After pick-up from your ship at Livorno, Italy’s Cinque Terre is a bit like a beauty pageant, with one village after another competing to have the most charming backstreets, the cutest pastel buildings and the most Instagrammable views. Just when you think you’ve found the most beautiful spot, another one comes along and blows you away again. But like real-life beauty queens, each of the five villages has its own different charms. Some are showy and others are a bit more subtle – like Corniglia. It might not have Monterosso’s beach or Riomaggiore’s colourful harbour, but it has its own understated beauty – which is why I chose it as the base for your trip to the Cinque Terre. *Explore the Towns of Manarola, Vernazza and Corniglia *Enjoy lunch in a beautiful borgo like Vernazza (not included) *Enjoy the wonderful atmosfere and have a wine tasting in Corniglia
