Detailed Description
An authentic earthly paradise just around the corner... A place suspended in time, 5 villages hanging between sea and land, one of the most amazing and enchanting landscapes in the world, celebrated by Romantic poets such as Lord Byron and Shelley!
Your personal driver will pick you up at daybreak from your accommodation in Florence. Relaxing comfortably in our luxury Mercedes vehicle, you can admire the beautiful Tuscan countryside and the breath taking Carrara marble quarries en route to the stunning Cinque Terre coastline.
Once in Liguria, your driver will safely drive you along the coast, through the picturesque hillsides of Cinque Terre National Park. The driver will be at your disposal for the entirety of your day in Cinque Terre. When you are ready to move from one town to another, he is one call away. If you prefer, here is a flexible itinerary we recommend:
Your first stop will be in Riomaggiore, the first of the five villages. As you walk through the Mediterranean alleyways, you will immediately smell the fresh sea air and pesto cooking in small shops. Make your way to the natural port, where you will find brightly colored homes stacked upon a striking cliff. You will see fishermen as well as eager Italians ready for their day upon the water!
When you are ready to head to the next town, your driver will take you to Vernazza. Explore the pastel colored streets and cobblestone alleyways until you inevitably find your way to the small harbor. This is one of the most photographed spots in Cinque Terre. Spend some time in the beautiful scenery, dip your toes in the water, and when you are ready, your driver will take you to the next town.
You will quickly be driven to the next town, Monterosso. First, explore the town - studded in historic churches, lovely restaurants, and artisanal shops. Then, make your way the gem of Monterosso… the wide, white sand beach. Enjoy laying under the Lingurian sun and swimming in the crystal clear water. The views from here are surely unforgettable.
After a day of exploration and picture-perfect scenery, it will be time to head back to Florence. Simply hop into your luxury, air conditioned vehicle, and you will be on your way back in complete tranquility.
This is an unmissable day in Italy’s most colorful coastline!
