Cinque Terre Private Day Tour from Rome

After a lovely ride (about 4 hours) by train or by private car, from Rome through Umbria and Tuscany and along the Thyrrenian Sea you will arrive in La Spezia where together with your tour escort, you will catch the train to each the 5 tiny villages of the Cinque Terre: Monterosso, Manarola, Riomaggiore, Corniglia, Vernazza. Then on the way back to La Spezia you will take a boat to admire those lovely villages from the sea with a stop in Portovenere.The inhabitants of Cinque Terre benefit not only from its pristine waters,but from its natural environment, where wild nature is scattered with vineyards, olive plantation and citrus orchards,creating a precious bond between man.Admire coltivation of grapes and olives on terraces up to the cliffs that overlook the Mediterranean Sea!The breathtaking views of harbours far below,the wild but hospitable coastline along with the medieval fortresses and plentiful vines and vibrant colours,make this a memorable holiday.

“Rubra” used to be the ancient Latin name given to this village because of the reddish colour of the hills at sunset. “…Rocky and austere village, refuge for fishermen and farmers”, as the Nobel Price Eugenio Montale described the village of Monteroaao, summer retreat of his family. A rich church and a lot of narrow and fresh “carruggi” are the setting for lively lemon trees.

The web of “carruggi” (narrow lanes) and steep stairways converges in the main square overlooking the sea. This is the centre of the village, where stands the church dedicated to Saint Margaret of Antiochia (1318) with its foundations in the sea.

In ancient times, the village was more extended southward, but strong slumps due to the sea have caused a number of landslides of the hill. This is now a long cliff, connected with the village by 365 steps, numbered like the days of the year. This village was built around the XI century and still preserve its charm.

Its name almost certainly derives from “Manium Arula” (dead souls temple). The harbour is formed by a terraced promenade with boats hanging at the foot of a handful of coloured houses. Above the hills you’ll find the terraces with vines growing on them… these are the vines of Cinque Terre, a dry white wine, rough like the sea.

A jewel of the Cinque Terre, this village was founded at the end of the XII century. Along the charming road down to the “Marina” you will find the typical coloured houses, which seem to cling to one another, with the boat dock in the middle.
