Top 10 Hidden Gems Things to do in Cinque Terre, Liguria

December 29, 2021 Enriqueta Cusson

You'll find rugged beauty and a slow pace in the Cinque Terre. Named for the five towns of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, this portion of the Italian Riviera is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cars aren't allowed, so take local trains or ferries to go from town to town—or walk one of the spectacular trails that connect them.

Church of San Francesco - Capuchin Friars Monastery

Constructed from 1618 from the Capuchin Friars who came in Monterosso, the Church of San Francesco contains some fine art including a Crucifixion by Antoon Van Dyck, and sono other important Itaian painters from XVII and XVIII centuries. Near the church there is the Monastery of Capuchin Friars a very ancient structure with great garden where Friars live. It is a place of Peace and spirituality with a gorgeus view on the seaside. Here you can live the experience of St. Francis of Assis: semplicity and poverty and show his love for God and the beauty of nature and creation.

Definitely worth the many steps up! Nice areas to stop along the way for pictures and the statue of St Francis. Very interesting history of the church and monastery and unusual grave site at the top.Well worth it!

Reviewed By BobLizRun - Erbendorf, Germany

You must visit! The owners bring you in like family and are so incredibly genuine. The pictures don’t do this beautiful home justice! It’s magical! If they are unfortunately booked for your stay you must visit for dinner or a wine tasting. You will not be disappointed! We have three small children under the age of 9 and this was their favorite part of our trip (my husband and mine too). There is a huge courtyard for the children to play. The kids also get to explore the lemon orchards, grape vineyard, and bee keepers. I can’t get over what a beautiful hidden gem this place is!!! Just gorgeous!

We came to Cinque Terre for the wine and hiking and didn’t get to the hiking until our last day. This was well worth the effort. It is not an easy hike, in fact, it is a good hour of up-hill climbing but well worth the view once you get there. Wear good shoes and light clothes. I brought a camelback water bladder and towel because of the heavy humidity. It’s a beautiful hike with blackberries, small plumbs and wild pears along the trail. Well worth the effort.
