Nearby lies the enchanting scenery of the Cinque Terre.

The five villages contain stunning buildings and scenery and offer marvellous, simple local cuisine and great wines.
There is terrific walking here. Starting from the medieval Loggia del Comune and following the ancient walls, you wander through vineyards and olive groves to the Mesco headland. From here you have an enchanting view of the Cinque Terre, and then take the steep path nearby the ruins of the Oratorio di Sant’Antonio and downhill to Monterosso.
Eastward lies Genoa, an important Mediterranean port as well as an artistically rich city, with historic buildings, gardens and parks. Visit the Arsenal at La Spezia, or see ancient and modern art at the town’s Amedeo Lia Museum. Portovenere, meanwhile, has beautiful old churches and gothic monuments. And Lucca sits within its mediaeval fortified walls, one of the best examples of Renaissance architecture. Pisa and Florence, cradles of the Renaissance and today home to museums, galleries and marvellous architecture are both within easy day-tripping distance.
