Corniglia is the smallest and most secluded of the five villages of the Cinque Terre, perched on a headland high above the sea, with no direct access to the coast from the historic centre: the beach is reached by walking down a scenic path. Sole Terra Mare is located right in this ancient core, 600 metres from the Corniglia Beach and just 50 metres from the Cinque Terre National Park, amid terraced vineyards and colourful houses typical of the area.
Corniglia railway station is about 650 metres away, convenient for getting around the Riviera without a car, while Manarola is just over 2 km away. Vernazza Beach is 2.6 km away. For those coming from further afield, La Spezia Centrale station is 25 km away and Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport is 107 km away. Within a few dozen metres there are several restaurants, including Cecio, Dau Tinola and Er Posu Cafè, all less than 100 metres from the property.
The area is the natural starting point for the famous blue trail linking the villages of the Cinque Terre, particularly busy in spring and autumn when the weather is milder for walking. In summer the nearby beach and crystal-clear waters attract swimmers from all along the coast, while in winter Corniglia offers a quieter atmosphere, ideal for those seeking peace. Fegina Beach, near Monterosso, can be reached in about 5.7 km for those wanting a change of scene.
Guests especially praise the cleanliness and staff, both rated 9.9, followed by an almost flawless comfort score of 9.7. The location, particularly appreciated by couples with 9.8, and the value for money at 9.6 also confirm an overall very positive experience.
