Italy’s Corniglia, the smallest of the five villages of Cinque Terre, is perched atop a 100-meter (328.1 feet) promontory surrounded by flourishing vineyards and terraces, making it a perfect spot for a vacation. Due to Corniglia’s vantage point atop a hill, there are only a few options on how to reach the center, which is by train or on foot. Either way, it still requires climbing the 382-long brick flight of steps of Lardarina. The village’s unique planning structure, accessibility to adjacent towns, and wonderful attractions such as Belvedere di Santa Maria make it enthralling to visit.
If you want to explore the understated beauty of this paradise, then check out this list of top Airbnb vacation rentals in Corniglia, Italy, to see which one is ideal for your much-anticipated getaway.
