Location & what to see

Affittacamere Il Timone is located in the heart of Corniglia, one of the five villages of the Cinque Terre National Park, perched on a promontory overlooking the Ligurian Sea. The property is just 50 metres from the park entrance and 200 metres from the village’s pebble beach, reachable via the staircase known as the Lardarina. The village, free of vehicle traffic, retains medieval alleys, terraced vineyards and a panorama that opens onto the coast as far as Manarola.

Corniglia railway station is about 650 metres away, with regional connections that reach the other Cinque Terre villages, from Vernazza to Riomaggiore, in just a few minutes. La Spezia Centrale station, a hub for long-distance trains, is about 25 km away, while Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport is 108 km away. Nearby you’ll also find some food and wine spots such as Bar Nunzio and Enoteca il Pirun, both just steps from the property’s entrance.

In summer, guests can walk to Corniglia beach or to Vernazza beach, about 2.7 km away, or follow the scenic paths connecting the villages along the coast, part of the famous Via dell’Amore. In autumn and winter, when tourist numbers decrease, Corniglia offers a more authentic atmosphere, ideal for walks among the vineyard terraces and for tasting sciacchetrà, the area’s typical sweet wine, in the village’s wine bars.
