Review:

Corniglia is one of five incredibly picturesque villages of Cinque Terre in Liguria in Northern Italy.

Its colorful old stone houses are clinging to the steep rock that on one side drops almost vertically to the Mediterranian and on three others is dotted with vineyards and olive groves. Corniglia is ancient, incredibly beautiful and unique, and it is connected to four other villages by the Sentiero Azzurro cliffside hiking trail.

To get to the sea and small picturesque port, you have to climb 382 steps cut in the stone, but there is also a normal road. The views from anywhere in the village are breathtaking, and spending some time roaming its streets and tasting the famous pesto in one of the local trattorias always makes for an special experience.
