Italian Riviera
Pastel harbours and the five villages of Cinque Terre
Why we love it
The Italian Riviera's crescent-shaped coastline is home to some of Italy's most glamorous seaside towns. Here the towering alps come crashing down to waterfront bays and quaint seaside villages. This enchanting region has been drawing artists and aristocrats for hundreds of years. Take in the impossibly pretty villages of the world-famous Cinque Terre. Relax on the long beaches of Alassio or Bordighera or wander around the cobbled squares and past the impressive superyachts of the charming Portofino.
Wherever you choose to stay, you're bound to love the relaxed glamour of Italy's seaside playground. Explore the guides below for a more detailed overview of each town and area or pick up the phone to talk with one of our team of experts.
