Locanda Il Carugio is located in the village of Corniglia, the smallest and one of the most authentic of the five villages in the Cinque Terre National Park, perched on a promontory overlooking the Ligurian Sea. The carugio that gives the property its name is exactly one of the characteristic narrow lanes that climb between the colourful houses of the historic centre, away from traffic and reachable only on foot or via the scenic staircase that rises from the station.
Corniglia railway station is about 400 metres away, convenient for travelling along the line connecting all the Cinque Terre villages, from Manarola (2.3 km) to Vernazza. Corniglia’s beach is 550 metres away, while Vernazza’s beach can be reached in about 2.9 km. For those arriving by air, Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport is the closest reference point, about 108 km away. Within the immediate surroundings, within 300 metres, is the entrance to the Cinque Terre National Park, while restaurants such as Bistrò Margherita, Dau Tinola and Er Posu Cafè are all about 250 metres from the property.
The area is the ideal spot for walking along the famous Sentiero Azzurro, which connects the five villages between cliffs and terraced vineyards, particularly striking in spring and during the summer months when the sea is swimmable at the nearby Fegina beach, about 6 km away. In winter the area becomes quieter, perfect for those seeking a peaceful stay among houses overlooking the sea and small local wine cellars. There is also the chance to explore nearby villages in a day, with Vernazza and Manarola easily reachable by train or on foot along the coastal trails.
