Location & what to see

Il Cavalluccio Marino is located in the heart of Manarola, one of the five villages that make up the Cinque Terre, overlooking the Ligurian coast right above the sea. The area is pedestrian and characterized by colorful houses set into the rock, narrow alleys and stairways: the property itself is reachable only on foot, with access via stairs up to the fourth floor.

Manarola railway station is just 200 meters away, a huge advantage for those wanting to move along the coast without a car: from here, Riomaggiore, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso al Mare can be reached in just a few minutes, the villages that together form the Cinque Terre National Park, 1.4 km away. Riomaggiore Beach is about 1.3 km away, while La Spezia with its Castello San Giorgio and city museums (Amedeo Lia Museum, Technical Naval Museum) is about 7 km away. The nearest airport, Pisa Galileo Galilei, is 70 km away.

In summer, the area comes alive with swims in small rocky coves, aperitifs with sea views and the famous blue trail connecting the villages through cliffs and vineyard terraces. In autumn and spring, it’s instead the ideal season for trekking along the panoramic trails of the Cinque Terre, less crowded and more atmospheric in the late afternoon light. Just steps from the property are historic restaurants and gelaterias of the village, perfect for a taste of Ligurian cuisine after a day of excursions.

Ristorante Aristide — Seafood restaurant just steps away, ideal for traditional Ligurian dinners 40 m
