The area retains the authentic character of fishing villages, with colorful houses perched on the rock and an atmosphere that changes little between high and low season, remaining lively from June to September.
Riomaggiore’s beach is 300 meters away, while the town’s train station is about 200 meters away, a significant advantage for those who want to travel along the coast without a car: Manarola is less than 1 km away, and Vernazza and Monterosso can be reached in a few minutes by train.
