Vacation rentals in Cinque Terre

My guests will enjoy one of the best views of the hillside in Cinque Terre, enjoy local specialties and listen to my Bach played live on the piano. The focus of this year, 2021, will be J. S. Bach's Goldberg Variations and Six Partitas. I will drive my guests up to my property, inside the National Park of Cinque Terre, where they will visit a young vineyard, learn about the building techniques of the old dry stone walls that are peculiar to this area and hear some historical background of what makes our area so unique. Afterwards, they will taste food, a selection of wines and my homemade lemon liqueurs while enjoying classical piano music played live. Then I will drive them back to the village. In light of the recent global events, I will only be able to accept a maximum of 5 guests per session and the whole event will take place outdoors, on my terrace above the vines, where individual tables will be positioned in such a way as to guarantee the prescribed social distancing. As it will be impossible to organise the event indoors, if the weather does not allow for an enjoyable outdoor setting the event will be cancelled and our guests entirely reimbursed. For updates, check out our website: bachyard.com Bring along your camera, drinking water and an umbrella/blanket according to the weather. During these strange times you are also, unfortunately, required to bring a face mask.

A Cinque Terre Sunset Boat Tour is the most romantic and scenic tour you can experience when visiting the area! We will leave from the pier in Monterosso at about 6 p.m. You’ll get to admire the colorful five seaside villages from the sea, while we will tell you everything about local history and daily life. We will have an aperitif with local products to taste some typical Ligurian specialties, sipping prosecco and listening to music in the background. We'll go to explore a beautiful hidden coves, and in warmer months you’ll even be able to swim in the crystal clear waters of the National Park while enjoying the sunset. After a short break in picturesque Vernazza, we will sail towards the sunset, enjoying this natural performance in the most romantic and peaceful moment of the day. We will be back in Monterosso by 9 p.m. Other things to note Sunset Boat Tour is a shared experience that offers the opportunity to meet and socialize with other guests, who are often of different nationalities and cultures.

We will meet up in Manarola, and after a quick visit of the village, which will be nice and quiet early in the morning, we will start our adventure by taking a deep breath and hiking up to Volastra, a wonderful hamlet as far off the beaten path as you can get in this area. The hike is straight uphill and it will make you sweat, we promise! There will be plenty of visual rewards along the path, though, because you will get the most spectacular views of Manarola and the sea, almost like you were a drone (only without flying off the rocks!). Then, after approximately 1 hour, we will reach our destination. And there, only there, will you feel like you have earned your well deserved wine tasting. We will drink the wine of one of the greatest local winemakers right on his vineyard while looking at the Mediterranean directly below, almost touching the sky and rejoicing in the power of nature. After the wine tasting, our experience is finished. From Volastra, you can choose to continue on the trail to Corniglia, the next Cinque Terre town, go back down the trail to Manarola, or take the eco-bus down to Manarola at a cost of 2.50 per person. Other things to note Rain can be serious in the Cinque Terre, so if it is raining too heavily, or if the National Park issues a weather alert, we won't be able to do the hike. In that case, we will take the eco-bus up to Volastra at an additional cost of 2.50 per person.

In this experience you'll learn how to make the king Tiramisù biting sugar, eggs and mascarpone in the softest and smoothiest cream ever; finally, you'll enjoy a tasting that features the Tiramisù you made with a glass of Cinque Terre dessert wine. In addiction to discover the history and traditions behind the recipe, you'll get a typical italian culinary experience. The experience will take place in a XVI century private home and we will respect the distances and all the rules antiCOVID This experience is recommended for more then 2 people. PLEASE NOTE that Tiramisù is not vegan and is not suitable for people with lactose, gluten and eggs intolerance.

We'll take you up the coast departing from Riomaggiore, the most southern village in the Cinque Terre. We'll slowly cruise along the coast past all the villages until we get to the most northern village of Monterosso. Then we'll turn around and slowly head back to Riomaggiore. You'll be able to capture stunning photos of each village while sipping a glass of prosecco or soft drink and enjoying a light bite to eat. There is no better way to take in the magical Cinque Terre region than by boat. You might even see dolphins if you are lucky! Other things to note Our tours are obviously weather dependent. In the case of bad weather or rough seas the tour will unfortunately have to be cancelled. In this case you'll receive a full refund.
