The last of the five villages along the Cinque Terre strip, Monterosso al Mare is the most visited, largely because it has the only sizable sand beach and the biggest hotels. Though it can get very crowded with tourists during the peak summer months, Monterosso is still delightful. The old town area, separated from the more modern resort area by the Aurora tower, is home to the ruins of a medieval castle and San Francesco church, which houses an important Van Dyck painting of the crucifixion.

We’ll depart from the harbor in Monterosso, the northernmost village, and cruise along the coast of the Cinque Terre, while enjoying an Italian aperitivo on board. You'll get to know the other guests on the boat while learning about the history of the area, told to you by your English speaking guide. Weather permitting, we’ll stop along the way in one of the pristine coves that only a small boat can enter for a swim in the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean. For Lunch Tours (€150 per person): We’ll stop in one of the villages for lunch at one of the area’s best family-run restaurants. Here we’ll enjoy a gourmet seafood lunch (alternatives available!) – be prepared for a feast!! For evening Tapas Tours (€100 per person): We’ll stop in one of the villages for fresh tapas at one of the area’s best family-run restaurants. We also offer a Day Tour that does not stop in any village and allows more time for swimming.

We want to offer our customers an exciting and yet relaxing day within the Cinque Terre Marine Park. During our tour to see the Cinque Terre villages, we explain the story on how these villages came to be with some great stories and information. Of course a swim in the Mediterranean is included, and the size of our boat makes it spacious and comfortable.

Vegetarian or Gluten free options are available. We now also run a Pesto Masterclass every evening at 5.00pm.. This is a shorter class than our main lesson and you will be preparing dinner rather than lunch.. Both the Cooking Lessons and also the Pesto Masterclass are held every day.
We had a great experience at the Cinque Terre Cooking School. We were picked up promptly at the arranged time and brought to the site. Our teacher, Mr. Mendez, was very knowledgeable and skillful; entertaining too. We learned how to make pesto the traditional way, as well as an excellent baked sea bass. Also, gnocchi, stuffed vegetables and a delicious cake. To top it off, we were able to enjoy our cooking on their lovely terrace overlooking Monterosso al Mare below. What a wonderful day!

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!

Breathtaking views from this (sometimes) challenging hike. Now there is a ticket to buy to be able to do the hike, but it means that the path is well looked after and very safe! It was a great experience! And when finally Monterosso came to sight, we had a feeling of achievement!!
