Manarola Travel Guide: 194 reviews and 485 photos

The Cinque Terre (Five Lands) region of Italy is located on the Ligurian Coast, an hour or so from Pisa.

I haven't yet visited the whole of Italy, but from what I've seen so far, my favourite place is the Cinque Terre. Ok, the Amalfi Coast is beautiful, but the Cinque Terre is captivating!

There are 5 picturesque villages perched on the cliffs and you can walk between them, amazing at the beauty that this region has to offer.

It is magic here - but don't tell everyone!

Manarola is one of the 5 towns of the Cinque Terre. It is a picturesque village with a tiny harbour and a great place for photography!

The other villages of the Cinque Terre are:

Riomaggiore

Corniglia

Vernazza

Monterosso al Mare

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful - I am really looking forward to our stay there! BTW: there were no vacancies left at Barbara's, but we found another place to stay in Vernazza!

You've presented Cinque Terre in an enticing & ethusiastic way. That intro photo is stunning. The splendor of this charming area is quite evident through your photos & commentary. Thanks for making one of my favorite places appear as captivating as it is.

Great pics.. really ! Do you know whether they have had some agreement to build only on restricted part of the cliffs ? Anyway, it has given a great result.
