The stunning village of Corniglia is one of the five "Cinque Terre" villages in Liguria, an Italian Riviera town located on the northernmost point of the Mediterrean Sea in Italy. It is the only town of the five that is not situated at sea level, clinged to the steep mountain walls, giving it a unique rural atmosphere. With its characteristic terraced hillside vineyards, sparkling blue sea and ancient past, Corniglia is a unique and fascinating place to explore.
The vineyards, once an agricultural powerhouse and today a national monument, give the area its unmistakable landscape, created by generations over hundreds of years. A wander through the small streets in Corniglia village will take you back to years gone by. Hikers get spectacular views from the "Giro della Montagna", two trails extending from Corniglia to the top of the mountain, Montenero and Punta Mesco. While the towns are connected by a seascape trail, Corniglia's trails give great views, fresh air and a sense of adventure that cannot be found in the other villages. There is something special about the beauty of Corniglia, and its unique and historical charm will stay with you long after you go. Enjoy some of Liguria's best food at one of the local restaurants, take in the stunning sunset views, or take a trip to the historic Genoa nearby – all within reach of Corniglia.
