the underbrush
of the pinewoods.
This delicate environment can be damaged by human actions: fire is
the recurrent element which opposes vegetation's development and growth.
The natural habitat offers many pleasant sensations and this is why
it is so important to respect and preserve it. |
For those
who want to know this territory, the village often organizes botanical
excursions, while fauna route helps adults and children to spot mammals,
birds and fish
Sport and swimming-pool - the village is a self-sufficient settlement,
where you can spend your time with no hurry or constraint.
For sports and relaxing there is a rich choice: indoor gym, 2 tennis
courts, football and volley-ball fields, bowling, minigolf, table
tennis, training.
All these activities can be performed all year round.
The swimming-pool (25x10 metres), situated among pine-trees and oleanders,
is open from June to September: |
 |
 |
sun-beds whirl bath and aqua gym courses
are available during the Summer.
Bar and restaurant - It is possible to choose among a quick menu (for
the youngest guests there is also a children menu), takeaway or a
special menu Gourmet (à la carte), for a candle-light dinner
at sunset at the new restaurant surrounded on three sides by a two-level
terrace, 350 sq. m large, situated on the extreme cliff of a promontory
overhanging the sea.
You can enjoy from it breathtaking beautiful landscapes on the Sea
Park of Punta Mesco. |
It is nice to sit down
at a table of the spacious and comfortable dining-room in the evening,
and taste the local and Mediterranean specialties, as well as the
best international dishes.
Later, let's enjoy music at the contiguous bar, where you can meet
friends for a coffee or a drink.
The small bar next to the playground is, in Summer, the meeting-place
for children and young, who can take part there in the evening activities
- always discreet - with the animators. |
 |
 |
Also the feasts, the concerts and the
open-air entertainments are a good opportunity to visit surroundings
at nightfall.Minimarket - If you feel
like cooking at home, you can find provisions at the minimarket: fresh
milk, Ligurian focaccia, vegetables and cheese, all of local production.
Private route and parking - The private route, that from the entrance
gate slopes down to the sea, offers beautiful views, but numerous
are the footpaths taking to enchanting corners.
You can leave your car in a secure parking area and get anywhere on
foot. This is good for adults, but mostly for children, who will be
able to move around in complete safety |

parks. After a phase of decline, the medieval centre - one of the

village. Behind, among the hill's pinetrees and holm oaks, the old

dominated by sloping terraces and almost hanging between sky and sea,
make up one of the most suggestive scenery of Ligurian coastline.
All of them are worth a visit. A frequent train service connects the
5 centres in only a few minutes from Levanto or Bonassola. But it
is also possible to get there on foot: the views of the sea and the
coast deserve a little effort.

kms. Marine lovers can visit the Arsenal, the largest one in Italy,
while ancient and modern art is well represented in Amedeo Lia Museum.

numerous boats that sail across the gulf daily.

old churches and gothic monuments.
