Porto Venere, Cinque Terre, Liguria, Italy

Portovenere and Liguria Riviera in a nutshell:
The old, tiny fishermen's village of Portovenere dates back to the 12th century, and is situated on a small peninsula that wades out into the glistening waters of the Mediterranean Sea and into the Gulf of Poets, famous worldwide because of the endless poems Shelley and Byron wrote about this place and its vies. With its narrow winding streets and pastel coloured houses, it is one of the most romantic villages on the Ligurian Riviera. No wonder so many people come over here to get married or to celebrate important events in a unique setting.

The Ligurian Riviera is a ruggedly beautiful stretch of coastline, inset with five small colourful villages, perched between the intensely blue Mediterranean Sea, and a range of steep, dramatic coastal hills, covered with lush olive groves and lemon orchards.
The landscape is so unique, that the Riviera has been listed in 1998 as "world heritage" under the protection of Unesco. Here you will find untamed nature. Fifty years ago, only few people knew of this happy stretch of coast. Today, the Riviera IS always a paradise, but no longer a secret. Such an Eden could not stay secret for long.

The Ligurian Riviera is better knows as " the Riviera", and is one of those places people read about once, and dream about forever. A secluded part of the Italian region of Liguria, near the French Border, the Riviera is a ruggedly beautiful stretch of coastline, inset with five tiny colourful villages, perched between the Mediterranean Sea and a range of steep coastal hills. The aura of romance about the place is enhanced by the very names of the five villages: Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. Here, historic churches ring the time of the day as they call attention to their incredible beauty, and wherever you go, you are bound to suddenly come across one of the Riviera's numerous grand aristocratic villas, some of which have remained in the family for centuries. This picturesque and culturally rich region, boasts breathtaking sea views and gorgeous mountain backdrops, and is close to the heart of Europe and to the artistic and architectural wealth of Central Italy. This fascinating Riviera is situated on a gulf that embraces the warm, intensely blue Mediterranean sea, rich in tones and shades, and an inland of olive groves and deep green forests all still to discover. Here you will enjoy the most beautiful sunsets, and the extremely romantic footpaths, cut through lush extensive Lemon orchards and olive groves.
For those who love sports, tennis courts, soccer fields, basketball courts, public swimming pools, horse riding, sailing schools, windsurf and water skiing and boat renting, just to name some, are all available to you. Ample, sunny, golden sand beaches and pebbles are tempting and seductive. For nightlife lovers, restaurants, pizzerias, discos, ballrooms, movie theatres, theatres and night clubs, will satisfy you by every standard.
The landscape here - with its multicoloured villages, and the spectacular coastline - is so unique, that the Riviera has been listed in 1998 as a world heritage under the protection of Unesco. Here you will find untamed nature. Fifty years ago, only few people knew of this happy stretch of coast. Today, the Riviera IS always a paradise, but no longer a secret. Such an Eden could not stay secret for long. The scent, the flavour and the colours of the little villages overlooking the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea, should be discovered and tasted slowly, like a very special glass of wine.
When you are actually here, do not be astonished if you surprise yourself asking: Why not settle in this paradise?
