2 Liguria 5 Terre walk excursion: paradise between heaven and earth A small, but perfectly formed world that so far has managed to safeguard its pristine environment with great tenacity. True, its nature, rugged and untamed, has lent a helpful hand. The beauty of the Cinque Terre lies in the marked contrast between the sea and the sheer cliffs, and the even greater one between the rocky earth and the verdant vineyards that produce a very famous wine. The coastal trail - the so-called Via dell Amore (Lovers Walk) - links the 5 villages of Monterosso, Vernazza, Coniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore.

8 Umbria Hotel Piccolo Eden 3* Città della Pieve I left Perugia on a lovely morning... and the view of the lake is truly a delight. Thus wrote Goethe during his journey to Rome.

Here, a small but lively town with a breathtaking view over Umbria s mountains, valleys and lakes awaits you: Città della Pieve. Due to its beauty, for a number of years the town was used as the setting of a TV series.
